1. Introduction LiBaF 3 single crystals are considered to act as promising window material in the vacuum-ultraviolet wavelength region [1]. LiBaF 3 is the only known ternary fluoride which crystallizes in the cubic inverse perovskite-type structure with the space group 3 Pm m (a = 0.3996 nm) [2, 3]. In this paper we report on a very simple and efficient method to synthesize nanocrystalline LiBa...

A numerical model that includes the effects of mass transfer between mobile and immobile liquid phases, advection, hydrodynamic dispersion, and melt-freeze episodes was developed to simulate ionic solute transport in melting snow. Model calibration using a tracer-infused laboratory snowpack experiment yielded a dispersivity of 0.05 cm and a mobile-immobile phase mass-transfer coefficient of 4 3...

High ionic conductivity, low grain boundary impedance, and stable electrochemical property have become the focus for all-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSB). One of approaches is to promote rapid diffusion lithium ions by regulating chemical bond interactions within framework. The structure control P5+ substitution Sn4+ on lithium-ion transport was explored a series Li3PS4–Li4SnS4 gla...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are expected to have specific properties as solvents for chemical reactions in view of solution chemistry. Among physicochemical properties, liquid structure, acid–base, and electron-pair donating and accepting abilities of solvent play a crucial role in ion-solvation and acid–base, metal-ion complexation, and electrochemical reactions. Various types of ILs have been develop...

Advances in the field of ionic liquids have opened new applications beyond their traditional use as solvents into other fields especially healthcare. The broad chemical space, rich with structurally diverse ions, and coupled with the flexibility to form complementary ion pairs enables task-specific optimization at the molecular level to design ionic liquids for envisioned functions. Consequentl...

Supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) has the potential to be a new technological platform for gas/organic vapour separation because of the unique non-volatile nature and discriminating gas dissolution properties of room temperature ionic liquids (ILs). This work starts with an examination of gas dissolution and transport properties in bulk imidazulium cation based ionic liquids [C(n)mim][NT...
