In this study, PEDOT coatings were electrochemically deposited on mild steel and platinum electrodes using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in a non-aqueous acetonitrile medium containing tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate. The deposition conditions—including scan rate, initial and final potentials, monomer concentration, and temperature—were optimized to achieve a homogeneous, compact, and adhesive polymer layer. The optimal conditions involved an EDOT monomer concentration of 0.01 M, a scan rate of 100 mV/s, and a potential range from − 0.5 to 1.8 V (SCE) at 30 °C. The electropolymerization process was found to be more efficient on steel (activation energy, <i>E</i><sub><i>a</i></sub> = 10.894 kJ/mol) than on platinum (<i>E</i><sub><i>a</i></sub> = 49.426 kJ/mol), resulting in a denser PEDOT film with lower activation energy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed successful polymerization, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed distinct morphological differences between PEDOT coatings on steel and platinum surfaces. Corrosion studies in HCl and H₂SO₄ solutions demonstrated that PEDOT-coated steel exhibited substantially enhanced corrosion resistance compared to uncoated steel, achieving a protective efficiency of up to 66% after 24 h of immersion. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) further highlighted the superior barrier properties of PEDOT, emphasizing its ability to prevent corrosion by forming an effective barrier layer and promoting the formation of a passive film beneath the coating.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry","volume":"29 9","pages":"3829 - 3842"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145143431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new electrochemical sensor has been developed for the sensitive and selective detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), utilizing the incorporation of zirconium metal–organic framework (UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub>) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub>/rGO electrocatalyst was synthesized by the solvothermal method using zirconium oxychloride octahydrate, 2-amino terephthalic acid and rGO. Various characterization techniques including — X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), Raman spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were employed to analyze the physical properties, morphology, and electrochemical performance of the prepared materials. The resulting UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub>/rGO/GCE electrode demonstrates effective electrocatalytic activity for the cathodic reduction of 4-NP due to its high porosity, favourable electron transfer kinetics and enhanced sensitivity. Differential pulse voltammetry reveals a linear response for 4-NP concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 100 μM, with a high sensitivity of 0.1 μA/μM and a low detection limit of 15 nM. Additionally, the sensor showcases several advantages, including anti-interference ability, selectivity for 4-NP in the presence of other interfering species, strong repeatability and stability. The developed sensor was successfully tested for practical applications in river water samples. </p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry","volume":"29 9","pages":"3843 - 3858"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145143430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, a diagnostic model for lithium plating incorporating a simplified electrochemical-thermal coupling (SETC) model is developed to predict the conditions under which lithium plating occurs, and its computational efficiency is significantly enhanced, as validated by the simulation times. The model is tested and verified using 18650-type LiMn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/graphite lithium-ion batteries. Key battery physical parameters, such as the open-circuit potential curve of the electrode materials and the full-cell entropy coefficient curve, are obtained through experiments and the least squares fitting (LSF) method. Electrochemical and thermal model parameters are obtained through designed current excitations and excitation response analysis methods. The coupled model’s accuracy is confirmed by testing its performance under constant charge–discharge conditions at various C-rates (0.5 C, 1 C, 1.5 C, 2 C, 5 C) and temperatures (5 °C, 25 °C, 45 °C). Based on the predictions of the lithium plating diagnostic model, lithium plating cycles are designed, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization of the battery’s negative electrode is performed to further verify the model’s accuracy.

These components exhibit high sensitivity to electrode kinetics, offering an alternative perspective on electrochemical reversibility compared to conventional cyclic voltammetry. To calculate the implicit current components, prior knowledge of the formal potential of the redox couple is required, along with integration of the net current.
