In this work, TiO2 nanostructures were grown on titanium thin films by electrochemical anodizing method. The bipolar resistive switching effect has been observed in Pt/TiO2/Ti device. Resistive switching characteristics indicated the TiO2 nanotubes are one of the potential materials for nonvolatile memory applications.  Increasing anodizing duration will increase nanotube lengths which itself c...

As an alternative to chromate conversion coatings, rare-earth coatings especially cerium, because of the low toxicity, have attracted considerable attention. Using dip immersion method, cerium-based conversion coating was deposited on aluminum 2024. Corrosion resistance was studied in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and surface ...

electrochemical properties of various rock-shaped-cuo/graphite (g) composites and monoclinic structure cuo nanoparticles as the cathode versus a zinc plate as the anode in a 4m naoh electrolyte were elucidated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and chronopotentiometry (cp) in a two electrode configuration cell. various values of g 9, 16 and 28 wt% were prepared and studied as catho...

An important signaling process in the nervous system is the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters from neurons. In this thesis alternative thin film electrode materials for applications targeting electrochemical detection of neurotransmitters in chip devices were evaluated. Microelectrodes made of the conductive polymer Pedot:tosylate were characterized with respect to their p...

This study describes a systematic approach of TiO2/carbon black nanoparticles with respect to the loading amount in order to optimize the catalytic ability of triiodide reduction for dye-sensitized solar cells. In particular, the cell using an optimized TiO2 and carbon black electrode presents an energy conversion efficiency of 7.4% with a 5:1 ratio of a 40-nm TiO2 to carbon black. Based on the...

By means of an extended center-manifold reduction, we derive the nonlocal complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (NCGLE) valid for electrochemical systems with migration coupling. We carry out the stability analysis of the uniform oscillation, elucidating the role of the nonlocal coupling in electrochemical systems at the vicinity of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. We apply the NCGLE to an experime...

The electropolymerization of 7,14-diphenylacenaphtho[1,2-k ]fluoranthene on a platinum or indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode produces an electroactive film which displays fluorescence and electrochromism. We report a study of the electrochemical properties and other characteristics of this film, such as the resistance dependence by the potential applied to the electrode. In particular, the film s...
