Results from potentiodynamic polarization showed that inhibition efficiency of three compounds increased upon increasing of the inhibitor concentration and they are acting as mixed type inhibitors, having dominant anodic reactions. Adsorption of all compounds follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with moderate values of free energy of adsorption. Quantum chemical calculation using DFT/B3LYP method confirmed a strong bond between meso-tetraphenyl-porphyrins and mild steel surface. The inhibition mechanism was also determined by the potential of zero charge (PZC) measurement at the metal/solution interface.","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86003104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, ET properties of GL modified GR interface are still not known completely. These can be achieved using density functional theory-based models. Modelling of modified carbon electrode interfaces is essential in electroanalytical chemistry to get insights into their electronic and redox properties. Here we have modelled glycine modified graphene interface to find out its interfacial redox ET properties. Conceptual density functional theory concepts like frontier molecular orbital (FMO) theory and analytical Fukui functions were utilized to predict the ET sites on the modified graphene surface. It is shown that at the glycine-modified graphene interface, amine groups act as additional oxidation sites and carboxylic acid groups as additional reduction sites. Therefore, glycine acts as an ET mediator at the graphene-based electrode interface. The obtained results are well supported by previously published experimental reports.","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76460338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Distinct properties of cladded surfaces, such as mechanical as well as metallurgical properties, were investigated. The influence of slurry erosion parameters like angle of impact and impact velocity of eroded particles on the cladded as well as uncladded steel specimen was analysed. Under all slurry erosion conditions, there was an escalation in slurry erosion resistance in the case of cladded steel as that of as-received steel specimens. In slurry erosion, the influence of the impact velocity of erodent particles is more against the impact angle. The scanning electron microscopy images of eroded uncoated steel specimens represent ductile behaviour along with the formation lip, ploughing etc., while eroded cladded steels exhibit brittle behaviour.","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80963133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deployment of electrolysis for H2 production is now closer to reality than ever before. Yet, several challenges associated with production cost, infrastructure, safety, storage, and so forth remain to be addressed. One of the overriding challenges is the production cost caused by a platinum electrode. To overcome such limitations, developing low-cost and stable electrocatalysts very close to the same electrode activity as platinum (Pt) metal is crucial to solving the efficiency issue in the process. Therefore, this review is in the direction of designing binary and ternary alloys of transition metal-based electrocatalysts anchored on carbon and focuses more on routes to enhance the performance of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The strategic routes to reduce overpotential and enhance electrocatalysts performance are discussed thoroughly in the light of HER mechanism and its derived descriptor.","PeriodicalId":15660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72380108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
