Progress In Research For Biofuel Cell, Yue Bao, Xia-Qin Wu Feb 2004

Progress In Research For Biofuel Cell, Yue Bao, Xia-Qin Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this article, research progresses of the biofuel cell in recent years were summarized. The operation principle and classification of the biofuel cells were described. The role of the mediator for promoting electron transfer in biofuel cells and the techniques for improving the electric properties of biofuel cells, such as output potential, were discussed with some attracting research instances. Finally, the choke points for research of biofuel cell were explored, and the application prospect of biofuel cells was forecasted.


Studies On The Mechanism Of Electroreduction Of Oxalic Acid, Yu Zhan Li, Xin Liu, Rui Sheng Hu, Deng Ping Gu Feb 2004

Studies On The Mechanism Of Electroreduction Of Oxalic Acid, Yu Zhan Li, Xin Liu, Rui Sheng Hu, Deng Ping Gu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electroreduction mechanism of oxalic acid on Pb electrode in Na_2SO_4 solution were investigated using high scan rate cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The dynamic parameters for the first step electron transter reaction of oxalic acid electroreduction by were determined. The corresponding reduction peak potentials of oxalic acid, glyoxylic acid and glycolic acid in the cyclic voltammogranis obtained in the same condition were compared, and the intermediate reduction products of oxalic acid were suggested. The results showed that oxalic acid is weakly absorbed on the lead electrode.

The Interaction In Doping Lithium Of Carbonaneous Anode In Lithium Ion Battery, Chang-Guo Chen, Hong-Min Zhang, Jia Chen, Dan-Mei Yu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The quantum chemical DV-X_α method was used to calculate the lithium-doped models from one-Li-dopant to LiC_6 and LiC_2. It was found that Li~+ has an tendency to attract electrons from the carbon plane through the C_6 hexagons lying above or below it by the graph of charge-density difference. It was shown that LiC_6 can exist steadily,while LiC_2 can not exist steadily.

Study On Determination Of Iodine Ion At Chitosan Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode, Bin Liu, Xiang-Ying Sun, Jin-Rui Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this paper, a chitosan modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared by the method of covalent-bond reaction, and the anodic stripping voltammetric characteristics of iodine on the modified electrode was studied. The results showed that the modified electrode has higher adsorption and selectivity for I~-, and the sensitivity for I~- has been much improved in 0.1 mol·L~(-1) KH_2PO_4 solution (pH=4.0). The anodic stripping peak current of I~- on the modified electrode varied linearly with I~- concentration in the range of 2.0×10~(-6)~2.0×10~(-3) mol·L~(-1), and the detection limit reached 2.0×10~(-7) mol·L~(-1).

Electrochemical Character Of Water Containing Gel Electrolyte And Its Preliminary Examination In Lithium Water Cell, Jing-Dong Liu, Wen-Ji Wang, Xin-Zheng Yi

Journal of Electrochemistry

AC impedance technique has been used to characterize the system of poly(methyl acrylic acid )-poly(methyl acrylic lithiumate )-glycerol (referred to as GPE ) .The results showed that the conductivity of GPE increased with increasing both temperature and its water content .The glass transition temperature of GPE polymer could be lowered by water .Its conducting characteristic was just like liquid electrolyte ,The electrolysis of GPE was almost the same as the electrolysis of water .Its composition voltage was about 1.50V .The GPE has been used to manufacture lithium water cell. When the graphite was used as cathode, the cell could discharge …


Excimer Emission From Cathode Boundary Layer Discharges, Mohamed Moselhy, Karl H. Schoenbach Jan 2004

Excimer Emission From Cathode Boundary Layer Discharges, Mohamed Moselhy, Karl H. Schoenbach

Bioelectrics Publications

The excimer emission from direct current glow discharges between a planar cathode and a ring-shaped anode of 0.75 and 1.5 mm diameter, respectively, separated by a gap of 250 μm, was studied in xenon and argon in a pressure range from 75 to 760 Torr. The thickness of the “cathode boundary layer” plasma, in the 100 μm range, and a discharge sustaining voltage of approximately 200 V, indicates that the discharge is restricted to the cathode fall and the negative glow. The radiant excimer emittance at 172 nm increases with pressure and reaches a value of 4 W/cm2 for …
