Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can be operated in a reversed mode as electrolyzer cells for electrolysis of H2O and CO2. In this paper, a 2D thermal model is developed to study the heat/mass transfer and chemical/electrochemical reactions in a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) for H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis. The model is based on 3 sub-models: a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model describi...

vanillin is an interesting corrosion inhibitor because of its safe use and high solubility inwater. the effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in 1.0 mhydrochloric acid solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques.the effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion in th...

Background: Electro-oxidation is developed as an electrochemical method to overcome the problems of  the conventional  decolorization technologies and is an appropriate alternative for the treatment of colored wastewater from various industries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the electrochemical oxidation process in  removal  of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and Acid...

A new signal amplification strategy based on simultaneous application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was employed to improve the sensitivity of an electrochemical immunoassay for detection of human IgG (hIgG), as a model antigenic protein. This immunoassay system was fabricated on magnetic carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNT/Fe3...

this work is aimed to evaluate the role of nanoclay in the protective performance of an eco-friendly silane sol-gel layer applied on mild steel substrate in 0.1m sodium chloride solution. at the first step, the effect of ph of the silane solution, consisting of a mixture of γ-glycidoxypropiltrimethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, on the coating performance was evaluate...

the aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of coupling an electrochemical process with a biological treatment in order to degrade phosmet, an organophosphorous pesticide. the absence of biodegradability of phosmet by pseudomonas fluorescens and activated sludge was verified in our operational conditions. so, a conventional biological treatment is not appropriate for phosmet polluted...

We present a theoretical study of the structural response of model water monolayers on a Pd(111) surface upon various electrochemical conditions. Whereas the water molecules pointing toward the vacuum are mostly electrochemically inactive, those lying parallel to the surface undergo an oxidative adsorption under oxidizing conditions, and those pointing toward the surface show a reductive adsorp...

The knowledge of the electrochemical processes inside a Fuel Cell (FC) is useful for improving FC diagnostics, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) one most used techniques characterization. This paper aims to propose identification Fractional-Order Transfer Function (FOTF) able represent behavior in set working points. model was identified by using data-driven approach. Experimenta...

In situ monitoring of electrode materials reveals detailed physicochemical transition in electrochemical device. The key challenge is to explore the localized features of electrode surfaces, since the performance of an electrochemical device is determined by the summation of local architecture of the electrode material. Adaptive in situ techniques have been developed for numerous investigations...
