Study On Electrochemical Reduction Properties Of Nitrobenzene, Chuna Ma, Wenkui Zhang, Hui Huang, Yongping Gan Nov 1999

Study On Electrochemical Reduction Properties Of Nitrobenzene, Chuna Ma, Wenkui Zhang, Hui Huang, Yongping Gan

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrochemical reduction characteristics of nitrobenzene was extensively investigated by using the techniques such as quasi_steady_state polarization,cyclic voltammetry,fast linear potential sweep method and chronoamperometry in this paper.The electroanalytic properties of Cu,Cu_Hg and Cu_Ni electrodes were evaluated.Based on the study of the transient steping behaviour of nitrobenzene to PAP,the reduction mechanism was discussed.The results showed that the transition steps existed on the electrochemical reduction of nitrobenzene in acidic solution,the reactant is also absorbed on electrodes surface. The control step in the reduction of nitrobenzene was ascribed to the diffusion of nitrobenzene and its electrochemical reductive products in the acid solution.

Photoelectrochemical Studies On The Tio_2 Nanostructured Porous Film Sensitized By Cyanine Dye, Li Zhang, Maizhi Yang, Xuebin Qiao, Yanzhong Hao, Enqing Gao, Shengmin Cai

Journal of Electrochemistry

The photoelectrochemical behaviors of the TiO 2 nanostructured porous film sensitized by cyanine dye were investigated in this paper.The results showed that the excitaed state level matched the conduction band edge of TiO 2 nanoparticle.Therefore the sensitization of the dye can increase the photocurrent intensity of the TiO 2 nanostructured electrode obviously and results in a red-shift of optical absorption from the ultra_violet region to the visible.As a result,the light_to _electricity conversion efficiency was improved evidently,the maximum value of IPCE has reached 12.1%.

Investigation Of Sodium Hypophosphite Anodic Oxidizing Behavior In The Process Of Acid Electroless Nickel Deposition, Meiyuan Wang, Yafei Kuang, Yan Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The anodic oxidizing behavior of sodium hypophosphite in the process of electroless nickle deposition(pH=5.5) was investigated with the linear potential sweep method and alternating current impedance.The results indicated that,the oxidation of NaH 2PO 2 was a complicated electrochemical process and affected by the concentration of NaH 2PO 2, the temperature of the bath,the sweep rate and the existence of nickel ion. The NaH 2PO 2 electrooxidation reaction was very likely preceded by heterogeneous interface transformation process,which might be the control step of the whole anodic process.

Mechanical testing and surface fractography were used to characterize the fracture of E-glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites as a function of the silane coupling agent used. gamma-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and delta-aminobutyltriethoxysilane (ABS) were used because these have been shown to have different interfacial mobilities at multilayer coverage. The values of the properties studied generally increased from untreated c, as determined from a Mode I translaminar fracture toughness tests, for the untreated composites (10.5 ± 0.4 kJ/m2) was lower than that for the ABS-treated composites (14.3 ± 2.1 kJ/m2) which was lower than that for the APS-treated composites (17.1 ± 2.4 kJ/m2). …

Journal of Electrochemistry

Li 2+x Gd xSi 1-x O 3( x =0~0.15) samples have been prepared by the Sol_Gel method. The power samples were characterized by DTA_TG, XRD and TEM. Ionic conductivity of the sinter was determined by means of A_C impedance measurements. The experimental results showed that the range of solid_solution was 0< x ≤0.09, while the conductivity of samples raised with increasing amount of Gd 2O 3 added, and average grain size of samples was 80 nm. In comparing with the samples by the conventional solid state reaction, the samples prepared by Sol_Gel method required lower temperature and presented higher ionic conductivity.
