Verbena officinalis (VO) leaf extract as an anti-corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in acidic environment.

In the present work, Verbena Officinalis (VO) leaf extract was used as potential corrosion inhibitor for the corrosion of carbon steel (CS) in 0.5 M HSO medium. Further, the corrosion inhibiting nature of VO leaf extract towards the CS was evaluated using mass loss (ML), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and surface morphological analyses using atomic force microscope (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques.

Aizoon extract as an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for stainless steel 430 in HCl solution.

Aizoon extract is used as an eco-friendly anti-corrosive material for stainless steel 430 (SS430) in a 2 M hydrochloric acid solution. Many strategies were utilized to estimate the mitigation efficacy such as mass reduction (MR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). The inhibition percentage (%) increases by increasing the concentration of Aizoon and reaches 95.

A Stability Study of Ni/Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Anode for Direct Ammonia Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

In recent years, solid oxide fuel cells fueled with ammonia have been attracting intensive attention. In this work, ammonia fuel was supplied to the Ni/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) cermet anode at 600 and 700 °C, and the change of electrochemical performance and microstructure under the open-circuit state was studied in detail. The influence of ammonia exposure on the microstructure of Ni was also investigated by using Ni/YSZ powder and Ni film deposited on a YSZ disk.

Electrochemical and catalytic properties of Ni/BaCe0.75Y0.25O3-δ anode for direct ammonia-fueled solid oxide fuel cells.

In this study, Ni/BaCe0.75Y0.25O3-δ (Ni/BCY25) was investigated as an anode for direct ammonia-fueled solid oxide fuel cells.
