New Alkaline Copper Electroplating Bath Based on an Inorganic Complexing Agent

Cyclopentanone thiosemicarbazone, a new complexing agent for copper determination in biological samples by adsorptive stripping voltammetry.

A selective and sensitive stripping voltammetric method for the determination of trace amounts of copper(II) with cyclopentanone thiosemicarbazone (CPTSC) is presented. The method is based on the adsorptive accumulation of the resulting copper-CPTSC complex on a hanging mercury drop electrode, followed by the stripping voltammetric measurements at the reduction current of the adsorbed complex a...

Microstructural Study of the Effect of Chloride Ion on Electroplating of Copper in Cupric Sulfate-Sulfuric Acid Bath

The purpose of this work is to study the electrocrystallization behavior of the copper deposit on pure titanium substrate. The electroplating was conducted at 0.7 A/cm2, 65°C in cupric sulfate-sulfuric acid bath with various chloride additions 45-350 ppm . Initial growth morphology and microstructure of the deposit were examined with a field-emission scanning electron microscope FESEM and a hig...

Determination of Copper Content of Human Blood Plasma by an Ion Selective Electrode based on a New Copper-Selectophore

A new selectophore was introduced for Cu2+ ions. Spectroscopic studies showed a selectivity of a new organic compound (L) toward copper ions and several transitional metal ions. Hence, L was utilized in designing several ion selective electrodes for these cations. In practice, Cu2+ ion selective electrode behaved Nernstian (slope of 27.95±0.3 mV decade-1) over a...

An improved method of water electrolysis – effect of complexing agent

The present work investigates the efficiency of an alkaline water electrolysis process in the presence of a complexing agent like citric acid (CA) when added directly into the electrolyte during the electrolytic process. High surface area nickel electrodes prepared by electrodeposition technique were used as the electrode to evaluate the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by the ...
