Structural and electrochemical studies of annealed LiNiVO4 thin films

We prepared stoichiometric lithium nickel vanadate amorphous thin films by using r.f. magnetron sputtering under controlled oxygen partial pressure. The amorphous films were heated at various temperatures, 300–600 °C, for 8 h. The as‐deposited and annealed thin films were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, nuclear reaction analysis, Auger electron spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The electrochemical behavior of the various films was studied by the galvanostatic method. The cells were tested in a liquid electrolyte at room temperature, with lithium metal used as the counter and reference electrode. The best electrochemical storage value was obtained with the thin film annealed at 300 °C, which showed superior capacity and small capacity loss during cycling.

Vapor pressure,speciation, and chemical activities in highly concentrated sodium borate solutions at 277 and 317°C

The system H₂O-B₂O₃-Na₂O has been studied experimentally at 277 and 317°C. The activities of water and boric acid have been determined at mole ratios Na/B from 0 to 1.5, and total dissolved solids 3 to 80 weight percent. The activity of boric acid has been fitted to within experimental error using a speciation model with eight complex species. This model is consistent with the model previously published by Mesmer et al. The electrolyte properties of the liquid are modeled using the Pitzer-Simonson model of very concentrated electrolyte solutions. The calculated values of water activity agree with experiment, and the activity of NaOH and pOH have also been calculated. The potassium borate system also was briefly studied at 317°C, and is adequately described by a model with five complex species. The potassium borate liquid is more alkaline at K/B= 1 than a sodium borate liquid at the same mole ratio, but pOH in the two systems is the same at lower mole ratios.     

Temperature programmed reduction of silica supported nickel catalysts

Nickel oxide promoted catalysts are prepared by simple precipitation, precipitation from homogeneous solution and impregnation methods and their reduction behavior is monitored with temperature programmed reduction (TPR) technique. The effect of different parameters such as metal loading, method of preparation and heat treatment temperature are also observed on the reducibility of the catalysts. It is observed that reduction temperature increases with the increase of calcination temperature. Results indicate that the interactions between nickel oxide and silica begin with the increase of calcination temperature which leads to the formation of nickel hydrosilicates and are responsible for high temperature reduction peaks.

Re-Evaluation of the Activity Coefficients of Aqueous Hydrochloric Acid Solutions up to a Molality of 2.0 Using Two-Parameter Hückel and Pitzer Equations. Part I. Results at 25°C

Simple two-parameter Hückel and Pitzer equations were used for the calculation of the activity coefficients of aqueous hydrochloric acid at 25°C up to a molality of 2.0 mol-kg^–1. The data obtained by Harned and Ehlers^(12,13) from galvanic cells without liquid junction were used in the analysis and the parameters obtained were compared to those obtained from all reliable data presented in the literature for HCl at this temperature. A good agreement between the parameters was always observed. The activity coefficients obtained by the new equations were compared to those suggested by Robinson and Stokes,⁽⁸⁾ Hamer and Wu,⁽¹⁾ and Pitzer and Mayorga,⁽⁹⁾ and good agreement was also found. The data from the most important literature data sets for HCl were also predicted using the new activity coefficient equations, and the magnitude of the resulting errors was close to the precision of the measurements, the errors forming an almost random pattern for all data sets.

Study on the electroreduction of In(III) ions at gold from acidic bromide solutions by the rotating ring-disc electrode technique

The mechanism of the indium electrodeposition on gold from acidic KBr solutions has been investigated by means of the rotating ring-disc electrode technique. The measurements showed that the overall electrode reaction In(III) + 3 e In consists of two successive charge transfer steps, i.e. In(III) + 2 e In(I) and In(I) + e In, with soluble monovalent indium as an intermediate. The current efficiency for In(I) generation under steady-state conditions is 100% in the case of low disc current densities. The disproportionation of In(I) in the bulk of solution occurs in slightly acidified solutions,pH=2, in addition to the In(I) electrochemical reduction. Based on the ring current transients, it was established that the two-electron transfer step is preceded by the formation of a thin passive film of indium metal.

Untersuchung der elektrochemischen Reduktion von In(III)-Ionen an Gold in sauren Bromidlösungen mit der rotierenden Ring-Scheiben-Elektrode

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der rotierenden Ring-Scheiben-Elektrode wurde der Mechanismus der kathodischen Abscheidung von Indium auf Gold in sauren KBr-Lösungen untersucht. Aus den Messungen folgt, daß die Bruttoreaktion In(III) + 3e In über zwei aufeinanderfolgende Durchtrittsreaktionen, In(III) + 2 e In(I) und In(I) + e In, mit löslichem einwertigem Indium als Zwischenprodukt abläuft. Bei kleinen Stromdichten werden die In(I)-Ionen mit 100%iger Stromausbeute erzeugt. In schwächer sauren Lösungen (pH=2) konnte außer der elektrochemischen Reduktion von In(I) zusätzlich dessen Disproportionierung innerhalb der Lösung ermittelt werden. Auf Grund der Ringstrom-Zeit-Kurven wurde auch festgestellt, daß die Bildung von einer dünnen In-Metallschicht, die ein passives Verhalten aufweist, dem Zweielektronenübergang vorangegangen ist.
