TL;DR: In this paper, octanoic acid 2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl ester was synthesized via the reaction of 3thiophene ethanol with octanoyl chloride, which was electrochemically homopolymerized in the presence of tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate as the supporting electrolyte, in the acetonitrile/borontrifluoride ethyl ether solvent system.

TL;DR: In this article, the two-step and one-step electrosynthesis processes of polypyrrole (PPy) films on the zinc substrate are described, and the effect of some experimental conditions such as supporting electrolyte, pH and temperature of the solution at the zinc surface pretreatment step as well as pyrrole concentration and electrochemical techniques at the polymerization step is investigated.

TL;DR: Electrical measurements performed in deionized water show that the Au/Nafion/Au-MWCNTs– Nafion:Cu cells can be successfully used in order to detect the presence of p-aminophenol (PAP) in water, without the need for any supporting electrolyte.
Abstract: A conducting composite prepared by dispersing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into a host matrix consisting of Nafion, electrochemically doped with copper, has been prepared, characterized and used to modify one of the gold electrodes of simply designed electrochemical cells having copier grade transparency sheets as substrates. Electrical measurements performed in deionized water show that the Au/Nafion/Au-MWCNTs–Nafion:Cu cells can be successfully used in order to detect the presence of p-aminophenol (PAP) in water, without the need for any supporting electrolyte. The intensity of the redox peaks arising when PAP is added to deionized water is found to be linearly related to the analyte in the range from 0.2 to 1.6 µM, with a detection limit of 90 nM and a sensitivity of 7 µA·(µM−1)·cm−2.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the WO3 loading on the TiO2/WO3 mixed metal oxide was investigated for photoelectrosplitting of water, and the results from runs carried out in solutions containing glycerol were used to study the possible role of the overlayer in the whole working mechanism of the combined structure.
Abstract: TiO2/WO3 mixed metal oxide is used in the present work as an anode for the photoelectrosplitting of water. TiO2 is used as the support under-layer in the form of either a compact or nanotubular structure. The over-layer of WO3 is obtained via cathodic electrodeposition, by means of pulse potential technique (PPT). The performances of the samples in neutral supporting electrolyte are compared when the samples are irradiated with light at two wavelengths, 365 nm and 400 nm. The effect of the WO3 loading on the performance is also investigated, as well as the charge transfer mechanism. The results from runs carried out in solutions containing glycerol are used to study the possible role of the WO3 over-layer in the whole working mechanism of the combined structure.
