In the present study, Thermo-Reactive Deposition method (TRD) in a molten bath was used to form niobium carbide coating on AISI L2 steel. The coating was formed in five different composition of borax (Na2B4O7), boric acid (B2O3), and ferro-niobium. For all of the five compositions of molten bath, niobium carbide coating treatment was carried out at 1173 K, 1273 K, and 1373 K for 2, 4 and 8 hour...

We herein report an impedance spectroscopy study of Au electrodes on Gd-doped CeO2 (GDC) – molten Li2CO3+Na2CO3 (LNC) composite electrolytes in O2 and O2+CO2 atmospheres. Complementary measurements GDC alone are provided for supporting insight. find that the adsorption CO2 atmospheres effectively blocks oxygen severely slows reduction kinetics. The conductivity is dominated by phase solid-solid...
