(author), Zanella, Caterina (author), Cojocaru, Anca (author), Anicai, Liana (author), Visan, Teodor (author), Enachescu, Marius (author)In this work we present the pulsed current (PC) electrodeposition of Sn-Cu-Ni alloy as lead-free solder candidate, from choline chloride – ethylene glycol eutectic mixtures (1:2 molar ratio) onto copper metallic substrates. Electrolytes containing Sn<sup>2+</sup>, Cu<sup>2+</sup> and Ni<sup>2+</sup> salts in the selected deep eutectic solvent...journal article 2024

Vega, Jesús Manuel (author), Ganborena, Larraitz (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author), Özkaya, Berkem (author), Grande, Hans Jürgen (author), García-Lecina, Eva (author)The impact of the pH on the corrosion of microporous nickel-chromium coatings has been explored at localised scale by Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy and validated by potentiodynamic polarisation measurements. Results not only reveal the correlation between both techniques but also enables to identify the different corrosion rate after...journal article 2023

(author), De Strycker, Joost (author), Hauffman, Tom (author), Pantleon, Karen (author)Electrodeposition from an environmentally friendly iron sulfate electrolyte with citric acid as carbon source has gained attention recently, because of excellent mechanical properties of the resulting Fe–C coatings with intentionally codeposited high-carbon concentrations. While being very attractive as protective coatings and sustainable...journal article 2023

Okonkwo, Bright O. (author), Jeong, Chaewon (author), Lee, Hyeon Bae (author), Jang, Changheui (author), Rahimi, E. (author), Davoodi, Ali (author)In this study, we developed and optimized a trivalent chromium coating electrodeposited on 304L stainless steel (SS) from a Cr-trivalent bath. The results reveal that the Cr coatings at all bath temperatures except for 80 °C showed clusters of polyhedral grains, however, the grain sizes decreased with an increase in bath temperature. Also,...journal article 2023

Gupta, Siddharth (author)Rapid industrialization and use of carbon based fuels has caused a drastic increase in the atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> levels in the last few decades. The rising anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> levels pose a significant threat to the environment as evidenced by the increase in the mean global temperature levels, and the rising ocean levels. To...master thesis 2020

(author)Li and Na metals have the highest theoretical anode capacity for Li/Na batteries, but the operational safety hazards stemming from uncontrolled growth of Li/Na dendrites and unstable electrode-electrolyte interfaces hinder their real-world applications. Recently, the emergence of 3D conductive scaffolds aimed at mitigating the dendritic...journal article 2018

(author)Anodic aluminum oxide was formed by employing mild and hard anodizing in sulfuric acid followed by mild anodizing in oxalic acid without oxide removal in-between at 40 and 45 V. Such multi-step anodizing, combining hard anodizing in sulfuric acid with mild anodizing in oxalic acid allowed to form a highly-ordered nanoporous template with a...journal article 2018

Ros, C.H. (author)Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 is one possibility to solve the electrical energy storage problem and decrease the amount of CO2. Copper is the only metal that has been reported to produce hydrocarbons in the electrochemical CO2 reduction at ambient pressure and temperature. External parameters (potential, temperature and electrolyte), copper...doctoral thesis 2016

Enache, C.S. (author)For centuries, mankind has mostly used fossil fuels, i.e., natural gas, coal, and oil for its energy needs. With the fast rise of the world population and the rising standards of living in the developing countries, the amount of energy the world is going to need in the coming decades will grow enormously. Due to environmental concerns and the...doctoral thesis 2012

Stachewicz, U. (author), Yurteri, C.U. (author), Marijnissen, J.C.M. (author), Dijksman, J.F. (author)This study demonstrates that the hydrodynamic phenomena taking place inside the capillary limits the frequency range of voltage pulses for stable single event electrospraying (SEE), when the meniscus/cone size is defined by the inner diameter of the nozzle. For the analysis of SEE, we used a one-dimensional model describing the displacement and...journal article 2009

Kervennic, Y.V. (author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Morpurgo, A.F. (author), Gurevich, L. (author), Kouwenhoven, L.P. (author)We have fabricated pairs of platinum electrodes with separation between 20 and 3.5 nm. Our technique combines electron beam lithography and chemical electrodeposition. We show that the measurement of the conductance between the two electrodes through the electrolyte provides an accurate and reproducible way to control their separation. We have...journal article 2002
