Time Dependent Development of Aluminium Pitting Corrosion by Robert E. Melchers

“…Most likely it is the result of the accumulation of corrosion products over the pit mouths, leading to the gradual development of localised anoxic conditions within pits. In turn this permits the development within the pits of anoxic autocatalytic conditions, consistent with established theory for pitting corrosion of aluminium. …”

Cy Twombly: Sign, Meta-Sign and Sense by Johanna Malt

“…Via an analysis of the effect of layering in several paintings from the early 1960s, I argue that, in this layering, signification via the presence of text becomes just another category of object to be called forth, or rather, another mode of relation to the world which the painting investigates in its meta-reflection on relationality as meaning.…”

Electrochemical Denitrification of Synthetic Aqueous Solution and Actual Contaminated Well Water: RSM Modeling, Kinetic Study, Monte Carlo Optimization, and Sensitivity Analysis by Fahimeh Shamseali, Farzaneh Mohammadi, Hamidreza Pourzamani, Mahsa Janati

“…The process of electrochemical denitrification is applied with the aim of converting nitrate (NO3−) to N2 gas by reducing nitrate and oxidizing by-products such as ammonia (NH4+). In this study, Ti/RuO2 and graphite were used as anode and cathode electrodes, respectively, to treat synthetic aqueous solutions containing different concentrations of nitrate ions. …”

Enantioselective reductive cross-couplings to forge C(sp2)–C(sp3) bonds by merging electrochemistry with nickel catalysis by Yun-Zhao Wang, Bing Sun, Jian-Feng Guo, Xiao-Yu Zhu, Yu-Cheng Gu, Ya-Ping Han, Cong Ma, Tian-Sheng Mei

“…Additionally, the absence of a sacrificial anode lays a foundation for scalability. The combination of cyclic voltammetry analysis with electrode potential studies suggests that NiI species activate aryl halides via oxidative addition and alkyl chlorides via single electron transfer.…”

Tracking solid electrolyte interphase dynamics using operando fibre-optic infra-red spectroscopy and multivariate curve regression by Cédric Leau, Yu Wang, Charlotte Gervillié-Mouravieff, Steven T Boles, Xiang-Hua Zhang, Simon Coudray, Catherine Boussard-Plédel, Jean-Marie Tarascon

“…By establishing molecular fingerprints that can be used to identify reaction products, IR-FEWS combined with MCR-ALS enables improved understanding of SEI evolution during cell formation with notable differences stemming from electrolyte or anode material. For example, despite operating at an elevated potential, lithium titanate’s SEI has intrinsic instability, evidenced by continued carbonate formation. …”
