Developing an efficient material as a counter electrode (CE) with excellent catalytic activity, intrinsic stability, and low cost is essential for the commercial application of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Transition metal phosphides have been demonstrated outstanding multifunctional catalysts in broad range energy conversion technologies. Here, we exploited different phases iron phosphi...

the reduction process for some quinones has been studid by cyclic voltammeby, rotating disk electrode voltammetry and chronopotentiometry in chloroform at platinum, gold and glassy carbon electrodes using tetrabutylmonium perchlorate (tb ap) as supporting eiectrolyte. the results obtained from this study reveal that the reduction of the quinones is two one-electron processes, the first reductio...

Controlling protein interactions at the implanted electrode interface is becoming an important strategy for the management of foreign body responses that have proven to be detrimental to the long-term performance of neural prosthesis. In this study, PEGylation was conducted on platinum bio-electrodes to render the surface protein-resistant. The PEGylated electrode was investigated using a quart...

furan is a possible human carcinogen in many types of foods. a new and sensitive electroanalytical method for determination of furan has been developed and validated. the best condition forelectrochemical response was obtained with 0.1 m britton-rabinson buffer solution (ph=5) a glassy carbonelectrode (gce) was used as the working electrode, a ag/agcl/ kcl(sat.) electrode served as the referenc...

Nickel base superalloy alloys are used in the manufacture of gas turbine engine components, which in use are exposed to high temperatures and corrosive environments. The platinum aluminide coatings described here have been developed to protect nickel base superalloy alloys from oxidation. In this study, the effect of cyclic oxidation, platinum layer thickness and aluminizing process on beha...

The high mass transport caused by ultrasonic radiation in the preconcentration of trace metal species in anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV), leads to an order of magnitude enhancement in sensitivity. A Nafion-coated mercury thin-film working electrode is placed in a specially designed small-volume sonovoltammetric cell. The preparation and curing procedure for the Nafion film on a glassy carbon...

We report a high-density electrode array fabricated using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) techniques that contains 8,192 individually addressable platinum working electrodes in a 2 mm × 2 mm area along with an on-chip potentiostat. Microfluidic devices were mounted on top of the electrode array to control fluid delivery to evaluate the spatial and temporal resolution achievable w...
