When the surfactant in the micro-emulsion system is quaternary ammonium cationic Gemini surfactant, the surfactant mainly combines with the anions in the salt. With the increase of salt concentration, the phase transformation of Winsor I → Winsor III → Winsor II occurred, but the optimum salinity and salt width are different because of the type of salt. The effects of 5 different kinds of monovalent anions, including C_6H_5SO_3^-, I-, Br-, NO_3^- and Cl-, on the phase behavior and solubilization of quaternary ammonium cationic Gemini micro-emulsion are researched by Winsor phase diagram. It is found that the effects of organic anions C_6H_5SO_3-and I-on the phase behavior and solubilization of quaternary ammonium cationic Gemini micro-emulsion are most significant, and the effects of Br-, NO_3^- and Cl-are less significant. Meanwhile, when the optimum solubilization is achieved, the amount of sodium benzoate is the least, indicating that the organic anion has stronger self-organization behavior with quaternary ammonium cationic Gemini surfactants.展开更多

In this study, an ED stack with monovalent selective AEMs and conventional CEMs was employed to separate the Cl-and SO42-from simulated wastewater. The effect of current density and mass fraction percentage was investigated in order to optimize the experimental conditions during ED process. It was found that at a concentration ratio between NaCl and Na2SO4 of 95/5(wt%/wt%) and a current density of40 m A·cm^-2, a current efficiency of 72%, an energy consumption of 1.6 k W·h·kg^-1 Na Cl and a Cl-/SO4^2-concentration(67.5/3.5 g·L^-1) were obtained. Hence, it is appropriate and effective to separate Cl-and SO42-by ED using the monovalent selective AEMs.展开更多

The phosphor＇s phase purity and its emission properties were studied using powder X-ray diffraction pattern and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The synthesized YAB had rhomobohedral crystal structure. The phosphor had two different excitation and emission spectra. By 325 nm excitation, the phosphor had emission at 373 nm and with 363 nm excitation; the phosphor gave violet-blue emission at 418 nm. The UV emission of the phosphor originated due to Ce3＋ ions at the yttrium site and violet-blue emission owing to Ce3＋ ions at non-regular sites viz., A13＋ and interstitial sites. The emission intensity of the phosphor was enhanced when monovalent ions （K＋, Na＋, and F） were added as co-dopants. The crucial role of ionic radii of monovalent co-dopants on the emission enhancement of the YAB：Ce3＋ phosphor was reported. Thermogravimetric study showed that the YAB possessed high thermal stability at up to 900 ℃.展开更多

Various methods such as the X-ray fluorescence(XRF), X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), and atomic absorption spectroscopy(AAS) were used to characterize the final synthesized absorbents. Batch technique was used to study the adsorption behavior of uranium ions from polluted drinking water by Na X nanozeolite and its modified forms. In order to better understand the performance of them, the results were compared with those that were obtained for synthesizing bulk NaX zeolite and Na-form of clinoptilolite natural zeolite. Preliminary results indicated that uranium sorption increased as the loading level of CuO nanoparticles on NaX nanozeolite increased from 2.1 wt% to 11.2 wt%. In addition,from the obtained data, an increase in uranium removal efficiency resulted as charge/ionic radius ratio of exchanged cation decreased. Also, the effect of contact time, solid–liquid ratio, initial concentration and temperature on the adsorption process was studied. It is worth mentioning that, in this study, the sorption of uranium was performed under natural conditions of pH and the presence of competing cations and anions which are available in drinking waters.展开更多

The randomly synthesized degenerated oligodeoxyribonucleotides (oligos ) were fused to the truncated g Ⅲ (p230-p403). Sequence analysis of 11 randomly chosen clones suggested that the degenerated inserts and its deduced amino acid (aa) sequences are randomly distributed. The library was used to select binding peptides to the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 9E10, which recognizes a continuous decapeptide epi- tope of denatured human c-myc protein. After four to five rounds of panning, most of the eluted clones could bind to 9E10. Sequence analysis of the selected positive clones indicated that the binding sequences could fall into two classes, one class (clone 1) shares a consensus motif, ISE x x L, with c-myc decapeptide; and the sequences of the other class are entirely different. The binding of both classes to 9E10 could be specifically inhibited by free c-myc decapeptide. The immunogenicity of the phage peptide was further investigated by construction of multivalent displayed phage peptides and immunization of animals with or without adjuvant. ELISA and competitive ELISA showed that anti-serum from both mice and rabbit immunized with either clone could bind to the original antigen, c-myc decapeptide. These results denote that in spite of the dissimilarity of the selected peptides with c-myc decapeptide, they are capable of inducing similar immune respones in vivo, thus actually mimicking the antigen epitope.展开更多

