Aperiodic stochastic resonance in an electrochemical system with excitable dynamics is characterized in experiments and simulations. Two different spike trains, one with stochastic and the other with chaotic interspike intervals, are imposed on the system as subthreshold aperiodic signals. Information transmission is quantified by the cross correlation between the subthreshold input signal and ...

In this work, polypyrrole/ZnO nanocomposite (PPy/ZnO NC) was produced through synthesis of polypyrrole polymer in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles. The corrosion behavior of polyvinyl butyral coatings without and with different weight percentages of nanocomposite on the surface of 7075 Al alloy was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution at different immersion times using electrochemical impedance ...

Single nanoparticle (NP) electrochemical measurements are widely described, both theoretically and experimentally, as they enable visualization of the electrochemical signal of a single NP that is masked in ensemble measurements. However, investigating the behavior of individual NPs using electrochemical signals remains a significant challenge. Here we report experiments and simulations demonst...

Vanillin offers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition because of its safe use and highsolubility in water. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of AISI 304 stainless steel in0.5M H2SO4 solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS). Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the electrochemical noise(EN) tec...

In this paper, the level of corrosion and the corrosion rate of 304 stainless steel induced by sulfatereducing bacteria were studied using electrochemical noise. The noise data were analyzed by time domain and frequency domain combined with the observations of optical microscope. And the corrosion was divided into four categories: passivation, pitting induction period, pitting and uniform corro...

Reduced contact size would permit higher resolution cortical recordings, but the effects of diameter on crucial recording and stimulation properties are poorly understood. Here, the first systematic study of scaling effects on the electrochemical properties of metallic Pt and Au and organic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) electrodes is presented. PEDOT:PSS exh...

The effect of vanillin on the corrosion behavior of AA6061 Al alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution wasinvestigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques. Vanillinoffers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition due to its nontoxicity and high solubility inaqueous media. The best inhibition effect at 200 ppm vanillin was a marked characteristic of theinhibi...

The interaction of external noise with an electrochemical oscillator (anodic dissolution of iron) has been studied experimentally on both sides of the homoclinic bifurcation. In the oscillatory regime the regularity of the limit cycle behavior was destroyed with increasing noise amplitude until no periodicity was observable any more. In contrast, the response of the excitable state (fixed point...
