The ternary Ni–P–W alloy coating was fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering technique with dual targets of Ni–P/Cu and pure W. Electroplating Ni–P process was introduced to obtain the NiP compound target with extra-high phosphorous contents around 21 at.%. The deposition rate achieved as high as 20 Am/h after modification of the processing parameters. The Ni–P–W coating with a high P/Ni ratio of...

in this research, polyvinylchloride based composite heterogeneous cation exchange membranes were prepared by the solution casting technique. chitosan-co-iron nickel oxide nanoparticles were utilized as membrane surface modifier to improve the membranes electrochemical properties. the effect of additive nanoparticle concentration in the modifier solution on the properties of composite membranes ...

Electrochemical impedance and self-discharge studies were carried out to investigate lithium intercalation into bare and Ni-coated KS10 graphite. Values of the charge-transfer resistances, exchange current densities, surface film resistances, and lithium-ion diffusion coefficients as functions of the state of charge (SOC) all favored the 10 wt % Ni composite KS10 graphite over bare KS10 graphit...

A novel ultrasensitive biosensor was constructed by the [TBA]2[Ni(mnt)2]/graphene (mnt = maleonitriledithiolate) composite film for the detections of glutamate and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). The [TBA]2[Ni(mnt)2] nanocubes with a dimension of 500 nm were in-situ crystallized on the surface of Au electrode modified using thiol graphene in advance. Due to the synergistic effect

Abstract: Electroless Nickel (EN) composite coatings embedded with Cr2O3 and/or MoS2 particles were deposited to combine the characters of both Cr2O3 and MoS2 into one coating in this study. The effects of the co-deposited particles on corrosion behavior of the coating in 3.5% NaCl media were investigated. The results showed that both Ni-P and Ni-P composite coatings had significant improvement...

In this paper, the electrochemical hydrogen storage in nanocomposite materials was studied. Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) electrode was prepared by mixing with special composite. The optimum ratio of MWCNTs was estimated 30-70% (w/w) in the composite material. MWCNTs were synthesized by Chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The nanocomposite was homogenized by microwave. Cyclic voltammetry ...

Mechanical incorporation of metallic particles in the Sn-Ag-based solder re­ sulted in various intermetallic compound (IMC) morphologies around these particles during reflow. Unlike with the Ni particles, the IMCs formed around Cu and Ag particles are relatively insensitive to reflow profiles employed. The IMC formed around the Ni particles ranges from “sunflower” morphology to “blocky” morphol...

The formation mechanism of TiC particles in a Ni-Ti-C system were revealed by using differential thermal analysis (DTA), XRD, and SEM to identify the reaction products in different temperature ranges. The results indicated that the synthesis mechanism of TiC in Ni-Ti-C system was complex; several reactions were involved in the combustion synthesis of TiC-Ni composite. The Ni-Ti intermediate pha...
