The electrocatalytic activity of an N,N-diethylaniline-grafted carbon (DEA/PFC) electrode was utilized to improve the sensitivity in the cathodic detection of free chlorine. Voltammetric curves showed a well-defined cathodic peak of free chlorine on DEA/PFC, lowering the overlap with that of dissolved oxygen. Amperometric measurements were applied for the determination of free chlorine for a co...

We have successfully developed a novel cathodic cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with arenes. Utilization of the cathodic single electron transfer (SET) mechanism for activation of aryl halides enables the cross-coupling reaction to proceed without the need for any transition metal catalysts or single electron donors in a mild condition. The SET from a cathode to an aryl halide initiates...

Thermally and electrochemically driven 18O tracer exchange experiments in H2/H218O atmosphere were performed on SrTi0.7Fe0.3O3 - δ and Ce0.8Gd0.2O2 - δ thin films on single crystalline YSZ substrates. Noble metal current collectors were deposited on both films and electrochemically polarized during the exchange experiment. The resulting tracer distribution was analyzed by spatially resolved sec...

The modulus and internal friction of Armco iron rere continuously measured during cathodic charging rith hydtogen to investigate crack initiation and grorth. The observed modulus decrease ras attributed to crack initiation and grorth. The internal friction increase doring cathodic charging ras atfributed to plastic deformation accompanying the crack formation. Both the modulos and internal fric...

The electrochemical detection of free chlorine based on the reduction at a gold electrode has been studied. The differential pulse voltammetric curves exhibited well-defined cathodic peaks. Investigations with this system suggested that the active species in the cathodic reaction is HClO. Excellent reproducibility was demonstrated at pH 5. The peak height could be used for accurate and rapid de...

The interaction between photosynthetic microorganisms and an inert electrode material was examined. Cathodic polarization values of platinum-bearing marine algae were obtained over a wide current-density range under both illumination and dark conditions. A potential shift of 0.6 v in the cathodic direction occurred upon illumination at a current density of 4.3 mua/cm(2). Similar photo-induced r...

Electrochemistry is a physical science. As a general definition physical sciences apply mathematical equations, making some assumptions in order to predict/explain phenomena/mechanism occurring in the natural environment. The mechanism of cathodic protection in seawater has been covered exhaustively elsewhere and the intent of this paper is to focus on the procedure of the galvanic (sacrificial...

The cathodic reduction of SiO2 in KCl-CaCl2-NaCl-MgCl2 melt was studied using tungsten wires as working electrodes. The results of cyclic voltammetry square wave voltammetry and chronopotentiometry showed that the cathodic deposition of silicon is a quasi-reversible diffusion-controlled reaction, followed by a four electrons transfer step. The results of current reversal chronopotentiometry and...
