Rhodium As A Ubiquitous Substrate For Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy, Bin Ren, Xu Feng Lin, Zhong Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

Raman Spectroscopy is a powerful technique in characterizing the molecular structure at the molecular level. However, only after the discovery of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, has it become one of the most widely used technique in surface sciences. The limitation that only Ag, Au and Cu can produce prominent SERS signal of practical significance, greatly hinders the application of this technique. Recently our group has made great progress in extending SERS to pure transition metal surfaces, such as Pt, Ni, Fe, Co etc [1] .

The Charge Transfer Effect Of Sers Induced By The Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction, Feng-Ming Liu, Qi Han, Yan Xia Chen, Qi Ling Zhong, Bin Ren, Zhong Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

As one of the important mechanisms of SERS, the charge transfer (CT) enhancement requires the strong interaction of the adsorbed species with the substrate in order to permit the transition of charge between the metal Fermi level (energy state) and the molecular orbital [1] . The high enhancement needs the match of the energy gap between the Fermi level (or surface state) and the orbital energy level of the adsorbed molecules with the energy of the incident light. The electrode Fermi level is usually adjusted by the applied potential to satisfy the CT resonance. For the electrochemical reaction process, the …

The Difference Of The Geometrical Thickness And The Electrochemical Apparent Effective Thickness Of Self-Assembled Monolayers, Xiao Cui, Li Li

Journal of Electrochemistry

The geometrical thickness, which was obtained from the capacitance of membrane, can be used to characterize the existence of membrane. The apparent effective thickness, which is analyzed from the electron transfer constant of transmembrane, can be used to determine the degree of “collapsed" of molecules. Though the two thicknesses were different in value, there was no contradiction. The influence on the geometrical thickness is little, but the effect to the apparent effective thickness is great from the small “collapsed" area in the membrane from the given calculation.

In addition, discharge voltage and discharge capacity drop fast at the beginning, gradually leveled off at about a value. If the discharge current was increased, the discharge capacity was obviously less …

Electrochemical Investigations Of Semiconductor Silicon Wafers, Xuan Cheng, Chang Jian Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrochemical characteristics of semiconductor silicon wafers were investigated in dilute hydrofluoric acid solutions using DC polarization and AC impedance techniques under both illuminated and dark conditions. Both techniques were extremely sensitive to the trace amount (10 -9 wt% level) of copper presented in solutions, but only sensitive to the 10 -6 wt% level of non ionic surfactant OHS contained in solutions. The results revealed that the electrochemical reactions took place favorably and became predominated at silicon/solution interface under illuminated condition.
