New real-time analytical applications of electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance

Growth and Transformation Mechanism of Ternary CuAgSe Dendrites from Binary Ag2Se Dendrites

“…[12,13] The present interest in the synthesis of CuAgSe has been provoked by the report that a CuAgSe polycrystalline membrane has been commercialized for Cu 2+ ion-selective electrodes with a lifetime as long as ten years. [14] Recently, CuAgSe films have been electrochemically synthesized by a technique for electrochemical atomic layer epitaxy deposition for chalcogenides [15,16] first proposed by Stickney. [17] In this paper, we report the design of a new nano approach to grow ternary CuAgSe dendrites at room temperature by inheriting the initial dendritic structures of Ag 2 Se reagents, and Cu nanoparticles and Se powders are used to feed the growth in aqueous ammonia solution.…”

Nanotube–nanotube transformation synthesis and electrochemistry of crystalline CuAgSe nanotubes

“…However, unlike silver and copper selenides that have broadly been studied, CuAgSe has rarely been synthesized and studied. Recently, the CuAgSe films were electrochemically synthesized by carefully controlling various electrochemical conditions and monitoring of electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) [17,18]. The CuAgSe agglomerates were thermochemically prepared by heating the mixture of Ag, Cu, and Se over 1000 K, with several heating and cooling processes [19,20].…”

EQCM study of electrochemical modification of Bi2S3 films in the Zn2+-containing electrolyte

“…This technique has been widely used for investigation of electrochemical deposition of binary [28][29][30][31][32][33][34] or ternary chalkogenides [35][36][37]. In our previous publications [23][24][25] we used the bismuth sulfide film as an activator for direct Ni deposition.…”
