In this paper, combining phosphorescence and fluorescence to form white light was realized based on DCJTB:PMMA/ITO/NPB/TCTA/FIrpic:TCTA/TPBi/Ir(ppy)3:TPBi/TPBi/Cs2CO3/Al. The effects of red fluorescence on this white light device was studied by adjusting the concentration of DCJTB. The study shows that the device with a DCJTB concentration of 0.7% in the color conversion layer (CCL) generates a peak current efficiency and power efficiency of 23.4 cd ⋅ A[Formula: see text] and 7.5 lm ⋅ W[Formula: see text], respectively. And it is closest to the equal-energy white point of (0.33, 0.33) which shows a CIE (Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage) coordinate of (0.35, 0.43) and a color rendering index (CRI) of 70 at current density of 10 mA ⋅ cm[Formula: see text]. In order to improve the efficiency, we design and fabricate both high efficient and pure white organic light-emitting diode (WOLED) by replacing the single blue emission layer (EML) with double EMLs of FIrpic:TCTA and FIrpic:TPBi. The further study shows that, when the layers of EML is three and the concentration of DCJTB at 0.7%, the device exhibits good performance specifically, at current density of 10 mA ⋅ cm[Formula: see text], the current efficiency of 28.2 cd ⋅ A[Formula: see text] (power efficiency of 10.3 lm ⋅ W[Formula: see text]), and the CIE coordinate of (0.33, 0.31) (CRI of 80.38).

The electrochemical deposition by pulse current of Zn-Co alloy coatings on steel was examined, with the aim to find out whether pulse plating could produce alloys that could offer a better corrosion protection. The influence of on-time and the average current density on the cathodic current efficiency, coating morphology, surface roughness and corrosion stability in 3% NaCl was examined. At the same Ton/Toff ratio the current efficiency was insignificantly smaller for deposition at higher average current density. It was shown that, depending on the on-time, pulse plating could produce more homogenous alloy coatings with finer morphology, as compared to deposits obtained by direct current. The surface roughness was the greatest for Zn-Co alloy coatings deposited with direct current, as compared with alloy coatings deposited with pulse current, for both examined average current densities. It was also shown that Zn-Co alloy coatings deposited by pulse current could increase the corrosion stability of Zn-Co alloy coatings on steel. Namely, alloy coatings deposited with pulse current showed higher corrosion stability, as compared with alloy coatings deposited with direct current, for almost all examined cathodic times, Ton. Alloy coatings deposited at higher average current density showed greater corrosion stability as compared with coatings deposited by pulse current at smaller average current density. It was shown that deposits obtained with pulse current and cathodic time of 10 ms had the poorest corrosion stability, for both investigated average deposition current density. Among all investigated alloy coatings the highest corrosion stability was obtained for Zn-Co alloy coatings deposited with pulsed current at higher average current density (jav = 4 A dm-2).

In the present work, the electrodeposition process of Zn-Cr alloy coatings under the conditions of direct and pulse current was discussed. Changes in the Cr content in the obtained alloy coatings, current efficiency of the process, surface morphology, structure and microhardness as a function of chromium(III) concentration in the bath to deposition, current density (direct and pulse) and solution mixing were determined. Surface morphology, structure and hardness of the obtained coatings were investigated. The Zn-Cr alloy coatings of good quality contained up to 0.25 %Cr (for direct current) and up to 9% Cr (for pulse current). The tested Zn-Cr alloy coatings obtained under pulse current conditions showed higher microhardness than the Zn-Cr coatings obtained under direct current conditions and than zinc coatings.

The paper considers a method used to determine Faraday current efficiency (CeF) based on the ratio of partial currents of metal and hydrogen reduction. To calculate the Faraday current efficiency based on polarization measurements, it is necessary to know the working current density and potential (Ei) at which the metal is deposited in the corresponding solution, as well as kinetic parameters of hydrogen evolution for determining the partial current density of hydrogen (iН2 ) at this potential. The proposed method was used to calculate current efficiency for the processes of nickel extraction and nickel coating application from solutions containing nickel sulfate at current density of 300 A/m2. The study allowed to determine kinetic parameters of hydrogen evolution by the polarization curve obtained in the background electrolyte solution containing 120 g/l of magnesium sulfate and 18 g/l of boric acid at pH = 3.9. An equation was obtained to calculate the partial current density of hydrogen evolution at any potential by kinetic parameters. The use of kinetic regularities made it possible to calculate nickel CeF in sulphate solutions of different composition and with different pH values (3.0 and 4.1). The calculated CeF values within the margin of error coincide with the current efficiency value determined by the gravimetric method using a copper coulometer. It is shown that the division of the «total current efficiency» (CeΣ), which is a commercial indicator, into Faraday (CeF) and apparatus (Ceap) indicators in combination with the method using partial polarization provide additional information about the degree of process perfection.

<p>In this study, the application of Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti electrodes for the treatment of waste streams were investigated which is promising for ozone production by electrolysis of water because of their stability and high potential for ozone evolution reaction. These series of anodes have a high electrochemical ozone generation potential at ambient conditions (approximately up to 40% current efficiency). But using and testing of these novel anodes for real wastewater are too limited in the literature. Titanium mesh substrate coated with Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti alloy was used as anode immersed in wastewater at room temperature with platinized titanium cathode. These electrodes used for COD and color removal from OID wastewater in Inegol, Bursa, Turkey. Five operational parameters were evaluated for electrochemical COD and color removal processes, such as pH, salt content, applied voltage/current, current efficiency and contact time. Experimental results showed that after 30 min the electrochemical oxidation efficiency of COD and color could reach up to 98% and 99% respectively at pH 8.2 and temperature of 25°C as the optimum conditions. Current density observed as the most effective parameter for COD and color removal efficiencies. The lowest energy consumption was between 10-25 mA cm-2 of current density with only 0.6 kWh gCOD−1, while the highest energy consumption was 100 mA cm-2 of current density with 9.12 kWh gCOD−1 . The optimum current density value has been found as 50 mA cm-2 with 4.05 kWh gCOD−1 . These results were also supported with ANOVA test.</p>

The direct electro oxidation of dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) to dimethylsulphone (DMSO2) at a Pb/PbO2 anode and electro reduction of maleic acid (MA) to succinic acid (SA) at stainless steel cathode have been has been carried out in methane sulphonic acid (MSA) medium in a batch divided cell. It is to be noted that, as methane sulphonic acid medium (MAS) is biodegradable, it is a preferred medium for the electrochemical reactions.The process parameters such as concentration of MSA, DMSO and current density have been critically examined and the comparative performances of Pb/PbO2 with TSIA electrode as well as the reusing of electrolyte under optimum conditions have been investigated. The reaction parameters such as acid concentration, current density, the use of divided and undivided cells, etc. have been studied on electrochemical reduction of MA to SA.In the case of direct electro oxidation of dimethylsulphoxide to dimethylsulphone, the current efficiency on TSIA anode has been around 60- 65% while that with Pb/PbO2 has been more than 90%. The electro reduction of MA to SA has given current efficiency around 65 – 70%. Based on the result obtained on trials, the optimum parameters of the reaction found to be 1.0 M acid concentration and 5.0 A dm-2 current density. Divided cell has given good results when compared to undivided cell.
