    Effect of TiN thin films deposited by oblique angle sputter deposition on sol-gel coated TiO2 layers for photocatalytic applications
    (Elsevier, 2024) Naas, Lazhari-Ayoub; Bouaouina, Boudjemaa; Bensouici, Fayçal; Mokeddem, Kamel; Abaidia, Seddik-El-Hak
    TiO2 monolayer and TiN/TiO2 bilayer coatings were deposited on soda-lime glass prepared by mixing two techniques, TiO2 was deposited by sol-gel dip-coating and TiN film was deposited by oblique angle deposition using reactive magnetron sputtering at α=45° Structural analysis showed typical peaks of TiO2 anatase phase and cubic (Na-Cl type) structure of TiN. Roughness value of 3 nm was obtained for the TiN/TiO2 bilayer film with a rise and elongated grains size. It was found that the optical band gap energy decreases after coupling the TiN sub-layer which is explained by the incorporation of N atoms into TiO2 structure. At constant UV irradiation time, the photo-degradation of methylene blue rate increased for TiN/TiO2 film by 4 % compared to TiO2 film

    An estimate of a frequency characterizing the electrochemical stability of a gold electrode modified by MHDA thiol in different ways
    (Croatian Chemical Society, 2021) Chaibi, Sarah; Zabat, Mokhtar; Hadjersi, Toufik; Abaidia, Seddik-El-Hak; Zine, Nadia; Yaakoubi, Nourdin; Errachid, Abelhamid
    A theoretical investigation aimed at estimating a characteristic frequency in the medium-low frequency domain in which the impedance response of a given interface measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is almost constant, constitutes the basic idea of this work. A theoretical model was subsequently applied to the data resulting from EIS measurements performed on gold electrodes modified by various ways of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHDA) thiol functionalization. Analysis of these data revealed a direct relationship between the way the substrate was modified and this characteristic frequency

    High performance silicon nanowires/ruthenium nanoparticles micro-supercapacitors
    (Elsevier, 2019) Bencheikh, Yasmina; Harnois, Maxime; Jijie, Roxana; Addad, Ahmed; Roussel, Pascal; Szunerits, Sabine; Hadjersi, Toufik; Abaidia, Seddik-El-Hak; Boukherroub, Rabah
    The continuous increase of small electronic devices calls for small energy storage components, commonly known as micro-supercapacitors, that can ensure autonomous operation of these devices. In this work, we propose a simple and straightforward method to achieve high energy and power densities of a silicon-based micro-supercapacitor, consisting of silicon nanowires decorated with ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru/Si NWs). The Si NWs are obtained through the common vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism, while a simple electroless process is used to deposit Ru nanoparticles. While silicon nanostructuration allows to increase the surface area, coating with Ru NPs introduces a pseudocapacitance necessary to attain high energy and power densities. The Ru/Si NWs micro-supercapacitor exhibits a specific capacitance of 36.25 mF cm−2 at a current density of 1 mA cm−2 in a neutral Na2SO4 electrolyte and a high stability over 25 000 cycles under galvanostatic charge-discharge at 1 mA cm−2. A solid state supercapacitor is then fabricated with symmetric electrodes separated by a polyvinyl alcohol/sulfuric acid electrolyte. The device displays a specific capacitance of ∼18 mF cm−2 at a current density of 1 mA cm−2 and a specific power density 0.5 mW cm−2. This solid-state nanowire device also exhibits a good stability over 10 000 galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles

    Adsorption and diffusion of oxygen atom on UN2(100) surface and subsurface : a density functional theory study (DFT and DFT + U)
    (Springer, 2014) Zergoug, Toufik; Abaidia, Seddik-El-Hak; Nedjar, A.; Mokeddem, Mohamed Yazid
    In the present work, adsorption and dif fusion of oxygen (O) atom on uranium dinitride (UN2) is studied to map out the preferential UN2(100) surface site. The first principle method based on density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation PBE and the covariant version energy functional PBE + U correction were used. The supercell approach and a coverage dependence of the adsorption structures and energetic were studied in detail for several monolayers’ (ML) range. Potential energy surfaces (PES) corresponding to the interaction between O atom and UN2(100) on surface and subsurface for several sites and layers (Top U and Top N slabs) were calculated and favorable sites were identified with their maxima energy stable positions, which were then analyzed. For all positions, the PES show the same system behavior, when the O atom is sufficiently far from the UN2 surface, and the energy of the system tends to the sum of free UN2 slab and free oxygen atom energies. In return, when the distances decrease, strong interactions appear with presence of important potential wells. Calculation results showed that favored on-surface site for O atom adsorption were found to be near the bridge one for the UN (Top U slab) corresponding to five layers, uranium terminated and top one for (Top N slab) corresponding to six layers nitrogen terminated, the maximum system energy is situated at a position of about 1.2 and 1.5 Å from the surface for the two layers types calculations respectively. For subsurface results, only Top N presents a favorable incorporation site at the hollow position and the penetration of O atom is about −0.5 Å from the surface. DFT + U study confirms all the results obtained by DFT calculations; that is, the maxima site positions for oxygen atom and the adhesion energy values per atom are of the same order of magnitudes. The adsorption energy per oxygen atom and the mean distance from the top surface gradually decrease with the coverage of O atoms for both on-surface cases, Top U and Top N slabs, with oxygen occupying the favorable site. For the Top N slab hollow site, the incorporation of oxygen through the surface becomes effective from a coverage of 3/8 ML with an encrustation of about −0.3 Å
