Effect Of 18-Crown-6 Additive On Chromium Electrodeposition In Ionic Liquid, Yi-Jie Wang, Dong-Fang Niu, Xin-Sheng Zhang Dec 2020

Effect Of 18-Crown-6 Additive On Chromium Electrodeposition In Ionic Liquid, Yi-Jie Wang, Dong-Fang Niu, Xin-Sheng Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Trivalent chromium ion (Cr3+) is used for electrodeposition due to its low toxicity. Electrodeposition in ionic liquids can greatly solve for hydrogen evolution problem. However,as a widely used Cr(III) precursor, chromium chloride hydrate (CrCl3·6H2O), still contains water. In the presence of water, Cr3+ will form a complex coordination structure with water molecules ([Cr(H2O)6]3+), which is a stable octahedral structure and is difficult to be directly reduced to chromium metal. Therefore, coordination agents should be added into the bath. In this work, the effect of 18-Crown-6 additive on chromium electrodeposition was investigated in …

Key Factors And Techno-Economic Analyses Of Manganese Electrolysis Process, Gui-Mei Han, Fu-Yuan Xu, Lin-Hua Jiang, Zhi-Gang Dan, Xiao-Juan Gao, Ning Duan

Journal of Electrochemistry

This paper first studied the key factors affecting the initial manganese electrolysis process, including concentration of Mn2+, electrolysis time, overpotential, and then optimized these processing parameters with the chronocoulometry method under a three-electrode system. The results showed that, during the initial manganese electrolysis process, hydrogen evolution occurred more significantly on the stainless steel surface. As electrolysis process continued, manganese covered the stainless steel surface gradually, and hydrogen evolution reaction restrained which all contributed to the higher current efficiency. Besides, the limiting current density appeared at high overpotential region, and the reaction was controlled by diffusion process. In 0.02 …

Passivation Behavior Of Aluminum Alloy During Electrochemical Machining And Its Effects On The Machining Performance, Li-Min Jiang, Wen-Bo Deng, Jun-Long Ying

Journal of Electrochemistry

The passivation behavior of aluminum alloy during electrochemical machining was investigated and discussed. The effects of processing voltage, current density, space of electrodes and electrolyte composition on electrochemical machining performance were explored. The results indicate that the electrochemical machining aluminum alloy in the composite electrolyte system containing NaNO3 and NaF existed passivation phenomenon. Passivation action decreaseed the current efficiency and made it varied greatly with the current density. Also the passivation shifted the interspace characteristic curve of electrode notably to a negative direction. There was not passivation phenomenon in the composite electrolyte system containing the same concentrations of NaCl …

Journal of Electrochemistry

Using SBS-g-(AA/StSO3Na)/SBS-g-DMAEMA Bipolar Membrane as a separator between the cathode and anode chambers in the electrolysis cell,the optimum conditions of deoxidization of oxygen in cathode were obtained through orthogonal experiment. Then using tungstate/pertungstate as media to indirect electrooxidate hydrophobic monascus red colorant to prepare hydrophobic monascus yellow colorant in cathode. The experiment results show the average current efficiency of cathode was up to 72.39% under the following conditions:that graphite as electrode,10% sulfuric acid as anode electrolyte,0.5 g·L-1 hydrophobic monascus red colorant solution as cathode electrolyte,tungstate concentration:15 mmol/L,pH:3,flow rate of oxygen:65 cm3/min,electrolyze 2 h under the current density of 5.78 mA·cm-2. …

Journal of Electrochemistry

Various Ti/IrRuSn,Ti/IrTa/IrRuSn and Ti/IrTaSn/IrRuSn oxide electrodes were prepared by sol-gel method.The surface morphology and microstructure were analysed with FESEM and XRD.The electrochemical activity and stability were investigated using electrochemical technologies including chlorine and oxygen evolving potential measurements,cyclic voltammetry,accelerated life test,and alternative electrolysis.The results indicate that the electrodes with interlayers present more cracks on the surface and a little bigger average grain size,with particles of different shapes precipitated in the cracks.The electroactive sites are increased and the selectivity for the chlorine evolving reaction is enhanced,but the current efficiency for the chlorine production is somewhat lowered by the addition of different interlayers.The …

Studies On The Cathodic Current Efficiency In The Electrodeposition Ni Psz Gradient Coating, Jun Li, Dianlong Wang, Li Chen, Xinguo Hu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The cathodic current efficiency and the electrochemical behavior in electrodeposition Ni PSZ gradient coating were investigated by various electrochemical techniques and scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the Ni PSZ composite coatings can accelerate evolution of hydrogen with the increase of PSZ content. The overpotential of nickel reduction will be increased and that of hydrogen reaction will be reduced in the presence of PSZ particles in electrolyte. The effect of PSZ particles on nickel electrodeposition was preferentially to catalyze the formation of H ads . These all contributed to the lower current efficiency.
