Electrochemical reactions represent essential processes in fundamental chemistry that foster a wide range of applications. Although most electrochemical reactions in bulk substances can be well described by the classical Marcus-Gerischer charge transfer theory, the realistic reaction character and mechanism in dimensionally confined systems remain unknown. The oxidation rate is correlated quantitatively with various crystallographic and environmental parameters, including the density of reactive sites, humidity, temperature, and illumination fluence.

Ceramic coatings can suddenly break, but they do not fatigue
Extremely thin ceramic coatings can completely change the properties of technical components. Coatings are used, for example, to increase the resistance of metals to heat or corrosion. Coating processes play a role for large turbine blades as well as for extremely stressed tools in production technology. TU Wien (Vienna) has now investigated what determines the […]
Hot corrosion behaviour of HVAF coatings deposited on Fesingle bond25Crsingle bond20Ni support hanger material
hot Hot corrosion is a serious problem in petrochemical heaters, boilers, and gas turbines where a material with good oxidation resistance can oxidize severely in the presence of salts and oxides. Hot corrosion is a complex process which involves dissolution or weakening of the passive oxide layer responsible for oxidation resistance and promotion of oxidation […]
