Carbon nanotube field-effect devices with asymmetric electrode configuration by contact geometry
2014
We have studied experimentally the conductive properties of single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) based field-effect type devices, with different contact geometries at the connecting electrode. The device designs are asymmetric with one end of the SWNT having the metal electrode deposited on top and immersing it, while at the other end, the SWNT is on top of the electrode. The devices were made with either gold or palladium as electrode materials, of which the latter resulted in different behavior of the different contact types. This is argued to be caused by the existence of a thin insulating layer of surface adsorbents on the palladium, possibly Pd5O4, the effect of which is enhanced by th…
Electrolyses model development for metal/electrolyte interface: Testing with microrespiration sensors
2011
Abstract Initial process of electrolysis is investigated using platinum and tungsten wires as hydrogen electrodes and inductive kickback voltage peak based power unit. Microelectrodes are used to determine concentrations of dissolved hydrogen and pH close to wire electrodes. It is observed that concentration of dissolved hydrogen increases faster on tungsten electrode as on platinum. Authors explain this fact with differences of hydrogen evolution reaction on both materials – inductive kickback voltage peak power unit is supplying very short voltage pulses with limited energy what is enough only for hydrogen adsorption on platinum electrode, but is sufficient for full hydrogen evolution rea…
Electrochemical behaviour of poly(neutral red) on an ITO electrode
1998
Abstract The formation of a radical cation, by electrochemical oxidation of the neutral red dye in acidic aqueous solution, is controlled by diffusion towards the electrode surface. This is the initiation step of the electrogeneration, potentiostatic or potentiodynamic, of poly(neutral red) films on an indium–tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The polymeric film is a redox semi-conductor, and shows a microporous membrane-like character. Its electrochemical behaviour depends on the generation process. The hydrogen ions play a double role: first as reactants at electrochemical and acid–base equilibrium, second as counterions of the electrons. The global process of the electron-hopping is limited by t…
