Polythiophene-WO3 hybrid architectures for low-temperature H2S detection

Application of polypyrrole nanowires for the development of a tyrosinase biosensor

“…In comparison with other tyrosinase biosensors fabricated using nanostructured matrices, the function of the proposed biosensor seems to be satisfactory. Sensitivity of the prepared biosensor towards catechol, as well as its limits of detection were noticeably better than those reported by Cernat et al (2014) for a biosensor with enzyme entrapped in template-assisted nanostructured poly(pyrrole-NTA) films, 0.344 A mol −1 L cm −2 and 0.98 M, respectively, and for a bioelectronic tongue based on lipidic nanostructured layers containing phenol oxidases, 0.317 A mol −1 L cm −2 and 0.52 M, respectively (Medina-Plaza et al, 2014). Also, the preparation of the proposed PPyNWs biosensor appears to be easier and faster.…”

“…In the recent two decades, conducting polymers have been extensively studied as attractive components of immobilization matrices because of their electrochemical, optical, mechanical and electrical properties. Among the large family of conducting polymers employed for biosensor construction, particularly widespread are polythiophene (Bai et al, 2014), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (Krzyczmonik et al, 2015), polyanlilines (Srinives et al, 2014) and polypyrrole (PPy), one of the most extensively studied conducting polymers (Mosnáčková et al, 2013). Because of the characteristic electron structure with alternating single and double carbon-carbon bonds along the polymeric chains, PPy is characterized by high electrical conductivity, low ionization potential, high electron affinity, but also by tunable physicochemical features, relatively simple preparation and good stability (Ćirić-Marjanović et al, 2013).…”

Encapsulating Au‐Fe3O4 Nanodots into AIE‐active Supramolecular Assemblies: Ambient Visible‐light Harvesting “Dip‐Strip” Photocatalyst for C−C/C−N Bond Formation Reactions

“…The ESI‐MS spectrum exhibited peak at m / z= 2907.0722 which is in accordance with the theoretical molecular mass of polyaniline and polythiophene species [C 200 H 138 N 8 S 8 H] + (Figure S17). The powder XRD analysis of this sample showed the characteristic peaks suggesting the formation of polyaniline species and polythiophene species (Figure S18) . The IR spectrum of the oxidized species also supported the formation of polythiophene and polyaniline species (Figure S19) .…”

Flexible Transparent Films Based on Nanocomposite Networks of Polyaniline and Carbon Nanotubes for High‐Performance Gas Sensing

“…Flexible‐transparent gas sensors are envisioned to be crucial components in portable electronic devices, which could provide ultra‐sensitive and highly selective real‐time analysis for healthcare and environmental monitoring. However, traditional gas detectors, which are mostly made from solid powder‐like gas‐sensing materials deposited on ceramic tubes or inter‐finger probes, do not possess the required flexibility or transparency. Hence, there exists a need to develop high‐performance gas sensors that are based on transparent and flexible materials.…”
