In this study, 2-[(E)-(hexylimino)methyl] phenol (SA-Hex-SF) was synthesized by adding salicylaldehyde (SA) and n-hexylamine (Hex-NH2), which was subsequently reduced by sodium borohydride to produce 2-[(hexylamino)methyl] phenol (SA-Hex-NH). Finally, the SA-Hex-NH reacted with formaldehyde to give a benzoxazine monomer (SA-Hex-BZ). Then, the monomer was thermally polymerized at 210 °C to produce the poly(SA-Hex-BZ). The chemical composition of SA-Hex-BZ was examined using FT-IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD), respectively, were used to examine the thermal behavior, surface morphology, and crystallinity of the SA-Hex-BZ and its PBZ polymer. Mild steel (MS) was coated by poly(SA-Hex-BZ) which was quickly prepared using spray coating and thermal curing techniques (MS). Finally, the electrochemical tests were used to evaluate the poly(SA-Hex-BZ)-coating on MS as anti-corrosion capabilities. According to this study, the poly(SA-Hex-BZ) coating was hydrophobic, and corrosion efficiency reached 91.7%.
Nonenzymatic sensors based on a metals nanocomposite with high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability has been received considerable interest. In this study, a novel electrochemical nanocomposite sensor based on palladium nanoclusters (PdNCs) decorated electrochemically activated graphene (EAGr) was established for highly sensitive nonenzymatic H2O2 sensor. The PdNCs/EAGr nanocomposite was fabricated via an electrochemical activation of Gr by the potential cycling in the range of +0.6 to −1.8 V, followed by the electrodeposition of PdNCs at −0.4 V applied potential. The homogeneous dispersion of PdNCs/EAGr nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The PdNCs/EAGr nanocomposite electrode showed higher electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of H2O2 in pH 7.0 of 0.1 M PBS by significantly enhancing the reduction peak current and reduced the reduction overpotential as well as eliminated other interfering species responses. The PdNCs/EAGr electrode displayed a wide linear range for H2O2 reduction from 1.0 to 1100 μM with limit of detection 0.02±0.01 μM. The higher sensitivity and selectivity as well as long‐time stability and excellent reproducibility obtained, indicating the proposed sensor is an effective H2O2 based sensor. In addition, the analytical application of the nancomposite sensor was successfully examined for the determination of H2O2 in the real sample of human urine indicating that the appreciable practicality of the nonenzymatic sensor for the determination of H2O2 in physiological fluids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
