Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues

This Special Issue is devoted to different aspects of solid state electrochemistry. In recent years, there has been darting growth in the area. This is not surprising, because solid state electrochemical properties of advanced materials are very important for the following fields: semiconductor electrochemistry, electrochemical storage and fuel cells, solid-state electrochemical sensors, electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, corrosion and solid state electroanalysis. Further, the use of quantum chemical calculations in studies of the mechanisms of electrochemical reactions is important in order to deepen its understanding.

The Special Issue focuses on fundamental and applied aspects of the electrochemical properties of novel compounds.

The main purpose of the Special Issue on “Experimental and Theoretical Aspects of Solid State Electrochemistry” is to be an open forum where researchers may share their investigations and findings in this promising field. Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research or review articles, may cover all aspects of electrochemistry; studies with multidisciplinary input, offering new methodologies or insights, are particularly welcome.

Nickel nanopillar arrays were electrodeposited onto silicon substrates using porous alumina membranes as a template. The characterization of the samples was done by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and alternating force gradient magnetometry. Ni nanostructures were directly grown on Si by galvanostatic and potentiostatic electrodeposition techniques in three remarkable charge transfer configurations. Differences in the growth mechanisms of the nanopillars were observed, depending on the deposition method. A high correlation between the height of the nanopillars and the charge synthesis was observed irrespective of the electrochemical technique. The magnetization measurements demonstrated a main dependence with the height of the nanopillars. The synthesis of Ni nanosystems with a controllable aspect ratio provides an effective way to produce well-ordered networks for wide scientific applications. Full article
