Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the electrochemical growth and optical properties of polymeric thionine films on platinum using ellipsometry
Andrew Hamnett,A.Robert Hillman +1 more
TL;DR: The growth and optical properties of polymeric thionine films on Pt have been studied by simultaneous ellipsometric and electrochemical measurements as mentioned in this paper, showing that film deposition at positive potentials is diffusionally controlled.
Journal ArticleDOI
The electroreduction of oxygen on thin films of platinum phthalocyanine in alkaline solutions: Part II. Spectroelectrochemical data and mechanism
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the thin films of platinum phthalocyanine evaporated onto gold-coated pyrolytic graphite have been remarkably active as four-electron reductants for oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI
High efficiency cathodes for alkaline air electrodes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used carbon electrodes as cathodes in alkaline air fuel cells with some success, and showed that the activity of carbon can be enhanced onsiderably by impregnation with a suitable catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractional-factorial design of a porous-carbon fuel-cell electrode
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of fractionalfactorial methods in the optimization of porous carbon electrode structure is discussed with respect to weight-loss of carbon during gas treatment, weight and mixing time of binder, compaction temperature, time and pressure, and pressure of feed gas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of electroreflectance and photoreflectance of semiconductors
TL;DR: The recent development of theoretical models of electroreflectance is reviewed and a detailed discussion of the evaluation of Airy functions in the upper complex plane given in this paper, and some examples of recent fits to experimental data in the literature are discussed.
