Graphene Field-Effect Transistor as a Probe of Doping by Adsorbed Oxygen Molecules
Blechta, Václav ; Mergl, Martin ; Drogowska, Karolina ; Kučera, Lukáš ; Valeš, Václav ; Červenka, Jiří ; Kalbáč, Martin
Graphene has high potential in chemical sensing, thus understanding adsorption and charge transfer between graphene and adsorbed molecules is essential. We show that graphene field-effect transistor exhibits a moderate sensoric response towards oxygen at temperature of 150 °C. Field-effect transistors serve as a tool to probe electronic properties of graphene. We demonstrate that adsorption of oxygen molecules onto graphene leads to an upshift of Dirac point and light changes in mobility of charge carriers.
Structural, Redox and Spectrometric Characterization of Energetic Material FOX-7 (2,2-dinitroethene-1,1-diamine) in Solution
Šimková, Ludmila ; Ludvík, Jiří
The investigation of energetic materials, especially organic nitro-amino-derivatives, always has attracted attention of physical chemists. However, published articles demonstrate lack of systematic study of molecules based on aliphatic backbones, rather than aromatic structures. This work represents the first systematic electrochemical and spectrometric characterization of 2,2-dinitroethene-1,1-diamine (FOX-7) in aqueous and aprotic solvent. Based on the results obtained from combination of electrochemistry with spectrometric methods, the actual structure of FOX-7 in various media was revealed, its reducibility described and radical intermediates as well as products were intercepted, isolated and characterized.
Role of Intramolecular Electron Interactions in Cathodic Reduction of Three Isomeric Benzenedialdehydes in Non-aqueous Media – a (Spectro)Electrochemical Study
Kantnerová, Kristýna ; Klíma, Jiří ; Ludvík, Jiří
This contribution is focused on cathodic reduction of three isomeric benzenedialdehydes – orthophthalaldehyde (OPA), isophthalaldehyde (IPA) and terephthalaldehyde (TPA) – in non-aqueous acetonitrile and dimethylformamide. Although their electrochemical behavior in aqueous solutions has been published several times, their investigation in organic aprotic solvents is lacking. Using DC-polarography, cyclic voltammetry, preparative electrolyses, coulometry and UV/Vis spectroelectro-chemistry their reduction was described and in the case of OPA and TPA, stable radical anions were characterized by EPR spectroscopy. The role of intramolecular electron interactions in their cathodic reduction is discussed.
Electrochemical Reduction of FOX-7 in Aprotic Solvent Accompanied by Formation of a Radical with Alternating Line-width Effect
Šimková, Ludmila ; Lušpai, K. ; Klíma, Jiří ; Ludvík, Jiří
Different structures of FOX-7 in various solutions play a crucial role in the mechanism of its electrochemical reduction. In aprotic solvent the irreversible four-electron, four-proton reduction of one nitro group proceeds according to the autoprotonation mechanism. The zwitterionic form of FOX-7 serves as a source of protons. The two-step reduction is accompanied by an adsorption step in dependence on used solvent and material of electrode. The in situ spectroelectrochemical measurements revealed formation of a dianion radical intermediate with alternating line-width effect. The intramolecular dynamic processes were described by temperature dependent in situ ESR measurement.
The Use of Self-Assembled Monolayer of Thiolated Calix[4]arene on Polycrystaline Gold Electrode Surface
Hrdlička, V. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Šestáková, Ivana ; Barek, J. ; Ludvík, Jiří
This study deals with the use of thiolated calixarene (C[4]A) as gold electrode modifier, alone or in combination with insulating undecanthiol (C11SH), which is used to fill the gaps between calixes. Desorption potential of thiolated C[4]A and C11SH are both pH dependent, cathodic desorption peaks can be recorded in basic solutions only. The properties of the modified electrode were investigated using hydroquinone - electrochemically active molecule which fits inside the C[4]A cavity. Obtained data suggest that the electrochemical oxidation/reduction ofhydroquinone does not use C[4]A cavities as size-selective channels.
