Summary: In this study, the initial behavior of trivalent chromium electrodeposition was investigated using chloride-based hydrate-melts. Proton reduction and chromium hydroxide precipitation were observed in the very early stage of electrolysis. The reduction of chromium required a few seconds of induction time and was associated with proton depletion near the cathode. The use of hydrate-melts resulted in the high current efficiencies of chromium electrodeposits due to the suppression of hydrogen evolution.

Summary: In this study, a trivalent chromium coating electrodeposited on 304L stainless steel was developed and optimized. The results showed that the grain sizes of the coatings decreased and the cracking density reduced with an increase in bath temperature. The mechanical and electrochemical tests demonstrated that the coatings deposited at a bath temperature of 80 degrees C had the best performance in terms of adhesion, wear resistance, and pitting resistance.

Summary: The current research focuses on the mechanism of PEG in the preparation of magnesium hydroxide by electrolysis. PEG plays a crucial role in adjusting the growth mode and morphology of Mg(OH)2 crystals. When the PEG content reaches 0.4 g/L, the product has uniform particle size, reduces polarization of the electrode plate, and improves the economic benefit. However, low or high PEG content may have a negative impact on the product and economic benefits of the electrolytic reaction.

Summary: Electrodeposited Cr coatings on carbon steel substrates using trivalent Cr salt exhibit good corrosion resistance in simulated nuclear power plant environments. Annealing at 200 degrees C can further enhance the corrosion resistance of the coatings. The Cr coatings significantly improve the flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) resistance of carbon steel substrates, with better performance observed for coatings annealed at 200 degrees C.

Summary: Electrodeposition is an effective method for synthesizing nanostructured metals with controlled microstructure. In this study, two different molecular weight types of polyethylene glycol (PEG) were used as additives for nickel electrodeposition. The addition of PEG played a crucial role in determining the microstructure of the deposits. The results showed that the microstructure transition of the Ni film was influenced by the current density and the molecular weight of PEG, leading to significant grain refinement.

Summary: Research findings in the eastern tropical North Pacific (ETNP) oxygen-deficient zone (ODZ) support theoretical and experimental studies predicting that lighter chromium is preferentially reduced in low-oxygen environments and residual dissolved chromium becomes heavier due to removal of particl-reactive Cr(III) on sinking particles. Microbial activity, dependent on sinking organic matter flux, may be the dominant mechanism for chromium transformation, rather than a simple inorganic chemical conversion.

Summary: This study reveals that the inefficiency of bioconjugation reactions, such as protein PEGylation, is caused by the excluded volume effect (EVE) between methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) and proteins. The researchers found that this EVE leads to the self-assembly of proteins and reactive mPEG into separate protein-rich and mPEG-rich domains. By adding unreactive low-molecular weight mPEG as a co-solvent, the association between the larger protein and reactive mPEG can be promoted, resulting in improved reaction efficiency.

Summary: This study investigates the electrodeposition of thick chromium layers (>1 µm) from a trivalent electrolyte, aiming to find a suitable electrolyte composition for the deposition of hard functional coatings. The influence of different carboxylic acids on the deposition was examined, and it was found that the electrolyte containing malonic acid showed the most promising results for technical applications. Compared to hexavalent chromium, the trivalent chromium layer exhibited similar properties in terms of crack formation, hardness, and layer thickness (>1 µm).

Summary: Novel two-layer chromium-based coatings, consisting of a first layer containing chromium, oxygen, and carbon (Cr-O-C) and an oxygen-rich chromium oxide (Cr-O) topcoat, were electrodeposited from trivalent chromium electrolyte. The complex structure and composition of the coatings were studied using complementary characterization techniques, revealing the amorphous and oxygen-deficient nature of the electrodeposited oxide. In situ ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the metastable nature of the oxide after heating to 450 degrees C, while cathodic delamination of a weak model polymer on these samples was studied using in situ scanning Kelvin probe.

Summary: The electrochemical behavior and electrodeposition mechanism of indium in acidic aqueous solution were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The CV curve of indium on Pt electrode showed additional reduction and oxidation peaks compared to that on glassy carbon (GC) electrode. EQCM results indicated simultaneous hydrogen reduction during indium electrodeposition on Pt electrode, while hydrogen evolution was suppressed on GC electrode. Passivation of indium and participation of low-valent indium ions were confirmed during the stripping of deposit on Pt electrode. The electrodeposition of indium on both GC and Pt followed progressive nucleation and three-dimensional growth controlled by diffusion, with calculated diffusion coefficients of In3+ on Pt and GC as (1.31 +/- 0.15)x10-5 cm2 s-1 and (1.2 +/- 0.1)x10-5 cm2 s-1, respectively. By separating the electrodeposition current using EQCM, the current characteristics of indium nucleation and growth can be reproduced, and the mass change signal recorded by EQCM fits well with the nonlinear fitting result.

Summary: Poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) have been widely used for CO2 capture due to their resemblance to ionic liquids and properties of polymers. In this study, the amine-functionalized poly(vinylimidazole)-based PIL (PVIm-NH2) was successfully prepared and characterized as a chemosensor for CO2 gas detection. The detection limit of PVIm-NH2 in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) was found to be 2.86 x 10-3 M with R2 = 0.9906. The mechanism of PVIm-NH2 generating N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in the presence of TEA and their reaction with CO2 gas to form a carboxylic acid was investigated. Structural modifications of PIL were also shown to make it a promising candidate for chemosensor applications.

Summary: For the first time, a dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-mu SPE) based on graphene oxide was used for the ultrasensitive determination of Cd. With this method, Cd can be efficiently extracted from a mixture of alkali and alkaline earth metals without the need for an elution step. The combination of D-mu SPE and SAGD OES significantly reduces matrix effects and improves the tolerance of Cd to alkali metals. The method shows simplicity in the measurement system and the commercially available nanosorbent used.
