  • Patent number: 9845544
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating an organic or metallic material by covalent grafting of at least one organic compound A having at least one aromatic group substituted with a diazonium function, on a surface of said material, characterized in that the material is porous or fibrillar having a geometric surface area of at least 10 cm2 of material, and in that said method includes a step of continuous imposition of a non-zero pulsed current in an intensiostatic mode on the surface of the material in order to electrochemically reduce the diazonium ion or ions. The invention further relates to the resulting composite materials and to the use of such materials for manufacturing electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20080190782
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for voltammetric electrochemical analysis of a liquid solution, for detecting and/or assaying in said solution at least one chemical species. The invention is characterized in that the method includes the following steps: contacting a sample of said solution with a single analyzing support (10) having at least two working electrodes (12) each belonging to a separate electrochemical analysis cell, each analysis cell further including a counter-electrode (13) and a reference electrode; performing a single and different measurement of said sample in each of said analysis cells, by applying an independent and different potential to each of the working electrodes (12); producing at least one voltammogram of said sample, based on said measurements; deducing from said voltammogram data concerning the detection and/or assay of said at least one chemical species in said sample.
