The development of new anode materials having high electrochemical performances and interesting reaction mechanisms is highly required to satisfy the need for long-lasting mobile electronic devices and electric vehicles. Here, we report a layer crystalline structured SnP3 and its unique electrochemical behaviors with Li. The SnP3 was simply synthesized through modification of Sn crystallography...

We report the discovery of a highly active Ni-Co alloy electrocatalyst for the oxidation of hydrazine (N(2)H(4)) and provide evidence for competing electrochemical (faradaic) and chemical (nonfaradaic) reaction pathways. The electrochemical conversion of hydrazine on catalytic surfaces in fuel cells is of great scientific and technological interest, because it offers multiple redox states, comp...

II The last reaction investigated in this work was the oxidation of isopropanol. In this case a model was proposed based on three main reactions: Electrochemical IrO2 oxidation to IrO3, chemical oxidation of isopropanol via IrO3, and chemical decomposition of IrO3 to IrO2. The effectiveness factor, for the electrochemical reaction seemed not to correlate with the loading, whereas for the chemic...

It is now generally agreed that the electrochemical reduction of ethylene carbonate ~EC! plays an important role in the formation of an effective solid electrolyte interface layer on the carbon anode in lithium-ion cells. However, neither the composition of this layer nor the reaction pathways involved in its formation have been clearly established. We report reflectance infrared spectra from a...

The corrosion behavior of pure Fe under a Na₂SO₄ deposit in an atmosphere of O₂ + H₂O was investigated at 500 °C by thermo gravimetric, and electrochemical measurements, viz. potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and surface characterization methods viz. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS). The...

Electrochemical techniques have been frequently used in the field of chemical analyses including pretreatment, qualitative estimation and quantification. Principal physical quantities obtained by electrochemical measurements are potential (or voltage), current and resistance. Each quantity provides the indication of a driving force, a rate and a barrier against electrochemical reactions. Figure...

the electrochemical behavior of nifedipine (i), nitrendipine(ii) and their photodegradation products has been studied by employing electrochemical techniques in chloroform and in 1:4 mixture of chloroform-isopropanol using piperidinium perchlorate (ppc) as supporting electrolyte. it has been shown that i and ii undergo in a 4e, 4h+ irreversible reduction reaction, while the reduction product, p...

The removal of nitroaromatics from polluted water is difficult due to their high stability to conventional treatment methods. This paper presents a method for the destruction of 1,3-dinitrobenzene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene in aqueous solutions. The compounds are shown to be stable to reaction with ozone, even under ultrasonic activation. The use of ultrasound enhances the rate of electrochemical r...

The micropipet delivery-substrate collection (MD-SC) mode of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is demonstrated. This new mode is intended for the study and imaging of electrochemical as well as electrocatalytic reactions of neutral species that cannot be generated electrochemically. The spontaneous transfer of the analyte from an organic solvent across an interface between two immiscib...
