Cover Feature: Sputtered Titanium Nitride Films on Titanium Foam Substrates as Electrodes for High-Power Electrochemical Capacitors (ChemElectroChem 16/2018)

Porous titanium oxynitride sheets as electrochemical electrodes for energy storage.

A flexible, porous TiOxNy sheet consisting of numerous conductive fibers was synthesized by nitridation of titanate and further used as an electrochemical electrode. The high surface area and mixed-oxidation state of titanium make TiOxNy sheets to be promising candidates for a good supercapacitor.

Optimization of sputtered titanium nitride as a tunable metal for plasmonic applications

Alternative materials for plasmonic devices have garnered much recent interest. A promising candidate material is titanium nitride. Although there is a substantial body of work on the formation of this material, its use for plasmonic applications requires a more systematic and detailed optical analysis than has previously been carried out. This paper describes an initial optimization of sputter...

Electrochemical properties of titanium nitride nerve stimulation electrodes: an in vitro and in vivo study

The in vivo electrochemical behavior of titanium nitride (TiN) nerve stimulation electrodes was compared to their in vitro behavior for a period of 90 days. Ten electrodes were implanted in two Göttingen minipigs. Four of these were used for electrical stimulation and electrochemical measurements. Five electrodes were kept in Ringer's solution at 37.5°C, of which four were used for electrical s...

Electrochemical preparation of chitosan/hydroxyapatite composite coatings on titanium substrates.

Composite coatings containing brushite (CaHPO(4). 2H(2)O) and chitosan were prepared by electrochemical deposition. The brushite/chitosan composites were converted to hydroxyapatite/chitosan composites in aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide. The coatings ranged from approximately 1 to 15% chitosan by weight. Qualitative assessment of the coatings showed adhesion significantly improved over th...
