Coadsorption Of Para-Toluene Sulfamide And 1.4-Butynediol At Mercury Electrode, Shukun Huang, Naixian Xie, De Gao, Qiang Liu Aug 1995

Coadsorption Of Para-Toluene Sulfamide And 1.4-Butynediol At Mercury Electrode, Shukun Huang, Naixian Xie, De Gao, Qiang Liu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The coadsorption characteristics of para-toluene sulfamide and 1,4-butynediol atmercury electrode have been studied by means of electrocapillary curve, differential capacity curve, Stuart model and the SCFMO method (CNDO/2). The coadsorption is a physical adsorption occuringnaturally. Lateral and flat orientations in the two adsorbates close to their maximum adsorptionpotential were considered respectively. Unlike attractive interactions of their own, there was arepulsive interaction at their coadsorption layer. A preferred adsorption of 1,4-butynediol occurred when they were at the same volume concentration.

The Photoelectrochemical Studies Of Passive Films On Rebar Electrodes In Simulated Cement Pore Solution, Wei Chu, Yuanxiang Shi, Baoming Wei, Yong Yang, Xuguang Chen, Zugeng Lin

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 photoelectrochemical methods. The results show that the passive film is composed of mixed oxides of ferrum, and it is an amorphous, 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 NaNO2 changes the composition, structure and growth …

Properties Of Zr-Based Laves Phase Hydrogen Storage Electrode, Xueping Gao, Huabin Yang, Deying Song, Yunshi Zhang, Zuoxiang Zhou, Wei Zhang, Panwen Shen

Journal of Electrochemistry

After treated by HF solution,the surface of Zr(V0.2Mn0.2Ni0.54Mo0.06)2.4 alloy was transformed from Zr-rich and Mn-rich layer to Ni-rich layer. In this way, the nickel on thesurface could be believed to be the Raney-type nickel, which could obviously shorten the activation cycles, improve electrocatalytic activity and hydrogen adsorption ability. In this paper, the reaction mechanism on the alloy surface (i.e. the mechanism of nickel-catalysis, hydrogen-adsorption and hydrogen-transference) had been investigated. And the impedance spectra were fitted to an equivalentcircuit using a non-linear, least-squares (NLLS) fitting program.

Influence Of Cr And W Alloying On The Fiber-Matrix Interfacial Shear-Strength In Cast And Directionally Solidified Sapphire Nial Composites, R. Asthana, R. Tiwari, Surendra N. Tewari

Chemical & Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Sapphire-reinforced NiAl matrix composites with chromium or tungsten as alloying additions were synthesized using casting and zone directional solidification (DS) techniques and characterized by a fiber pushout test as well as by microhardness measurements. The sapphire-NiAl(Cr) specimens exhibited an interlayer of Cr rich eutectic at the fiber-matrix interface and a higher interfacial shear strength compared to unalloyed sapphire-NiAl specimens processed under identical conditions. In contrast, the sapphire-NiAl(W) specimens did not show interfacial excess of tungsten rich phases, although the interfacial shear strength was high and comparable to that of sapphire-NiAl(Cr). The postdebond sliding stress was higher in sapphire-NiAl(Cr) than in …

Comparison Of Time-Domain Reflectometry Performance Factors For Several Dielectric Geometries: Theory And Experiments, S. V. Maheshwarla, R. Venkatasubramanian, Robert F. Boehm Aug 1995

Comparison Of Time-Domain Reflectometry Performance Factors For Several Dielectric Geometries: Theory And Experiments, S. V. Maheshwarla, R. Venkatasubramanian, Robert F. Boehm

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

We propose three nontraditional dielectric geometries and present an experimental and theoretical analysis and comparison of time domain reflectometry (TDR) performances for them. The traditional geometry (the probes inserted in material of essentially infinite extent) is compared to three nontraditional geometries where the probes are affixed outside of a core sample, inside of a bore, or flat on the surface of a semi-infinite solid. Our derivation relates the velocity of electromagnetic wave propagation to the complex permittivities and permeabilities of the media and the geometry for the three nontraditional configurations. Experimental results for air, styrofoam, dry sand, wet sand of …

Phonon And Magnetic Neutron Scattering At 41 Mev In Yba2cu3o7, Hung Fai Fong, Bernard Keimer, Pw Anderson, D. Reznik, Fatih Dogan, Ilhan A. Aksay Jul 1995

Phonon And Magnetic Neutron Scattering At 41 Mev In Yba2cu3o7, Hung Fai Fong, Bernard Keimer, Pw Anderson, D. Reznik, Fatih Dogan, Ilhan A. Aksay

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements at excitation energies ħ⁢w∼41 meV in YBa2Cu3O7. We separate magnetic and phonon contributions to the scattering cross section by a detailed analysis of the momentum dependence of the scattered intensity. The previously reported broad peak around q = (π/a,π/a) in the normal state can be entirely accounted for by a phonon which primarily involves vibrations of the in-plane oxygen. Magnetic scattering centered around 41 meV and q = (π/a,π/a) appears in the superconducting state only. Theoretical implications of …

Photoelectrochemical And Spectroelectrochemical Studies Oniron Oxide Ultrafine Particles, Maizhi Yang, Yongjun Ji, Wen Zhang, Shengmin Cai, Xiaojiang Lu, Zhongqun Tian, Jin Luo

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this paper, Raman spectra, photocurrent and the UV-VIS reflectance aremeasured for studying the α-Fe2O3 ultrafine particles adsorbed on Pt electrode. The blue shifts of Raman 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 the UV-VIS reflectance increases, and vice-versa. Therefore, the potential not only affects the hargetransfer direcdtion in the interface of electrode/redox couple, but also influences the light absortion onthe surface of particles. According to the results of photoelectrochemistry, we suggest that the cathodic …
