The corrosion behavior of TiN coated 316L stainless steel in an artificial physiological solution was investigated by means of an electrochemical test. Two different PVD methods were used for film deposition: cathodic arc and reactive magnetron sputtering. The dependence of the corrosion resistance on the main deposition parameters (nitrogen pressure, substrate bias) was analyzed. For a better ...

A sensing device is modeled and discussed in this paper. The modeling is done by using carbon nanotubes. This carbon nanotube based sensing device makes it possible produce huge amount of nano chips as a disposable cartridge for diagnostic purposes. Modeling of nano-electrode, characterization and electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization is discussed here. The results shows that the impor...

Nanoelectrodes, with dimensions below 100 nm, have the advantages of high sensitivity and high spatial resolution. These electrodes have attracted increasing attention in various fields such as single cell analysis, single-molecule detection, single particle characterization and high-resolution imaging. The rapid growth of novel nanoelectrodes and nanoelectrochemical methods brings enormous new...

This paper reports on the synthesis, characterization and electrochemical properties of four ferrocenylmethyl substituted L-amino acid ligands and their Cu(II) complexes. Structural characterization of the complexes of L-methionine and L-asparagine derived ligands showed axial coordination of weak thioether and amide respectively to Cu(II). Coordination of the thioether group of L-methionine to...

In this paper we report on a lithium ion battery (LIB) based on improved olivine lithium iron phosphate/carbon (LiFePO4/C) as cathode material and LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C  synthesized by sol-gel method and TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) with an anatase phasesynthesized through anodization of Ti foil as an anode electrode. Crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the cathode and anode mate...
