Polypyrrole nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical polymerization method using ammonium persulphate as an oxidant. The synthesized polypyrrole nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Visible, FESEM and CV. The structure of polypyrrole nanoparticles were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The UV-Vis spectra of polypyrrole nanoparticles show π-π* and n-π* transitions. The morphological pr...

The present work reports electrochemical synthesis of MgB6 from molten salts using the precursor consists of LiF-B2O3-MgCl2. An attempt has been made to synthesize metastable phase MgB6 crystal by electrolysis method. DTA/TGA studies were made to determine the eutectic point of the melt and it was found to be around 900°C. The electrolysis was performed at 900°C under argon atmosphere, at curre...

AB -type intermetallic compounds were prepared by the melt spinning method. Structure analysis was carried out by X-ray 5 diffractometry, SEM and high resolution electron microscopy. The hydrogen storage capacity was determined by isothermic mass controlled absorption of hydrogen and by electrochemical charge /discharge cycles. A variation of the preparation parameters showed that a nanocrystal...

The measurement of sulfide, especially hydrogen sulfide, has held the attention of the analytical community due to its unique physiological and pathophysiological roles in biological systems. Electrochemical detection offers a rapid, highly sensitive, affordable, simple, and real-time technique to measure hydrogen sulfide concentration, which has been a well-documented and reliable method. This...

In this article, the electrochemical behavior of triethanolimine is described with a carbon paste electrode. A differential pulse voltammetric method was also developed for the determination of triethanolamine as an application to electroanalysis at a carbon paste electrode. The resultant voltammograms have revealed the irreversible electrochemical process that can be utilized to quantify the s...

The local interplay between the ionic and electronic transport in NiO is explored using correlative imaging by first-order reversal curve measurements in current-voltage and electrochemical strain microscopy. Electronic current and electromechanical response are observed in reversible and electroforming regime. These studies provide insight into local mechanisms of electroresistive phenomena in...

We describe herein a method for the simultaneous measurement of temperature and electrochemical signal with a new type of thermocouple microelectrode. The thermocouple microelectrode can be used not only as a thermometer but also as a scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) tip in the reaction between tip-generated bromine and a heated Cu sample. The influence of temperature on the SECM imag...