The objectives of this study were to investigate the desalination performance of monovalent and divalent cations in the MDC, and discuss the effect of ion characteristics, ion concentrations, and electrical characteristics. Mixed salt solutions of NaC1, MgC12, KC1, and CaC12 with the same concentration were used in the desalination chamber to study removal of cations. Results showed that in the mixed salt solutions, the electrodialysis desalination rates of cations were： Ca2＋ 〉 Mg2＋ 〉 Na＋ 〉 K＋. Higher ionic charges and smaller hydrated ionic radii resulted in higher desalination rates of the cations, in which the ionic charge was more important than the hydrated ionic radius. Mixed solutions of NaC1 and MgC12 with different concentrations were used in the desalination chamber to study the effect of ion concentra- tions. Results showed that when ion concentrations ofNa＋ were one-fifth to five times of Mg2~, ion concentration influenced the dialysis more profoundly than electrodia- lysis. With the current densities below a certain value, charge transfer efficiencies became very low and the dialysis was the main process responsible for the desalination. And the phosphate transfer from the anode chamber and potassium transfer from the cathode chamber could balance 1%-3% of the charge transfer in the MDC.展开更多

The body losses carbon dioxide (CO2) and bicarbonate (HCO3), resulting in respiratory alkalosis or acidosis. Under tropical conditions of high environmental temperatures, the balance of electrolytes in feeds must be set much higher as to maintain equal metabolic and digestive efficiency. However, information on the ideal dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) that could effectively correct acid-base imbalance in broiler chickens under severe heat stress condition is scanty. Therefore, the effects of varying electrolyte balance in diets on haematology, blood glucose and serum inorganic elements were assessed in broiler chickens at starter (0 - 21 d) and finisher (22 - 35 d) phases, under temperature-humidity index of 24.97 - 35.19. One day-old Arbor Acre chicks (n = 300) were procured and randomly allotted to diets supplemented with potassium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, to balance monovalent ions (sodium, potassium and chloride) at 210 (T1), 240 (T2), 270 (T3), 300 (T4), 330 (T5) and 360 (T6) mEq/kg DEB, in a completely randomised design. On days 21 and 35, blood (5 mL) samples were collected from birds in each replicate whose weights were closest to the mean class weight for haematology and serum biochemical indices using standard procedures. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at α = 0.05. Different levels of DEB did not significantly affect (P > 0.05) haematology and blood glucose at starter phase. However, at finisher phase, heterophil: lymphocyte of birds on 270 and 240 mEq/kg DEB were lower (P < 0.05) compared to other dietary treatments. Blood acid-base balance was relatively enhanced in birds on aggregate DEB level of 360 mEq/kg with reduced chloride ion and relatively lower incidence of hemodilution with respect to high haemoglobin levels as this level is advantageous in balancing blood acid to base ratio in broiler chickens reared under severe environmental temperatures higher than 43?C ± 5?C as against some previous opinions that did not take into consideration, the inherent dietary electrolyte balance in feedstuff, other functional mono or divalent ions, and the severity of environmental factors.展开更多

Rietveld refinements of the X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed that all samples were single phase and crystallized in the orthorhombic structure with Pnma space group. Magnetic measurements in a magnetic applied field of 0.01T revealed that the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition temperature T_C decreased from about 293 to 290 K with increasing silver content from x=0.05 to 0.1. The reported magnetocaloric entropy change and relative cooling power for both samples were considerably remarkable with a △S_（max） value of 1.9 J/（kg·K）and maximum RCP values of 100 J/kg, under a magnetic field change（？μ0H） equal to 1.8T. The analysis of the universal curves gave an evidence of a second order magnetic transition for the studied samples. The magnetic field influence on both the magnetic entropy change and the relative cooling power was also studied and discussed.展开更多

