Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) have attracted wide attention in the field of wastewater treatment owing to their fast electron transfer rate and high performance. Unfortunately, the low electro-chemical activity of carbonaceous materials commonly used in BESs remains a bottleneck for their practical applications. Especially, for refractory pollutants remediation, the efficiency is largely limited by the cathode property in term of (bio)-electrochemical reduction of highly oxidized functional groups. Herein, a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and polyaniline (PANI) modified electrode was fabricated via two-step electro-deposition using carbon brush as raw material. Benefiting from the modified graphene sheets and PANI nanoparticles , the rGO/PANI electrode shows highly conductive network with the electro-active surface area increased by 12 times (0.013 mF cm −2 ) and the charge transfer resistance decreased by 92% (0.23Ω) comparing with the unmodified one. Most importantly, the rGO/PANI electrode used as abiotic cathode achieves highly efficient azo dye removal from wastewater. The highest decolorization efficiency reaches 96 ± 0.03% within 24 h and the maximum decolorization rate is as high as 20.9 ± 1.45 g h −1 ·m −3 . The features of improved electro-chemical activity and enhanced pollutant removal efficiency provide a new insight toward development of high performance BESs via electrode modification for practical application.

In this study, a polyaniline/mesoporous silica (PANI/MCM-41) composite material that can be used as a filler for permeable reactive barrier (PRB) was prepared by in situ polymerization. Firstly, the adsorption capacity of PANI/MCM-41 on Cr (VI) in solution was investigated. The results show that the prepared PANI/MCM-41 exhibits a significant Cr (VI) adsorption capacity (~ 340 mg/g), and the adsorption process is more accurately described by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic functions evidenced that the Cr(VI) adsorption was an endothermic spontaneous process. In addition, adsorption–desorption cycle experiments proved the excellent reusability of the material. Subsequently, the material was utilized as a filler in the PRB for the remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil using electrokinetic-permeable reactive barrier (EK-PRB) technology. The results show that compared with traditional electrokinetic remediation, the use of PANI/MCM-41 as an active filler can enlarge the current during remediation and enhance the conductivity of soil, which increases the removal rates of total Cr and Cr(VI) in soil (17.4% and 10.2%).

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), with good reproducibility and stability, is an analytical testing technique that uses metals or metal nanoparticles as detection substrates, and it can also be used to characterize the information from molecular vibration. In this paper, we first report a facile one-step approach that allows the fabrication of assembled Ag NPs induced by polyaniline (PANI). Ag@PANI nanocomposites have the dual functions of saccharide-oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities. Therefore, they can be used as a tandem enzyme to produce hydrogen peroxide from saccharides and catalyze the oxidation of TMB. At the same time, they can be considered as a SERS substrate to obtain the characteristic peaks of TMBox. In addition, on the basis of SERS, the effects of the Ag+ concentration, temperature and pH on the activity of Ag@PANI nanocomposites as the tandem enzyme are further explored. Under the optimal conditions, the common saccharides (sucrose, fructose, glucose and lactose) were detected with linear correlation (R2) in different concentration ranges, and ultra-sensitive detection of various saccharides under label-free conditions was achieved.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging class of porous materials that attracted tremendous attention as eco-friendly photocatalysts. However, poor charge separation in most MOFs largely thwarts their photocatalytic performance. In this work, Materials of Institut Lavoisier-100(Fe) (MIL-100 (Fe)) based on iron mesh was successfully fabricated by in situ growth. MIL-100(Fe) doped with polyaniline, namely MIL-100(Fe)/PANI, were then fabricated by galvanostatic deposition followed by annealing. Compared to pure MIL-100(Fe), MIL-100(Fe)/PANI composites exhibited excellent photocatalytic performances towards Thiamphenicol (TAP) degradation and Escherichia coli ( E. Coli .) inactivation. The apparent rate constant, k , for TAP elimination of the MIL-100(Fe)/PANI composites with H 2 O 2 is approximately 3 times as high as that of pure MIL-100(Fe). The electrochemical studies showed enhanced photocatalytic performances, which can be attributed to the electronic conductivity of PANI polymers. Quenching experiments, fluorescent tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) all suggested ⋅O 2 − , e − , ⋅OH and h + as reactive oxidizing species (ROSs) involved in the photocatalytic process, where ⋅OH played the predominant ROSs. The transformation products of TAP were also isolated and characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, and transformation pathways of TAP under Vis/MIL-100(Fe)/PANI/H 2 O 2 were tentatively clarified based on involved intermediates. Herein, MOFs conjugated conductive polymers nanocomposites look promising as efficient photocatalysts for organic pollutants degradation and bacteria inactivation. This work could offer novel strategies for the development of heterojunction composites with enhanced photocatalytic performances for better environmental remediation.

