This is hardly surprising, as TE devices offer unique opportunities for power generation in virtually any environment (“energy harvesting”) or demanding cooling applications through the Peltier effect. This review first provides an overview of the advances in the electrodeposition of n- and p-type thin films based on Bi2(Te, Se)3 and (Bi, Sb)2Te3, the currently best-known TE materials for room temperature applications. The overview includes information about the electrolyte and the deposition conditions as well as the achieved composition, thickness, morphology, and TE properties of the deposited films. Additionally, we present the state-of-the-art and recent developments in electroplating-based fabrication processes for microscale TE devices.

Crops Prod. 2015 70 332-340 Six porous carbon materials, produced by hydrothermal treatment of flavonoid tannin and subsequent carbonization at 1173 K, were tested as electrodes of supercapacitors. Four of these carbons were doped with nitrogen by putting tannin in contact with ammonia before or during the hydrothermal treatment. The pyrolyzed hydrothermal carbons had moderate surface areas, within the range 442-684 m2 g-1, and nitrogen contents ranging from 0.7 to 8.0 wt.%. Specific capacitances as high as 320 F g-1 and normalized capacitances as high as 58 ?F cm-2 were measured at 2 mV s-1. These performances are comparable with those obtained with high surface area-activated carbons, whereas, normalized capacitances values are among the highest ever reported. Mesostructuration, within the range 3-13 nm, of these materials appears to be a good strategy to improve their electrochem. performances at higher scan rates. We confirmed the beneficial role of oxygen up to 18 wt.%, while an optimum in nitrogen content exists from 3 to 6 wt.%. [on SciFinder(R)] Département CP2S : Chimie et électrochimie des matériaux F. L.Braghiroli V.Fierro A.Szczurek N.Stein J.Parmentier A.Celzard article CP2S023 Electrochimica Acta 2015 174 376-383 Abstract An optical-electrochemical study on the initial stages of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) electrodeposition onto gold substrate is presented in this work. Numerical methods were applied on both electrochemical and optical data to obtain the relevant kinetic parameters from electrocrystallization theoretical equations and ellipsometric models in order to describe this system in the relevant 0-15 seconds range. The in-situ ellipsometry and electrodeposition analysis reveals a three-step mechanism. After an induction time including the double layer charge, the formation of a monolayer of tellurium is highlighted, followed by the adatom surface diffusion. Then, the growth of three-dimensional Bi2Te3 crystallites is observed according a progressive nucleation and a linear growth rate. Experimental and theoretical details about each technique are given and analyzed.

Such gels were subcritically dried, freeze-dried or supercritically dried to obtain organic xerogels, cryogels and aerogels, respectively, having nitrogen contents between 3.0 and 3.7 wt.%. After pyrolysis at 900 °C, the materials presented nitrogen contents ranging from 1.9 to 3.0 wt.%, and surface areas as high as 860, 754 and 585 m2 g?1 for carbon aerogels, cryogels and xerogels, respectively. All of them displayed micropores associated with different mesopore volumes, depending on both the drying method and initial dilution of the precursor. When tested as supercapacitor electrodes, these carbon gels presented outstanding specific and normalised capacitances, up to 387.6 F g?1 and 69.5 ?F cm?2, respectively, at a scan rate of 2 mV s?1 in 4 mol L?1 H2SO4 aqueous solution. These performances are higher than those obtained with high apparent surface area-activated carbons, as the measured capacitances are indeed among the highest ever reported. The influence of nitrogen- and oxygen-based moieties was investigated, and optimal N and O contents of 2–3 and 17–18 wt.%, respectively, were observed.

L.Braghiroli V.Fierro A.Szczurek N.Stein J.Parmentier A.Celzard article CP2S005 Electrochimica Acta 2015 161 403-407 In this study, we examd. individual bismuth telluride nanowires (NWs) electrodeposited in polycarbonate membranes (PCM) used as sacrificial templates. It has been demonstrated that the compn. of Bi2Te3 is controlled by the electrodeposition conditions, e.g. the applied potential. High-resoln. transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) shows that the av. grain size of NWs increases with increasing Te content. Our results also reveal that the electrodeposited bismuth telluride NWs are n-type, and their elec. cond. increases with increasing Te content. These NWs also demonstrated a max. power factor of 195.8 mW/m·K2 for the Te-rich NW (d = 162 nm) at 300 K.

Recovery of this biomass as value-added ?ecocatalysts? provides incentives for the development of phytoextraction programs on soils degraded by mining activities. Characterization of the resulting plant-based ?Eco-Mn?? catalyst by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated the presence of unusual polymetallic complexes of Mn(II) in the catalyst, along with Fe(III). Incorporation of these species into montmorillonite K10 as solid support provided a supported Eco-Mn? catalyst, whose properties were investigated for alkene epoxidation with H2O2 (30 wt%)/NaHCO3 (0.2 M) as a green terminal oxidizing reagent. The supported Eco-Mn? catalyst demonstrated a high efficiency for styrene epoxidation, with only 0.31 mol% of Mn, a much lower content of Mn than in previously described Mn-derived heterogeneous catalysts. Whereas Fe was also present in the supported Eco-Mn? catalyst, comparison experiments showed that Fe had only a limited role in the catalysis. The water content in the reaction medium had a beneficial effect, increasing the reaction efficiency. The supported Eco-Mn? catalyst was recycled four times without any loss of activity. Comparison of its properties to those of heterogeneous catalysts made by incorporation of commercial MnCl2.4H2O and FeCl3.6H2O highlighted the superior catalytic activity of polymetallic species present in the biosourced catalyst. The substrate scope of the method was extended to various alkenes, including bulky natural products, which were epoxidized with high yields (up to 99%), sometimes much higher than those obtained with already described Mn-derived heterogeneous catalysts. Finally, by simple adjustments of reaction conditions, the method allowed controlled access to aldehydes by oxidative cleavage of various styrene-derived substrates (up to 93% yield). The method thus constitutes a valuable alternative not only to classical epoxidation reagents, but also to oxidative cleavage of styrene-derived molecules, which usually involves toxic and hazardous reagents.

