Electrochemical Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Studies On Nickel Ultramicroelectrode, Li-Wen Wu, Wei Wang, Yi-Fan Huang
Electrochemical Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Studies On Nickel Ultramicroelectrode, Li-Wen Wu, Wei Wang, Yi-Fan Huang
Journal of Electrochemistry
Nickel (Ni) electrodes are widely used in electrochemical researches. Understanding electrochemical processes on Ni electrodes through in-situ characterization of adsorbed species on their surfaces is helpful for rational optimization and application of Ni electrochemistry. Microelectrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (μEC-SERS) combines the mass transfer feature of ultramicroelectrode with high-sensitivity characterizations of molecular structures, which is a powerful method for studying Ni electrochemistry on polarization and non-equilibrium conditions. The key point of performing μEC-SERS is to make a SERS-active Ni ultramicroelectrode.
Here, we demonstrate a method of preparing a SERS-active Ni ultramicroelectrode through electrochemical deposition of several atomic layers of …
Atomistic Simulation Study Of Nickel Solute Segregation And Mechanical Behavior In Nanocrystalline Fcc, Bcc And Hcp Binary Alloys, Eve-Audrey Picard
Atomistic Simulation Study Of Nickel Solute Segregation And Mechanical Behavior In Nanocrystalline Fcc, Bcc And Hcp Binary Alloys, Eve-Audrey Picard
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Nanocrystalline metals and alloys have been proven to possess unprecedentedly higher tensile strength than coarse-grained conventional metals. The extreme grain refinement in nanocrystalline metals, however, negatively affects these materials by reducing their ductility through grain-boundary embrittlement and shear localization mechanisms that are promoted by segregation of solute atoms to the interfaces. Different segregation behaviors described in the literature can be divided into either heterogeneous or homogeneous types. Yet current understanding of the impact of solute atom arrangements within grain boundary networks on mechanical properties of cubic and hexagonal nanocrystals remains limited. In this thesis, hybrid Monte-Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations …
Tribological Performance Of Novel Nickel-Based Composite Coatings With Lubricant Particles, Ignacio Tudela, Andrew J. Cobley, Yi Zhang
Tribological Performance Of Novel Nickel-Based Composite Coatings With Lubricant Particles, Ignacio Tudela, Andrew J. Cobley, Yi Zhang
Friction
The present study is focused on the evaluation of the tribological performance of novel Ni/hBN and Ni/WS2 composite coatings electrodeposited from an additive-free Watts bath with the assistance of ultrasound. Lubricated and non-lubricated scratch tests were performed on both novel composite coatings and on standard Ni deposits used as a benchmark coating to have an initial idea of the effect of the presence of particles within the Ni matrix. Under lubricated conditions, the performance of the Ni/hBN composite coating was very similar to the benchmark Ni coating, whereas the Ni/WS2 behaved quite differently, as the latter did not only show …

Travelling In Cuba, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
Contact with Cuban scientists was established in 1986 when two researchers from Centro de Investigaciones para Industria Minero Metalurgica in Havana visited Laval University to get acquainted with research activities in the area of extractive metallurgy. This was followed in early 1987 by two more researchers from the same centre. Invitations were then received in late 1987, 1989, and 2008 to visit the nickel refineries in Cuba and to hold seminars at the University of Havana. The present report outlines these activities.
Ni-Mo-P Alloy By Electroless Deposition And Its Properties, Sen-Lin Wang
Ni-Mo-P Alloy By Electroless Deposition And Its Properties, Sen-Lin Wang
Journal of Electrochemistry
The electroless Ni-Mo-P alloy has been deposited from the alkaline bath containing boric acid as a buffer agent and sodium citrate as a complexing agent. The effect of deposition parameters, such as pH and concentration of (NH_(4))_(6)Mo_(7)O_(24)4H_(2)Oon the plating rate, the composition, the structure and the microhardness of the coating was examined. It was found that the presence of molybdenum has an inhibitory effect on the alloys deposition. As a consequence, the percentage of molybdenumin the Ni-Mo-P coatings never reaches high values, which was lower than 20 at%. It was also shown that the deposition condition affects the microhardness of …

Electrochemical Synthesis And Characterization Of The Nickel Electropolyurushiol Coordination Polymer, Feng Gao, Guo-Cai Shen, Jie-Yuan Tang, Wen-Gong Zhang
Journal of Electrochemistry
The nickel electropolyurushiol coordination polymer(EPU Ni 2+ ) was obtained by the reaction between nickel chloride isopropyl alcohol solution with electropolyurushiol (EPU).The electrochemical polymerization of urushiol and the preparation of nickel electropolyurushiol coordination polymer were investigated.The coordination polymer was characterized by XPS,FT_IR,DMTA and AES methods,and its composition and structure were determined.The content of Ni 2+ reached up to 7.5%. It was shown that there was certain coordination between Ni 2+ and electropolyurushiol in the coordination polymer,thus cross_links were formed.Therefore the glass transition temperature of the coordination polymer increased and heat resistance was enhanced considerably.

An Analysis On The Microstructure Of Electrodeposited Zro 2 Ni Functionally Graded Materials, Chengjun Quan, Xinghua Xiang, Jingchuan Zhu, Zhongda Yin
Journal of Electrochemistry
The electrodeposited ZrO 2 Ni functionally graded coating was fabricated by controlling the ZrO 2 concentration in the bath, and the microstructure was analyzed by X Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA). The results show that the functionally graded coating has excellent compositional gradient distribution from the substrate to the surface. The content of ZrO 2 is up to 14.4 vol% in the surface layer and the coating consists of the t ZrO 2, m ZrO 2 and Ni phases. Owing to the ZrO 2 particles pressed by Ni atoms during electrodepositing, t→m transformation has occurred.

The mechanical behavior of dual-phase NiAl(Cr) microstructures, consisting of elongated primary NiAl grains aligned with an intergranular NiAl-Cr eutectic phase, produced by extrusion of a cast NiAl(Cr) alloy, has been examined. Chromium addition to create a dual phase NiAl-based aligned microstructure leads to large increases in the yield strength but no significant toughness improvement. This is achieved primarily by solid solution hardening and precipitation hardening. The constitutional hardening rate resulting from deviations from stoichiometry in the nickel-rich NiAl was estimated to be about 66 MPa per atomic per cent of nickel.