Accordingly, much interest has been generated to pursue a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental yet elusive double layer structure at file electrode^electrolyte interface. In this paper, we carried out comprehensive molecular dynamics simulations to obtain a com- prehensive picture of how ion type, solvent properties, and charging conditions affect the EDL structure at the graphene electrode surface, and thereby its contribution to capacitance. We show that different symmetrical monovalent aqueous electrolytes M^X- （M~ = Na~, K~, Rb＋, and Cs＋; X- = F-, CI-, and I ） indeed have distinctive EDL structures. Larger ions, such as, Rb＊, Cs＊, C1, and I, undergo partial dehydration and penetrate through the first water layer next to the graphene electrode surfaces under charging. As such, the electrical potential distribution through the EDL strongly depends on the ion type. Interestingly, we further reveal that the water can play a critical role in determining the capacitance value. The change of dielectric constant of water in different electrolytes largely cancels out the variance in electric potential drop across the EDL of different ion type. Our simulation sheds new lights on how the interplay between solvent molecules and EDL structure cooperatively contributes to capacitance, which agrees with our experimental results well.展开更多

文摘The industrial products or wastewater rich in the mixed salts(Cl-/SO4^2-) not only causes the environmental damage, but also induces waste of resource. In this study, an ED stack with monovalent selective AEMs and conventional CEMs was employed to separate the Cl-and SO42-from simulated wastewater. The effect of current density and mass fraction percentage was investigated in order to optimize the experimental conditions during ED process. It was found that at a concentration ratio between NaCl and Na2SO4 of 95/5(wt%/wt%) and a current density of40 m A·cm^-2, a current efficiency of 72%, an energy consumption of 1.6 k W·h·kg^-1 Na Cl and a Cl-/SO4^2-concentration(67.5/3.5 g·L^-1) were obtained. Hence, it is appropriate and effective to separate Cl-and SO42-by ED using the monovalent selective AEMs.

By 325 nm excitation, the phosphor had emission at 373 nm and with 363 nm excitation; the phosphor gave violet-blue emission at 418 nm. The UV emission of the phosphor originated due to Ce3＋ ions at the yttrium site and violet-blue emission owing to Ce3＋ ions at non-regular sites viz., A13＋ and interstitial sites. The emission intensity of the phosphor was enhanced when monovalent ions （K＋, Na＋, and F） were added as co-dopants. The crucial role of ionic radii of monovalent co-dopants on the emission enhancement of the YAB：Ce3＋ phosphor was reported. Thermogravimetric study showed that the YAB possessed high thermal stability at up to 900 ℃.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals the title complex represents a three-dimensional network structure featuring 2D [Cu N3]n plane units bridged by bridging dmpz ligands to form a 3D network. Research results reveal that 1 has lower impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity, which may be expected to become insensitive energetic material and have potential applications.

文摘The main purpose of this work was the modification of NaX nanozeolite using copper oxide nanoparticles and various monovalent cations such as K^+, Cs^+, and Ag^+in order to make the negatively charged zeolite surface accessible for anionic forms of uranium which are the most dominant species of uranium in the contaminated radioactive waters at natural p H. Various methods such as the X-ray fluorescence(XRF), X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), and atomic absorption spectroscopy(AAS) were used to characterize the final synthesized absorbents. Batch technique was used to study the adsorption behavior of uranium ions from polluted drinking water by Na X nanozeolite and its modified forms. In order to better understand the performance of them, the results were compared with those that were obtained for synthesizing bulk NaX zeolite and Na-form of clinoptilolite natural zeolite. Preliminary results indicated that uranium sorption increased as the loading level of CuO nanoparticles on NaX nanozeolite increased from 2.1 wt% to 11.2 wt%. In addition,from the obtained data, an increase in uranium removal efficiency resulted as charge/ionic radius ratio of exchanged cation decreased. Also, the effect of contact time, solid–liquid ratio, initial concentration and temperature on the adsorption process was studied. It is worth mentioning that, in this study, the sorption of uranium was performed under natural conditions of pH and the presence of competing cations and anions which are available in drinking waters.

