Cyclic voltammetric and in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroelectrochemical studies on the reaction of Cd2+ on the plussian blue/platinum modified electrode

Plussian blue(PB)/Pt modified electrode Tvas studied in the CdCl2 electrolyte solution by cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroelectrochemistry. It was found that Cadmium ion was capable of substituting the high-spin iron of PB in an electrochemically induced substitution reaction and hexacyanoferrate cadmium (CdHCF) can be formed in the PB film. But PB and CdHCF in mixture film showed their own electrochemistry properties without serious effect on each other. The mechanism of substitution reaction has been given in detail.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND IN-SITU IR MICROSPECTROELECTROCHEMISTRY IN A VERSATILE THIN-LAYER REFLECTION FOURIER-TRANSFORM IR MICROSPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

A simple, convenient and versatile thin layer reflection Fourier transform IR microspectroelectrochemical (FTIRMSEC) cell has been described and characterized. Electrochemistry and in situ FTIR microspectroscopy were studied by using the hexacyanoferrate redox couple in aqueous sulphate solution, indicating that this type of cell is characteristic of both micro- or ultramicroelectrode and thin layer spectroelectrochemistry. Furthermore, the application of this FTIRMSEC cell to IR for characterization of the products of electrochemical reactions was carried out for the oxidation of (mesotetraphenylporphinato)manganese(III) perchlorate in dichloromethane + tetrabutylammonium perchlorate solution. Finally, the advantages and problems of this type of cell compared with a conventional optically transparent thin layer FTIR spectroelectrochemical cell were discussed.

64-point Fourier transform chip for digital television applications

A 64-point Fourier transform chip is described that performs a forward or inverse, 64-point Fourier transform on complex two's complement data supplied at a rate of 13.5MHz and can operate at clock rates of up to 40MHz, under worst-case conditions. It uses a 0.6µm double-level metal CMOS technology, contains 535k transistors and uses an internal 3.3V power supply. It has an area of 7.8×8mm, dissipates 0.9W, has 48 pins and is housed in a 84 pin PLCC plastic package. The chip is based on a FFT architecture developed from first principles through a detailed investigation of the structure of the relevant DFT matrix and through mapping repetitive blocks within this matrix onto a regular silicon structure.

Bit-level systolic array implementation of the Winograd Fourier transform algorithm

A bit level systolic array system is proposed for the Winograd Fourier transform algorithm. The design uses bit-serial arithmetic and, in common with other systolic arrays, features nearest-neighbor interconnections, regularity and high throughput. The short interconnections in this method contrast favorably with the long interconnections between butterflies required in the FFT. The structure is well suited to VLSI implementations. It is demonstrated how long transforms can be implemented with components designed to perform a short length transform. These components build into longer transforms preserving the regularity and structure of the short length transform design.

A 64-point fourier transform chip for video motion compensation using phase correlation

Details of a new low power fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor for use in digital television applications are presented. This has been fabricated using a 0.6-µm CMOS technology and can perform a 64 point complex forward or inverse FFT on real-time video at up to 18 Megasamples per second. It comprises 0.5 million transistors in a die area of 7.8 × 8 mm and dissipates 1 W. The chip design is based on a novel VLSI architecture which has been derived from a first principles factorization of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix and tailored to a direct silicon implementation.

Fourier Transform using a Rotman Lens

In this paper, the design constraints that are required for a Rotman lens to realize discrete Fourier transform (DFT) amplitude and phase functionality are derived. A Fourier Rotman lens has been designed, fabricated and validated. The amplitude and phase response and the array pattern based on the CST™ results are validated with the theoretical DFT results. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first Fourier Rotman lens to be fabricated and validated. The solution provided replaces multilayer Butler matrix solutions with a simple single layer microstrip technology.

Development of a Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) Cell for the In Situ Analysis of Co-Electrolysis in a Solid Oxide Cell

Co-electrolysis of carbon dioxide and steam has been shown to be an efficient way to produce syngas, however further optimisation requires detailed understanding of the complex reactions, transport processes and degradation mechanisms occurring in the solid oxide cell (SOC) during operation. Whilst electrochemical measurements are currently conducted in situ, many analytical techniques can only be used ex situ and may even be destructive to the cell (e.g. SEM imaging of microstructure). In order to fully understand and characterise co-electrolysis, in situ monitoring of the reactants, products and SOC is necessary. Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) is ideal for in situ monitoring of co-electrolysis as both gaseous and adsorbed CO and CO2 species can be detected, however it has previously not been used for this purpose. The challenges of designing an experimental rig which allows optical access alongside electrochemical measurements at high temperature and operates in a dual atmosphere are discussed. The rig developed has thus far been used for symmetric cell testing at temperatures from 450[degree]C to 600[degree]C. Under a CO atmosphere, significant changes in spectra were observed even over a simple Au|10Sc1CeSZ|Au SOC. The changes relate to a combination of CO oxidation, the water gas shift reaction and carbonate formation and decomposition processes, with the dominant process being both potential and temperature dependent.
