The chemical and electrochemical promotion of highly dispersed nanofilm Rh catalysts (dispersion: about 10 %, film thickness: 40 nm) has been investigated for the first time. To this end Rh metal was sputter-deposited, either on a purely ionic conductor (8 ...
Dimensionally Stable Anodes (DSA®) are electrodes composed of a metal support and an oxide coating (catalyst). Particularly in this thesis, the Ti/IrO2 electrode was used for the study of the fraction of the surface which participates effectively in the in ...
Machining with electrochemical discharges is an unconventional technology able to machine several electrically non-conductive materials like glass or some ceramics. After almost 40 years of its first mention in literature, this technology remains an academ ...
Reliable DNA detection is of great importance for the development of the Lab-on-chip technology. The effort of the most recent projects on this field is to integrate all necessary operations, such as sample preparation (mixing, PCR amplification) together ...
Using petrol as a main source of energy, during the 20th century, has caused considerable amounts of damage among which are atmospheric pollution and global warming. At the same time, many geologists and economists expect that the discovery rate of new pet ...
The carbon-free LiFePO4 (olivine) was modified by a monolayer coverage with [12-(2,5-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxy-phenoxy)-dodecyl]-phosphonic acid, coded DW. Thin film electrodes were bonded with 5% PVDF and deposited on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) support. The surface ...
The electropolishing of a B-doped diamond (BDD) film deposited by CVD was studied in HOAc-H2SO4 media. The electropolished surface was characterized by SEM, XPS, and electrochem. measurements. In 1 M H2SO4 no polishing of the surface occurred even after pr ...
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB) are large stationary electricity storage systems; their performance is enhanced when they are operating under optimal conditions. The multiphysics model developed in this paper offers a good understanding of the VRB oper ...
This paper describes the selective recovery of heavy metals from a chloride contg. soln. The goal is to recover each heavy metal with high purity and yield by electrodeposition. The soln. contains four different heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd), high amts. ...
