Bulk and Surface Properties of a VPO Catalyst Used in an Electrochemical Membrane Reactor: Conductivity-, XRD-, TPO- and XPS-study

In the first part of this work, the electrical conductivity of vanadium phosphorous oxide (VPO) catalyst was investigated by means of the 2-probe EIS method. The VPO showed an extremely low conductivity at low oxygen partial pressure, which is the prevailing condition in the anodic compartment in an electrochemical membrane reactor (EMR). In the second part of this study, fresh as well as VPO catalyst already used in an EMR were characterised with XRD, XPS and temperature programmed oxidation (TPO). The XRD measurements revealed an unchanged bulk phase structure after operation in the EMR. Significant differences in the average oxidation states of vanadium in the catalyst layer in the EMR were determined via XPS, where the catalyst surface facing the electrolyte membrane was more oxidised than the surface facing the anodic gas compartment. The lowered uptake and release of oxygen was observed in TPO experiments for the catalyst used in the EMR.     

In situ impedance study of the Y-Ni thin film under electrochemical hydrogenation

A thin film of yttrium Y (150 nm) protected by a 6 nm coating of nickel Ni on a glass substrate was completely hydrogenated in a 1 M NaOH electrolyte at a constant negative current until the transparent Y tri-hydride phase was achieved and hydrogen gas evolution from the electrode began. A series of impedance measurements were performed in situ during the electrochemical experiment to study the properties of the system as dependent on hydrogenation degree and time of relaxation. The equivalent electrical circuit (EEC) simulations were performed with a Randles-like scheme R₀[R₁CPE₁], where R₀ is the thin film electrode resistance, R₁ the charge transfer resistance and CPE₁ is the capacitive constant phase element. The behavior of all the components of the EEC undergoes a clear transition when the hydrogenation degree of the electrode is approximated to its maximum value (H to Y ratio 2.7) and electrochemical process changes from hydrogen uptake to hydrogen evolution.     

Investigations of Electrical Properties in Silica/Indium Tin Oxide Two-Layer Film for Effective Electromagnetic Shielding

The effect of zinc ions added to silica film on the electrical and structural properties of a silica/indium tin oxide two-layer film which had been prepared by solution coating for electromagnetic shielding of displays was studied. The volume resistivity of the undoped silica/indium tin oxide film was more than 3 times as high as that of the zinc-doped silica/indium tin oxide film. The addition of divalent cations, zinc ions, to the overcoated layer led volume resistivity of the two-layer film to decrease significantly and also caused a long-term increase in stability. The decrease in volume resistivity was due to the addition of zinc ions that changed the interface ionization and helped to enhance the electrical conductivity in the two-layer film.     

Method of electrodialysis stack testing with the feed solution concentration regulation

A technique to test electrodialysis (ED) stacks designed to desalt dilute solutions is developed. The technique permits obtaining reproducible data on laboratory and medium-scale units useful for predicting mass transfer characteristics of large ED stacks. Quasi-steady state of desalination process is the main condition to obtain such data. This state can be attained by applying recycling hydraulic modes and special devices to maintain constant pH, or pH and concentration of the feed solution. To obtain data for scaling, it is necessary to apply a fixed voltage on the stack and to use a constant flow rate of the feed solution during the experiment, the feed solution concentration may vary with the time. Specifications of the stacks studied, rational hydraulic and electrical modes of testing are considered.