文摘Monovalent cation perm-selective membrane(MCPMs)allow fast and selective transport of monovalent cations,and they are promisingly required for extraction of special ions,such as lithium extraction,acid recovery and sea salt production.Herein,we report a novel strategy to design the critical functional layers of MCPMs with both space charge repulsion and cross-linked dense screenability.The in-situ depo-sition polymerization of pyrrole was carried out on the surface of sulfonated polyphenyl sulfone(SPPSU)substrate membrane followed by cross-linking quaternization of the polypyrrole(PPy)layer with diiodi-nated functional molecules,thus,the membrane obtained more excellent selective permeability and sta-ble transport properties of monovalent cations.It confirms that the designed PPy layers with charged sur-face and cross-linking structure improved the hydrophilicity,facilitated cation transport and increased ion flux.Meanwhile,for the dense PPy layer,the charged cross-linked structure endowed the functional layer with the synergistic characteristics of Donnan exclusion and pore size sieving for positively charged ions,which improved the monovalent cation perm-selectivity of the membranes.At a constant current density of 5.1 mA/cm^(2),the optimal membrane exhibited superior perm-selectivity(P^(Na)_(Mg)=2.07)and monovalent cation flux(J_(Na+)=2.80×10^(−8)mol cm^(−2)s^(−1))during electrodialysis.
文摘A library of 2 ×107 random octapeptides was constructed by use of phagemid-based monovalent phage display system. The randomly synthesized degenerated oligodeoxyribonucleotides (oligos ) were fused to the truncated g Ⅲ (p230-p403). Sequence analysis of 11 randomly chosen clones suggested that the degenerated inserts and its deduced amino acid (aa) sequences are randomly distributed. The library was used to select binding peptides to the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 9E10, which recognizes a continuous decapeptide epi- tope of denatured human c-myc protein. After four to five rounds of panning, most of the eluted clones could bind to 9E10. Sequence analysis of the selected positive clones indicated that the binding sequences could fall into two classes, one class (clone 1) shares a consensus motif, ISE x x L, with c-myc decapeptide; and the sequences of the other class are entirely different. The binding of both classes to 9E10 could be specifically inhibited by free c-myc decapeptide. The immunogenicity of the phage peptide was further investigated by construction of multivalent displayed phage peptides and immunization of animals with or without adjuvant. ELISA and competitive ELISA showed that anti-serum from both mice and rabbit immunized with either clone could bind to the original antigen, c-myc decapeptide. These results denote that in spite of the dissimilarity of the selected peptides with c-myc decapeptide, they are capable of inducing similar immune respones in vivo, thus actually mimicking the antigen epitope.

文摘Aqueous batteries have engendered increasing attention as promising solutions for stationary energy storage due to their potentially low cost and innate safety.In various aqueous battery systems,Prussian blue analogues(PBAs)represent a class of promising electrode materials with fascinating electrochemical performance,owing to their large open frameworks,abundant ion insertion sites,and facile preparation.To date,PBAs have shown substantial progress towards storage of alkali metal ions(Li^(+),Na^(+),and K^(+)),H^(+),and NH4^(+) in aqueous electrolytes,which,however,has yet not been specifically summarized.This review selects some representative research to introduce the progress of PBAs in these battery systems and aims to discuss the crucial role of ionic charge carrier in affecting the overall electrode performance.Besides,some critical knowledge gaps and challenges of PBA materials have been pointed out for future development.

文摘Microbial desalination cell （MDC） is a promis- ing technology to desalinate water and generate electrical power simultaneously. The objectives of this study were to investigate the desalination performance of monovalent and divalent cations in the MDC, and discuss the effect of ion characteristics, ion concentrations, and electrical characteristics. Mixed salt solutions of NaC1, MgC12, KC1, and CaC12 with the same concentration were used in the desalination chamber to study removal of cations. Results showed that in the mixed salt solutions, the electrodialysis desalination rates of cations were： Ca2＋ 〉 Mg2＋ 〉 Na＋ 〉 K＋. Higher ionic charges and smaller hydrated ionic radii resulted in higher desalination rates of the cations, in which the ionic charge was more important than the hydrated ionic radius. Mixed solutions of NaC1 and MgC12 with different concentrations were used in the desalination chamber to study the effect of ion concentra- tions. Results showed that when ion concentrations ofNa＋ were one-fifth to five times of Mg2~, ion concentration influenced the dialysis more profoundly than electrodia- lysis. With the current densities below a certain value, charge transfer efficiencies became very low and the dialysis was the main process responsible for the desalination. And the phosphate transfer from the anode chamber and potassium transfer from the cathode chamber could balance 1%-3% of the charge transfer in the MDC.

