Nickel（Ⅱ） and boric acid concentrations, pH and temperature were varied to evaluate the changes in current efficiency and specific energy consumption of nickel electrodeposition. The catholyte was aqueous nickel（Ⅱ） sulfate and boric acid, and the anolyte was sulfuric acid solution. An anionic membrane separated the anolyte from the catholyte while maintained a conductive path between the two compartments. The results indicated that the cathode current efficiency increased with the increase of nickel concentration, pH and boric acid concentration, and decreased with the increase of current density and stirring rate. A maximum current efficiency of 97.15% was obtained under the optimized conditions of electrolyte composition of 40 g/L Ni and 40 g/L boric acid at temperature of 42 ℃ and pH of 6 with a cathode current density of 300 A/m2.展开更多

The field emission properties of the ZnO sheet array were investigated. The fluctuation of the field emission current is less than 5% over several hours. The Fowler Nordheim curves with a roughly linear characteristic were obtained by analysing the current density and the intensity of the electrical field. The results prove that such a simple electrochemical method can potentially meet the demands on the production of cold cathodes for field emission display.展开更多
