Although alloy tin plating has been known and used for many years, this paper will describe the use of a new non-cyanide tin/zinc alloy as a possible replacement coating for cadmium and the use of a tin/nickel alloy as a possible substitute for barrel decorative chromium plating. A review on the corrosion properties of tin, zinc and cadmium compared to tin/zinc alloys and review of the properti...

Small coin cell batteries are predominantly used for testing lithium-ion (LIBs) in academia because they require small amounts of material and easy to assemble. However, insufficient attention is given difference performance that arises from the differences format between cells by academic researchers pouch or cylindrical which industry. In this article, we compare different size with exactly s...

Deep eutectic solvents have been established as feasible metal electroplating solvent alternatives over traditional toxic aqueous plating baths. However, water, either added intentionally or unintentionally, can significantly influence the solvent’s physical properties and performance, thereby hindering its industry application. In this study, hygroscopicity, ability to absorb moisture from env...

Although lithium (Li) and sodium (Na) metals can be selected as the promising anode materials for next-generation rechargeable batteries of high energy density, their practical applications are greatly restricted by uncontrollable dendrite growth. Herein, a platinum (Pt)–copper (Cu) alloy-coated Cu foam (Pt–Cu foam) is prepared then used substrate Li Na metal anodes. Owing to ultrarough morphol...

zinc-nickel electrodeposits have been widely adopted for surface treatment of automobile steel sheet for high corrosion resistance. in this work the effect of pulse parameters on the zn-ni alloy electrodeposits was investigated. the hardness, thickness, corrosion resistance and composition of deposits thus produced were investigated. the surface topography of the deposits was also observed in s...

Chromium through natural processes and human activities enters the air, soil and water. Chromium-resistant bacteria are capable of reducing toxic Cr(VI) to less toxic Cr(III). In this work, batch studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of environmental factors on the rate of Cr(VI) reduction from synthetic wastewater of metal plating industry by Bacillus cereus under aerobic conditions. T...