文摘Monovalent anions,with relatively low charge density,exhibit weak bond energy with Zn^(2+)ions,which facilitates the solubility of Zn salts and the regulation of solvation structures.In this study,zinc bis(aminosulfate)(Zn(NH_(2)SO_(3))_(2))with a monovalent anion,NH_(2)SO_(3)^(-),was synthesized and dissolved in different ratios of dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)and H_(2)O as electrolytes for Zn-ion batteries(ZIBs).From the perspective of game theory,the influences of DMSO and H_(2)O on the solvation structure and electrochemical performance of the Zn(NH_(2)SO_(3))_(2)based electrolytes has been meticulously discussed.Computations and spectra analysis indicate that DMSO molecules are reluctant to penetrate the primary solvation structure of Zn^(2+)ions.Indeed,increasing DMSO in electrolytes can induce a transition from solvent-separated ion pairs(SSIP)to contact ion pairs(CIP),resulting in an enrichment of anions in the primary solvation structure.This alteration can significantly suppress parasitic reactions,enhance nucleation density,and refine the deposition morphology during the Zn plating process,leading to superior cyclic stability and high coulombic efficiency(CE)of Zn//Cu and Zn//Zn cells.However,the enrichment of anions in the primary solvation structure also inhibits the activity of Zn^(2+)ions,amplifies the polarization effect,and engenders a sluggish ionization dynamics,resulting in the low energy conversion efficiency of the battery.These findings underscore the influence of the anion ratio within the primary solvation structure on electrochemical properties of electrolytes for ZIBs,which may be a pivotal determinant in the Zn deposition process.
文摘This paper reports the efficiency of the solvent-driven fractional crystallization(SDFC)process using ethanol,also known as antisolvent crystallization,in the treatment of a concentrated wastewater by reverse osmosis(RO).This experiment evaluated the effects of varying the volumetric mixing ratio of ethanol-to-RO concentrate,in conjunction with the incorporation of Ca(OH)_(2),on the efficiency of magnesium and boron removal.The incorporation of Ca(OH)_(2)resulted in an enhancement of the reduction of magnesium and boron concentrations at a mixing ratio of 85:15(v/v)and a pH of 12.In these conditions,the removal efficiencies achieved for magnesium and boron were 98.64%and 90.82%,respectively.The findings indicate that Ca(OH)_(2)has a significant impact on enhancing the removal efficiencies of these elements.The RO concentrated wastewater used in this experiment exhibited a salinity of 50,497.200 ppm prior to the SDFC test.The experimental results also showed a 48.10%reduction in salinity and 28.10%salt precipitation at the maximum mixing ratio and pH level examined.The tested process demonstrated significant reduction of scaling ions including calcium,magnesium,and sulfate.Similar behavior was observed for arsenic and manganese.Moderate removal efficiencies were observed for monovalent ions such as chloride,sodium,and potassium.However,the process was no effective for iron and lithium,which showed low removal efficiencies.Based on the results obtained,SDFC technology is seen as a promising technological option for application in the treatment of complex mining wastewaters.
文摘The loss of electrolyte balance in diets of broiler chickens has resulted in a serious distur-bance of blood acid-base balance, coupled with elevated body temperature. The body losses carbon dioxide (CO2) and bicarbonate (HCO3), resulting in respiratory alkalosis or acidosis. Under tropical conditions of high environmental temperatures, the balance of electrolytes in feeds must be set much higher as to maintain equal metabolic and digestive efficiency. However, information on the ideal dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) that could effectively correct acid-base imbalance in broiler chickens under severe heat stress condition is scanty. Therefore, the effects of varying electrolyte balance in diets on haematology, blood glucose and serum inorganic elements were assessed in broiler chickens at starter (0 - 21 d) and finisher (22 - 35 d) phases, under temperature-humidity index of 24.97 - 35.19. One day-old Arbor Acre chicks (n = 300) were procured and randomly allotted to diets supplemented with potassium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, to balance monovalent ions (sodium, potassium and chloride) at 210 (T1), 240 (T2), 270 (T3), 300 (T4), 330 (T5) and 360 (T6) mEq/kg DEB, in a completely randomised design. On days 21 and 35, blood (5 mL) samples were collected from birds in each replicate whose weights were closest to the mean class weight for haematology and serum biochemical indices using standard procedures. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at α = 0.05. Different levels of DEB did not significantly affect (P > 0.05) haematology and blood glucose at starter phase. However, at finisher phase, heterophil: lymphocyte of birds on 270 and 240 mEq/kg DEB were lower (P < 0.05) compared to other dietary treatments. Blood acid-base balance was relatively enhanced in birds on aggregate DEB level of 360 mEq/kg with reduced chloride ion and relatively lower incidence of hemodilution with respect to high haemoglobin levels as this level is advantageous in balancing blood acid to base ratio in broiler chickens reared under severe environmental temperatures higher than 43?C ± 5?C as against some previous opinions that did not take into consideration, the inherent dietary electrolyte balance in feedstuff, other functional mono or divalent ions, and the severity of environmental factors.

