Source: Okamoto, A., et al. Self-standing Electrochemical Set-up to Enrich Anode-respiring Bacteria On-site. J. Vis. Exp. (2018)This video demonstrates the use of an on-site electrochemical system to enrich anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) from natural reservoirs. A redox gradient is established by placing the anode in oxygen-free deep water and the cathode in oxygen-rich surface water. ARB form biofilms and transfer electrons to the anode, which flows to the cathode, where oxygen is reduced,...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has shown initial therapeutic effects in several neurological conditions. The main mechanism underlying these therapeutic effects is the modulation of cortical excitability. Therefore, online monitoring of cortical excitability would help guide stimulation parameters and optimize its therapeutic effects. In the present article we review the use of a novel device that combines simultaneous tDCS and...

2020
Anodization parameters for growth of the aluminum-oxide dielectric layer of zinc-oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) are varied to determine the effects on the electrical parameter responses. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is applied to a Plackett-Burman design of experiments (DOE) to determine the manufacturing conditions that result in optimized device performance.
FAQs
The applied electrical potential drives oxidation at the selected surfaces, while the electrolyte provides the conducting path required to complete the circuit. These two elements allow oxide formation to proceed across multiple regions during the same treatment. The key engineering benefit is coordinated surface modification, avoiding separate electrochemical processing for each exposed face.
Surface selection determines which regions of a component participate in oxidation and receive the resulting oxide layer. This matters when a part contains several exposed faces or both internal and external regions. Deliberately selecting the treatment surfaces helps align coating formation with the component’s functional requirements, such as protection, wear resistance, or surface functionalization.
Simultaneous multi-surface anodization treats several selected regions during one electrochemical operation, whereas sequential treatment processes those regions one after another. The concurrent approach can improve processing efficiency and support more consistent treatment of complex components. Its value is greatest when multiple faces or internal and external areas require related oxide coatings.
A treatment begins by identifying the component surfaces that require oxidation and establishing an electrochemical arrangement in which the electrolyte can complete the circuit. An applied electrical potential is then used to drive oxidation at the selected regions. The resulting oxide layers form concurrently, allowing the component to receive coordinated surface treatment in one operation.
Geometry affects which surfaces are exposed for treatment and whether a component includes both external and internal regions. Simultaneous processing is particularly relevant to parts with several exposed faces or complex arrangements of surfaces. Addressing these regions in one treatment can promote more consistent oxide formation than handling each area through unrelated processing steps.
This approach supports components that need protective or functional oxide coatings across more than one region. Reported applications include corrosion protection, improved wear resistance, surface functionalization, and fabrication of engineered components requiring controlled oxide layers. Treating several surfaces concurrently can also reduce processing demands when a part would otherwise require separate surface treatments.
