Investigation on the formation of RuO2 film electrode by secondary ion mass spectrometry

Secondary ion mass spectrometric investigation on ruthenium oxide systems: a comparison between poly- and nanocrystalline deposits

“…Firstly, a RuCl 3 ·3H 2 O isopropanolic solution was applied drop‐by‐drop onto the metal support, removing the solvent by hot dry air (the procedure was repeated until the layers were about 500 nm thick). Subsequently, total conversion into RuO 2 was obtained by heating the coated strip in a dry atmosphere at 5 °C min −1 until 420 °C1 in a Derivatograph PC‐type thermoanalytical apparatus (Hungarian Optical Works, Budapest, Hungary). The mixed Ru20%–Ti80% at.…”

“…The metal substrates were treated accordingly before the depositions,1,, 2 in order to obtain suitable surface conditions.…”

“…mixed oxide was deposited on Ti. The polycrystalline coatings were prepared by heating the Ru (and Ti)‐containing solution dropped on the supports 1. RuO 2 nanocrystalline coatings were grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from Ru(COD)(η 3 ‐allyl) 2 2.…”

Secondary ion mass spectrometry characterization of IrO2-Ta2O5 thin films: effect of relative composition on electrode properties

“…This methodology has already shown its potential for characterization of analogous systems. 13,14 Cyclic voltammetry was employed to evaluate electrochemical surface areas of the films and obtain some indication of their electrocatalytic activity as a function of IrO 2 content.…”

Surface modification of co-evaporated thin films upon oxygen and air exposure

“…Fundamental studies of the interaction of oxygen with monoatomic Ru [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and Ti [27][28][29][30] films exist in the literature. However, the behavior of a mixed RuTi alloy upon oxygen and air exposure has received much less attention.…”
