The effect of the electrochemical treatment (potentiostatic treatment in a filter-press electrochemical cell) on the adsorption capacity of an activated carbon cloth (ACC) was analyzed in relation with the removal of 8-quinolinecarboxylic acid pollutant from water. The adsorption capacity of an ACC is quantitatively improved in the presence of an electric field (electroadsorption process) reach...

Influence of water solutions with various pH and electrochemical treatment in cathode position on concentration charge carriers samples Cd x Hg 1-x Te x=0.2-0.3 is investigated. Cathodic cadmium-mercury-tellurium at small density current increases donors, high acceptors are formed. It supposed that hydroxyl groups create centers, introduce interstitial cadmium-mercury-tellurium. At for a long t...

A modified cathodic arc technique has been used to deposit carbon nitride thin films directly on n Si substrates. Transmission Electron Microscopy showed that clusters of fullerene-like nanoparticles are embedded in the deposited material. Field emission in vacuum from as-grown films starts at an electric field strength of 3.8 V/μm. When the films were etched in an HF:NH4F solution for ten minu...

Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) and Lithium Niobate (LiNb03) thin films (0,2 to 1 pm) were deposited ont0 Platinum foils and Silicon wafers (M. 1. S. capacitor structure). In the present work, polycristalline films which had been prepared by R. F. cathodic sputtering of ceramic targets were studied. With a substrate temperature below 300 OC during the deposition, good insulating amorphous films with a...

Graphene is an emerging material with superior physical and chemical properties, which can benefit the development of microbial fuel cells (MFC) in several aspects. Graphene-based anodes can enhance MFC performance with increased electron transfer efficiency, higher specific surface area and more active microbe-electrode-electrolyte interaction. For cathodic processes, oxygen reduction reaction...

This work investigates the movement of anions during potentiostatic controlled reduction of novel composite materials consisting of high surface area cellulose substrates, extracted from the Cladophora sp. algae, coated with thin ( approximately 50 nm) layers of the intrinsically conducting polymer (ICP) polypyrrole. The coating was achieved by chemical polymerization of pyrrole on the cellulos...
