Abstract
Owing to its abundance, high theoretical capacity, and low electrode potential, zinc is one of the most important metallic anodes for primary and secondary batteries such as alkaline and zinc-air batteries. In the operation of zinc-based batteries, passivation of the anode surface plays an essential role because the electrode potential of zinc is slightly below that of the hydrogen evolution reaction. Therefore, it is important to scrutinize the nature of the passivation film to achieve anticorrosion inside batteries. Herein, the potential-dependent formation and removal of the passivation film during the deposition and dissolution of zinc metal in aqueous electrolytes are detected via electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance analysis. Film formation was not noticeable in hydroxide-based electrolytes; however, sulfate-based electrolytes induced potential-dependent formation and removal of the passivation film, enabling a superior coulombic efficiency of 99.37% and significantly reducing the rate of corrosion of the zinc-metal anodes. These observations provide insights into the development of advanced electrolytes for safe and stable energy-storage devices based on zinc-metal anodes.

AKBEN HK, TİMUR Sİ. A comparative study of silver electrodeposition from pyrophosphate-cyanide and high concentration cyanide electrolytes in the presence of brighteners.

Abstract
A study of the electrodeposition of silver from 2 different types of electrolytes; (1) neutral pyrophosphatecyanide electrolyte and (2) alkaline high concentrated cyanide electrolyte in the presence of a variety of additives such as 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, potassium selenocyanate, and potassium antimony tartrate was performed. Influence of additives and cyanide concentration on microstructure and kinetics of the cathodic processes were studied. A brightener couple, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and potassium antimony tartrate, were combined within this investigation and detected to be highly effective for silver electrodeposition. The rapid increase in current density at the same potential interval related to grain refinement effect of potassium antimony tartrate was shown. The cyclic organic compound, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, polarizes the reduction to high cathodic potential in pyrophosphate electrolyte. However, the sufficient levelling effect required for the mirror-bright appearance seems to be related to the high polarizing effect of the high concentration cyanide content. In the case of pyrophosphate electrolytes, sufficient levelling cannot be achieved, so semigloss coatings are obtained. The low cathodic potential electrodeposition of silver in pyrophosphate electrolyte, which is found to proceed by 3D instantaneous nucleation, is polarized to high cathodic potentials and grows into 3D progressive nucleation and diffusion-controlled growth in high concentration cyanide electrolyte.

Abstract
Understanding the interface between DNA and nanomaterials is crucial for rational design and optimization of biosensors and drug delivery systems. For detection and delivery into cells, where high concentrations of cellular proteins are present, another layer of complexity is added. In this context, we employ polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a model polymer to mimic the excluded volume effect of cellular proteins and to test its effects on DNA adsorption and hybridization on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and graphene oxide (GO), both of which show great promise for designing intracellular biosensors and drug delivery systems. We show that PEG 20000 (e.g., 4%) accelerates DNA hybridization to DNA-functionalized AuNPs by 50-100%, but this enhanced hybridization kinetics has not been observed with free DNA. Therefore, this rate enhancement is attributed to the surface blocking effect by PEG instead of the macromolecular crowding effect. On the other hand, DNA adsorption on citrate-capped AuNP surfaces is impeded even in the presence of a trace level (i.e., parts per billion) of PEG, confirming PEG competes with DNA for surface binding sites. Additional insights have been obtained by studying the adsorption of a thiolated DNA and a peptide nucleic acid. In these cases, the steric effects of PEG to impede adsorption are observed. Similar observations have also been made with GO. Therefore, PEG may be used as an effective blocking agent for both hydrophilic AuNP and for GO that also contains hydrophobic domains.

Abstract
This study employed real-time in situ STM imaging to examine the adsorption of PEG molecules on Pt(111) modified by a monolayer of copper adatoms and the subsequent bulk Cu deposition in 1 M H(2)SO(4) + 1 mM CuSO(4)+ 1 mM KCl + 88 μM PEG. At the end of Cu underpotential deposition (~0.35 V vs Ag/AgCl), a highly ordered Pt(111)-(√3 × √7)-Cu + HSO(4)(-) structure was observed in 1 M H(2)SO(4) + 1 mM CuSO(4). This adlattice restructured upon the introduction of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG, molecular weight 200) and chloride anions. At the onset potential for bulk Cu deposition (~0 V), a Pt(111)-(√3 × √3)R30°-Cu + Cl(-) structure was imaged with a tunneling current of 0.5 nA and a bias voltage of 100 mV. Lowering the tunneling current to 0.2 nA yielded a (4 × 4) structure, presumably because of adsorbed PEG200 molecules. The subsequent nucleation and deposition processes of Cu in solution containing PEG and Cl(-) were examined, revealing the nucleation of 2- to 3-nm-wide CuCl clusters on an atomically smooth Pt(111) surface at overpotentials of less than 50 mV. With larger overpotential (η > 150 mV), Cu deposition seemed to bypass the production of CuCl species, leading to layered Cu deposition, starting preferentially at step defects, followed by lateral growth to cover the entire Pt electrode surface. These processes were observed with both PEG200 and 4000, although the former tended to produce more CuCl nanoclusters. Raising [H(2)SO(4)] to 1 M substantiates the suppressing effect of PEG on Cu deposition. This STM study provided atomic- or molecular-level insight into the effect of PEG additives on the deposition of Cu.
