Electrodeposition of zinc on mild steel in acid chloride solution using as additive, different concentrations of ananas comosus (pineapple) juice extracts, was investigated. Different additive concentrations, plating time, and constant pH conditions were used for the experiments. The electrodeposition of zinc on mild steel was performed using a DC – supply. The surface of the plated steel was e...

ZnO films can be electrodeposited cathodically from aqueous zinc salt solutions in the presence of oxidants like O2 [1]. The electrodeposition of nanoporous ZnO was first demonstrated by addition of water-soluble organic dye molecules with anionic groups such as –SO3 or – COO, which adsorb on the growing ZnO surface, to the electrodeposition bath [2]. More recently, addition of amphiphilic mole...

People usually research modulation mode 3 of SVM for matrix converter discussed in this paper. Actually, other different modulation modes of SVM for matrix converter are worth studying. Two novel modulation modes are put forward for matrix converter for the first time in this paper, expanding its modulation modes of SVM. First, SVM for matrix converter is described. Then the 3 modulation modes ...

The matrix converter system is competitive solution to replace the conventional two stage ac to ac converter. In this paper, a matrix converter driving a speed-controlled induction machine is examined under open-switch fault. First, a-predictive direct torque method is proposed using only the motor torque and current. Second, a motor speed control is presented. The proposed techniques do not re...

Electrodeposition of Si films from a Si-containing electrolyte is a cost-effective approach for the manufacturing of solar cells. Proposals relying on fluoride-based molten salts have suffered from low product quality due to difficulties in impurity control. Here we demonstrate the successful electrodeposition of high-quality Si films from a CaCl2 -based molten salt. Soluble SiIV -O anions gene...

The electrodeposition of germanium at elevated temperatures up to 180 °C and pressures was studied from the ionic liquids 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide containing [GeCl4(BuIm)2] (where BuIm = 1-butylimidazole) or GeCl4. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), rotating ring-disk e...

This work reports on the electrodeposition of rhodium (Rh) nanowires with a controlled surface morphology synthesized using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. Vertically aligned Rh nanowires with a smooth and coarse morphology were successfully deposited by adjusting the electrode potential and the concentration of precursor ions and by involving a complexing reagent in the electrolyte so...
