Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectra Of Cytosine Adsorbed On A Roughened Gold Electrode, Yuan-Fei Wu, Jian-Feng Li, De-Yin Wu, Bin Ren, Zhong-Qun Tian Aug 2005

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectra Of Cytosine Adsorbed On A Roughened Gold Electrode, Yuan-Fei Wu, Jian-Feng Li, De-Yin Wu, Bin Ren, Zhong-Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

Cytosine adsorbed on a roughened gold electrode has been investigated by using electrochemical cyclic voltammetry and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The results indicate that cytosine was adsorbed on the Au electrode in a perpendicular orientation via the N3 position. As the maximum enhancement of ring breathing mode appears at negative potentials compared with other modes, both the electromagnetic enhancement and the charge transfer mechanism were considered to contribute to the SERS intensity. The binding interaction between cytosine and the gold electrode was weakened when the potential was negatively moved. The result also indicates that the SERS technique can be used …


The Application Of Astm C1202-93 On Evaluating The Performance Of Anti-Corrosion Of Concrete, Yuan Chen Yuan Aug 2005

The Application Of Astm C1202-93 On Evaluating The Performance Of Anti-Corrosion Of Concrete, Yuan Chen Yuan

Journal of Electrochemistry

The test of chloride ion penetration based on the standards of ASTM C1202-93 is applied to evaluate the anti-corrosion performance of concrete in this research. Concrete specimens were produced according to ACI 318-89 mixture proportioning design and the Desenfied Mixture Design Algorithm (DMDA) and were measured the 6-hour coulombs at the age of 91 days. Results show that w/b is not the factor influencing chloride penetration of ACI concrete, as the ion penetration of ACI specimens is all higher than 2 000 Coulombs and can even be poorer than 10 000 Coulombs. With a proper amount of pozzolanic material, the …


Cyclic Voltammetry And Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Of Dissociative Adsorption Of Ethanol On Pt-Ru Electrodes, Zhang Bin Aug 2005

Cyclic Voltammetry And Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Of Dissociative Adsorption Of Ethanol On Pt-Ru Electrodes, Zhang Bin

Journal of Electrochemistry

The behaviors of dissociative adsorption of ethanol on roughened platinum-ruthenium electrode with high activity of SERS were studied by using cyclic voltammetry and in-situ surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman spectra of dissociative adsorption of ethanol on Pt electrode in acid was obtained for the first time. It is shown that the Pt-Ru could lower the over-potential of CO oxidation when compared to Pt electrode. The results show that the ethanol in acid medium can be self-dissociated at Pt-Ru electrode to produce CO, which discourage the further oxidation of ethanol, some information of Pt-C and Pt-C-Pt stretching vibration from …


Investigation, On The Accelerated Dissolution Of Metal Induced By Afm Tip Scratching And Suppressed By Inhibitors, Jun-E Qu, Xing-Peng Guo Aug 2005

Investigation, On The Accelerated Dissolution Of Metal Induced By Afm Tip Scratching And Suppressed By Inhibitors, Jun-E Qu, Xing-Peng Guo

Journal of Electrochemistry

The accelerated dissolution behavior of Cu-Ni alloy induced by AFM tip scratching and the inhibition effect of corrosion inhibitors were investigated. The results showedthat, with a tip loading of 750nN ,continuous scan for 30 min in a contact mode on 4×4 μm~(2) of copper-nickel alloy in 1.5mol/L NaCl and 0.01mol/L HCl could enhance the dissolution of the sample and produced pits on the scratched area. Adding inorganic inhibitors, sodium chromateand organic inhibitor dodecylamine, to the solution suppressed the dissolution of copper-nickel alloyinduced by tip scratching, respectively, by improving the surface passivationperformance of metal surface and forming adsorption films on copper-nickel …


Electrochemical Behavior And Determination Of Curcumin, Ping Wu, Wei Chen, Ya-Feng Zhang, Xin-Hua Lin Aug 2005

Electrochemical Behavior And Determination Of Curcumin, Ping Wu, Wei Chen, Ya-Feng Zhang, Xin-Hua Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

In 0.1mol/L phosphate buffer solution (pH 3.0), the voltammetry behaviors of curcumin at a glassy carbon electrode have been studied.One pair of current peaks of the voltammogram may be attributed to a reversible one-electron transfer of curcumin molecules at the glassy carbon electrode.A new method, the differential pulse voltammetry,for curcumin determination is described. The adsorptive potential of curcumin is (+0.8) V(vs. SCE),while its peak potential of curcumin is +0.386V(vs. SCE).The peak current is proportional to the concentration of curcumin over the rage of 1.0×10~(-8)mol/L ~2.5×10~(-7)mol/L.A detection limit of 4.0×10~(-9)mol/Lof curcumin can be estimated. The method is simple, rapid, sensitive and …
