Electrochemical machining (ECM) has been increasingly recognized for the potential for machining, while the precision of the machined profile is a concern of its application. A process to erode a hole of hundreds of micrometers on the metal surface is analyzed in the current paper. A theoretical and computational model is presented to illustrate how the machined profile evolves as the time elap...

Perovskite oxides are attractive candidates as catalysts for the electrolysis of water in alkaline energy storage and conversion systems. However, the rational design of active catalysts has been hampered by the lack of understanding of the mechanism of water electrolysis on perovskite surfaces. Key parameters that have been overlooked include the role of oxygen vacancies, B-O bond covalency, a...

To be regarded as environmentally friendly and economical, an industrial process using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation requires recycling and/or recovery of chemicals. In this work, hypochlorite recycling via electrolysis was evaluated and potential means for TEMPO recovery were explored. The most important variable affecting electrochemical hypochlorite conversion was th...

Recombination of electrolysis gases (oxidation of hydrogen and reduction of oxygen) is an important factor in operation efficiency of devices employing electrolysis such as actuators and also unitized regenerative fuel cells. Several methods of improving recombination speed and repeatability were developed for application to electrolysis microactuators with Nafion®-coated catalytic electrodes. ...

Membrane electrolysis (ME) is the only commercial technology using ion-exchange membranes for chromic acid recycling and recovery. On one hand, the technology has a number of promising advantages, but on the other hand, it has not yet gained common acceptance probably due to a lack of operation stability and efficiency. Published results of the research can be divided into three categories: lab...

Understanding catalyst dissolution pathways in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers is paramount for developing mitigation strategies aiming toward higher durability and lower loadings. To this end, Ir has been extensively studied using aqueous model systems but not real devices. Aiming to bridge knowledge gap, we use a metal-free electrolysis setup determine the mass balance of dissolv...

The green-H2 production through water electrolysis from renewable energies is vital in the context of developing a sustainable and cost-effective methodology. Anion exchange membrane electrolyzer (AEMWE) considered as promising energy conversion device, which can be an alternative to fossil fuel-based energyplatforms. AEMWE employ inexpensive nonprecious metal catalysts current collectors, pref...

It is well known that electro-hydrodynamical effects in freely suspended liquid films can flow the liquid. Here we report a purely electrically driven rotation in water and some other liquid suspended films with full control on the velocity and the chirality of the rotating vortices. The device, which is called “film motor”, consists of a quasi two-dimensional electrolysis cell in an external i...
