In this paper, three different morphological Co3O4 electrodes for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have been synthesized. By comparing the three morphologies of Co3O4, the electrocatalytic properties show that the urchin-like spheres of Co3O4 electrode has relative low overpotential and good electrocatalysis stability, indicating that the structure of urchin-like Co3O4 spheres exhibit an easy OE...

Graphene is an attractive electrode material to contact nanostructures down to the molecular scale since it can be gated electrostatically. Gating can be used to control the doping and the energy level alignment in the nanojunction, thereby influencing its conductance. Here we investigate the impact of electrostatic gating in nanojunctions between graphene electrodes operating at finite bias. U...

Although offering superior resistance to corrosion, titanium is unable to withstand discoloration with exposure to peroxide or fluoride. The mechanism of this discoloration, however, remains to be clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism underlying discoloration of titanium with immersion in peroxide- or fluoride-containing solutions based on electrochemical quartz ...

Cysteine forms self-assembled monolayers over gold nanoparticles. Based on this knowledge, a novel electrochemical sensor (Au-Au(nano)-Cys-SDS) has been constructed by the formation of self-assembly monolayer (SAM) of cysteine on gold-nanoparticles modified gold electrode (Au-Au(nano)-Cys) to be utilized for determination of dopamine in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Electrochemi...

A Geoelectrical resistivity survey using Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) was carried out in Medak District, Andhra Pradesh, India, in order to assess the subsurface geology and groundwater potential zones. Twenty six vertical electrical soundings were recorded with Schlumberger electrode configuration with current electrode spacing (AB/2) half ranging from 1 to 150m. The field data has been...
