The electrochemical determination of low levels of Cd using a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified Au electrode is reported. Determination was based on the stripping of Cd, which was deposited by under potential deposition (UPD). A series of short alkanethiol SAMs bearing different end groups, i.e., sulfonate, carboxylate and ammonium, were examined. Lowest level of detection (ca. 50 ngL(-1)) was achieved with a 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) monolayer using subtractive anodic square wave voltammetry (SASV). Additional surface methods, namely, reductive desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were applied to determine the interfacial structure of the electrodeposited Cd on the modified electrodes. We conclude that the deposited Cd forms a monoatomic layer, which bridges between the gold surface and the alkanethiol monolayer associating with both the gold and the sulfur atoms.[on SciFinder (R)]

The deposition of Au and Ag, locally and from bulk solution, on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was studied. Specifically, PEDOT was electrochemically polymerized onto a glassy carbon (GC) electrode and used for bulk deposition of Au and Ag from their respective ions dissolved in the solution as well as for the local deposition of these metals using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). These two sets of experiments were utilized to investigate the difference between Au and Ag electrochemical deposition on PEDOT. In particular, SECM experiments, which were conducted by the controlled anodic dissolution of Au and Ag microelectrodes close to GC/PEDOT, probed the effect of different PEDOT oxidation states on local deposition. The current-time transients recorded during the deposition, combined with scanning electron microscopy and EDX analysis provided insight into the reduction processes. AuCl(4)(-) and Ag(+) ions were electrochemically reduced at a potential equal to and more negative than the ions redox potentials (0.4 and 0.2 V, respectively) and more positive than -0.7 V, where the PEDOT starts transforming into the reduced, i.e. insulating, state. We found that the electroreduction of Ag(+) ions was diffusion-controlled and the PEDOT film served as a simple conductor. On the other hand, the reduction of AuCl(4)(-) ions was enhanced on GC/PEDOT as compared with bare GC, indicating that PEDOT catalyzes the reduction of AuCl(4)(-) to Au.[on SciFinder (R)]

The essence of this study is to apply the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique for assembling asymmetric membranes. Accordingly, Langmuir films of a (further) polymerizable polymer, 1,2-polybutadiene (1,2-pbd), were studied and transferred onto different solid supports, such as gold, indium tin oxide (ITO), and silicon. The layers were characterized both at the air/water interface as well as on different substrates using numerous methods including cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and reflection-absorption Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Langmuir films were stable at the air-water interface as long as they were not exposed to UV irradiation. The LB films formed disorganized layers, which gradually blocked the permeation of different species with increasing the number of deposited layers. The thickness was ca. 4-7 Å per layer. Irradiating the Langmuir films caused their cross-linking at the air-water interface. Furthermore, we took advantage of the reactivity of the double bond of the LB films on the solid supports and graft polymerized acrylic acid on top of the 1,2-pbd layers. This approach is the basis of the formation of an asymmetric membrane that requires different porosity on both of its sides.[on SciFinder (R)]

The electrochem. detn. of low levels of Cd using a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified Au electrode is reported. Detn. was based on the stripping of Cd, which was deposited by under potential deposition (UPD). Short alkanethiol SAMs bearing different end groups, i.e., sulfonate, carboxylate and ammonium, were examd. Lowest level of detection (∼50 ng/L-1) was achieved with a 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) monolayer using subtractive anodic square wave voltammetry (SASV). Addnl. surface methods, namely, reductive desorption and XPS, were applied to det. the interfacial structure of the electrodeposited Cd on the modified electrodes. The deposited Cd forms a monoat. layer, which bridges between the gold surface and the alkanethiol monolayer assocg. with both the gold and the sulfur atoms. [on SciFinder(R)]

Biodegradable nanoparticles represent a promising platform for controlled release and other applications in medicine. To alter the interface of the medical device with the living tissue successfully, a thin coating needs to be applied onto the surface. The traits and functionality of the coating depends on its components, which in the presented work are sol-gel and biodegradable nanoparticles (NPs) deposited onto the substrate using the electrochem. sol-gel method. Aspects affecting the deposition process were investigated such as the applied potential and its duration. The properties of the deposits with emphasis on the biodegradable NPs within the deposited films were characterized and studied. Another element examd. was the loading ability of the NPs. A fluorescent org. mol. was incorporated in the biodegradable NPs as a drug model, to demonstrate loading capability. [on SciFinder(R)]

A review. The past, present, and future of the application of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in electroanal. chem. is reviewed. SAMs for electroanal. applications were introduced in the early 1990s and since then were exploited for the detection of different species ranging from metal ions to biomols. and microorganisms. This review describes the different types of monolayers, surfaces on which they were assembled, the various analytes, which were detd., and the various electrochem. techniques employed. The prospective and perspectives of this topic are discussed. [on SciFinder(R)]

The local deposition of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on ω-mercaptoalkanoic acid, HS(CH2)nCO2H, (n = 2, 10) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) by scanning electrochem. microscopy (SECM) is reported. We found that the presence of a SAM had a pronounced effect on Ag deposition. Expts. were conducted by applying different potentials to an Au(1 1 1) substrate either in the presence of a const. concn. of Ag+ ions in soln. (bulk deposition) or by generating a flux of Ag+ from an Ag microelectrode that was positioned close to the Au(1 1 1) substrate (SECM deposition). SECM was used for generating a controlled flux of silver ions by anodic dissoln. of an Ag microelectrode close to the SAMs modified Au(1 1 1). We found that the shape of the NPs was affected by the length of the carbon-chain of the SAM. Tetrahedral NPs were obtained on bare Au(1 1 1) surfaces while rod like and cubic Ag NPs were deposited onto 3-mercaptopropanoic acid (MPA) and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) SAMs, resp. The size and shape of the deposited NPs were influenced by the deposition potential. We conclude that the shape and distribution of locally deposited Ag NPs on Au(1 1 1) can be controlled by modification of the substrate with a SAM and through controlling the Ag+ flux generated by SECM.
