Journal of Electrochemistry
Porous silicon with micrometer size pores, which is made on n+-Si by photoelectrochemically etched, has electroluminescent property. Each monochromic intensity and wavelength range of luminescent spectra depend on polarized potential. The intersity and the stability of cathodic electroluminescence is high than those of anodic one.

Study Of The Nature Of Formic Acid Adsorbates On Rough Pt And Its Interaction With Co, Xinhua Xia, Iwasita T., Vielstich W.
Journal of Electrochemistry
The nature of formic acid adsorbates formed on porous platinum electrode has been studied by in-situ infrared reflectance spectroscopic (FTIR) and differential electrochemical mass spectroscopic (DEMS) techniques. By carefully avoiding the contamination of the environment (i.e ., air) voltammetric experiments show that the oxidation of formic acid adsorbates depends on both adsorption potential and adsorption time. The online DEMS results show furthermore that the number of electrons necessary for the formation of one molecule of CO2 from adsorbed formic acid is independent of the adsorption potential. Its value of 2.2 demonstrates that the composition of formic acid adsorbates is …
