Aluminum is produced by the electrolytic reduction of alumina dissolved in molten cryolite. This process requires carbon anodes which are consumed during the electrolysis. The anodes contribute roughly with 15% to the total aluminum production cost. If the ...
The charge transport properties of the dye-sensitized solar cells consisting of Ru(dcbpyH2)2(NCS)2-sensitized nanostructured TiO2 with either redox electrolyte or CuSCN as hole conductor were compared. The electron transport time and the electron charge in ...
The spark assisted chem. engraving (SACE) of glass has been investigated using current/voltage measurements combined with photographs of the tool electrode under different regimes. Depending on the applied potential, different domains have been identified. ...
We present a study of the kinetics of electron injection in ruthenium(II) cis-(2,2‘-bipyridyl-4,4‘-dicarboxylate)2(NCS)2-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 films as a function of electrical potential applied to the TiO2 film and as a function of the compositi ...
GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wires grown by modulated flow rate metalorganic chemical vapour deposition were investigated by spatially resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy using a scanning near-field optical microscope. It was found that the wires decompose into ...
Among the numerous base metals tested for DSA type electrodes (e.g., titanium and its alloys, zirconium, niobium etc.), tantalum is a potentially excellent substrate owing to its good elec. cond. and corrosion resistance, and the favorable dielec. properti ...
A new method for the prepn. of nanostructured TiO2 films, based on the compression of a TiO2 powder is presented, and its relevance for the prodn. of dye-sensitized solar cells is discussed. By applying a pressure (>200 kg cm-2) on a film of TiO2 powder, a ...
Interaction forces between ionizable surfaces across an electrolyte solution on the Poisson-Boltzmann level are discussed within the constant regulation approximation. The chemical response of each surface is expressed in terms of two parameters, namely, t ...
We studied the electrochemical oxidation, on Pt anodes, of industrial wastewaters containing 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone (AMBI). Electrolysis of this non-biodegradable effluent produces simultaneous oxidation of AMBI and chloride ions. Highly oxidat ...
