Formation of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 films as SOFC cathodes by electrophoretic deposition

Electrophoretic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite

     The purpose of this study was to investigate the deposition of the hydroxyapatite (HA) coating via the electrophoresis procedure. The HA deposition was performed in an ethanol, methanol, acetone and isopropanol suspension. Methanol was found to be the best deposition media. Among the different environmental conditions, including the encapsulation of the samples under two vacuum types of pr...

Kinetic investigation of carbon nanotube deposition by DC electrophoretic technique

In this paper, kinetics of DC electrophoretic deposition EPD of carbon nanotubes CNTs is investigated. Carbon nanotubes suspended in pure ethanol with addition of magnesium nitrate was used as deposition media. The effect of main EPD parameters such as deposition time, applied voltage and the CNT concentration on deposit yield was investigated. The variation of current density vs. time and the ...

Reaction kinetics of nanostructured SOFC cathodes

Materials design for perovskite SOFC cathodes

This article focuses on perovskite materials for application as cathode material in solid oxide fuel cells. In order to develop new promising materials it is helpful to classify already known perovskite materials according to their properties and to identify certain tendencies. Thereby, composition-dependent structural data and materials properties are considered. Structural data under consider...

Formation of ultrathin hydrogel films on microcantilever devices using electrophoretic deposition

Uniform hydrogel films from micro/nano-hydrogel particles were prepared on the silicon wafers and microcantilevers. These films were assembled on the substrates by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The microcantilevers coated by such films responded to the environmental pH changes, indicating that the EPD could be used as a new method for modifying microcantilevers.
