Study On The Preparetion And Electrochemical Beavior Of Nitrogen Doped Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon Electrode, Ke Liu Aug 2006

Study On The Preparetion And Electrochemical Beavior Of Nitrogen Doped Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon Electrode, Ke Liu

Journal of Electrochemistry

taC∶N films are a good materials for semiconductor electrodes.But further studies are hampered by the ohmic contact problem,which occurs between the silicon and the lead.By studying the influence of heat treatment on the film's property,it is believed that ohmic contact should be made on the silicon first,and then the film be deposited.A set of taC∶N electrodes with various nitrogen content have been prepared.CV study indicates that the cathodic limits move slowly to positive direction.while the anodic limits are unchanged with the increasing of nitrogen content.As a result,the electrochemical windows get narrow either.

Study On The Microstructure Of Pb-Sn Alloy Obtained From Quasi-Two-Dimensional Electrodeposition, Bin Sun Aug 2006

Study On The Microstructure Of Pb-Sn Alloy Obtained From Quasi-Two-Dimensional Electrodeposition, Bin Sun

Journal of Electrochemistry

A two-layered structure of eutectic-solid sulotion is formed in the microstructure of Pb-Sn alloy obtained from quasi-two-dimensional electrodeposition.It is showed that this unique structure is caused by the variation of the current density on the growth interface.When the interface is located in the front of the whole deposits,the current density is high.So the Pb and Sn can deposit together and the eutectic texture forms.When the interface is in the rear of the whole deposits,the current density is low.At this moment the electrodeposition of Pb is the dominant reaction,and the Pb-based solid solution appears.

Journal of Electrochemistry

Au_(core)Pt_(shell)nanoparticles with different thicknesses were prepared by using chemical reduction method,and characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis),transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and cyclic voltammetry(CV).The electrocatalytic activity of Au_(core)Pt_(shell)nanoparticles with the mean diameter of 70~80 nm to methanol oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in the acid solution.The results revealed that the prepared core-shell nanoparticles were covered by Pt shell and exhibited the similar optical property and electrocatalytic activity with the normal Pt surface.Moreover,the electrocatalytic activity increased with the electrochemical sweep in the certain potential range.It might be contributed by the special loose structure of Pt shell rather than the increase of the real area.
