Reaction Mechanisms of High-Rate Copper Electrochemical Machining in Nitrate Electrolytes

The high-rate electrochemical dissolution of copper in nitrate electrolytes is investigated primarily via polarization curves, while varying parameters such as the electrolyte flow velocity, the electrolyte resistance, the anode geometry, and the temperature. This study focuses on the re-rise in current at high voltages after the limiting current plateau. As a result of the studies, a change in the complexation mechanism from hydration to "solvo-nitration" is proposed, which requires an additional potential drop within the electrochemical double layer.

Electrocatalysis on copper–palladium alloys for amperometric formaldehyde sensing

A co-evaporated Cu–Pd thin film combinatorial library was screened for electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde by scanning droplet cell microscopy. The best activity was found for 7.5 at% Pd and an amperometric sensor was fabricated and tested.
