In this work,copper/palladium (Cu/Pd) multilayer nanowires were successfully prepared by electrodeposition method using polycarbonate template. The fabrication of Pd/Cu multilayer nanowires was controlled by analyzing the current–time transient during electrodeposition using potentiostat. The morphological properties of the nanowires were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and resu...

electrochemical properties of various rock-shaped-cuo/graphite (g) composites and monoclinic structure cuo nanoparticles as the cathode versus a zinc plate as the anode in a 4m naoh electrolyte were elucidated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and chronopotentiometry (cp) in a two electrode configuration cell. various values of g 9, 16 and 28 wt% were prepared and studied as catho...

A comparison of electron beam parameters from a 1.6 cell S-band rf gun with Cu and Mg cathode at the SLAC Gun Test Facility are reported. The lower work function of Mg compared to Cu theoretically increases the quantum efficiency for a fixed laser wavelength and also increases the thermal emittance. Slice emittance measurements at low charge (15 pC) set an upper limit on the thermal emittance o...

Hierarchical rippled Bi(2)O(3) nanobelts were successfully synthesized by an electrodeposition route and tested as promising materials for supercapacitor applications.

Metallic molybdenum (Mo(o)) wires with diameters ranging from 15 nanometers to 1.0 micrometers and lengths of up to 500 micrometers (0.5 millimeters) were prepared in a two-step procedure. Molybdenum oxide wires were electrodeposited selectively at step edges and then reduced in hydrogen gas at 500 degrees C to yield Mo(o). The hemicylindrical wires prepared by this technique were self-uniform,...

Silver-zinc (Ag–Zn) batteries are a promising battery system for flexible electronics owing to their high safety, energy density, and stable output voltage. However, poor cycling performance, low areal capacity, inferior flexibility limit the practical application of Ag–Zn batteries. Herein, we develop quasi-solid-state with superior performance by using mild electrolyte binder-free electrodes....

Pulsed electrolysis of copper has been systematically investigated by electrodepositing copper from a copper sulfate bath. Pulse duty cycles of 5 to 80 percent, at frequencies from 10 to 100 Hz with current densities ranging from 2.5 to 7.5 A/dm2 were employed. The appearance of Hull Cell panels with both direct current and pulsed current was recorded. The influence of pulsed current on current...

Although microbial fuel cells (MFCs) generate much lower power densities than hydrogen fuel cells, the characteristics of the cathode can also substantially affect electricity generation. Cathodes used for MFCs are often either Pt-coated carbon electrodes immersed in water that use dissolved oxygen as the electron acceptor or they are plain carbon electrodes in a ferricyanide solution. The char...

the combination of graphene (gr) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (nio nps) yields nanostructured electrochemical sensor formed a novel kind of structurally uniform and electrocatalytic activity material. in cyclic voltammetry (cv) studies, in the presence of ep, nio/gr composite modified electrode shows a significantly higher current response for ep oxidation. based on differential pulse voltamm...
