Iron Quantum Dots Electro-Assembling on Vulcan XC-72R: Hydrogen Peroxide Generation for Space Applications.

Highly dispersed iron-based quantum dots (QDs) onto powdered Vulcan XC-72R substrate were successfully electrodeposited by the rotating disk slurry electrodeposition (RoDSE) technique. Our findings through chemical physics characterization revealed that the continuous electron pathway interaction between the interface metal-carbon is controlled. The rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) and the prototype generation unit (PGU) of HO generation in fuel cell experiments revealed a high activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) via two-electron pathway.

NADH Electrooxidation Using Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) (2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)-Exchanged Zirconium Phosphate Modified Carbon Paste Electrodes.

We present a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified using the electron mediator bis(1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) (2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) ([Ru(phend)(2)bpy](2+)) exchanged into the inorganic layered material zirconium phosphate (ZrP). X-Ray powder diffraction showed that the interlayer distance of ZrP increases upon [Ru(phend)(2)bpy](2+) intercalation from 10.3 Å to 14.

Layered inorganic materials as redox agents: ferrocenium-intercalated zirconium phosphate.

The direct intercalation reaction of ferrocene (bis(eta5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II), Fc) with a highly hydrated layered zirconium phosphate (ZrP) resulted in the formation of the ferrocenium ion (Fc+) within the ZrP material. The Fc+-intercalated ZrP material has an interlayer distance of 10.7 A.
