A Study of Ozone Generation by Negative Corona Discharge Through Different Plasma Chemistry Models

The Steady radial distribution of chemical species in a wire‐to‐cylinder ozone generator filled with pure oxygen has been computed by applying four different plasma chemistry models of increasing complexity. The most complete model considers ten species (e, O₂ ⁺, O₂ ^?, O₃ ^?, O^?, O₂, O₂(¹Δ_g), O₂(¹∑_g ⁺), O and O₃) and 79 reactions, including ionization by electron impact, electron attachment and detachment, electron-ion recombination, charge transfer, etc. The chemical model is coupled with the electrical model through Poisson's equation. The spatially averaged ozone density has been computed as a function of the current intensity and compared with the experimental values obtained by UV spectroscopy.     

Space-charge-limited currents for organic solar cells optimisation

Basic suppositions and microphysical origin of the occurrence of the space-charge-limited currents (SCLC) are presented in general and for the temperature-modulated space-charge-limited currents (TM-SCLC) in particular. The criteria are given for the spectroscopical method TM-SCLC to be used for localized electron states elucidation in organic semiconducting materials for organic solar cells optimization and modelling. The “visibility “of the localized states by SCLC method, i.e. the power of the SCLC method to distinguish the localized states, is tested by the modelling, varying the temperature, energy position of localized states and their concentration. Generally, it was determined that the SCLC measurements results are more reliable with the increased energy of the states, with their increased concentration and with decreased temperature. The correlation (or its absence) between the measured current and activation energy on applied voltage, expressed by the dependence of preexponential factor of conductivity on activation energy (Meyer–Neldel rule), gives the possibility to determine the energy range where the reconstruction of density of localized states function is reliable.     

Composite group vector space method for estimating melting and boiling point of pure organic compound

Composition Group Vector Space (CGVS) method for estimating melting and boiling point T _m , T _b of organic compound has been proposed, and the principle of this method has been elucidated. The models for estimating T _m , T _b have been established and the numerical values of relative parameters have been presented. The average percentage deviations of T _m , T _b estimation are 7.53 and 1.58, respectively, which show that the present method demonstrates significant improvement in applicability to predict the above properties, compared to conventional group methods.     

Chemical vapor deposition of aluminum for ulsi applications

Aluminum has been used widely as a conducting material in the fabrication of integrated circuits, and chemical vapor deposition process for Al has been actively investigated for the application in ultra large scale integration. In this review, various precursors, mainly alkyl aluminum and alane compounds, and reaction mechanisms of these precursors in Al CVI) are described. Epitaxial growth and selectivity of the deposition are also discussed. In addition to thermal reactions, plasma and photochemical reactions are also briefly described.     

Electroluminescence from phenylenevinylene-based polymer blends

The electroluminescent behaviour of films of poly(phenylphenylenevinylene) (PPPV), of PPPV blended with polystyrene (PS) and of PS doped with oligo(phenylenevinylene) sandwiched between indium–tin oxide (ITO) and Al contacts has been investigated. Polymer blending increases the relative quantum efficiency by up to two orders of magnitude. Studying the cell performance under application of rectangular voltage pulses as a function of temperature indicates that (i) hole injection at the ITO contact occurs by tunnelling, (ii) tunnel injection of electrons at the cathode is promoted by a space charge field across an interfacial Al₂O₃ layers and (iii) leakage of holes through the cathodic barrier is the main loss mechanism for holes.     

Electrochemical properties of ultra-long,aligned, carbon nanotube array electrode in organic electrolyte

The electrochemical properties of an electrochemical double-layer capacitor electrode based on an ultra-long (500 μm), aligned, carbon nanotube array (ACNTA) in Et₄NPF₆/propylene carbonate electrolyte are examined. The specific capacitance of the ACNTA electrode in an organic electrolyte is 24.5 F g⁻¹, which is larger than that obtained in an aqueous electrolyte. The results of ac impedance measurements show that the ACNTA electrode gives a high power density and an excellent rate capability in an organic electrolyte. It is shown that the ACNTA electrode has a lower equivalent series resistance and a better rate capability than activated carbon electrode. This is due to the fact that ACNTA possesses a larger pore size and a more a regular pore structure. Both these features are conformed by scanning electron microscopic and nitrogen gas adsorption studies.     

Evaluation of different coating systems by electrochemical methods

Corrosion protection of organic coated steel is determined by free corrosion potential measurements and impedance spectroscopy. The results are classified by means of very basic considerations and evaluation figures are developed. These electrochemical data are correlated with the extent of the corrosion for each coating system. The evaluation figures are used for ranking coating systems and this ranking is correlated with the ranking with reference to the results of standardized and exposure tests.

Electrochemical injection of organic corrosion inhibitors into carbonated cementitious materials: Part 1. Effects on pore solution chemistry

This series of investigations was intended to clarify phenomena associated with electrochemical injection of the organic base corrosion inhibitors, ethanolamine and guanidine, into carbonated concrete. In Part 1, experiments were conducted with laminated specimens of carbonated cement paste, that were specially designed to facilitate analysis with adequate spatial resolution to assess changes in their pore solution phase chemistry after they had been subjected to constant current electrolysis between embedded cathodes and external anodes. The anolyte solutions provided sources of ethanolamine or guanidine in contact with the exterior specimen surfaces. Effects of variations in the applied current density and duration of electrolysis on the concentration profiles of the two inhibitors and the other main constituents of the pore solution phase were determined. The results have been used to underpin the development of a mathematical model, which is described in Part 2.
