The advantages of this approach for producing composite layers suitable for electroanalytical applications are discussed. Examples of electroanalytical applications of LbL-deposited composites are presented. Composite layers consisting of polyaniline (PANI) and Pd NPs are used for hydrazine oxidation. The PANI-Au NPs system is applied for dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) oxidation.}, language = {en} } @misc{LangeIvanovLyutovetal., author = {Lange, Ulrich and Ivanov, Svetlozar D. and Lyutov, Vladimir V. and Tsakova, Vessela T. and Mirsky, Vladimir M.}, title = {Voltammetric and conductometric behaviour of self assembled multilayer nanocomposites of polyaniline and gold nanoparticles}, series = {Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry}, volume = {14}, journal = {Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry}, number = {7}, issn = {1432-8488}, doi = {10.1007/s10008-009-0922-2}, pages = {1261 -- 1268}, abstract = {Multilayer nanocomposites from polyaniline (PANI) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were formed by layer-by-layer deposition. The formation of PANI-AuNPs multilayer structures was monitored by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Each deposited bilayer of PANI-AuNPs led to a monotonous and almost linear increase in both optical absorbance and the first current peak of PANI oxidation. The prepared multilayer nanocomposites were characterized by in situ conductivity measurements at different pH and potential and by transmission electron microscopy. Finally, chemosensitive properties of the new material based on the intrinsic affinity of gold nanoparticles were studied. Changes in the film resistance on exposure to vapors of mercury and sulfur-containing compounds were observed.}, language = {en} }
