gd2o3 nanoparticles were prepared by a two–step process; cathodic electrodeposition followed by heat-treatment method. first, gd(oh)3 nanoparticles was galvanostatically deposited from nitrate bath on the steel substrate by pulse current (pc) mode. the deposition experiments was conducted at a typical on-time and off-time (ton=1ms and toff=1ms) for 60 min. the electrodeposited precursor was the...

in this work a rapid and selective procedure for separation and preconcentration of lead(pb2+) before determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (etaas) wasdeveloped. the procedure is based on the electrodeposition on a graphite probe modified withpalladium. the lead was deposited from acetate buffer solution at ph 5.5. various parameters,such as ph of solutions, deposition ...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) comprising choline chloride (ChCl) with either urea or ethylene glycol (EG) have been successfully used as powerful and potential electrolytes for extracting metals from their corresponding metal oxide precursors. In this work, for electrodeposition of Zn and Zn-Cu alloys, ChCl/urea-based DES was employed. Cyclic voltammetry study demonstrates that the reduction of...

A novel low-cost nanoring array fabrication method that combines the process of lithographically patterned nanoscale electrodeposition (LPNE) with colloidal lithography is described. Nanoring array fabrication was accomplished in three steps: (i) a thin (70 nm) sacrificial nickel or silver film was first vapor-deposited onto a plasma-etched packed colloidal monolayer; (ii) the polymer colloids ...

Electroaddressing of biological components at specific device addresses is attractive because it enlists the capabilities of electronics to provide spatiotemporally controlled electrical signals. Here, the electrodeposition of calcium alginate hydrogels at specific electrode addresses is reported. The method employs the low pH generated at the anode to locally solubilize calcium ions from insol...

Hydrogel has been regarded as one significant biomaterial in biomedical and tissue engineering due to its high biocompatibility. This paper proposes a novel method to pattern calcium alginate hydrogel in a 3D way via electrodeposition process based on a piece of paper. Firstly, one insulating paper with patterned holes is placed on one indium tin oxide (ITO) glass surface, which is put below an...

Three kinds of MnO₂/Ni foam composite electrode with hierarchical meso-macroporous structures were prepared using potentiodynamic (PD), potentiostatic (PS), and a combination of PS and PD(PS + PD) modes of electrodeposition. The electrodeposition mode markedly influenced the surface morphological, textural, and supercapacitive properties of the MnO₂/Ni electrodes. The supercapacitive performanc...

The synthesis of homopolymer and diblock copolymers on surfaces was demonstrated using electrodeposition of a methacrylate-functionalized carbazole dendron and subsequent reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) "grafting-through" polymerization. First, the anodically electroactive carbazole dendron with methacrylate moiety (G1CzMA) was electrodeposited over a conducting surface ...

During the initial stages of copper electrodeposition onto a thin seed layer, a nonuniform potential distribution arises, resulting in local variations in growth rate and deposit morphology. Early stages of morphology evolution during copper electrodeposition are of practical importance but have not been well studied. Here, a new multiscale approach is developed for numerical simulation of the ...
