This study presents the synthesis of Sr-modified ZnS quantum dots (Sr@ZnS QDs) via a thermal decomposition method and their application as an innovative sensing material for the electrochemical detection of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. The synthesized Sr@ZnS QDs exhibit nanoscale uniformity, high crystallinity, and abundant catalytic active sites, making them ideal candidates for sensor applications. The Sr@ZnS QDs were integrated into screen-printed carbon electrodes, resulting in sensors with exceptional performance. Electrochemical analyses, including cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry, demonstrated a broad linear detection range (1–80 mM), high sensitivity (12.68 μA·mM⁻¹·cm⁻²), and a low detection limit (75.9 μM) at neutral pH. The Sr@ZnS QDs sensor showed excellent selectivity, effectively discriminating H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> from common interfering species such as NaCl, glucose, and hexane. Furthermore, the proposed catalytic mechanism revealed that the interaction of Sr²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> plays a pivotal role in enhancing the redox reactions. This work introduces Sr@ZnS QDs as a promising material for the development of cost-effective, portable, and high-performance electrochemical sensors. The findings not only advance the field of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> sensing but also open new possibilities for the broader application of Sr@ZnS QDs in environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and industrial process control.","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work evaluated the efficiency of the electrical resistivity measurement in follow-up remediation of soil contaminated with hydrocarbons due to fuel theft actions by comparing the results obtained with those observed in the Soxhlet chemical extraction test. The treatment was carried out using electro-phytoremediation as an environmental technique in a Leptosol, with the removal of 40% of the hydrocarbon achieved during 55 days of treatment. Performing a statistical analysis, a positive correlation coefficient greater than 0.70 was determined in all soil samples studied. This corroborated the high relationship between the electrical resistivity variables and the mass of hydrocarbons g<sup>−1</sup> of soil, maintaining that the soil resistivity values increase in the presence of hydrocarbon from a recent spill, which generated hydrophobicity and blocking of porous, in consequence, reduction of the ionic conduction and cationic exchange capacity of soil by the aggregation of particles.

Thus, developing a highly active, durable, and binder-free anode is beneficial for advancing alkaline water electrolysis for broader applications. This study presents a new yet effective surface sulfidation method for converting commercial FeNiCo alloy, Kovar, into highly active, stable, and binder-free OER electrodes. This surface sulfidation step leads not only to enhanced electrochemically active surface area but also to surface enrichment of Ni, higher oxidation states of Ni and Fe, and sulfur incorporation into lattice oxygen, which enhances the formation of (oxy)hydroxide and modulates the binding energy of *OH intermediate species. Hence, the surface sulfidized Kovar electrode demonstrated a significant enhancement in OER performance, with an overpotential as low as 261 mV at 10 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> (compared to 345 mV at 10 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> for as-received Kovar), a Tafel slope of ∼ 40 mV/dec, and robust stability over 120 hours in 1 M KOH. Thus, our surface sulfidation technique facilitates using commercial alloys as self-sufficient anodes without binders and catalysts for alkaline water electrolysis.","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143734428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the conversion of stale bread into spongy carbon materials, which were evaluated as adsorbents for the removal of cationic dyes and electrodes for supercapacitors. The physical and chemical properties of the material were characterized using standard techniques. In particular, activated carbon produced at 900°C showed a balanced mixture of micropores and mesopores, with a high specific surface area of ∼1583 m² g<sup>-1</sup>, making it a low-cost effective adsorbent for the removal of crystal violet dye, showing an adsorption capacity of 753.9 mg g<sup>-1</sup>, optimal at 10 mg of adsorbent dose with only 10 min of contact time. It performed well in a wide pH range (2–12) and in saline solutions. Furthermore, the material demonstrated a single electrode specific capacitance of ∼155 F g<sup>-1</sup>, an energy density of 21.6 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup>, and a power density of 355.9 kW kg<sup>-1</sup> in supercapacitor applications. It exhibited high reversibility of charge-storage, retaining ∼85% of its capacitance after 15,000 cycles.

The primary aim is to optimise electrochemical process conditions for phosphate coating development, evaluating their effectiveness in terms of crystal formation, coating density, and corrosion resistance. Several experimental conditions were assessed, including temperatures ranging from 40 °C to 70 °C, treatment durations between 500 and 2000 s, and the influence of prior activation using a commercial Ti-phosphate activator. The experimental approaches included both galvanostatic and potentiostatic treatments, with sample characterisation performed via techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) to analyse coating morphology, chemical composition, and crystalline phase. Additionally, corrosion current density measurements were carried out to assess the electrochemical resistance of the coatings. The main conclusions are that higher temperatures (70 °C), though complete coverage is not achieved, enhance coating efficiency, that is lower corrosion rates were recorded. Hopeite predominates at lower temperatures, while scholzite is more common at higher temperatures. Treatment times above 1500 s at 70 °C do not lead to significant improvements, whereas treatment times over 2000 s at 50 °C would be suitable to produce efficient coatings.

Although various experimental studies have demonstrated the feasibility of this bioinspired power generation mechanism, key challenges, such as resistance to self-discharge and electrode interactions, remain underexplored. Addressing these challenges requires a deeper understanding of the functional roles of each system component and the underlying physics of their interactions. To investigate these limitations at a component level, we use a finite element model based on the Nernst–Planck and Butler–Volmer equations, which govern ion transport and electrode interactions in electrochemical cells. By visualizing ion movement and parameter influence on electrical performance, we provide insight into phenomena often challenging to quantify directly through experiments. Our findings reveal that increasing the fixed charge concentration in the selective layers increases discharge duration by nearly six-fold. We also identified key sources of inefficiencies related to ionic mobility and charge capacity at the electrode–electrolyte interface. Through experimental validation, we derive key input parameters from hydrogel-based electrochemical cells and formalize experimental protocols to improve data reliability, including equilibrating hydrogel layers at constant relative humidity. Additionally, we characterize the performance of electric fish-inspired power sources with battery-relevant metrics such as power density, discharge duration, and cycle life.

However, its performance is limited by its cycling stability. Approaches to remedy the various degradation mechanisms (pulverization, delamination and excessive solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation) include the use of silicon-carbon (Si/C) composites or the manufacturing of thin layers. In this study, two approaches were combined by producing alternating silicon and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layers using a spray-coating process. This allowed us to draw important conclusions regarding the relationship between the silicon layer thickness and the total silicon content of the electrode and the resulting degradation behavior. Moreover, this study examined the suitability of prelithiated polyacrylic acid (LiPAA) as binder for spray-coating and its electrochemical performance. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical microscopy cross-sections, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and galvanostatic cycling, it could be demonstrated that the silicon layer thickness is a limiting factor for a stable cycling performance and can therefore result in an inhomogeneous charge distribution within the electrode.
