Electrochemical noise signals in many cases exhibit a DC drift that should be removed prior to further data analysis. Polynomial fitting and moving average removal method have been used to remove trends of electrochemical noise (EN) in time domain. The corrosion inhibition of synthesized schiff base N,N'-bis(3,5-dihydroxyacetophenone)-2,2-dimethylpropandiimine on API-5L-X70 steel in hydrochloric acid solutions were used to study the effects of drifts removal methods on noise resistance calculation. Also, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the corrosion inhibition property of the inhibitor. The results showed that for the calculation of $R_n$, both methods were effective in trend removal and the polynomial with m=4 and MAR with p=40 were in agreement.

This review article considered the electrochemical reduction of uranyl ions on a Pt surface. Specifically, we focussed on the improvement in its reduction current efficiency. First, this article briefly explained the fundamentals of the reduction of uranyl ($UO_2^{2+}$) ions on a Pt surface. Namely, they involved the electrochemical behaviour of uranium species, and electrochemical cell configurations for the reduction of $UO_2^{2+}$ ions. In addition, the effects of adsorbed hydrogen atoms were investigated on the reduction of $UO_2^{2+}$ ions. Finally, this article presented the methods for improving current efficiency of the reduction of $UO_2^{2+}$ ions on a Pt surface. Three different kinds of methods are introduced, which include electrochemical surface treatments of Pt electrode involving hydrogenation and anodisation, the use of catalyst poisons, and formation of thin mercury film on a Pt electrode. Moreover, this article provided some clues about how hydrogenation and catalyst poisons work on the reduction of $UO_2^{2+}$ ions.

In the course of feasibility study the necessity of implementing electrochemical methods as an inline metrology technique to characterize semiconductor nano structures for a Deep Trench Dynamic Random Access Memory (DT-DRAM) (e.g. ultra shallow junctions USJ) was discussed. Hereby, the state of the art semiconductor technology on the advantages and disadvantages of the most recently used analytical techniques for characterization of nano electronic devices are mentioned. Various electrochemical methods, their measure relationship and correlations to physical quantities are explained. The most important issue of this paper is to prove the novel usefulness of the electrochemical micro cell in the semiconductor industry.

Electrochemical micro-machining(EMM) is used to achieve a desired workpiece surface by dissolving the metal workpiece with an electrochemical reaction. This machining method can be applied to metal that is difficult to machining using other methods. The workpiece dissolves when it is positioned close to the tool electrode in electrolyte and current is applied. This aim of this work is to develop electrochemical micro-machining(EMM) technique for micro groove shape by establishing appropriate electrochemical parameters of machining

Electrochemical methods have been proposed as non-destructive, rapid and quantitative means for determining the degree of sensitization associated with Chromium depleted zones surrounding precipitates of Cr carbide and formation of secondary phase in stainless steel. In this study, the specimen of AISI 304 stainless steel and its welded sections, which welded by TIG, MIG, $CO_2$ and ARC, were tested corrosion resistance by electrochemical methods in 0.5N HCl and 1N $H_2SO_4$ with or without 0.01N KSCN. The results were confirmed that electrochemical methods could be used as a test method of corrosion resistance evaluation for the welded AISI 304 stainless steel.

Electrochemical phenomena underpin a broad spectrum of energy, chemical, and information technologies such as resistive memories and secondary batteries. The optimization of functionalities in these devices requires understanding electrochemical mechanisms on the nanoscale. Even though the nanoscale electrochemical phenomena have been studied by electron microscopies, these methods are limited for analyzing dynamic electrochemical behavior and there is still lack of information on the nanoscale electrochemical mechanisms. The alternative way can be an atomic force microscopy (AFM) because AFM allows nanoscale measurements and, furthermore, electrochemical reaction can be controlled by an application of electric field through AFM tip. Here, I will summarize recent studies to probe nanoscale electrochemical reaction in battery applications by AFM. In particular, we have recently developed electromechanical based AFM techniques for exploring reversible and irreversible electrochemical phenomena on the nanoscale. The present work suggests new strategies to explore fundamental electrochemical mechanisms using the AFM approach and eventually will provide a powerful paradigm for probing spatially resolved electrochemical information for energy applications.

There is an increasing interest in the use of electrochemical methods for the food waste treatment. The technologies using the electrochemical method provide ideal tools for approaching industrial and food wastes problems. Unlike other chemical treatments, the electrochemical systems do not make the volume of the secondary waste increase. The electrochemical methods can be operated with electrochemical apparatus and inorganic agent allow selective separation and recovery and even quieter than others. This study concerns design factors, electrode construction and wastewater treatment process of the electrochemical apparatus. The experiment of color, COD and BOD removal is much effective in using electrochemical method with ultrasonication and ozonation.

Here I present a formula which converts a constant phase element (CPE) to its equivalent capacitor. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is capable of resolving a complex electrochemical processes into its faradaic and non-faradaic elements, and the non-faradaic process is frequently described as a CPE in place of a capacitor due to the non-ideality. Being described as a capacitor, the non-faradaic element provides information by its capacitance, but a CPE cannot provide a physical meaning. In order to solve the problem, the CPE has been dealt with as an equivalent capacitor of which the capacitance provides practical information. Succeeding the two methods previously suggested, a new conversion method is suggested in this report. While the previous ones manipulate only the CPE, the new method takes both the CPE and its related resistor into account for conversion. By comparing the results obtained by the three methods, we learn that the results are nearly the same within tolerable ranges, and conclude that any of the method choices is acceptable depending on the conditions of the system of interest.

There is growing interest worldwide in a hydrogen economy that uses hydrogen as an energy medium instead of hydrocarbon-based fossil fuels as a way to combat climate change. Since hydrogen has a very low energy density per unit volume at room temperature, hydrogen must be compressed and stored in order to use as an energy carrier. There are mechanical and non-mechanical methods for compressing hydrogen. The mechanical method has disadvantages such as high energy consumption, durability problems of moving parts, hydrogen contamination by lubricants, and noise. Among the non-mechanical compression methods, electrochemical compression consumes less energy and can compress hydrogen with high purity. In this paper, research trends are reviewed, focusing on research papers on electrochemical hydrogen compression technology, and future research directions are suggested.
