A review on photoelectrochemical cathodic protection semiconductor thin films for metals

Ultra-thin silicate films on metals.

Silica is one of the key materials in many modern technological applications. 'Surface science' approach for understanding surface chemistry on silica-based materials, on the one hand, and further miniaturization of new generation electronic devices, on the other, all these face the necessity of rational design of the ultrathin silica films on electrically conductive substrates. The review upda...

Characterization of iron oxide thin films for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production

Self-assembled 2D WSe2 thin films for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production

WSe2--a layered semiconductor that can be exfoliated into atomically thin two-dimensional sheets--offers promising characteristics for application in solar energy conversion. However, the lack of controllable, cost-effective methods to scalably fabricate homogeneous thin films currently limits practical application. Here we present a technique to prepare controlled thin films of 2D WSe2 from di...

Optimization of Cathodic Protection on Offshore Structures

Marine structures are one of the most important and susceptible facilities in Iran due to corrosion. The two methods of Cathodic Protection, namely, the cathodic protection with sacrificial anodes and cathodic protection using impressed current, are widely used for corrosion protection. According to the former, sacrificial anodes are installed at several points in the structure. Position of the...
