Journal of Electrochemistry

Porous silicon with micrometer size pores, which is made on n + Si by photoelectrochemically etched, has electroluminescent property. Each monochromic intensity and wavelength range of luminescent spectra depend on polarized potential. The intersity and the stability of cathodic electroluminescence is high than those of anodic one. Voltammetric behavior before quenching indicated that the electrochemical reactions of some surface species are involved in except the reduction of S 2O 2- 8, which leads to radiative recombination. The energy band diagram based on n + Si (E g=1.1 eV)/PS(E g=1.8 eV) junction is proposed.

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electronic properties of the passive film on REBAR electrodes in simulatedcement pore solution(pH=9.0~13.8)have been investigated using in-situ photoelectrochemicalmethods.The results show that the passive film is composed of mixed oxides of ferrum ,and it is anamorphous,n-type semiconductive film. Variations of pH values,ions in the solution and film-formation potentials can affect the composition of the films. There are two main stages in the growthof the film,with two rate functions characterized by linear relation between the film thickness and thelogarithm of time.The addition of inhibitor NaNO_2 changes the composition,structure and growthkinetics of the film,and therefore improves the resistance of pitting corrosion induced …

Photoelectrochemical And Spectroelectrochemical Studies Oniron Oxide Ultrafine Particles, Maizhi Yang, Yongjun Ji, Wen Zhang, Shengmin Cai

Journal of Electrochemistry

in this paper, Raman spectra, photocurrent and the UV-VIS reflectance aremeasured for studying the α-Fe_2O_3ultrafine particles adsorbed on Pt electrode. The blue shifts ofRaman peaks demonstrate the size quantization effect for the particles of 50 nm in diameter ascompared with the bulk material. With the changing of the potential , the photocurrent decrcases as theUV-VIS reflectance increases, and vice-versa. Therefore, the potential not only affects the hargetransfer direcdtion in the interface of electrede/redox couple, but also influences the light absortion onthe surface of particles.According to the results of photoelectrochemistry, we suggest that the cathedicphotocurrent in the potential range of more …
