The influence of an IrO2 interlayer between the Ti substrate and the SnO2–Sb2O5 coating on the electrode service life and on the efficiency of p-chlorophenol (p-CP) oxidation for wastewater treatment has been investigated. The results have shown that if the loading of the SnO2–Sb2O5 coating relative to the IrO2 interlayer loading (γ ratio defined b...

Metal and metal oxide particles and nanoparticles, differing from each other by their nature and synthesis technique, were deposited onto boron-doped diamond (BDD) thin film electrodes. The applicability in electrocatalysis of thermally decomposed IrO2 and Au nanoparticles, electrodeposited Pt particles, dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles (Pt ...

A novel method was developed to synthesize bi-metallic nanoparticles (Au–Pt) on boron-doped diamond (BDD) substrate. This method consisted of (a) deposition of a small amount of gold (equivalent to a few monolayers) by sputtering on the BDD surface, (b) heat treatment of the obtained sample at 600 °C in air, resulting in the formation of stable nan...

Electrolysis in aqueous 1 M HClO4 and 1 M H2SO4 solutions has been carried out under galvanostatic conditions using boron-doped diamond electrodes (BDD). Analyses of the oxidation products have shown that in 1 M HClO4 the main reaction is oxygen evolution, while in H2SO4 the main reaction is the formation of H2S2O8. In both electrolytes small amoun...

A nano-porous anodized aluminium oxide layer was synthesized on the surface of bulk aluminium at a wide range of anodization voltages. The barrier layer at the pore bottom of anodized aluminium oxide layer was chemically etched to make good electrical contact for nanowires electrodeposited in the pores thus formed on metallic aluminium substrates. ...

The shape evolution of cavities produced by multistep electrochemical micromachining is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A boundary element code is used for 2D simulation of the shape evolution as a function of applied charge. A two-step process is simulated by assuming that metal dissolves from a small area at the bottom of a he...

The relation between the catalyst potential and the catalytic performance has been investigated in the gas-phase combustion of propylene with oxygen over rhodium catalysts at 375 °C. The rhodium catalyst, deposited on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) solid electrolyte, also served as working electrode in the electrochemical cell. Under open-circuit...

AbstractBlack finished surfaces have extensive applications in many domains, such as optics, solar cells, and aerospace. The single-step electrodeposition of superhydrophobic black NiO films from a dimethyl sulfoxide-based electrolyte is described in this paper. The physicochemical properties of the obtained film were characterized using scanning e...

AbstractIn this paper, an electrochemical sensor was fabricated for the sensitive and simultaneous analysis of Pb(II) and Cd(II) by the modification of glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) with a dispersion of l-cysteine-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNs) incorporating Nafion and ionic liquid (IL) (SWCNs/l-cysteine/Nafion-IL/GCE). The...

AbstractThe Prussian blue and polypyrrole nanocomposite (PB–PPy) was synthesised by a facile spontaneous self-assembly (SA) procedure through the layering of multiple sequential absorptions of FeCl3–K3[Fe(CN)6] and pyrrole. The morphology of PB–PPy nanocomposite was rough and irregular, whereas the PB nanocubes (used as experimental control) had a ...
