Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) experiments were undertaken to study the EC’mechanism, e.g. where a product of the electrode reaction reacts to regenerate the starting material. Digital simulations of the two dimensional SECM were carried out and the results tested with the known EC’ system of Fe(CN)6 / cysteine for validation. The results were then used in SECM experiments with Ru(p...

N,S,Fe-doped graphene nanosheets were directly synthesized from aminothiazole, a precursor molecule that contains N and S atoms, through Fe catalysis under heat treatment. The graphene nanosheets exhibited high electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reaction in both acidic and alkaline media during rotating disk electrode half-cell and fuel cell tests.

In the present paper, the electrochemical properties of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) as highly sensitive sensors for the simultaneous determination of hydrazine and hydroxylamine was described. The electrochemical behavior of hydrazine and hydroxylamine was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and differentia...

Carbon nanotubes and other forms of carbon nanoparticles, as well as metal nanoparticles have been widely used in film electrochemistry because they allow for the immobilization of larger amounts of catalyst (either biological or inorganic) on the top of the modified electrodes. Nevertheless, those nanoparticles present high costs of synthesis and of separation and purification that hamper thei...

Background & Aims of the Study: Detergent and phosphate are one of the main and vital threats (eutrophication phenomenon and production of synthetic foam) for the source of drinking water, agriculture and industrial uses in the Ahvaz, Iran that threaten human health. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the efficiency of the electrocoagulation...

A method for the potentiometric determination of bromate by circulatory flow injection analysis (CFIA) is described. The procedure involves the use of an Fe(III)-Fe(II) potential buffer solution, which is recycled via a reservoir. The analytical method is based on a linear relationship between the concentration of bromate and a very transient potential change in the electrode potential due to t...

The influence of the finite thickness and structure, amorphous or crystalline, of Fe electrodes on the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio is investigated by ab initio calculations in Fe/MgO/Fe tunnel junctions. An amorphous Fe layer in direct contact with the MgO barrier causes a low TMR ratio of only 44%. By inserting crystalline Fe monolayers between the barrier and the amorphous Fe the ...

An amperometric flow biosensor for oxalate determination in urine samples after enzymatic reaction with oxalate oxidase immobilized on a modified magnetic solid is described. The solid was magnetically retained on the electrode surface of an electrode modified with Fe (III)-tris-(2-thiopyridone) borate placed into a sequential injection system preceding the amperometric detector. The variables ...

In the present study, as a fundamental study for recycling Nd from Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet scrap, electrochemical Nd-alloying behavior of Fe was investigated in molten LiF-CaF 2 -NdF 3 (0.3 or 0.5 mol%) system at 1123 K. Herein, equilibrium potential 3+ /Nd determined 0.18 V (vs Li + /Li) by open-circuit potentiometry using Mo electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and were conducted an electrode, resu...

We investigated the effect of a thin MgO underlying layer (~3 monoatomic layers) on the growth of GaOx tunnel barrier in Fe/GaOx/(MgO)/Fe(001) magnetic tunnel junctions. To obtain a single-crystalline barrier, an in situ annealing was conducted with the temperature being raised up to 500 °C under an O₂ atmosphere. This annealing was performed after the deposition of the GaOx on the Fe(001) bott...
