Enhanced oxygen evolution activity by NiOx and Ni(OH)(2) nanoparticles

Xile Hu, Lucas-Alexandre Stern

Small nanoparticles of nickel oxide and nickel hydroxide were investigated for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solutions. These nanoparticles showed excellent catalytic activity, giving a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) at overpotentials (e ...

Gold nanoparticles mediated label-free capacitance detection of cardiac troponin I

Sandro Carrara, Priyanka Sharma

It has been already proved that electrical capacitance increases at the electrode surface due to binding of highly charged antigens on the biointerface. In this paper, this capacitance change was used to demonstrate a novel detection for cardiac troponin I ...

Electrocatalysis induced by surface redox activities on conductive metal oxide electrodes

Stéphane Fierro

Iridium dioxide electrodes form part of the dimensionally stable anodes (DSA®) and this electrode material is widely used in many industrial processes namely water electrolysis, metal electro-winning, cathodic protection and electro-organic synthesis due t ...

Self and induced stabilized nanoparticles for electrocatalysis

Mériadec Limat

Since few decades the search of new catalysts formulations for fuel cell applications has motivated numerous projects especially due to the future lack of fossil fuel, environmental and economical reasons. Consequently, Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell (DAFC) or D ...

Effectiveness factor of thin-layer IrO2 electrocatalyst

Erika Herrera Calderon

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 ...

Synthesis of metal nanoparticles by electrolytical STM and electrochemical discharges

Ashwin Lal

As conventional fabrication techniques reach their limits novel techniques are needed for fabrication of structures in the nanometer range. This thesis investigates new methods to create metal nanostructures or nanoparticles with an STM tip or a sharp meta ...

Electrochemical investigations in low conductivity organic solvents using microelectrodes

Alain Fankhauser

Electrochemical acetoxylation has been widely investigated about 40 years ago. However, there are only a limited number of studies in non-aqueous electrolytes, mainly because of difficulties related with the extremely low electrical conductivity of organic ...

Préparation et caractérisation de nanoparticules bimétalliques (Pt-Au) sur un substrat en diamant dopé au bore

Bahaa El Roustom

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 ...

Transport phenomena in nanofluidics

Reto Bruno Schoch

This thesis explores transport phenomena in nanochannels on a chip. Fundamental nanofluidic ionic studies form the basis for novel separation and preconcentration applications for proteomic purposes. The measurements were performed with 50-nm-high 1D nanoc ...
