The Effect Of Additive Ce ̄(4+) On The Properties Of Composite Coating Of Co-P-Ptfe, Jiaoning Tang, Ling Huang, Zhaoxong Xie, Shibing Yao, Shaoming Zhou

Journal of Electrochemistry

The effect of additive Ce4+ on the properties of composite coating of Co-P-PTFE was studied in this paper.The results show that additive Ce(4+) can change the structures and properties of Co-P-PTFE composite coating. First,the surface of the compoite coating becomes smooth and the microhardness of the composite coating increased.Secondly,additive Ce(4+) decreased the corrosion current lcorr of the composite coating in the solution of 3% NaCl and increased its property of anticorrosion.Finally additive Ce(4+) can affect preferred orientation and grain size of composite coating of Co-P-PTFE. Preferred orientation of the composite varies from(100)to(110)and the grain size decreased.

The Role Of Written And Verbal Expression In Improving Communication Skills For Students In An Undergraduate Chemistry Program, Brian P. Coppola, Douglas S. Daniels Aug 1996

The Role Of Written And Verbal Expression In Improving Communication Skills For Students In An Undergraduate Chemistry Program, Brian P. Coppola, Douglas S. Daniels

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Proofreading, editing, and critique, the customary assessment tools scientists use to evaluate professional journal articles, grant applications, and any other writing, can be applied equally well in introductory science instruction. Such feedback is, in fact, crucial to growth and development. When learning anything new, students and faculty alike rely heavily on sources other than themselves (‘external editors’) to assess their understanding as they develop self-assessment skills (or ‘internal editors’). Although they rarely describe it in these terms, faculty nonetheless assume that students have developed and refined their internal skills by the time they take examinations and write term papers. Unfortunately, …

Oxygen Charge Transfer Reaction At The Pt/Ysz Interface, Yi Jiang, Wenzhao Li, Jingwang Yan, Shizhong Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Oxygen Charge transfer reaction has been investigated by various degrees of potential polarization at the Pt/YSZ interface. Anodic and cathodic charge transfer coefficients were found to be unity over the wide range of oxygen partial pressures and temperatures. While the exchange current density of the interface was found dependent on the partial pressure of oxygen in accordance with the relation: i 0=2FK r(K O 2 P O 2 ) 1/4 (1+K O 2 P O 2 ) 1/2 . Several important parameters, such as electrochemical rate constant, equilibrium constant of oxygen adsorption on Pt surface had also been extracted.

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this paper, copper electrodepostion on HOPG had been in situ studied by using a homebuilt electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM). Three dimensional nucleation and subsequent growth of copper crystals were found as the initial stage of copper deposition on HOPG. In the case of lower overpotential or lower concentration of Cu 2+ , the bulk deposited copper layer tended to form smooth terraces, and grow at the edge of steps. The terraces were stable to some extent, which made it possible to be observed with atomic resolution. At a higher overpotential, the crystal size of copper were somehow smaller. …

The Auger resonant Raman effect can be used as a method to eliminate natural lifetime broadening in resonant Auger spectra. We have coupled this method with high-resolution photons from the Advanced Light Source to study angular distributions and decay rates of the Xe4d5/2→6p resonant Auger lines. The angular distribution parameters β of almost all possible final ionic 5p4(3P, 1D, 1S)6p states have been determined. Our data, which remove the discrepancy between previous lower-resolution experimental results, are compared to different theoretical results.

Study Of Electrochemical Behaviour Of Myoglobin Using Cyclic Voltammetry And Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Ju Chou, Haihong Zhou, Tianhong Lu, Yue Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Myoglobin undergoes irreversible heterogeneous electron transfer reactions at bare metal electroeds. Thus, much effort has been devoted to obtain quasi-reversible electrochemical reactions of myoglobin at metal electrodes modified with mediators ̄(1~3). However, the electron transfer rates at the above modified electrodes is very small so that the spectroelectrochemical techniques should be used in the most of studies. Recently, Taniguchi et al ̄[4]. reported that a quasi-reversible electrochemical reaction of the purified horse heart myoglobin was observed at an indium oxide electrode with cyclic voltammetry technique. It was suggested that high purification of myoglobin may be the main reason for obtaining a quasi-reversible …
