An enzyme fuel cell employing a carbon cloth electrode and bacterial FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) based on the direct electron transfer principle was constructed, and its scalability and cellulolytic sugar conversion were investigated. FADGDH was immobilized on the carbon cloth electrode together with carbon paste to form a multi-module type enzyme fuel cell by combining platinum-supported carbon immobilized carbon cloth as the cathode. The enzyme fuel cell was stable for more than 7 days of continuous operation. The 3 3 module (18 cm 2 ) enzyme fuel cell generated 68 μW (3.8 μW/cm 2 ) using glucose as the substrate, which was almost 9 times that of a single-module enzyme fuel cell. Thanks to the substrate specificity of bacterial FADGDH, cellulolytic sugars were revealed to be a good substrate for the enzyme fuel cell with cellobiose (9.3 μW/cm 2 ), cellotriose (9.2 μW/cm 2 ), or cellotetraose (6.3 μW/cm 2 ). These results demonstrated that together with the feasibility of using carbon cloth as the electrode material, FADGDH as the anode catalyst will become the norm in electrochemical biomass applications in the future.

In the Part I of the present work, theoretical expressions for the analysis of the hydrogen oxidation reaction on electrodes covered with layers of polymeric membranes were derived. The diffusion of molecular hydrogen through the different layers and interfaces was taken into account, the kinetic treatment was based on the Volmer-Heyrovsky-Tafel mechanism and a Frumkin type adsorption was applied to the reaction intermediate. The resulting expressions were used to correlate experimental data measured by J. Maruyama et al. (J. Electroanal. Chem. 1998, 447, 201-209), obtained on a rotating platinum electrode covered with a Nafion membrane and on the corresponding bare electrode. A complete set of kinetic and mass transport parameters was obtained in both cases. The applicability of the Levich-Koutecky diagrams for the evaluation of the faradaic current-potential curves was also analyzed and discussed.

The influence of azide ion concentration and temperature on the electrochemical behavior of vanadium was studied using open-circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The steady state potential (Ess) is a linear function of azide ion concentration. Polarization measurements have shown that the rate of corrosion icorr increases with increasing the azide ion concentration as well as increasing solution temperature. EIS investigations under open-circuit conditions confirm these results as can be identified by the decrease of the polarization resistance (Rox) and oxide thickness (1/Cox) with increasing the azide ion concentration. The measured impedance responses were analyzed using a constant phase element (CPE) model with its complex transfer function. The behavior of vanadium in the azide medium is also compared to that in other halide salt solutions, it was found that the tendency for spontaneously grown thicker oxide film increases in the order: Br - > Cl - > I - > N 3 > F - .
采用开路电位(OCP)、动电位极化和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)技术研究了叠氮化物离子浓度和温度对钒电化学行为的影响。稳态电位(Ess)是叠氮离子浓度的线性函数。极化测量表明,随着叠氮离子浓度的增加和溶液温度的升高,腐蚀速率增加。开路条件下的EIS研究证实了这些结果,可以通过极化电阻(Rox)和氧化物厚度(1/Cox)随叠氮离子浓度的增加而降低来识别。采用具有复杂传递函数的恒相元(CPE)模型对测量阻抗响应进行了分析。钒在叠氮化物介质中的行为也与在其他卤化物溶液中的行为进行了比较,发现自发生长较厚的氧化膜的趋势依次为:Br - > Cl - > I - > n3 > F -。

The comparison between the response corresponding to a simple charge transfer taking place at an electroactive monolayer with that of an electrocatalytic process at a modified electrode are presented by using the multipulse potential techniques cyclic staircase voltammetry (CSCV) and cyclic square wave voltammetry (CSWV). General analytical and explicit equations for the IE responses have been tested by means of the study of the reduction of azobenzene monolayer at mercury electrode. The value of the chemical rate constant ( k c ' = 40 M 1 s 1 ) has been easily obtained from the cathodic plateau of the CSCV curves and from the best fitting between theoretical and experimental CSWV curves.

