The growth of thin oxide coatings on the aluminum substrate in water-based sodium tungstate electrolyte by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is discussed and experimentally illustrated. carried out using a distinctive ultra-low duty cycle pulsed direct current (DC) power supply. During PEO processing elements present micro-discharges are identified standard optical emission spectroscopy (OES)...

Direct splitting of earth-abundant seawater provides an eco-friendly route for the production clean H 2 , but is hampered by selectivity and stability issues. electrolysis most established technology, attaining high current densities in order 1–2 A cm ?2 . Alternatively, light-driven processes such as photocatalytic photoelectrochemical are particularly promising well, they rely on renewable so...

I t has been recognised that a major factor which affects the current efficiency in the commercial electrolytic cells for magnesium is the wettability of the cathode surface with respect to magnesium and the ability of the metal deposited to grow into a considerable size on cathode surface before getting released from it. Factors affecting these and studies to improve the wettability have alrea...

plasma electrolytic oxidation (peo) is the new, environmentally and cost-effective method for coating the metals. this method vastly has been studied for coating aluminum, titanium and magnesium and their alloys and recently for steel. in present study, ck45 steel samples were coated by peo method in order to improve corrosion resistance. during this process specimens were immerged in carbonate...

The efficiency of electrolytic hydrogen production is limited by the slow reaction kinetics oxygen evolution (OER). Surface-reconstructed ferromagnetic (FM) catalysts with a spin-pinning effect at FM/oxyhydroxide interface could enhance spin-dependent OER kinetics. However, in real-life applications, electrolyzers are operated elevated temperature, which may disrupt spin orientations FM and lim...

The effects of the presence of copper on the photooxidation of phenol and 4-chlorophenol and of the presence of the phenols on the recovery of copper by electrodeposition are studied in three systems: a photolytic cell in the presence and absence of TiO2 as a catalyst or H2O2 as an oxidant; an electrolytic cell and a combined photolytic-electrolytic system. The optimum system for the simultaneo...

Original scientific paper This paper puts forward a method of fault prognostic based on Autoregressive Support Vector Regression Method (AR-LSSVR) for electrolytic capacitor. Because the electrolytic capacitor is low in cost and large in volume, it is widely used in power electronic circuits. Firstly it introduces the basic model and the fault prognostic algorithm of the AR, LSSVM and AR-LSSVR....

The role of the hippocampus in delay eyeblink conditioning (DEC) remains controversial. Here, we investigated the involvement of the hippocampus in DEC with a soft tone as the conditioned stimulus (CS) by using electrolytic lesions or muscimol inactivation of guinea pig dorsal hippocampus. Interestingly, when a soft tone was used as a CS, electrolytic lesions of the hippocampus significantly re...

Food fortification is an important long-term strategy for addressing micronutrient deficiencies. Finding the ideal Fe fortification compound, however, remains a challenge. In the present study the effect of ferrous bisglycinate as fortificant in brown bread was compared with that of electrolytic Fe among Fe-deficient school children in a randomised controlled trial. Children (n 160), aged 6-11 ...

Air-bubble coalescence in aqueous electrolytic solutions, following quasi-static approach, was studied in order to understand its slow rate in purified water and high rate in electrolytic solutions. The former is found to be due to surface charges, originating from the speciation of dissolved CO2, which sustain the electric double layer repulsion. Rapid coalescence in electrolytic solutions is ...
