The inhomogeneous Li electrodeposition of lithium metal electrode has been a major impediment to the realization of rechargeable lithium metal batteries. Although single ion conducting ionomers can induce more homogeneous Li electrodeposition by preventing Li(+) depletion at Li surface, currently available materials do not allow room-temperature operation due to their low room temperature condu...

Electrodeposition is a simple and economic technique for precision coating of different shaped substrates with pure metal, alloy or composite films. Dc electrodeposition was used to produce Cr, Co-Cr and Co-Cr/TiO2 nano-composite coatings from Cr(III) based electrolytes onto 316L SS substrates. The effects of TiO2 nanoparticles concentration on co-deposition of these particles along with Cr con...

The present work investigates the masking effect of carbon contamination patterns deposited by the electron-beam ~E-beam! of a scanning electron microscope ~SEM! for metal electrodeposition reactions. Carbon contamination lines were written at different electron doses on n-type Si~100! surfaces. Subsequently Au was electrochemically deposited from a 1 M KCN 1 0.01 M KAu~CN!2 solution on the E-b...

In this work, a two-step electrodeposition strategy is developed for the synthesis of core-shell Co₃O₄@CoS nanosheet arrays on carbon cloth (CC) for supercapacitor applications. Porous Co₃O₄ nanosheet arrays are first directly grown on CC by electrodeposition, followed by the coating of a thin layer of CoS on the surface of Co₃O₄ nanosheets via the secondary electrodeposition. The morphology co...

Films of highly oriented alpha-zirconium phosphate and polyaniline-intercalated zirconium phosphate with controllable thickness in the micrometer range were grown anodically on Pt electrodes. To optimize the electrodeposition conditions, the exfoliation of alpha-zirconium phosphate by tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salts was investigated in several nonaqueous solvents. Acetonitrile was found to be th...

this paper investigates the importance of considering biomass growth and decay for predicting a field scale microbial degradation of btex plume in an unconfined aquifer system in the pump station area of tehran oil refinery (tor), iran. a two-dimensional finite volume model has been presented to predict multi-species reactive transport incorporating physical, chemical and biological processes i...

Noble metal nanoparticles can be electrodeposited on carbon nanotubes under potential control. The nanotube sidewalls serve both as the electrodeposition template and as the wire electrically connecting the deposited nanoparticles.

Large-scale single crystalline tin nanowire arrays with preferred lattice orientation along the [100] direction were fabricated in porous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) membranes by the electrodeposition method using copper nanorod as a second electrode.

Nanowire is a cylindrical nano-structure with nanometer dimensions. In this research, the studied nanowire was made from the magnetic triple Ni-Fe-Co alloy. We utilized ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide as a template for the nanowire deposition. The nanowire arrays were electrodeposited in the cylindrical pores of the oxide layer by AC potential in a simple sulfate bath. Then the relation ...
