| Abstract | In this paper we report the fabrication of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) ultrathin films (UTFs) via the layer-by-layer assembly technique, and their switchable electrocatalytic performance in response to temperature stimuli was demonstrated. X-ray diffraction and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy indicate a periodic layered structure with uniform and regular growth of the (LDH/pNIPAM)(n) UTFs; an interaction based on hydrogen bonding between LDH nanoparticles and pNIPAM was confirmed by X-ray-photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Temperature-triggered cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy switch for the UTFs was obtained between 20 and 40 °C, accompanied by reversible changes in surface topography and film thickness revealed by atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry, respectively. The electrochemical on-off property of the temperature-controlled (LDH/pNIPAM)(n) UTFs originates from the contraction-expansion configuration of pNIPAM with low-high electrochemical impedance. In addition, a switchable electrocatalytic behavior of the (LDH/pNIPAM)(n) UTFs toward the oxidation of glucose was observed, resulting from the temperature-controlled charge transfer rate. Therefore, this work provides a facile approach for the design and fabrication of a well-ordered command interface with a temperature-sensitive property, which can be potentially applied in electrochemical sensors and switching. |
