In this study, mechanical and electrochemical characteristics with welding material in MIG welded with ROBOT for dissimilar Al alloys were investigated using various experiment methods. The MIG welding by ROBOT with ER5183 and ER5556 for the 5456-H116 and 6061-T6 Al alloy were carried out. The hardness of welding zone was lower than that of base metal. In electrochemical experiment, ER5183 welding material presented excellent characteristics. The yield strength and maximum tensile strength in welding with welding material of ER5183 presented lower value than those of ER5556. The elongation and time-to-fracture showed the opposite results.

In this paper we report an electrochemical sensor based on ZnO-functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite (ZnO-GO) for the sensitive determination of the cabergoline. Cabergoline electrochemical behaviors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CHA) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The modified electrode shows electrocatalytic activity toward cabergoline oxidation in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (pH 7.0) with a reduction of the overpotential of about 180 mV and an increase in peak current. The DPV data showed that the obtained anodic peak currents were linearly dependent on the cabergoline concentrations in the range of $1.0-200.0{\mu}M$, with the detection limit of $0.45{\mu}M$. The prepared electrode was successfully applied for the determination of cabergoline in real samples.

The electrochemical behaviors of estrone in the presence of various surfactants were examined with great details. It is found that a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), obviously facilitates the electro-oxidation of estrone at carbon paste electrode (CPE) from the significant peak current enhancement and the negative shift of peak potential. Additionally, chronocoulometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also used for further investigation of the electrode process of estrone, indicating that low concentration of CTAB exhibits excellent enhancement effects on the electrochemical oxidation of estrone, greatly enhances the diffusion coefficient and the electron transfer rate. Based on this, an electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of estrone. The oxidation peak current is proportional to the concentration of estrone in the ranges over 9.0 × 10?8 - 8.0 × 10?6 mol/L, and a low detection limit of 4.0 × 10?8 mol/L was obtained for 180s accumulation at open circuit (S/N = 3). Finally, this proposed method was demonstrated using estrone tablets with good satisfaction.

In this study, we present a more electrochemically enhanced electrode using activated carbon (AC)-sulfur (S) composite materials, which have high current density. The morphological and micro-structure properties were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Quantity of sulfur was measured by thermogravimetric analysis analysis. The electrochemical behaviors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. As a trapping carbon structure, AC could provide a porous structure for containing sulfur. We were able to confirm that the AC-S composite electrode had superior electrochemical activity.

Proton conducting polymeric gels as the electrolytes of electrochemical capacitors have been prepared by two different methods: 1) swelling a polymethacrylate-based polymer matrix in aqueous solutions of inorganic and organic acids, and 2) polymerizing complexes of anhydrous acids and prepolymers with organic plasticizer. The FT-IR spectra strongly suggest that the carbonyl groups in the polymer matrix interact with protons from the doped acids. High ionic (proton) conductivity in the range of $6\times10^{-4}-4\times10^{-2}\;S\;cm^{-1}$ was obtained at room temperature for the aqueous gels. The non-aqueous polymer complexes showed rather low ionic conductivity, but it was about $10^{-3}\;S\;cm^{-1}\;at\;70^{\circ}C$ for the $H_3PO_4$ doped polymer electrolyte. The mechanisms of ion (proton) conduction in the polymeric systems are discussed.

We have reported to make nanostructured cobalt oxide electrode that have large capacitance over than 400 F/g (specific capacitance) and good cycleability. But, it had serious demerits of low voltage range under 0.5 V and low power density. Therefore, we need to increase voltage range of cobalt oxide electrode. We report here on the electrochemical properties of sol-gel-derived nanoparticulate cobalt xerogel in 1M KOH solution and aqueous polymeric gel electrolyte. In solution electrolyte, cobalt oxide electrode had over 250 F/g capacitance consisted of EDLC and pseudocapacitance. In gel electrolyte, cobalt oxide electrode had around 100 F/g capacitance. This capacitance was only electric double layer capacitance of active surface area. In solution electrolyte, potassium ion as working ion reacted with both of layers easily. However, In gel electrolyte, reacted with only surface-active layer. Itis very hard to reach resistive layer. So, we have studied on pretreatment of electrode to contain working ions easily. We'll report more details.

This article covers the fundamentals of percolation phenomenon giving emphasis to the percolation concept involved in disordered electrochemical systems. After a brief discourse on the basic concepts of percolation theory, the geometrical properties and fractality of percolation clusters were presented. Then, anomalous behaviours of diffusion in percolation clusters were explained in terms of the fractal structures of the infinite percolation clusters. Finally, the conductivity-related properties of composite ionic materials were shortly discussed on the basis of percolation theory from practical points of view.

New monomers, possessing various alkyl substituents on propylene dioxypyrrole, were synthesized. The monomers could be easily polymerized to produce highly conductive and soluble polymers. The corresponding polymers showed excellent solubility, retaining electrochemical and optical properties of their parent polymer [poly(propylene dioxypyrrole)]. The conductivities of chemically prepared polymers were quite high in a range of 20 and $60\;Scm^{-1}$. Solubility of the polymer in a common organic solvent was as high as no polymer is deposited on an electrode. The redox potentials of the electrochemically prepared polymers revealed quite stable electro-activity during repeated redox switching up to 500 times. The optoelectrochemistry studies also showed distinct color changes of the polymers upon changing the doping state, indicating strong absorption peaks at 400~600 nm in reduced states and complete bleaching in fully oxidized states.

SOFC (Solid oxide fuel cell) has an advantage in the term of fuel flexibility, comparing with other kinds of fuel cells. In SOFC and fuel reformer cooperation system, the reformate gas with the various $H_2$/CO ratios is delivered into the anode of SOFC. In this situation, electrochemical oxidation reactions of the reformate gas in the anode are complex and competitive. In this paper, the effects of the composition of $H_2$ and CO on the overall electrochemical oxidation at Ni-YSZ anode are studied by testing the open circuit voltage (OCV) and current-voltage characteristics of single cells.

In the micro electrochemical machining (ECM), unfavorable oxide/passive layer formation and overall corrosion of electrodes must be prevented. Generally, the stainless steel electrode corrodes, passivates or dissolves in the electrochemical cell according to the electrode potential. Therefore, the electrode must maintain stable potential. The stable electrode potentials of tool and workpiece were determined with the potentiodynamic polarization test and verified experimentally from the point of machining stability and machined surface quality.
