“…Polyaniline/palladium composites can be deposited on RVC electrochemically, and show interesting behaviour for hydrogen adsorption [67]. The distribution of the 5 nm palladium crystals depended heavily on the concentration of polyaniline and on the mode of deposition.…”

The limitations of 2-dimensional electrodes can be overcome by using threedimensional materials having sufficient porosity and active area while offering moderate mass transport rates and a relatively low pressure drop at controlled electrolyte flow rate. In concept, a wide variety of metal, ceramic and composite materials are possible but restrictions are imposed by the need to avoid materials degradation, while maintaining adequate electrical conductivity, sufficient robustness and the possibility of facile scale-up. Despite its fragility, one of the traditional electrode materials used as a porous, 3-dimensional electrode is carbon foam, particularly in the 97% vol. porous form of reticulated vitreous carbon, RVC. A timeline indicates that the history of this material dates back over 50 years to the mid1960s, when it was primarily used as an uncoated material in small-scale, laboratory electroanalysis. Surface modification and diverse coatings have considerably extended the use of RVC. Recent applications are found in sensors and monitors, electrosynthesis, environmental processing and energy conversion. This review highlights the fundamental structure and summarises the physicochemical properties of RVC. Fluid flow through various porosity grades of the material, their active electrochemical area and rates of mass transport are quantified. The diverse applications of RVC in energy conversion, environmental treatment and electrosynthesis are illustrated by selected examples from the authors' laboratories and others over the last 30 years. Recent research on coated RVC, energy conversion environmental remediation and sensors is highlighted. Critical areas deserving further research and development are proposed.

“…Thus, starting with the early works of Tourillon and Garnier [88] and Chandler and Pletcher [89], interest in this area has continuously grown and has resulted in a large number of experimental studies. The electrodeposition of various metals of practical interest, such as Pt [51,79,, Au [20,[142][143][144][145][146][147], Pd [148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155][156][157][158], Ag [159][160][161][162][163], Cu , Ni [159,[190][191][192][193], Pb [89,138,159] etc. and also of Pt-based bimetallic systems [95,102,103,111,112,126,135] has been extensively studied (Table 7.3).…”

IntroductionSince the remarkable discovery of high electrical conductivity in polymer materials in 1977 [1], studies on conductive polymers (CP 1 ) have developed into interdisciplinary research expanding in various directions. A significant impetus to the field was given by materials scientists in their attempts to combine the unique properties of conductive polymers with those of other inorganic and organic materials. Thus, in the last two decades, research on the synthesis of CP-based composite materials has flourished and resulted in the development of a great variety of new materials with interesting specifically designed properties. The accumulation of a great number of studies on nanocomposite materials has provoked the recent appearance of several review articles [2-7] attempting to summarize, from different specific points of view, the advances made in the field. Thus, electrochemical aspects [2,7] of CP-based composites, optical and electronic properties [3], polyaniline(PANI)-based nanocomposites [4], the involvement of composites of CPs in chemical sensing [5], and the incorporation of metallocenes in CPs [6] have been extensively discussed.

“…The special properties of sub-microparticles are due to their large surface area, which is related with their size, distribution, exposed surface area structure and mode of preparation in the dispersing medium [1][2][3][4][5][6]. To utilize and optimize the chemical/physical properties of nanosized metal particles, a large amount of research has focused on the control of the size and shape.…”
