Electroreduction Of The Nittobenzene On Titanium Electrode Implanted With Palladium, Zhongda Wu, Xianjun Zhu, Hongsen Wang
Electroreduction Of The Nittobenzene On Titanium Electrode Implanted With Palladium, Zhongda Wu, Xianjun Zhu, Hongsen Wang
Journal of Electrochemistry
The titanium substrates were bombarded with 1×10￣(17)～5×10￣(17)ions·cm￣(-2) ofpalladium at the room temperature. The surface composition of implanted electrede and concentration-depth profiles of various elements were measured by AES. The electrored uction processes ofnitrobenzene(NB)in 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution at Pd/Ti electrodes have been investigated by cyclicvoltaivimetry.The results show that the palladium implanted titanium electrodes exhibit a high catalyticactivity in the electroreduction of NB. The NB radical anion,which is the product of one-electronelectroreduction of NB,was detected by ESR in-situ in conjunction with electrochemical methods. Aniline was also detected as a product of electroreduction of NB by using UV-spectra in-situ. According to the …

Room Temperature Aging Of Pd-Cu-Ga Dental Alloys, William A. Brantley, Zhuo Cai, Qiang Wu, Alan B. Carr, John C. Mitchell
Cells and Materials
Specimens of three Pd-Cu-Ga dental alloys cast five years ago and subsequently stored at room temperature were reexamined and observed to have lower amounts of the eutectic constituents in the near-surface region than originally present, along with other microstructural changes. This previously unreported room temperature aging behavior of these alloys is attributed to the presence of high-diffusivity paths in the non-equilibrium ascast eutectic structures and to the essential role of the surface for the vacancy diffusion mechanism. These results may have important clinical significance for the ill vivo corrosion resistance and long-term biocompatibility of the Pd-Cu-Ga alloys.
