The results indicated: (1) Cl~- ion can increase cathodic polarization. (2) A twostep reaction mechanism corresponds to Cu~2+ reduction, that is: Cu~2+→Cu~+, Cu~+→Cu(adsorption)→Cu(lattice), Cu~2+ react in different forms of complex ion in sulfuric acidcupric sulfate solution with or without Cl~- ion. (3) cupric redution impedance shows dispersion effect in the solution that contains Cl~- ion.

Influences Of Ptfe On Electrochemical Properties Of FoamType Ni(Oh)_2 Electrodes, Zhen Zhou, Jie Yan, Xianyou Wang, Jinyuan Huatang Lin, Deying Song, Yunshi Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Research work was performed for the influences of PTFE on the electrochemical properties of foamtype Ni(OH)_2 electrodes by constant current discharge. CV and EIS method. Experimental results exhibit that the existence of PTFE would decrease the reversibility of electrode reaction and increase the reaction resistance of the electrode; thus lower the discharge potential and capacity, so PTFE should be added as little as possible during the preparation of pastetype electrodes.

Molecular Inclusion Of Cyclodextrin Polymer And Its Application To Enzyme Electrodes, Huihuang Wu, Baozhang Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The inclusion complexation of α-cyclodextin prepolymer host with benzoquinone guest was studied by voltametry. The spectroscopic measurements show that the polycondensation of CD with glutaric dialdehyde forms the polymer (PCD) with pending carbonyl, the latter brings about covalent immobilisation of glucose oxidase (GOD) to polymer chains. Owing to the inclusion complexation of CD, the benzoquinone(BQ) as mediator of GOD can be collected in the enzymecontaining PCD membrane, resulting in high concentration of BQ in the membrane while decreasing its amount in solution. TTF was tested to prepare the immobilised enzyme together with mediator in PCD. The enzyme loading in PCD …

Electrochemical Impedance Of Molten Salts Induced Hot Corrosion, Chaoliu Zeng, Weitao Wu, Jianqing Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrochemical impedance technique was employed to study corrosion behaviors of Ni-3Al, IN100 and IN738 alloys in molten (Na, K, Li)_2SO_4 at 700 ℃. The Nyquist plots for Ni-3Al and IN100 alloys have the characteristics of diffusioncontrolled reaction. But, the corrosion reaction for IN738 alloy is not controlled by the diffusion of oxidants. The equivalent circuits were proposed, and the parameters in circuits were also calculated. Ni-3Al and IN100 alloys suffer from catastrophic corrosion due to the formation of a porous corrosion layer. IN738 alloy has excellent corrosion resistance because of the formation of a protective oxide scale.

The cathodic reduction of oxygen is studied on porous carbonbased electrodes carrying platinumiron and/or cobalt alloy catalysts. Electrodes using such electrocatalysts, particularly when used as cathodes in acidic electrolytes, remain stable for longer periods. The cathodic polarization of oxygen reduction on such electrodes is 20 mV to 40 mV lower than that on the conventional electrode on which only platinum alone is used as an electrocatalysts. An accelerated aging test (AAT) is used to evaluate the corrosion resistance and sintering resistance of each catalyst.
