The objective of this work is to study the process of phosphatizing with manganese by immersion. In the literature there is not enough information on the phosphate process with manganese phosphate, hence the main contribution of the present. The methodology involves an electrochemical study, using open circuit potential techniques in order to follow the kinetics of the process. In the same way, the characterization of the coating formed on the surface of each steel used was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy. Through this technique, the time was found in which the internal layer of the coating developed on the phosphatized substrates, both on the rough and the rough sides of the steel samples. The results obtained show that the formation of the manganese phosphate coating on the steels depends both on the grain size of the steels at the beginning of the process, as well as on the surface finish to which the steel surface is subjected, resulting in an increase in the size of the crystals, and affecting the rate of disintegration and growth of the same.

AbstractWe have observed a significant light-induced increase in the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of mixed-phase hydrogenated silicon solar cells. In this study, we investigate the kinetics of the light-induced effects. The results show that the cells with different initial Voc have different kinetic behavior. For the cells with a low initial Voc (less than 0.8 V), the increase in Voc is slow and does not saturate for light-soaking time of up to 16 hours. For the cells with medium initial Voc (0.8 ∼ 0.95 V), the Voc increases rapidly and then saturates. Cells with high initial Voc (0.95 ∼ 0.98 V) show an initial increase in Voc, followed bya Voc decrease. All light-soaked cells exhibit a degradation in fill factor. The temperature dependence of the kinetics shows that light soaking at high temperatures causes Voc increase to saturate faster than at low temperatures. The observed results can be explained by our recently proposed two-diode equivalent-circuit model for mixed-phase solar cells.

<p><i>Operando</i> spectroelectrochemical analysis is used to determine the water oxidation reaction kinetics for hematite photoanodes prepared using four different synthetic procedures. Whilst these photoanodes exhibit very different current / voltage performance, their underlying water oxidation kinetics are found to be almost invariant. Lower photoanode performance was found to correlate with the observation of optical signals indicative of charge accumulation in mid-gap oxygen vacancy states, indicating these states do not contribute directly to water oxidation.</p>
