gd2o3 nanoparticles were prepared by a two–step process; cathodic electrodeposition followed by heat-treatment method. first, gd(oh)3 nanoparticles was galvanostatically deposited from nitrate bath on the steel substrate by pulse current (pc) mode. the deposition experiments was conducted at a typical on-time and off-time (ton=1ms and toff=1ms) for 60 min. the electrodeposited precursor was the...

A review on pulse and pulse reverse techniques for electrodeposition have been attempted. Pulse electrodeposition (PED) of some metals and lloys are reported. The effects of mass, transport, electrical double layer pulse parameters and current distribution on surface roughness and orphology are presented. Applications, advantages and disadvantages of PC and PRC techniques are discussed along wi...

Watt’s bath and pulse reverse (PR) electrodeposition is used to produce spherical nickelmultiwall carbon nanotubes (Ni-MWCNT) of 2.00, 0.93, 1.63 and 6.71 μm diameter and a variety ofsize distributions. For 60 cycles, an absolute electrodeposition current of 18 A/dm2 is applied atcurrent ratios of ii = idissolution/ideposition = 0, 0.077, 0.200 and 0.368. A simple exponential equation isfitted ...

nicu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (aao) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of ni and cu and acidity of 3. the effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited nicu alloy nanowires. atomic forc...

Anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) templates for multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) growth were produced by anodization of aluminium followed by pulse-reverse electrodeposition of cobalt inside the AAO pores. Cobalt functioned as the catalyst for H2/C2H2 chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of fairly well graphitized MWCNTs initiating inside the majority of the AAO pores and quickly growing beyo...

A patterned coreeshell tin (Sn) nanorod anode is fabricated by pulse electrodeposition of Sn onto a selfassembled Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) structured nickel current collector. Pulse electrodeposition onto the virus assembled 3D electrode surfaces produces homogenous Sn coatings with significant void space to accommodate the large volume change associated with Sn lithiation. The TMV enabled 3D...

Electrochemical synthesis followed by heat-treatment is a facile and easy method for preparation of nanostructured metal oxides. Herein we report nanostructured Mn5O8 prepared through pulse cathodic deposition followed by heat-treatment for the first time. For the preparation of Mn5O8 nanorods, pulse cathodic electrodeposition was first done from 0.005M Mn(NO3)2 at the current density of 5 mA c...

Zinc-Nickel electrodeposits have been widely adopted for surface treatment of automobile steel sheet for high corrosion resistance. In this work the effect of pulse parameters on the Zn-Ni alloy electrodeposits was investigated. The hardness, thickness, corrosion resistance and composition of deposits thus produced were investigated. The surface topography of the deposits was also observed in S...

In NaCl-KCl-NaF-V2O3 molten salt, used graphite as an anode and carbon steel plate a cathode, vanadium was successfully prepared by salt electrodeposition. The reduction mechanism of electrodeposition is discussed, the influence NaF content, current density, temperature, time on are studied. optimum conditions obtained: composition XNaCl = 0.4, XKCl XNaF 0.2, V2O3 15%; adopt bidirectional pulse...

comparison of the effects of two substrates and additives on pulse current electrodeposition of au nanoparticles showed that using indium-tin oxide instead of cu and cysteine instead of potassium iodide can improve morphology, current efficiency, photocatalytic effect and increase the number of nanocrystals. the examinations using the field-emission scanning-electron-microscope (fe-sem) showed ...
