The electrochemical method is efficient, cost effective, and environmentally friendly process. Copper nanopowder has been known, as a nontoxic, inexpensive, highly conductive, excellent microbial agent, catalytic, and sensors applicable. Copper nanopowder was prepared by an electrochemical method under various conditions. The effect of type and concentration of electrolyte solution, and the sample treated with thiourea and ascorbic acid on the size and purity of copper nanopowder was investigated. Two different salts copper: sulfate and nitrate aqueous solutions (CuSO4.5H2O), Cu(NO3)2.5H2O were used to produce copper nanopowder. The synthesized copper nanopowder was identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD), the scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS). The results of XRD patterns revealed a high degree of crystallinity, monophasic nature, and pure copper powder with no impurities or oxides observed for both electrolyte solutions after treated with 2 percent of ascorbic acid. It was confirmed that particle size at room temperature was as small as 25nm when the copper nitrate is used as an electrolyte solution compared to copper sulfate (41nm).

In this work, we present the effect of preparation temperature of electrolytes for fabricating undoped and silver (Ag) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes by the electrochemical anodic oxidation of pure titanium sheets in electrolytes, mixtures of ethylene glycol (EG), ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and deionized water, that contain with different of silver ions. Heat treatment of electrolytes was carried out at 100 °C during preparation process. The morphology and structure of prepared nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The structures of TiO2 nanotubes obtained from heat treatment and non-heat treatment of electrolyte solutions and adding silver ions in electrolyte solution are similar. The nanotubes appear in arrays and the diameters of nanotubes were about 92 nm for non-heat treatment electrolyte solution and undoped TiO2 and about 102 nm for heat treatment electrolyte solution and all Ag-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays. When the concentration of silver nitrate (AgNO3) increases, the TiO2 nanotube arrays cracked and are not well arranged.

In this work, a PPy actuator was fabricated by galvanostatic electropolymerization. The electrochemical deformation behaviors of the PPy actuator were investigated in aqueous solutions of an electrolyte, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl)imide (LiTFSI), containing different concentrations of methanol. Marked improvement of the actuating strain of approximately 9% was achieved when the actuator was driven by a potential between –1 and 1 V in the LiTFSI electrolyte containing 40 to 50% of methanol under a load stress of 0. 3 MPa. On the other hand, the actuator functioned in the electrolyte solutions containing more than 60% of methanol showed rapid decrease of the actuating strain and the electrochemical creep after repeated actuations. Possible mechanisms for these behaviors were discussed.