Piperazine and its derivatives such as phosphates, carbonates, benzoates, cinnamate and maleate were developed and investigated as vapor phase corrosion inhibitors by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization methods for mild steel. All of these compounds have shown good inhibition efficiency for mild steel after 30 days under continuous condensation test (CT). The potentiodynamic polarization studies have shown predominantly anodic behavior of all these compounds.

We investigated pattern formation in Ag-In electrodeposition by constructing a morphology diagram that indicates the presence of pattern at a current density and cathode potential. The patterns that emerge as a fishbone and tree are found to have a fractal property. As the current density increases, the fishbone-like pattern with a fractal dimension of 1.44 changes into the tree-like pattern with a fractal dimension of 1.64. The increase in the fractal dimension is related to an increase in the number of branch in the pattern.

Modified Pt and Ti substrates were prepared by electrodeposition of nanocrystallite Pt and Ptx-Sny catalysts for electro-oxidation of ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol. The chemical composition, the phase structure and the surface morphology of the Pt and Ptx-Sny electrodeposits were studied by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Their electro-catalytic activities were studied in 0.5 M H2SO4 by cyclic votlammetry and chronoamperometric techniques. It was found that, the nature of the substrate significantly affects the performance of the prepared catalyst towards electro-oxidation of different alcohols. Accordingly, the modified Pt substrates display enhanced catalytic activity and a higher stability towards alcohols electro-oxidation compared to the modified Ti substrates. Steady state Tafel plots experiments showed smoother and higher rate of alcohols oxidation on the modified Pt substrates than that on the modified Ti. High anodic Tafel slopes >200 for 1-propanol and 2- propanol electro-oxidation were obtained on Ti modified substrates indicating the complexity of the oxidation reaction on such electrodes.

A generalized theoretical analysis of the kinetics of the hydrogen oxidation reaction under the Volmer- Heyrovsky-Tafel mechanism on an electrode covered by polymeric films is presented. The treatment includes the diffusion of the molecular hydrogen through the electrolyte solution, as well as through the different layers and interfaces. On the light of the resulting expressions, the applicability of the Levich-Koutecky diagrams for the determination of the kinetic current densities was critically analyzed.

The redox characteristics of some substituted chromene derivatives has been investigated in different nonaque- ous solvents such as, 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM) and acetonitrile (AN) using 0.1mol dm -3 tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as a supporting electrolyte at platinum, gold and glassy carbon electrodes, using cyclic voltammetry. Through controlled potential electrolysis (CPE), the product of oxidation and reduction can be sepa- rated and identified. The product of oxidation was found to be the corresponding bis-compound. On the other hand, the reduction occurs in a single two electron process to give the dianion, which abstracts protons to saturate the (-C=O) bond. The effect of substituents on the redox mode of an electroactive site has also been studied.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel was studied using L-Dopa in aqueous hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid so- lutions. The corrosion behaviours of the steel specimen in the presence of inhibitor weret studied by galvanostatic polari- zation and weight loss techniques. The measured electrochemical data indicated good inhibition of corrosion in both the corrosive medium in presence of L-DOPA. The corrosion inhibition may be explained on the basis of adsorption and for- mation of surface film of L-DOPA on the metal surface. The surface of the steel specimen subjected to electrochemical corrosion in the presence and absence of the inhibitor was studied using scanning electron microscopic images. In the present investigation, L-DOPA is used as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in aqueous hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid solutions. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of the compound is studied by potentiodynamic polarization and weight loss studies. The surface morphology of the metal surface before and after corrosion is studied by SEM images. 2. EXPERIMENTAL Analytical Reagent (AR) grade chemicals (sd. fine chemicals, Mumbai) were used for the study. The aqueous solution of sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid was used as the corrosive media. L-dopa was used as received and the structure of the L-dopa was used as corrosion inhibitor is as shown in Fig. (1).
