- was hence ascribed to impurities originating from the filament material and accordingly from the cathode material of the reactor systems. The observation of the W5-luminescence in diamond layers grown with the addition of W(CO)6 confirms the previous assignment. The gas-phase doping approach offered
Characterization and properties of micro- and nanowires of controlled size, composition, and geometry fabricated by electrodeposition and ion-track technology

- monitored by chronoamperometric current–time (I–t) curves. In the two-electrode arrangement the potential Uc is applied between cathode and anode. In the three-electrode arrangement, reference electrodes such as saturated silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl/sat. KCl) and saturated calomel electrodes (SCE) are
- dominates [61]. It should be noted, that other than on a macroelectrode surface, the wire deposition process occurs in a recessed electrode ensemble, and that the cathode surface is placed, at the beginning of the process, at the bottom of the channels and shifts to the opposite surface during the nanowire
- the deposition. Addition of sulphuric acid increases the conductivity of the solution and lowers the cathode overvoltage. Electrodeposition is typically performed potentiostatically in a two-electrode arrangement by using a copper anode, at temperatures between 25 and 70 °C. By applying low
Low-temperature synthesis of carbon nanotubes on indium tin oxide electrodes for organic solar cells
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2012, 3, 524–532, doi:10.3762/bjnano.3.60
- the fullerene derivative acts as an electron acceptor [6]. The holes move in the polymeric phase towards the anode, while the electrons hop along the fullerenes and eventually reach the cathode. Since the diffusion length of the exciton in the polymers is very low, recombination is highly probable
- -coated glass, which had been previously cleaned with acetone and isopropyl alcohol in ultrasonic baths. A 100 nm thick Al cathode was then thermally evaporated in high vacuum (~2 × 10−6mbar), by using a shadow mask with 3 mm wide stripes. The final device had an active area of 25 mm2. Reference cells
A facile approach to nanoarchitectured three-dimensional graphene-based Li–Mn–O composite as high-power cathodes for Li-ion batteries

- can help to reduce the dissolution of Mn2+ into the electrolyte, as indicated by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) measurements, and which is mainly attributed to the large specific surface area of the graphene sheets. Keywords: cathode; graphene; Li-ion battery; lithium manganate; Introduction
- Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered the primary candidate as the power source for plug-in and hybrid electric vehicles [1]. Although LiCoO2 is widely used as a commercial cathode for Li-ion batteries, there are several drawbacks, including high cost and toxicity. Spinel Lithium Manganate (LMO) is
- a promising cathode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries due to the high energy density, improved operating safety, low cost and low toxicity [2]. However, the low electrical conductivity (10−6 S·cm−1) and poor cycling performance of LMO are the main issues associated with this material [3][4
Parallel- and serial-contact electrochemical metallization of monolayer nanopatterns: A versatile synthetic tool en route to bottom-up assembly of electric nanocircuits

- cathode [30]. Metal-on-monolayer features resulting from the serial CEP–CET process executed with a moving SFM tip were shown to correspond to the OTSeo features defined in the pattern inscription step (CEP), whereas those produced with a stamp (parallel mode) were replicas of the stamp metal features [30
- , to the target monolayer (cathode), where effective nucleation and growth of stable metal grains (following the reduction of Ag+ ions to neutral atoms) can occur only at those surface sites that bind the ions, which correspond to the carboxylic acid terminated OTSeo lines of the template nanopattern
- electrochemical rather than adhesion-promoted [32][33][34][35], involving dissolution of stamp-metal grains (anode), ionic transport through an ultrathin water film adsorbed on the metal grains, and subsequent nucleation and growth of new metal grains at the target monolayer (cathode); (ii) metal grains can

The present authors have reported a cell composed of a nanoporous semiconductor photoanode and an O2-reducing cathode that can efficiently photodecompose various bio-related compounds in water [11][12]. When ammonia was present in water in contact with a nanoporous TiO2 photoanode, the semiconductor

- beamline of the Swiss Light Source of the Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen, Switzerland) [29]. The ACIS consists of three different stages as shown in Figure 1a: (A) the cluster aggregation part based on a hollow cathode made from the target material (here: Fe with a purity of higher than 99%), (B) a dual

The cluster material is eroded from the hollow cathode in
