in this investigation, attempts were directed to study the inhibitive effects of nitrite and phosphate base inhibitors for the carbon steel alloy samples, which are used in an acid gas treatment process (the sulfiran® solution), in fe-edta solution. electrochemical techniques, i.e. polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis), were used to evaluate the inhibition efficie...

A new type of voltage-responsive comb-like superamphiphilic block polymer PEG113-b-PAA30/FTMA was prepared by the electrostatic interactions of an ionic ferrocenyl surfactant (FTMA) and an oppositely charged double-hydrophilic block polyelectrolyte poly-(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PEG113-b-PAA30) in aqueous solution. An in situ electrochemical redox system was designed to research i...

The in vivo electrochemical behavior of titanium nitride (TiN) nerve stimulation electrodes was compared to their in vitro behavior for a period of 90 days. Ten electrodes were implanted in two Göttingen minipigs. Four of these were used for electrical stimulation and electrochemical measurements. Five electrodes were kept in Ringer's solution at 37.5°C, of which four were used for electrical s...

The phenomenon of corrosion in metallic materials such as 316 stainless steel (316SS), produce a degradation which is mainly represented by the lost of metallic properties. One way to study this phenomenon is analyzing microscope digital images of materials exposed to corrosive processes, and the analysis of electrochemical signals using electrochemical noise measurements. The traditional techn...

We have developed electrochemical liquid cells for transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which allows imaging of electrochemical processes in liquid electrolytes with high spatial resolution in situ (Fig. 1). Using this set up, we study electrochemical deposition and dissolution of lead dendrites on gold electrodes immersed in an aqueous solution of lead nitrate. Observation reveals lead dend...

Magnetoelastic alloy films have been used as a working electrode in an electrochemical cell. This material allows magnetic interrogation of electrochemical deposition. This technique was used to monitor the electrochemical deposition of polypyrrole by multisweep (CV) and potentiostatic methods. Since the determination of the mass-sensitive magnetoelastic film's resonance frequency is based on m...

This paper presents an overview of the design of electrochemical processing equipment for semiconductor and related microelectronic manufacturing as well as a review of publications that are applicable to electrochemical wafer process equipment. We discuss several types of electrochemical processes applicable to wafer processing and the considerations that go into automated equipment for these ...

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as hydrotalcite-like anionic clays, have been investigated widely as promising electrochemical active materials. Due to the inherently weak conductivity, the electrochemical properties of LDHs were improved typically by utilization of either functional molecules intercalated between LDH interlayer galleries, or proteins confined between exfoliated LD...

We report here the development of a corona discharge (CD) initiated electrochemical (EC) electrospray ionization (ESI) technique using a standard electrospray ion source. This is a new ionization technique distinct from ESI, electrochemistry inherent to ESI, APCI, and techniques using hydroxyl radicals produced under atmospheric pressure conditions. By maximizing the observable CD at the tip of...

The electrochemical oxidation of cerium(III) was carried out using divided and undivided electrochemical cells in nitric acid medium. It was found that divided cell with Nafion 324 as the separator gave good conversion yield with high current efficiency compared to the undivided cell. The efficiency of the divided electrochemical cell was further optimized in terms of cell voltage, temperature,...
