As a result, the PTL is critical in ensuring the efficiency of the electrolyzing process. This work aims to produce titanium PTLs through the spark plasma sintering process. The sintering temperature was varied from 500 to 650°C to investigate the characteristics of the titanium PTL samples while maintaining the sintering pressure and holding time at 10 MPa and 10 min, respectively. The phase structure and morphology of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses. The compressive strength and the corrosion behaviour of the samples were investigated by the compressive testing and the electrochemical corrosion testing, respectively. The experimental results showed that there were no new phases formed when the Ti PTLs were sintered at different temperatures. With an increase in the sintering temperature, the porosity of the samples considerably decreased, while their compressive strength, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance increased. It is suggested that selecting the optimum sintering temperature for sintered samples can improve the mass transport behaviour in PEM electrolyzers and produce superior PTLs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":502,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Materials Science","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143109576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus the evolution of highly selective, affordable, rapid and effective analytical tools for the removal and detection of toxic heavy metal ions and organic compounds in aqueous environments is a challenging objective. Electrochemical detection of metal ions and organic compounds is a very useful and effective method, where modified electrodes with metal nanocomposite particles are used. Materials with high porosity, low-charge transfer resistance and large electroactive area are desirable for electrode modification in order to act as an efficient electrochemical sensor. It has been established that natural polysaccharide-based graft copolymers with acrylic monomers can be efficiently used as ‘bio-template’ for preparing mono and bimetallic/metal oxide composite nanoparticles for sensing and catalytic applications. This is because of the fact that polysaccharide-based graft copolymers are eco-friendly in nature and have the potential to act as reducing and stabilizing agents.
