The influence of calcium fluoride on the electrochemical dissolution of chalcopyrite at pH 2 was investigated. Experimental results show, when CaF 2 concentration from 0 increased to 10 mg/L, chalcopyrite corrosion current density from 0.316 μA cm −2 changed to 0.302 μA cm −2 , the CaF 2 inhibition efficiency is 4.43 % and up to 15.19 % when CaF...

The different behaviors of PdAu/C catalysts in the electrocatalytic oxidation of propane-1,3-diol and propane-1,2-diol in alkaline solution are investigated. The PdAu/C catalysts are prepared by means of the chemical co-deposition of Pd and Au on carbon black and characterized by instrumental analysis and electrochemical analysis. In propane-1,3-diol oxidation on the PdAu/C catalysts, the oxidation...
A new electrochemical sensor based on the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 -modified glassy carbon electrode for determination of bisphenol A (BPA) was developed by modifying the surface of a glassy carbon electrode with the prepared composite Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /MWCNTs. The morphology and structure of the...
Reduced graphene oxide/porous Si composite was fabricated through magnesiothermic reduction of mesoporous silica and subsequent dispersing porous Si in the suspension of graphene oxide followed by reduced process. The electrochemical performance of the obtained reduced graphene oxide/porous Si composite was investigated as anode for lithium ion batteries, and it delivers a reversible capacity...
Electrical properties of the NaCuFe 2 (VO 4 ) 3 compound were studied using complex impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range 300 Hz–5 MHz and temperature range (523–673 K). Both impedance and modulus analysis exhibit the grain and grain boundary contribution to the electrical response of the sample. The temperature dependence of the bulk and grain boundary...
LiFePO 4 /C has been synthesized by polymer gel combustion method. Of aniline monomer, 0.5 and 1.0 ml were used for the different amount of gel formation. The particle sizes of LiFePO 4 /C composites designated as lithium iron phosphate (0.5) (LFP(0.5)) and LFP(1.0) were estimated as ∼400 and ∼100 nm for the powders synthesized with 0.5 and 1.0 ml of monomers, respectively...
Non-woven nanofiber mats of poly(styrene sulfonic acid- co -maleic anhydride) (PSSAMA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were prepared by electrospinning using water as solvent. Composite membranes were prepared by casting a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) chloroform solution over the PSSAMA/PVA nanofibrous mats. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that these composite membranes...
The present work determined the effect of chromium segregation on surface and near-surface composition of Cr-doped TiO 2 (0.05 at.% Cr) after annealing in oxidising and strongly reducing environments at 1,073 and 1,273 K. The segregation-induced depth profiles were determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). It was observed that annealing in oxidising conditions [p(O ...
Glycerol-water mixtures have been extensively studied in the past several years. One of the most used techniques to study such mixtures is dielectric spectroscopy. Here, we use it to explore the range of low frequencies. This for two main reasons: (i) although electrode polarization, occurring at frequencies below 1 kHz, is normally considered as a geometrical non-desirable effect, a detailed study...
Presence of cations from iodide source in liquid electrolyte has strong influence on photoelectrochemical characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
