in the current work, graphene oxide (go) samples were prepared at room temperature from graphite flakes using a modified hummer's method to produce metal-free electrocatalysts. the effect of the duration of the oxidation process on the structural, chemical and physical characteristics of the go samples was evaluated using x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), ...

Scanning electrochemical microscopy ~SECM! has been integrated with electrochemical atomic force microscopy ~EC-AFM!, and applied for in situ studies of localized corrosion of Al alloys in NaCl solution. The instrument utilizes a dual mode probe, which functions both as a normal cantilever and as an ultramicroelectrode. The I −/I 3 − redox mediator was used for mapping of local electrochemical ...

La2O2SO4 nanoceramic was synthesized via sol-gel method using lanthanum nitrate and thioacetamid as precursors and stearic acid as polymeric precursor. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The result showed that the synthesized sample belongs to monoclinic structure with the average sizes between...

the mononuclear gd(iii) complex, [gd(l)3(h2o)5] (where l is alizarin yellow r (nac13h8n3o5)), has been prepared in h2o under reflux condition. the gd(iii) complex has been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (uv–vis and ft–ir). the gd2o3 nanoparticles were prepared by the calcination of the gd(iii) complex in air at different temperatures up to 600 °c for 2 h. the calc...

This paper focused on the characterization of electrochemical behavior of a martensitic stainless steel in the acidic solutions. For this purpose, electrochemical parameters were derived from potentiodynamic polarization, Mott Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The potentiodynamic polarization results showed that corrosion current density of AISI 420 ...

six new complexes of the type trans-[lco((do)(doh)pn)l'] where (do)(doh)pn= n2, n2'-propanediolbis (2,3-butanedione 2-imine 3-oxime), l-cl¯ and l'=mono-anaion of phenylcyanamide (pcyd), 2,5-dichlorophenylcyanamide (2,5-cl2 pcyd), 2,4-dimethyl pehylcyanamide (2,4-me2 pcyd) and l=l'=pcyd, 2,5-cl2 pcyd, 2,4-me2 pcyd, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy and c...

Development of an in situ technique for measuring electrochemical impedance spectra in real time during an electrochemical experiment is described. The technique is based on staircase voltammetry with relatively large step heights, in which a series of increasing potential steps are applied to an electrochemical system, and the resulting currents are sampled. The first derivatives of the curren...
