Study Of Electrochemical Lithium Intercalation Performance Of Ni_(0.67)Mg_(0.33)O, Zhen-Cai Huang, Mao-Hui Chen, Guo-Tao Wu, Jin-Kua You, Zu-Geng Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

In the present work, Ni0.67Mg0.33O and NiO were produced by sol_gel method, and characterized by XRD, a rietveld refinement and the discharge/charge test.It was found that the magnesium_doping restrained the reduction of Ni and decreased the reversible capacity for the sample of Ni0.67Mg0.33O. But the formation of the solid solution after the magnesium_doping facilitated the high dispersion of NiO, and accordingly improved the electrochemical performance.

Journal of Electrochemistry

Cadmium p_toluenesulfonate was synthesized and tested electrochemically for the first time. This salt can lose all the hydrated water easily and the dehydrated salt do not deliquesce in the air.Hence,the cadmium p_toluenesulfonate is suitable for the electrochemical studies in organic solvents.When the Cd(Ⅱ) reduced on Pt electrode in Cd(pCH3C6H4SO3)2+TBAP+DMSO, underpotential deposition of cadmium occurred at first, and then cadmium deposited. 4_Methyl_7_hydroxylcoumarin and 3_aminocoumarin coordinate with Cd(Ⅱ) respectively, as a result the reductive potentials of Cd(Ⅱ) moved to the negative direction.
