Processes on aluminium on the negative side of the open-circuit potential

Cathodic current—time transients were recorded on high-purity aluminium immersed into a neutral 2 M NaCl solution, when subjected to a potential pulse from a potential around the open-circuit potential, to different negative values. Hydration of the oxide layer occurs at potentials more negative than −1700 mV vs. SCE, whereupon hydrogen is evolved at the metal—hydrated oxide interface. A linear Tafel function is obtained for the maximum current attained in that potential region with a slope of 110 mV dec⁻¹ indicating that the Volmer reaction is the rate-determining step, and the exchange current density for hydrogen evolution at aluminium is estimated at 5 × 10⁻¹¹ A cm⁻². Anodic current responses to the return of the potential to the rest values were also recorded at three different time scales. The presence of some substances, formed at the more negative potentials, other than gaseous hydrogen, was detected and their dependence on potential and cathodic pulse duration is discussed.

Simulation Analysis on the Profiles of Droplets Wetting on the Substrates

To study the structural characteristics and physical properties of droplets sitting on the inclined substrates and cylindrical surfaces, wetting experiments are conducted in different cases. The profile curves of the droplets are recorded and extracted by a CCD camera and image processing, respectively. Contact angles are figured out by fitting the profile curves and taking the derivative at the front and rear triple points. Based on the experimental results, a Surface Evolver is employed to simulate the morphological changes by minimizing the total energy of the system. Furthermore, theoretical shapes and feature parameters, including the heights and the spreading distances of the droplets, which are hard to obtain by normal experimental measurements are provided. The contact-angle hysteresis when the heavy droplet sitting on the inclined substrate is discussed. Meanwhile, the evolutions of the contour of the three-phase contact line are predicted when heavy droplets spread on the convex and concave cylindrical surfaces, respectively. This study provides a finite-element analysis method to describe the surface properties of molten droplets on different substrates, and the simulation results agree well with the experimental results.     

DFT Study on the Effect of Hydrogen-bond Formation on the Adsorption of Aminotriazines on Graphene

DFT calculations have been performed to explore the aminotriazine adsorption on graphene surfaces.Relative energies,equilibrium geometries and electronic structures of monomer and dimer of aminotriazine molecules adsorbed at the surface were investigated and analyzed in details.It was found that the hydrogen atoms in the NH2 group of aminotriazine molecules are directed toward the graphene surface,and the adsorption energy increases as the NH2 group is added.The adsorbed aminotriazine molecules facilely form a dimer through the hydrogen bonding interactions,and the two aromatic rings of optimized structure of 2-amino-1,3,5-triazine(B) dimmer(denoted by B2) and melamine(D) dimmer(denoted by D2) are parallel to the graphene sheet.The large deviation of the averaged adsorption energy of B2 and D2 compared to monor adsorption may reflect the increase of π-π repulsion and the effect of hydrogen bond formation.The electronic structure analyses reveal that the formation of hydrogen bonds in melamine dimer has great influence on the adsorption mode at the graphene surface.     

On the reasons for the discrepancies in the data on methanol adsorption on platinum

In the voluminous and valuable information obtained by the radioactive tracers method on the adsorption of organic substances, some data are at variance with the results of the electrochemical methods. The most typical in this respect are the data on methanol adsorption on platinum.A comparative study of methanol adsorption by the radioactive tracers method with the use of ¹⁴C and by the electrochemical methods has shown that the reason of the discrepancies in these data is the presence of impurities containing ¹⁴C in labeled methanol samples. It is suggested that these impurities are autoradiolysis products.     

Investigations on the influence of the substrate on the crystal structure of sputtered LiCoO2

The influence of the uppermost substrate layer on the structural properties of sputtered lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO₂) is discussed in this work. For this purpose, bare, oxidized, and platinum-coated silicon wafers, as well as stainless steel and titanium sheets, were used as substrates. The resulting crystal structure of LiCoO₂ deposited on these substrates was analyzed and discussed. The LiCoO₂ thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering with different film thicknesses. A subsequent annealing step at 700 °C was performed to induce the crystallinity of LiCoO₂. The crystal orientation was determined by X-ray diffraction. The obtained results show a strong dependency of LiCoO₂'s crystal structure on the surface the film is deposited on. However, the strong influence of the film thickness reported in previous publications could not be observed. If LiCoO₂ is deposited on the substrates with a metallic surface, a strong (003) preferential orientation is obtained for a wide range of film thicknesses. In contrast, sputtering of LiCoO₂ on bare and on oxidized silicon wafers results in a (101) dominated crystal structure for the different film thicknesses. These experiments show the importance of the characterization of LiCoO₂'s crystal structure in the intended battery setup.     

Microcalorimetric investigations on the influence of propolis on the bacterium micrococcus luteus

Propolis or bee-glue is the third important product of honey bees after honey and wax. Known for thousands of years for its curative effects it is finding evermore attention in alternative and classical therapy in recent times against, e.g. infections, inflammations, dermatologic diseases and in wound healing.

Microcalorimetric experiments were performed on the influence of several propolis samples from Germany, Uruguay, Ethiopia and of a commercial propolis tincture on growth and metabolism of the recommended gram-positive bacterium Micrococcus luteus. Propolis extracts were prepared following established recipies for the water-soluble and insoluble components and the precipitate.

Addition of these extracts to a growing M. luteus culture in different growth phases resulted in a strong decline of the heat production rate, a prolongation of the lag phase or an introduction of a new, second lag phase, while the form of the calorimetric power-time curve remained unchanged. The calorimetric response showed a linear dependence on the propolis concentration. Although the quantitative gain of the extracts from the different propolis samples was nearly constant, the effects varied considerably between the specimens used.

The calorimetric investigations were supplemented by polarographic oxygen monitoring and by the standard agar well technique to determine the growth inhibition factor of the propolis extracts.

Study on the stability of the serotonin and on the determination of its acidity constants

The present work aimed at describing the spectral behaviour of the serotonin and to evaluate its acidity constants using three different methods, using two spectrophotometry titrations and a third method that involved point-by-point analysis, which permitted to monitor closely and determine the evolution of the serotonin species in solution as a function of time. The three methods allowed estimation of three acidity constants associated to the same number of functional groups that form part of the molecule. The results given by the point-by-point analysis were: log(beta1) = 24.95 +/- 0.12; log(beta2) = 20.20 +/- 0.10; log(beta3) = 10.89 +/- 0.018.

Quantum calculations on the adsorption of halide ions on the noble metals

The interaction of halide ions with the three noble metals has been investigated using the B3LYP density functional method and the cluster model approximation. The results of calculations for the M—X⁻ and M₁₂—X⁻ (M = Cu, Ag, Au; X = F, Cl, Br, I) systems are presented. At the (100) surface, modeled in the present work by the M₁₂ cluster, all halide ions have been found to adsorb preferentially at the hollow site, followed by the bridge and by the top positions. The adsorption energy has been found to decrease when going from fluoride to iodide in both atom—ion and cluster—ion cases. The opposite trend is observed for the estimates of the charge transfer from the ions to the surface. When different metals are compared, the M₁₂—X⁻ interaction energies decrease in the order Au > Ag > Cu, but for the smaller ions some deviations from this line do appear. The relative values of the calculated harmonic vibrational frequencies do agree with those found experimentally, but their magnitude is much smaller as a result of the effect of the lower surface coverage.
