Feature articls. Doped glassy carbon: a new material for electrocatalysis

Human hair-derived hollow carbon microfibers for electrochemical sensing

“…Its high corrosion resistance and inertness make glassy carbon ideal for applications in extremely corrosive environments, such as crucibles for decomposition of ores. It has also been widely used as an electrode material for electrochemical applications as it resists both strong acids and bases [5,6]. Microfabrication of carbon devices is a relatively new field.…”

Titanium Carbide Thin‐Film Electrodes: Characterization and Evaluation as Working Electrodes

“…After the structural and morphological analysis, the TiC coated titanium samples were inserted in a Teflon body to construct electrodes with a geometric area of 0.28 cm 2 . The ohmic contacts were obtained by an Ag-based conductive glue (Chemtronics, France).…”

“…Much of this effort has involved carbon-based materials, such as glassy carbon and carbon paste, which have already had success in the last decades, particularly in the positive potential range for studying oxidations. Additionally, boron-doped diamond electrodes have been realised; these exhibit a wide potential window in both the positive and negative directions [2,3]. Ti-doped nanocomposite diamond electrodes have been also studied previously, in our laboratory [4].…”

Tribological Characteristics of the Magnesium Matrix-Glassy Carbon Particles Composite Manufactured by Different Casting Methods

“…The application of glassy carbon particles [1,2] as a component of a metal matrix composite can be a way of modifying the tribological properties of metal-based materials [3][4][5] and it is proposed for composites with matrixes made of aluminium and magnesium alloys. However, the properties of the new materials designed and obtained under precisely controlled conditions in the laboratory scale must be verified in the case when they are manufactured in the industrial scale.…”