文摘A systematic investigation on the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Pr_（0.6）Sr_（0.4-x）Ag_xMnO_3（x=0.05 and 0.1） manganites was reported. Rietveld refinements of the X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed that all samples were single phase and crystallized in the orthorhombic structure with Pnma space group. Magnetic measurements in a magnetic applied field of 0.01T revealed that the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition temperature T_C decreased from about 293 to 290 K with increasing silver content from x=0.05 to 0.1. The reported magnetocaloric entropy change and relative cooling power for both samples were considerably remarkable with a △S_（max） value of 1.9 J/（kg·K）and maximum RCP values of 100 J/kg, under a magnetic field change（？μ0H） equal to 1.8T. The analysis of the universal curves gave an evidence of a second order magnetic transition for the studied samples. The magnetic field influence on both the magnetic entropy change and the relative cooling power was also studied and discussed.

文摘Clidinium is a synthetic anticholinergic agent which has been shown in experimental and clinical studies to have an antispasmodic and antisecretory effect on the gastrointestinal tract.Inhibits the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine at neurotransmitter sites after parasympathetic ganglia.It is used to treat peptic ulcer disease and to help relieve stomach or stomach cramps or cramps due to abdominal cramps,diverticulitis,and irritable bowel syndrome.Mononuclear complexes of the manganese(Ⅱ),nickel(Ⅱ)and mercury(Ⅱ)with clidinium bromide drug(C_(22)H_(26)NO_(3))types[M(C_(22)H_(25)NO 3)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(4)]and[Hg(C_(22)H_(25)NO_(3))_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]where M=Mn(Ⅱ)and Ni(Ⅱ),have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis,conductivity measurements,magnetic,electronic,1H-NMR and infrared spectral studies.The complexes confirm to 1∶2 stoichiometry and are non-electrolytes.The clidinium drug ligand(C_(22)H_(26)NO_(3))act as a deprotonated monovalent monodentate chelate coordinating through hydroxyl oxygen where IR spectral bands of clidinium bromide shows a band at 3226 cm^(-1)assigned to the OH group stretching frequency,this bandν(O—H)stretching vibration motion is disappeared in case of the infrared spectra of the Mn(Ⅱ),Ni(Ⅱ),and Hg(Ⅱ)complexes suggesting the involvement of the oxygen atom of the deprotonated OH group of clidinium ligand in complexation.The band for theν(C—O)of alcoholic group of clidinium that appears at 1240 cm^(-1)has blue shifted after complexity,indicating the participation of the alcoholic group in the coordination.1H NMR spectrum for clidinium bromide show a singlet peak at 3.65 ppm due to proton of OH group which isn’t observed in the spectrum of mercury(Ⅱ)complex referring to the deprotonation of OH group and participated in the complexation.Based on electronic spectra,IR spectra and magnetic moment measurements;six coordinated octahedral structures have been proposed for the manganese and nickel(Ⅱ)complexes,while mercury(Ⅱ)complex has a four coordinated geometry.Thermogravimetric analyses studies revealed the presence of coordinated water molecules.For instance the X-ray powder diffraction pattern and scanning electronic microscopy for the Hg(Ⅱ)complex deduced that it was isolated in nanostructured with crystallinity form.
文摘Electrical double layer （EDL） capacitors based on recently emergent graphene materials have shown several folds performance improvement compared to conventional porous carbon materials, driving a wave of technology breakthrough in portable and renewable energy storage. Accordingly, much interest has been generated to pursue a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental yet elusive double layer structure at file electrode^electrolyte interface. In this paper, we carried out comprehensive molecular dynamics simulations to obtain a com- prehensive picture of how ion type, solvent properties, and charging conditions affect the EDL structure at the graphene electrode surface, and thereby its contribution to capacitance. We show that different symmetrical monovalent aqueous electrolytes M^X- （M~ = Na~, K~, Rb＋, and Cs＋; X- = F-, CI-, and I ） indeed have distinctive EDL structures. Larger ions, such as, Rb＊, Cs＊, C1, and I, undergo partial dehydration and penetrate through the first water layer next to the graphene electrode surfaces under charging. As such, the electrical potential distribution through the EDL strongly depends on the ion type. Interestingly, we further reveal that the water can play a critical role in determining the capacitance value. The change of dielectric constant of water in different electrolytes largely cancels out the variance in electric potential drop across the EDL of different ion type. Our simulation sheds new lights on how the interplay between solvent molecules and EDL structure cooperatively contributes to capacitance, which agrees with our experimental results well.
