A portable vacuum interface allowing direct probing of the electrode-electrolyte interface was developed. A classical electrochemical system consisting of a gold working electrode, platinum counter electrode, platinum reference electrode, and potassium iodide electrolyte was used to demonstrate real-time observation of the gold iodide adlayer on the electrode and chemical species as a result of...

We present a segmented linear surface electrode ion trap design that can be used for various applications in optical clocks and quantum computation based on trapped 171 Yb + ions. Our simulations show calculated depth reach up to several electronvolts the pseudopotential minimum of is located above at distance greater than 80 μm. The described calculations different parameters planar with requi...

Redox reaction [Fe(CN)6] 3– / [Fe(CN)6] 4– has been studied with a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT)-coated Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE), SWCNT-coated Gold Electrode (GE) and a lab-made SWCNT-TPLF (SWCNT-Thin-Paper-Like-Film) Electrode. The SWCNT-modified electrode has shown a well-defined redox peak compared to bare electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry was used in 50.0 × 10–3 M aqueous solution...

Fast Li transport inside the Si electrode of Li-ion batteries is retarded at the electrode surface. We investigated the intercalation of a Li atom into the surface and subsurface layers of Ge and Sn using density functional calculations. In the Ge and Sn surfaces, the Li atom diffuses about four and twelve times faster, respectively, along the <100> direction than along the <111> direction. The...

in this paper, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts), gold nanoparticles (gnp) and glucose oxidase (god) was developed for the specific detection of glucose. mwcnts were chemically modified with the h2so4–hno3 pretreatment to introduce carboxyl groups which were used to interact with the amino groups of poly(allylamine) (paa) and cysteamine via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/n-hy...

Optical tracking of collisions between insulating microbeads and an ultramicroelectrode surface are correlated to electrochemical measurements and 3D simulations. The experiments are based on partial blocking of the electrode surface by the beads. Results obtained using these three methods provide details regarding the radial distribution of landing locations, the extent of current blockage, co...

The present work describes the construction of a new modified electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of a metallocene, which has been introduced in the experimental part, as a mediator at the surface of glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The proposed modified GC electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 4.0). When compared to bare GC...

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to investigate the structure and capacitance of the electrical double layers (EDLs) at the interface of vertically oriented graphene and ionic liquids [EMIM]/[BF4]. The distribution and migration of the ions in the EDL on the rough and non-rough electrode surfaces with different charge densities are compared and analyzed, and the effect of the elec...
