Journal of Electrochemistry
The Mg-Li electrodes containing 8.5% and 14% Li were prepared using an induction melting method. Their electrochemical behavior in NaCl solution was investigated by means of potentiodynamic polarization, potentiostatic oxidation,electrochemical impedance technique and mass-loss measurements. The morphology of the electrodes after discharge was examined using scanning electron microscopy. The Mg-14Li electrode showed more negative open circuit potential and higher discharge current density than Mg-8.5Li electrode. The oxidation products of Mg-14Li loosely attached on the electrode surface and peeled off easily. The Mg-8.5Li exhibited higher utilization efficiency. Both electrodes gave higher utilization efficiencies when discharged at lower anodic potential.

Journal of Electrochemistry
The influence of nano-Al2O3 particles in nickel electro-deposition on copper matrix from acid sulphate solution was studied under various potentials by using cyclic voltammetry(CV) and chronoamperometry(CA).The results show that the beginning potential of electro-deposition was about-740 mV(vs.SCE) for Ni-Al2O3 solution system.With the step-potential moving to the negative direction,the nucleation time of electro-deposition for Ni-Al2O3 solution system was shortened gradually.Compared with that of pure Ni deposition system,the nucleation time tm,corresponding to the peak current of Ni-Al2O3 deposition system was apparently shortened under the lower step-potential:-740~-830 mV,which indicates that Al …