In agreement with density functional theory calculations, the collected data show an overall gradual variation in the transport properties from metallic to semiconducting behavior on going from x = 3.4 to 3.8. The results evidence subtle variations in the electronic properties with the Ag content, typified by both positive and negative phonon-drag effects together with thermopower and Hall coefficient of opposite signs. Analysis of the data suggests that these features may be due to peculiarities of the dispersion of the valence bands in the vicinity of the chemical potential. A drastic influence of the Ag content on the thermal transport was evidenced by a pronounced change in the temperature dependence of the specific heat below 10 K. Nonlinearities in the Cp(T3) data are correlated to the concentration of Ag atoms, with an increase in x resulting in a more pronounced departure from a Debye law. The observed behavior mirrors that of ionic conductors, suggesting that AgxMo9Se11 for x ? 3.6 might belong to this class of compounds.

The classical analyzer is replaced by a fixed Rochon birefringent beamsplitter which splits the incidence light wave into two perpendicularly polarized waves, one oriented at + 45° and the other one at ? 45° according to the plane of incidence. Both emergent optical signals are analyzed by two identical CCD detectors which are synchronized by an optical encoder fixed on the shaft of the step-by-step motor of the compensator. The final spectrum is the result of the two averaged ? and ? spectra acquired by both detectors. We show that ? and ? spectra are acquired without systematic errors on a spectral range fixed from 400 to 800 nm. The acquisition time can be adjusted down to 25 ms. The setup was validated by monitoring the first steps of bismuth telluride film electrocrystallization. The results exhibit that induced experimental growth parameters, such as film thickness and volumic fraction of deposited material can be extracted with a better trueness.

Polymetallic catalyst activity is used in many Lewis acid catalyzed reactions according to the polymetallic catalyst prepn. The synergetic catalysis of these systems leads to efficient syntheses of complex biomols. such as dihydropyrimidinone, 5'-capped DNA and RNA, and glycosyl aminoacid. These new polymetallic catalysts also bring new possibilities in Green Catalysis, that we named "Ecol. Catalysis".

The use of this mixture allows to reach a higher solubility of Bi(III) and Te(IV) precursors compared to pure EOPipTFSI ionic liquid in which Te(IV) salts are not soluble. Moreover, this electrolyte presents an extended cathodic stability, allowing the study of electrochemical processes that occur at high cathodic potential values. A detailed voltammetric study of electrochemical systems was performed for electrolytes containing different [Bi(III)]/[Te(IV)] ratio, allowing the attribution of cathodic signals to electrochemical processes. Experimental conditions leading to the deposition of stoichiometric Bi2Te3 were then determined by varying deposition potential and electrolyte composition, using potentiostatic experiments followed by XRD and SEM-EDX analysis. By varying the concentration of precursors in the electrolyte, mirror-like coatings, adherent and homogeneous, were obtained. Electroplated Bi2Te3 presents n-type conductivity with a Seebeck coefficient equal to ?70 ?V K?1 and an electrical resistivity of 133 ?? m.

The study of their chemical characteristics was revisited to demonstrate a novel potential of this natural resource for Green Chemistry. P. douarrei showed a unique composition, which led to a novel concept of plant-based catalytic chemistry. The supported Biginelli reaction illustrated an interest of this concept for green organic synthesis. Département CP2S : Chimie et électrochimie des matériaux ClaireGrison VincentEscande EddyPetit LaetitiaGaroux ClotildeBoulanger ClaudeGrison article CP2S001 Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry 2013 706 140-148 Abstract The influence of the potential applied to the polycrystalline gold electrode on the adsorption state and structure of collagen molecules were studied by means of electrochemistry, in situ ellipsometry and in situ polarization modulation infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy. At the macroscopic level, potential and the corresponding charge accumulated on the gold electrode determine the adsorption process of the collagen film on the Au electrode surface. The protein film is stable on the electrode surface at potentials close to the potential of zero charge. The protein film sustains a large negative potential drop (??M|S ? ?0.5 V) whereas it is unstable at a small positive potential drop (??M|S ? 0.1 V) across the film. Positive net charge accumulated on the Au surface causes electrostatic repulsions of collagen molecules bearing a positive net charge. Loosening of water and destabilization of the protein film reflect repulsions between the Au electrode and the collagen molecules. In contrast, at charge densities between ?8 < ?M < ?20 ?C cm?2 electrostatic attractions between the electrode surface and the protein molecule appear. A stable, well hydrated collagen film is formed on the Au surface. Higher negative charges accumulated on the electrode surface lead to swelling on the protein film by water and lead to the desorption of the protein film from the Au surface. In situ spectroelectrochemical studies show that at the molecular level neither the secondary structure nor the orientation of collagen molecules are affected by electrical potentials. Independently of the applied potential and electric fields acting on the film the collagen molecule maintains its native structure. Collagen molecules adsorbed on the Au surface form a heterogeneous film with well-defined structure and unusual stability at the molecular level.