This paper reports an electrochemical sensor developed based on cross-linked polyaniline/(chitosan-oxidized single-walled carbon nanotube-graphene oxide/copper oxide) nanocomposite (C-PANI/(OXSWCNTs-GO-CS)/CuO NCs) for detection of a 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The NCs synthesized by an in-situ chemical polymerization method and characterized by various techniques include XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, HR-TEM, TGA-DTG, DTA and cyclic voltammetry. A 4-CP selective electrochemical sensor was fabricated by coating a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with synthesized NCs. The experimental results reported here displayed the good electrochemical property toward 4-CP oxidation with a detection limit of 0.13 µM (S/N = 3) and good current stability. It also had an impressive percent recovery of the spiked 4-CP in real environmental samples. The improved sensing performances were attributed to the formation of the network structure of C-PANI/(OXSWCNTs-GO-CS)/CuO NCs. Therefore, this study presents a sensitive and promising 4-CP electrochemical sensor for water quality management and human health protection.

Ammonia (NH 3 ) gas is regarded as a biomarker for clinical diagnosis of various diseases and a potential indicator for the spoilage of protein-rich foods. The acuate detection of the ammonia gas concentration depend on reliable gas sensor. In this paper, flexible room temperature ammonia gas sensor based on hierarchical Au/PANI/WS 2 ternary composite was successfully prepared by in-situ polymerization, reduction and drop-coating process. The Au/PANI/WS 2 -based ammonia sensor was tested for its room temperature sensing property including response value, response/recovery time, selectivity, and long-term stability. The effects of flexible state, humidity and operating temperature on the sensor response were also investigated. The 0D/1D/2D Au/PANI/WS 2 -based sensor showed significantly enhanced ammonia sensing property both in response and response/recovery time as compared to that of pristine WS 2 . Gas sensing mechanism of the prepared sensor was investigated by complex impedance spectroscopy and in-situ fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. Besides, the sensor was proved for its practical usability in seafood spoilage detection and warning. The construction of multidimensional materials into hierarchical structure may provide an instructive way for the sensibilization of layered two-dimensional nanomaterial of WS 2.

We constructed a flexible solid-state supercapacitor based on carbon fiber cloth on which a graphene quantum dot-reduced graphene oxide solution and an aqueous polyaniline solution are alternatively sprayed. An acidic gel is used as both the electrolyte and the binder, by which two plates of electrodes are glued together, forming a symmetrical capacitor. The graphene quantum dot-reduced graphene oxide modifies the hydrophobic nature of carbon fiber cloth, which enhances the interactions between carbon fiber cloth and polyaniline. Additionally, under the strong electrostatic forces between the electropositive polyaniline and the electronegative graphene quantum dot-reduced graphene oxide, a self-assembled three-dimensional fiber-like network on carbon fiber cloth is observed. The fabricated solid-state supercapacitor shows a maximum capacitance of 82.9 mF cm–2 (1036 F g–1) at a 0.1 mA cm–2 current density referenced to the active materials on the electrodes, with a high stability of 97.7% retention after 10000 charge and discharge cycles, because of the strong interaction between polyaniline and the modified carbon fiber cloth. Moreover, the capacitance is unchanged upon bending. This facile layer-by-layer self-assembly spraying technique shows great advantages of easy operation, good controllability, and versatility and can be used universally for the fabrication of foldable and wearable photoelectric devices.

