Abstract Zinc is recently gaining interest in the battery community as potential alternative anode material, because of its large natural abundance and potentially larger volumetric density than graphite. Nevertheless, pure Zn anodes have shown so far very poor cycling performance. Here, electrochemical performance Zn‐rich porous Cu–Zn alloys electrodeposited by an environmentally friendly (aqueous) dynamic hydrogen bubble template method reported. The lithiation/delithiation mechanism...
Compact and porous Cu-Zn alloys were electrodeposited from citrate baths. The latter deposits, consisting of a spongy material with macroscopic interconnected porosity (pore diameter tens microns), obtained at large current densities (−3 A cm−2) causing strong hydrogen evolution. Porous deposits compositions between Cu62Zn38 Cu91Zn9 by varying the ions concentrations in deposition baths, optimal morphology for Cu70Zn30 composition. lattice parameter samples, estimated XRD data, showed...
Homo- and hetero-binuclear lanthanide(III) complexes with the macrocyclic ligand H2L1 derived from condensation of 4-chloro-2,6-diformylphenol polyamine NH2(CH2)2O(CH2)2O(CH2)2NH2 have been synthesized: [Ln2L1(NO3)4]·nH2O (Ln = La, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, or Dy; n= 1 2) [LnxLn′2 –xL1(NO3)4]·nH2O (Ln,Ln′= La,Sm; La,Gd; La,Dy; La,Eu; Dy,Gd; Dy,Eu; Gd,Eu; Gd,Tb; Eu,Tb; La,Tb; 2). Their possible structure interaction between metal ions are discussed on basis spectroscopic, mass spectrometric,...
This paper describes the construction and characterization of an electrochemical nitrate biosensor based on ultrathin-film composite membrane concept. The is prepared by electropolymerization a thin anion-permselective coating 1-methyl-3-(pyrrol-1-ylmethyl)pyridinium across surface microporous support membrane. film separates analyte solution from internal sensing which contains enzyme reductase electrocatalyst (methyl viologen). ultrathin prevents loss these components solution, yet allows...
Mononuclear copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes [M(H2LA)] have been obtained by reaction of the appropriate metal acetate with potentially hexadentate compartmental ligand H4LA, prepared condensation 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde ethylenediamine. Physicochemical data suggest ion is in inner N2O2 compartment. An X-ray investigation on [Cu(H2LA)] showed that crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pnca, a= 19.381(5), b= 15.327(4), c= 10.158(4)Å for Z= 8 confirms occupancy which exhibits an almost...
Cu-Ni alloy layers with a bimodal porosity – spongy material made of submicron dendrites, featuring macroscopic pores tens microns large can be deposited from baths containing the metal ions, sodium citrate and ammonium sulfate, using current densities (−3 A cm−2) producing vigorous hydrogen evolution. Alloys broad range compositions are obtained different Cu(II)/Ni(II) concentration ratios. Voltammetric experiments nitrate reduction at compact porous RDEs show, in latter case, lower...
