Studies Of Abnormal Infrared Effects Of Nanometer Thin Films Of Transition Metals And Alloys In Acid Solutions, Shi-Gang Sun, Ming-Sen Zheng, Guo-Qiang Lu, Li-Rong Cai, Sheng-Pei Cehn, Xiao-Yin Xiao

Journal of Electrochemistry

The adsorption of CO on electrodes of nanometer thin films of transition metals (Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru) and alloys (PtPd, PtRu) prepared under cyclic voltammetric conditions has been studied by in situ FTIR spectroscopy. The abnormal infrared effects (AIREs) have been explored as a novel and general phenomenon. The AIREs consist mainly in the inversion of the direction of IR band and the significant enhancement of IR absorption by adsorbed CO species. It was revealed that the enhanced IR absoroption of adsorbed species in AIREs depends strongly on the nature of metal or alloy, and on the structure and the …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The photoelectrochemical behaviors of the TiO2 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 TiO2 nanoparticle. Therefore the sensitization of the dye can increase the photocurrent intensity of the TiO2 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%.

Journal of Electrochemistry

Li2+xGdxSi1-xO3(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 Gd2O3 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.

Study On The Hydrophilicity Of Nafion Membrane Surface, Yanbing Zu, Chuansin Cha Feb 1997

Study On The Hydrophilicity Of Nafion Membrane Surface, Yanbing Zu, Chuansin Cha

Journal of Electrochemistry

Due to its high chemical stability and ion selective permeability, Nafion membrane has been applied in many electrochemical systems. The surface hydrophilicity is one of the main factors affecting its performance. In this paper, the bound bubble method is introduced as a suitable way to measure the contact angles between Nafion membrane and various aqueous solutions. During the measurement, Nafion membrane is saturated with given electrolyt solution. The hysteresis of the contact angles observed in the measurement is attributed to the co existance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains at the membrane surface.
