The polarization behaviour of (Biz03)0.,5(Er,0,),,25(BE25) with a co-pressed gold gauze electrode was studied as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure in a three electrode cell. The anodic polarization is smaller than the cathodic polarization. The cathodic charge transfer coefficient, (Y,, is about 0.5 while the anodic one, (Y., is about 1.5. The exchange current density shows ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of various titanium surfaces modified by cold plasma nitriding in terms of adhesion and proliferation of rat osteoblastlike cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Samples of grade 2 titanium were subjected to three different surface modification processes: polishing, nitriding by plasma direct current, and nitriding by cathodic cage disc...

The electrochemical grafting process of 4-nitrobenzene and 4-methoxybenzene (anisole) from diazonium salt solutions has been investigated in situ by monitoring the current density, the band bending, and the nonradiative surface recombination during grafting at different potentials and different concentrations of the diazonium salt in the solution. Ex situ infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry has...

We report a protocol of CdS-labeled sandwich-type amperometric bioanalysis with high sensitivity, on the basis of simultaneous chemical-dissolution/cathodic-enrichment of the CdS quantum dot biolabel and anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) detection of Cd directly on the bioelectrode. We added a microliter droplet of 0.1 M aqueous HNO₃ to dissolve CdS on the bioelectrode and simultaneously achie...

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of lucigenin is induced at oxide-coated aluminum electrode in aqueous solution by cathodic pulse polarization. This ECL can be enhanced by the presence of coreactants such as peroxodisulfalte. The present method is based on the injection of hot electrons into the aqueous electrolyte solution, which probably results in the generation of hydrated electrons...

Trace amounts of thallium(I) can be determined using adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry in the presence of Xylenol Orange (XO). The reduction current of the thallium(I)-XO complex ion was measured by square-wave cathodic stripping voltammetry. The peak potential was at -0.44 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The effect of various parameters (pH, ligand concentration, accumulation potential and collection t...

Square-wave cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry based on adsorptive accumulation is a very sensitive technique for the trace determination of xanthosine 50-monophosphate (50-XMP) and xanthosine 50-diphosphate (50-XDP). The determination is based on the strong interaction of the adsorption of xanthosine phosphate compounds on a mercury electrode surface, forming Hg(II)-xanthate. The cathod...

Organic materials are used in novel optoelectronic devices because of the ease and high compatibility of their fabrication processes. Here, we demonstrate a low-driving-voltage cathodic-controlled organic upconverter with a mapping application that converts near-infrared images to produce images of visible blood vessels. The proposed upconverter has a multilayer structure consisting of a photos...
