The influence of saccharin adsorption on NiFe alloy film growth mechanisms during electrodeposition

Abstract

The mechanism of the film surface development was considered from the point of view of saccharin adsorption and its action as an inhibitor of vertical grain growth during direct, pulse and pulse reverse current modes.

Electroactive properties and piezo-tribo hybrid energy harvesting performances of PVDF-AlFeO3 composites: role of crystal symmetry and agglomeration of fillers

“…of materials from their SEM/TEM images. [36][37][38][39][40] Detailed technique for this calculation can also be found in earlier literature. 41 However, in the present work, the average particle size of the fillers was evaluated from their TEM images by using the ImageJ software only.…”

Recent advancements in non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor development for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides in food and environment

“…Notably, metal oxides have shown enhanced electronic properties and exceptional stability, even at high temperatures up to 1000 °C, as well as resistance to oxidative decay and electromagnetic radiation, surpassing their metal and metal alloy counterparts [ 58 ]. In recent years, oxides of various metals such as Fe, Cu, Ni, Bi, W, and Ti have garnered significant attention for electrode modification [ [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [63] , [64] ]. Furthermore, the fusion of polymers and carbonaceous nanomaterials, for example carbon nanotubes ( CNTs ) and graphene, with metal oxides is pushing the frontier of metal oxide research by enhancing their electronic properties [ [65] , [66] , [67] , [68] , [69] ].…”

Accelerated Tribo-Films Formation in Complex Adaptive Surface-Engineered Systems under the Extreme Tribological Conditions of Ultra-High-Performance Machining

“…This process is strongly accelerated by the adaptive response of the analyzed thin-film PVD coating layer to an initial, strongly non-equilibrium state [10]. The next stage in this complex process is non-spontaneous tribo-oxidation caused by the interaction of the coating layer with the surrounding oxygen [7], which leads to the formation of extremely thin (nano-scale) layers of tribo-films on the friction surface [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. These processes are directly related to self-organization with the formation of dissipative structures [24,25].…”
