Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Study Of Scn - Adsorbed At The Copper And Gold Nanowire Arrays, Jianlin A Yao, Guoping Pan, Kuanhong Xue, Yong Xie, Jing Tang, Bin Ren, Dongmei Sun, Bingwei Mao, Zhongqun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

Two_dimensional arrays of Cu and Au nanowires have been fabricated by template synthesis method, using the anodic aluminum oxidation films as the template. The morphology of the nanowire array was monitored by atomic force microscope (AFM) in the dissolution processes of the alumina film. Based on the probe molecule strategy, the spectral feature of SCN - adsorbed at the Cu and Au nanowires with different diameters has been investigated by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The results reveal that the intensity of the SERS bands depends on the length of the exposed nanowires. The C≡N stretching vibration frequency (ν CN …


Study On Electrochemical Reduction Properties Of Nitrobenzene, Chuna Ma, Wenkui Zhang, Hui Huang, Yongping Gan Nov 1999

Study On Electrochemical Reduction Properties Of Nitrobenzene, Chuna Ma, Wenkui Zhang, Hui Huang, Yongping Gan

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrochemical reduction characteristics of nitrobenzene was extensively investigated by using the techniques such as quasi_steady_state polarization,cyclic voltammetry,fast linear potential sweep method and chronoamperometry in this paper.The electroanalytic properties of Cu,Cu_Hg and Cu_Ni electrodes were evaluated.Based on the study of the transient steping behaviour of nitrobenzene to PAP,the reduction mechanism was discussed.The results showed that the transition steps existed on the electrochemical reduction of nitrobenzene in acidic solution,the reactant is also absorbed on electrodes surface. The control step in the reduction of nitrobenzene was ascribed to the diffusion of nitrobenzene and its electrochemical reductive products in the acid solution.


A Novel Reaction Region Moving Electrode System For Electrochemical Power Sources, Jinkua You, Que Tu, Zhengjian Wang, Jie Sun, Zugeng Lin Nov 1999

A Novel Reaction Region Moving Electrode System For Electrochemical Power Sources, Jinkua You, Que Tu, Zhengjian Wang, Jie Sun, Zugeng Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

In most of practical rechargeable batteries, charging/discharging process is always concerned with phase_transformation in the solid state. Due to the irreversibility of the phase_transformation, the cyclic performance of the rechargeable batteries are limited. In this paper, a novel reaction_region moving counter electrode system is constructed in our laboratory. The electrode system is operated at room temperature and cycled in solid_liquid phase during charging/discharging processes. With this electrode, the metal_complexes are firstly deposited(i.e. charging process) on the nearest working electrode and gradually extended to those another working electrodes several centimeters away from the counter electrode. The deposite is dissolved again into …

Photoelectrochemical Studies On The Tio_2 Nanostructured Porous Film Sensitized By Cyanine Dye, Li Zhang, Maizhi Yang, Xuebin Qiao, Yanzhong Hao, Enqing Gao, Shengmin Cai Nov 1999

Photoelectrochemical Studies On The Tio_2 Nanostructured Porous Film Sensitized By Cyanine Dye, Li Zhang, Maizhi Yang, Xuebin Qiao, Yanzhong Hao, Enqing Gao, Shengmin Cai

Journal of Electrochemistry

The photoelectrochemical behaviors of the TiO 2 nanostructured porous film sensitized by cyanine dye were investigated in this paper.The results showed that the excitaed state level matched the conduction band edge of TiO 2 nanoparticle.Therefore the sensitization of the dye can increase the photocurrent intensity of the TiO 2 nanostructured electrode obviously and results in a red-shift of optical absorption from the ultra_violet region to the visible.As a result,the light_to _electricity conversion efficiency was improved evidently,the maximum value of IPCE has reached 12.1%.


Investigation Of Sodium Hypophosphite Anodic Oxidizing Behavior In The Process Of Acid Electroless Nickel Deposition, Meiyuan Wang, Yafei Kuang, Yan Xu Nov 1999

Investigation Of Sodium Hypophosphite Anodic Oxidizing Behavior In The Process Of Acid Electroless Nickel Deposition, Meiyuan Wang, Yafei Kuang, Yan Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The anodic oxidizing behavior of sodium hypophosphite in the process of electroless nickle deposition(pH=5.5) was investigated with the linear potential sweep method and alternating current impedance.The results indicated that,the oxidation of NaH 2PO 2 was a complicated electrochemical process and affected by the concentration of NaH 2PO 2, the temperature of the bath,the sweep rate and the existence of nickel ion. The NaH 2PO 2 electrooxidation reaction was very likely preceded by heterogeneous interface transformation process,which might be the control step of the whole anodic process.

A Gas Analysis Method For Determining The Perchlorate Current Efficiency And Other Applications, Zhigang Shao, Baolian Yi

Journal of Electrochemistry

A method for determining the current efficiency by means of measuring the flow capacity of the cell gas in a perchlorate cell has been proposed. The perchlorate cell system was equipped with an oxygen cathode or a Na + ion exchange membrane. This method is simple and convenient as well as accurate in the evaluation of the perchlorate current efficiency in the perchlorate cell as compared with the traditional methods of analysis. It is useful in the investigation of electrochemical problems with high perchlorate concentration,as well as for the assessment of electrocatalytic performance of anode materials.With an oxygen cathode in …