The synergistic treatment of oily wastewater containing organic hazards and emulsified oils remains a big challenge for membrane separation technology. Herein, the photocatalytic membrane, which combined the physical barrier and catalytic oxidation-driven degradation functionality, was fabricated via anchoring a nanoflower-branched CoAl-LDH@PANI Z-scheme heterojunction onto a porous polyacrylonitrile mat and using tannic acid as an adhesive. The assembly of such a Z-scheme heterojunction offered the superior photocatalytic degradation performance of soluble dyes and tetracycline (up to 94.3%) to the membrane with the improved photocatalytic activity of 2.33 times compared with the CoAl-LDH@pPAN membrane. Quenching experiments suggested that the •O2– was the most reactive oxygen species in the catalytic reaction system of the composite membrane. The greatly enhanced photocatalytic activity was attributed to the effective inhibition of photogenerated hole–electron combination using PANI as a carrier, with charge transferring from LDH to PANI. The possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism was proposed based on VB-XPS, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and DRS technologies, which was confirmed by density functional theory calculation. Meanwhile, benefiting from the superhydrophilic/oleophobic feature and low oil adhesion, the membrane exhibited high permeability for isooctane emulsion (3990.39 L·m–2·h–1), high structure stability, and satisfactory cycling performance. This work provided a strategy to develop superwetting and photocatalytic composite membranes for treating complex multicomponent pollutants in the chemical industry.

The extremely large volume variation and poor electronic conductivity of Si anode materials for lithium ion batteries have seriously hampered their performances and practical applications. SiOx materials are regarded as ideal alternatives to high-capacity Si anode materials for Li-ion batteries, since the generated Li2O matrix from Li–SiOx reactions can effectively accommodate the large volume swing of Si. Furthermore, micron-sized particles with much smaller surface area always present higher initial coulombic efficiency and tap density than nanomaterials. Based on the above considerations, SiOx microparticles with homogeneously-embedded Si nanocrystals and nanopores were fabricated by magnesiothermic reduction in this work and were further modified by high-electronic-conductivity and flexible polyaniline (PANI)–Ag shell. Profiting from these favorable features, the obtained SiOx–PANI–Ag micron-composites exhibited better cycling performances (with a reversible capacity of 1149 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles), good initial coulombic efficiency and tap density in comparison with SiOx-based materials in other works. This study promotes us to exploit advanced Si- or Sn-based materials for Li ion batteries and preparing micro/nano complex structures for promising applications.

N-doped carbon coated LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 composites were synthesized by polyaniline (PANi) as carbon and nitrogen bi-sources, and used as anode for aqueous lithium ion battery (ALIB). High-quality N-doped carbon layers were achieved to modify LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 crystal. ALIB using as-synthesized LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C-N as anode exhibited superior rate performance. It delivered discharge capacities of 122.4, 105.8, and 95.3 mAh g −1 at rates of 0.2, 10, and 20C, respectively, much higher than those (97.4, 61.1, and 43.9 mAh g −1 ) of LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C using sucrose as carbon source. Furthermore, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C-N anode demonstrated outstanding cycling performance with a capacity retention of 82.1% after 1000 cycles at 2C, while only 56.3% of capacity retention was kept for that using sucrose as carbon source. The excellent electrochemical performances of LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C-N are mainly attributed to good dispersion, proper carbon layer, and nitrogen doping, further accelerating the charge transfer and diffusion of Li ions/electrons.

Due to the short course and high mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) which will cause irreversible myocardial necrosis to induce cardiac arrest, its early diagnosis within minutes is always a challenge in clinical emergency. In this work, an ultrafast and ultrasensitive aptasensor is designed to achieve quantitatively detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) which is proved as a highly specific and sensitive biomarker to AMI, and within only 4 min, the cTnI concentration can be accurately reported. This aptasensor is constructed via an in situ growth of the oriented Pt-polyaniline (PANI) needle-like nanoarrays providing both high electrocatalysis and abundant active sites as the signal magnifier and DNA carrier. A target-induced strand release strategy is proposed to remarkably accelerate the recognition process of cTnI through the specific design of DNA stand for binding. The as-prepared aptasensor can exhibit an ultrawide linear detection range of cTnI from 1 pg mL −1 to 100 ng mL −1 satisfying the clinical demand for AMI diagnosis, together with excellent selectivity among various biomarkers. Based on its fast recognition ability, this aptasensor presents a high accuracy in the practical detection of human serum to prove its promising ability in the early and on-site diagnosis of AMI.
