Corrosion is a common concern that arise from the use of iron metal components in daily life, both at home and industrial scale. Cathodic protection employing sacrificial anode one several ways for preventing corrosion it method underground pipes, ships, storage tanks. The to be protected second called are two essential this prevention approach. This study involved preparing corrosive cells wit...

Microfabricated fuel cells have been designed and constructed on silicon integrated circuit wafers using many processes common in integrated circuit fabrication, including sputtering, polymer spin coating, reactive ion etching, and photolithography. Proton exchange membranes PEMs for an “integrated” fuel cell have been made by low-temperature, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of silico...

A high full-electrode basis capacity secondary battery anode consisting of a template-free 3D nanostructured Fe3O4/C composite is presented. On a full electrode basis, the nanocomposite exhibits attractive electrochemical performance including a volumetric capacity of 1064 mAh cm(-3), which significantly exceeds both the practical (≈300 mAh cm(-3)) and theoretical (837 mAh cm(-3)) capacity of a...

Porous- and hollow-structured LiNb3O8 anode material was prepared by a hydrothermal-assisted sintering strategy for the first time. The phase evolution was studied, and the formation mechanism of the porous and hollow structure was proposed. The formation of the unique structure can be attributed to the local existence of liquid phase because of the volatilization of Li element. As the anode ma...

S-doped carbon is investigated as a high-performance anode material for sodium-ion batteries. Due to the introduction of a high-content of S atoms, the as-obtained S-doped carbon shows an enlarged interlayer distance. As an anode, a high specific capacity of up to 303 mAh g-1 is achieved, even after 700 cycles at 0.5 A g-1.

Graphene oxide-wrapped amorphous copper vanadium oxide is fabricated through a template-engaged redox reaction followed by vacuum dehydration. This material exhibits high reversible capacity, excellent rate capability, and out standing high-rate cyclability. The outstanding performance is attributed to the fast capacitive charge storage and the in situ formed copper with enhanced electrical con...

Economic efficiency in using the solar panels as DC sources for impressed current cathodic protection of offshore structures was compared with sacrificial anode protection. The calculation based on example a sheet pile wall surface area 2000 m2 protected by various methods protection: powered rectifier device, batteries, without batteries and results showed that cost is lowest after 10 years op...
