Tailoring the surface chemistry of metallic nanoparticles is generally a key step for their use
in a wide range of applications. There are few examples of organic films covalently bound to …

Thiourea (TU) is widely used as a corrosion inhibitor or as an additive in metal (eg, copper)
electroplating baths. TU facilitates the formation of uniform deposits with high brightness. In …

In this work, an unexpected enhancement of the Raman signal for uric acid during the
electrochemical oxidation of a silver electrode is presented. This behavior cannot be easily …

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy is a highly versatile tool for surface analysis.
Improving the SFG intensity per molecule is important for observing low concentrations of …

A novel method combined theoretical and experimental study for environmental friendly
silver electroplating was introduced. Quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamic …

In this paper, we introduce a new environmentally friendly silver electroplating bath,
employing 5, 5-dimethylhydantoin (DMH) and nicotinic acid (NA) as complexing agents …

Here, an easy and effective electrochemical route towards the synthesis of gold thin films
with well-controlled roughness, morphology and crystallographic orientation is reported. To …

Current microscale tracking of chemical kinetics is limited to destructive ex situ methods.
Here we utilize Ag nanocube-based plasmonic liquid marble (PLM) microreactor for in situ …

To evaluate the application of mirror-bright silver deposit from 5, 5-dimethylhydantoin (DMH)
and nicotinic acid (NA)–based cyanide-free silver electroplating bath, the performance …

In the present work, electrochemical surface oxidation enhanced Raman scattering (EC-
SOERS) was studied using time resolved Raman spectroelectrochemistry. This …
