The Electrochemical Performance Of Ncf-Sulfur Cathode, Chun-Rong Zhao, Zhong-Bao Yu, Wei-Kun Wang, Yu-Sheng Yang
The Electrochemical Performance Of Ncf-Sulfur Cathode, Chun-Rong Zhao, Zhong-Bao Yu, Wei-Kun Wang, Yu-Sheng Yang
Journal of Electrochemistry
The electrochemical performance of NCF-sulfur cathode, with different NCF contents, was investigated by constant current discharge, cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance methods. The morphologies of the cathodes were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the cycle life and rate capability of NCF-sulfur cathode increased. Better performance of sulfur cathode was obtained by 3% and 5% NCF conductive addition. When the current density was 0.4 mA/cm2, the 3% NCF-sulfur cathode had an initial capacity of 880 mAh/g and a reversible capacity of 630 mAh/g after 20 cycles.
Preparation And Characterization Of Tin-Nickel Alloy Electromagnetic Shielding Fabric, Ke-Jing Chu, Wei Wang, Bin Sun, Mei-Fang Zhu
Preparation And Characterization Of Tin-Nickel Alloy Electromagnetic Shielding Fabric, Ke-Jing Chu, Wei Wang, Bin Sun, Mei-Fang Zhu
Journal of Electrochemistry
A soft electromagnetic shielding fabric was successfully prepared by electroplating tin-nickel alloy on the Cu-plated PET fabric in potassium pyrophosphate system. Results show that the different tin content and different colour can be obtained by changing the ratio of metals in bath. Better corrosion resistance and anti-tarnishing were achieved with the fabric consisting of 68.96% Sn. The tin-nickel alloy surface for the electromagnetic shielding fabric had excellent conductivity, softness, permeability and soft luster, non-sensitized to the human body. Thereby it has broad prospect in EMI field and shielding clothing.

Effect Of Irco Intermediate Layer On Electrochemical Property Of Rutisn Anode, Yan Zhao, Gui-Chang Liu, Yong-Lan Liao, Wei-Guang Ji, Shu-Jun Song
Journal of Electrochemistry
The Ti based-RuTiSn anodes with IrCo intermediate layer were prepared by thermal decomposition method. The electrochemical properties of Ti/RuTiSn anodes with different Ir-Co intermediate layers were studied. The surface and elements compositions of the anodes were charactered by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and electronic probe microanalysis (EPMA). The effects of intermediate layer on the electro-catalytic activity and stability were assessed by chlorine evolution potentials, accelerated lifetime test and cyclic voltammetric curves(CV). It was concluded that the anode, which contained several Ir-Co intermediate layers, could hold not only high electro-catalytic activity but also the increased stability. The enhanced life was up to …

Journal of Electrochemistry
The nano-structural Sn-Co/graphite composites were prepared by chemical reduction of the alloy electroless deposition solution in graphite suspensions, and the composites were annealed at 500 ℃. The phase structure and surface morphology of the composites were measured by XRD, SEM and Raman. The results indicate that there were high dispersions and high loadings of Sn-Co nanoparticles on graphite by thermal treatment. Electrochemical lithium storage performance was studied preliminarily on the obtained samples. The graphite modified with the Sn-Co nanoparticles possessed a higher electrochemical reversible capacity than that of graphite during the charge and discharge process. The appetency between the Sn-Co …

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
In order to generate a chiral metallocene ligand similar to Kaminsky-Sinn catalysts, a multistep synthesis for the production of 6,7-dimethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-1,3-dienyl anion was proposed. Experiments directed at the initial phase of the proposal are included, ending with the characterization of new alcohols in compounds 9 through 12. Two steps from the synthesis were successfully combined, leading to improved recovery of the alcohols.

Influence Of Magnesium Nitrate On The Corrosion Performance Of Sol-Gel Coated Aa2024-T3 Aluminium Alloy, Rajath Varma, Brendan Duffy, John Cassidy

Traditional anti-corrosion technology has relied heavily on using reducible metal species, predominantly hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), for protecting reactive metal alloys such as aluminium which is extensively used in the aerospace sector. However, the impending changes in the use of Cr(VI) in Europe and the United States have forced aerospace manufacturers to examine alternative materials for protecting aluminium. One of the most promising alternatives being investigated are organosilane based sol-gels containing anticorrosion additives. In this work the anti-corrosion properties of magnesium (II) nitrate (Mg(NO3)2) as a inhibitor was investigated at different concentrations (0.1% - 1.0 wt %) in a methyltriethoxysilane (MTEOS) …

Sol–gels are organic–inorganic polymers formed by hydrolysis/condensation reactions of alkoxide precursors, primarily silanes, which have found applications as electronic, optical and protective coatings. These coatings possess important characteristics such as chemical stability, physical strength and scratch resistance. Further performance improvement is achieved through the incorporation of zirconium and titanium based nanoparticles, also formed through the sol–gel process. However due to the inherent difference in the reactivity of the precursors, the hydrolysis of each precursor must be carried out separately before being combined for final condensation. Zirconium precursors are commonly chelated using acetic acids, prior to hydrolysis, to lower the hydrolysis …

Preparation And Characterization Of Some Substituted Benzyl N-Nitrosocarbamates Containing An N-2-(Methylthio)Ethyl Or A Bis(2-Aminoethyl)Sulfide Functionality, Satya Venkata, Eric Shamo, Vladimir Benin
Chemistry Faculty Publications
The synthesis and characterization of some substituted benzyl N-nitrosocarbamates with an N-2-(methylthio)ethyl or a bis(2-aminoethyl)sulfide functionality is reported, as a part of a long-term goal to design and prepare novel photolabile structures that could be used as substances for controlled release of alkylating and/or crosslinking agents. The synthesis was accomplished by reaction of benzyl chloroformates with the corresponding amines, resulting in the preparation of carbamates. The latter were subsequently nitrosated, utilizing two different N-nitrosation methods, to yield the target structures.

The analytic energy gradients for the combined fragment molecular orbital and polarizable continuum model (FMO/PCM) method are derived and implemented. Applications of FMO/PCM geometry optimization to polyalanine show that the structures obtained with the FMO/PCM method are very close to those obtained with the corresponding full ab initio PCM methods. FMO/PCM (RHF/6-31G* level) is used to optimize the solution structure of the 304-atom Trp-cage miniprotein and the result is in agreement with NMR experiments. The key factors determining the relative stability of the a-helix, b-turn and the extended form in solution are elucidated for polyalanine.

A Photochemically Initiated Chemistry For Coupling Underivatized Carbohydrates To Gold Nanoparticles, Xin Wang, Olof Ramström, Mingdi Yan
Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations
The sensitive optoelectronic properties of metal nanoparticles make nanoparticle-based materials a powerful tool to study fundamental biorecognition processes. Here we present a new and versatile method for coupling underivatized carbohydrates to gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) via the photochemically induced reaction of perfluorophenylazide (PFPA). A one-pot procedure was developed where Au NPs were synthesized and functionalized with PFPA by a ligand-exchange reaction. Carbohydrates were subsequently immobilized on the NPs by a fast light activation. The coupling reaction was efficient, resulting in high coupling yield as well as high ligand surface coverage. A colorimetric system based on the carbohydrate-modified Au NPs was …
