Discharge cavitation during microwave electrochemistry at micrometre-sized electrodes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave induced activation of electrochemical processes at microelectrodes (ca. 0.8 microm diameter) immersed in aqueous electrolyte media is shown to be driven by (i) continuous stable cavitation (giving rise to Faradaic current enhancements by up to three orders of magnitude) and (ii) transient discharge cavitation on the micros timescale (giving rise to cathodic plasma current spikes and more violent surface erosion effects).

Fabrication and use of nanometer-sized electrodes in electrochemistry.
Electrodes with electrochemical dimensions as small as 10 angstroms have been fabricated and used for electrochemical studies. These nanometer-scale electrodes have enabled the measurement of electron-transfer rate constants, k(het), that are two orders of magnitude faster than k(het) values accessible with any other electrochemical method.
متن کاملParticle-Level Modeling of the Charge-Discharge Behavior of Nanoparticulate Phase-Separating Li-Ion Battery Electrodes
In nanoparticulate phase-separating electrodes, phase separation inside the particles can be hindered during their charge/discharge cycles even when a thermodynamic driving force for phase separation exists. In such cases, particles may (de)lithiate discretely in a process referred to as mosaic instability. This instability could be the key to elucidating the complex charge/discharge dynamics i...

The supercapacitive behavior of polyaniline/MnO2-carbon black (PANI/MnO2-CB), MnO2-CB nanocompositesand CB was studied. MnO2-CB made by the in situ direct coating method to deposit MnO2 onto CB; then PANI coating was coated on it. Morphology of the nanocomposite was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform...
متن کاملSilicon Nanotips and Related Nano-Systems Involving Fluid and Carrier Transport for Miniaturized Spacecraft Power and Sensing Applications
Ionic liquid ions sources (ILIS) extract ions from room temperature molten salts, or ionic liquids. Ion extraction is achieved by stressing the ionic liquid into a Taylor cone structure, formed on the apex of micro-sized, nanostructured tips known as emitters. These ion sources can be used in applications such as ILIS electrospray propulsion for multi-scale spacecraft and materials processing a...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Au Microlattices as Positive Electrodes for Li-O2 Batteries.
We demonstrate the feasibility of using a 3-dimensional gold microlattice with a periodic porous structure and independently tunable surface composition as a Li-O2 battery cathode. The structure provides a platform for studying electrochemical reactions in architected Li-O2 electrodes with large (300 μm) pore sizes. The lack of carbon and chemical binders in these Au microlattices enabled the i...
