Preparation And Ionic Conductivity Of Nanometer_Sized Li 2+X Gd X Si 1+X O 3 By The Sol_Gel Method, Rufen Chen, Xiuqin Song, Huating Liu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Li 2+x Gd xSi 1-x O 3( x =0~0.15) samples have been prepared by the Sol_Gel method. The power samples were characterized by DTA_TG, XRD and TEM. Ionic conductivity of the sinter was determined by means of A_C impedance measurements. The experimental results showed that the range of solid_solution was 0< x ≤0.09, while the conductivity of samples raised with increasing amount of Gd 2O 3 added, and average grain size of samples was 80 nm. In comparing with the samples by the conventional solid state reaction, the samples prepared by Sol_Gel method required lower temperature and presented higher ionic conductivity.

Influence Of Ptfe And Nafion On The Utilizationefficiency Of Pt/C Catalyst In Pemfc, Xiaoliang Cheng, Baolian Yi, Jingxin Zhang, Ming Han, Yaguang Qiao

Journal of Electrochemistry

With cycling voltammetry curve(C-V), TEM and SEM photographs, the influence of PTFE and Nafion on the platinum utilization in catalyst layer of PEMFC was investigated. The results show that in gas diffusion electrode, the blocking effect of PTFE in the platinum utilization is not pronunced. In the thin_film catalyst layer, the electron conduct of the catalyst was blocked by the nafion solid and this caused the decrease of platinum utilization. With the increase of the nafion content in the catalyst layer, both platinum utilization and the electron conductivity decreased in the catalyst layer. Because the molecule size of nafion is …

A Study On The Cathode Protection Potential Against Pitting Corrosion, Chunchun Xu, Youping Liu, Xiaobo Zhang, Xuhui Zhao

Journal of Electrochemistry

The methods have been developed to determine the protection potential against pitting corrosion. They are based on the theory that the pitting protection potential(Ep) is actually the transition potential of the direction of current between the occluded cell and the external surface (ET).ET lasts from -220 mV to -440 mV(SCE), the lowest of which can be considered as cathode protection potential. The Ep values determined with cyclic potentiodynamic polarization method is included in the ET with above methods.

The Influence Of Heat On The Measurement Of Photocurrent At The Anodic Film Of Nickel Electrode, Hang Chen, Zhiyu Jiang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The influence of heat on the measurement of photocurrent for nickel electrode in 1 mol/L NaOH solution was investigated by using the photocurrent,photothermal and thermal current methods. It was found that the appearance of photocurrent in potential region of -0.750.20 V(vs. Hg/HgO electrode) was due to the p_type semiconductor properties of Ni(OH)2 film in which is agree with the previous report. In the Ni(OH)2/NiOOH redox potential region, the increase of temperature at the surface of working electrode during irradiation significantly promoted the electrochemical reaction strongly. The photocurrent observed in potential region 0.200.57 V is mainly attributed to the influence of …

Journal of Electrochemistry

Some effects of Co addition upon the electrochromic characteristics of a nic_kel hydroxide film were studied. The films were electrodeposited on both polished Ni plate and conductive ITO glass. The electrochemical behaviors were investigated using the film on Ni plate by linear potential sweep, a.c. impedance, and anodic polarization curves for OER(oxygen evolution reaction). It was found that Co can lower the working voltage and raise the oxygen overpotential, but has little effect on the reaction kinetics. It was also found that the Co can improve the optical properties of the electrochromic film.
