Although the pulse-current electrodeposition method is a commonly used technique, it has not been widely employed in electrode preparation. This method was applied to sintered nickel electrodes in a nickel salt solution containing additives. The active material that was obtained, nickel hydroxide, was studied using different characterization techniques. Electrodes impregnated with pulse current had higher capacity than those impregnated with continuous current. The active material is homogeneous and compact with optimum loading and good performance during discharge. These characteristics would provide a large amount of energy in a short time due to an increase in the electrode kinetic reaction.

Copper oxide particles were electrodeposited onto indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates. Electrodeposition was carried out in the electrolyte containing cupric sulphate, boric acid and glucopone. Both continuous and pulse currents methods were used in the process with platinum electrode, saturated calomel electrode (SCE) and ITO electrode as the counter, reference and working electrode respectively. The deposited particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that, using continuous current deposition, the deposited particles were mixture of Cu2O and CuO particles. By adding glucopone in the electrolyte, particles with spherical shapes were produced. Electrodeposition by using pulse current, uniform cubical shaped Cu2O particles were produced

Rechargeable Mg batteries have received intensive attention as affordable rechargeable batteries with high electromotive force, high energy density, and high safety. Mg possesses two valence electrons and has the lowest standard electrode potential (ca. -2.36 V vs. SHE) among the air-stable metals. There is another advantage that Mg metal can be used as an active material because Mg metal hardly forms dendrites. However, the slow diffusion of Mg ions in solid crystals prevents the realization of active materials for Mg rechargeable batteries at room temperature. Although some complex oxides have been reported to work as active materials at higher temperatures, Chevrel compounds are still the gold standards, which work at room temperature. However, the working voltage of the Mg battery using a Chevrel compound for the cathode is only ca. 1.2 V, which is far below that of Li-ion batteries (3-5 V). Nevertheless, Chevrel compounds have the significant advantage that a relatively large space exists in the crystal structure, which allows for fast Mg ion diffusion. In the present study, we investigated some materials with framework structures as cathodes for Mg batteries, which can alleviate the electrostatic constraint between Mg ions and cathode constituents. Specifically, we investigated the redox behavior of the thin films of Prussian blue and Prussian blue analogues in electrolytes containing an Mg salt using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In addition, we discuss the electrochemical insertion/extraction behavior of Mg ions and their solvation structures.
