In that sense, the electrochemical methods become a promising strategy to generate different types of structures, by selecting appropriately the processing variables. For that reason, a comparative analysis of the synthesis of bimetallic Cu-Cd nanoparticles using sequential electrodeposition and co-electrodeposition was performed. In the first method, metal deposits are prepared sequentially, by potentiostatic pulses applied from different solutions containing the individual metal ions, while the co-deposition method was implemented with both constituents provided from the same solution. Scanning electron microscopy images of the deposits prepared by sequential deposition of Cu, followed by Cd, showed flower-like structures, presenting an appreciable symmetry. The co-deposited crystals also showed a greater number of smaller nanoparticles and achieved a higher coverage percentage. Anodic linear sweep voltammetry analysis of the Cd-Cu nanoparticles/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite systems revealed different peaks associated with the dissolution of Cd and Cu deposits as well as peaks related to different alloyed phases. In the bimetallic system formed by sequential deposition, the Cu₅Cd₈ and Cu₄Cd₃ phases were identified, while in that obtained by co-deposition, the CuCd₃ and Cu₄Cd₃ phases were evidenced, showing a greater tendency towards alloying. These alloyed phases were also confirmed by constant-current stripping experiments. The formation of a Cd-Cu alloy could also be inferred by Density Functional Theory calculations.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry","volume":"29 5","pages":"1593 - 1609"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822028","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}

The differential charge density map and atomic population indicated obvious electron transfer between the adsorbed atom and monolayer, which proved that there is some chemisorption.

One way of meeting that rising demand is to design LIBs with thicker electrodes. Increasing electrode thickness can enhance the energy density of LIBs at the cell level by reducing the ratio of inactive materials in the cell. However, after a certain value of electrode thickness, the rate of energy density increase becomes slower. On the other hand, the impact of associated limitations becomes stronger, reducing the practical applicability of LIBs with thicker electrodes. Hence, an optimum value of thickness is of utmost importance for the practicability of thicker electrode design. In this paper, both the cathode thickness and the anode thickness of an NCM LIB cell were optimized by applying response surface methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken design (BBD) to maximize the energy density. Moreover, the influence of electrode porosity, together with the interaction of porosity with cathode and anode thickness, was incorporated into the optimization. A full factorial design of 3-level, 3-factor was used to generate 15 simulation conditions in accordance with the design of experiment (DoE) achieved through BBD. Then, those conditions were used to achieve 15 responses by simulating a reduced-order electrochemical model. Finally, the statistical technique analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze and validate the results of RSM. The results show that the RSM-BBD optimization method, coupled with ANOVA, has successfully optimized the thicknesses of both positive and negative electrodes for maximum energy density, despite the nonlinearity of the electrochemical system. The findings suggest an optimized cathode thickness of 401.56 µm and anode thickness of 186.36 µm for a maximum energy density of 292.22 of an NCM LIB cell, while electrode porosity is preferred to be 0.2.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry","volume":"29 2","pages":"753 - 768"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10008-024-06109-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143109124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The addition of corrosion inhibitors to the environment is a simple and effective protective measure. This study introduces a compound corrosion inhibitor that combines inorganic and organic components, providing resistance to salts, high temperatures, and environmental factors. The corrosion inhibition of AZ91D magnesium alloy using a sodium silicate/triethanolamine compound inhibitor in 50% glycol coolant was investigated through electrochemical analysis, morphology characterization, and weight loss analysis. The results demonstrated that the sodium silicate/triethanolamine inhibitor effectively prevented corrosion of AZ91D magnesium alloy in 50% ethylene glycol, achieving a maximum inhibition efficiency of 96.4% with 2 g/L sodium silicate and 3 mL/L triethanolamine. The inhibitor exhibited continued effectiveness at elevated temperatures and showed minimal impact from external ions, providing strong protection for AZ91D magnesium alloy in glycol coolant. The outstanding performance can be attributed to the synergistic interaction of triethanolamine and sodium silicate, which form a protective film on the alloy’s surface. This compound inhibitor exhibits promising potential for safeguarding AZ91D magnesium alloy in similar environments. Furthermore, the proposed mechanism elucidates how the sodium silicate/triethanolamine mixture mitigates galvanic corrosion in the AZ91D magnesium alloy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry","volume":"29 2","pages":"743 - 752"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143109123","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}

In an attempt to reduce costs and enhance manufacturing flexibility, additive manufacturing has been investigated as a relevant alternative for untethered microrobots production. Between the large number of additive manufacturing technologies, inkjet printing is relatively poorly investigated for the production of this kind of devices, and the present work aims at exploring its potential. The work establishes a comparison between different approaches for the inkjet manufacturing of magnetically guidable microdevices. In particular, it focuses on the manufacturing of fully inkjet-printed magnetic devices by proposing two methods of production. The first consists in the electroless metallization of non-magnetic devices printed with SU-8 resin, while the second is based on the inkjet printing of a dispersion of magnetic nanoparticles in SU-8 resin. As a result, inkjet-printed devices controllable by an external magnetic field can be obtained.
