This method has great promise for studying electrochemical processes, since it allows one to determine the composition of the electrolyte in a thin near-electrode layer during electrode polarization. It was demonstrated that aluminum has SERS-activity in a chloroaluminate ionic liquid based on Et₃NHCl. It was shown using in situ SERS that the intensity of peaks associated with the <span>({text{AlCl}}_{4}^{-})</span> ion increased and the intensity of peaks associated with Al₂<span>({text{Cl}}_{7}^{-})</span> ion decreased upon increasing the cathodic polarization. The reverse process was observed during anodic polarization of the electrode, i.e., the content of <span>({text{AlCl}}_{4}^{-})</span> ions decreased and the concentration of Al₂<span>({text{Cl}}_{7}^{-})</span> increased. The concentrations of chloroaluminate anions in the near-electrode layer did not change at cathodic overpotentials above the overpotential of reaching the limiting current and at anodic overpotentials above the passivation overpotential. The obtained dependences of the relative intensities of <span>({text{AlCl}}_{4}^{-})</span> and Al₂<span>({text{Cl}}_{7}^{-})</span> peaks on the electrode overpotential correlated with the stationary polarization curves. It was experimentally proved that passivation of an aluminum electrode during anodic dissolution was caused by the formation of aluminum chloride on the electrode surface.</p>","PeriodicalId":609,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Spectroscopy","volume":"91 6","pages":"1203 - 1208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improving both imaging speed and quality has become a research hotspot for this field in recent years. In this study, a terahertz single-pixel imaging system with Hadamard spatial encoding was constructed by using optically induced semiconductor materials to perform THz wave modulation. Sparse coding was added to the system’s reconstruction algorithm to enhance imaging quality. Numerous image patches were then collected from a natural image set to train an overcomplete dictionary and each patch in the measured image was reconstructed through sparse representation. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the reconstruction performances of different algorithms were compared under various conditions (i.e., with sampling rates varying from 5 to 100% and with noise levels within a signal-to-noise ratio range of 10–50 dB). The proposed algorithm, in combination with sparse representation of an overcomplete dictionary, showed a higher peak signal-to-noise ratio and a lower mean square error than both the inverse Hadamard transform (IHT) and TVAL3 algorithms. Finally, THz imaging experiments were performed to validate the algorithm’s reconstruction performance at sub-Nyquist sampling rates. The experimental and simulation results coincided closely, thus indicating that the use of the proposed algorithm enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed image, reduces its mean square error, and retains greater image detail.
