The value of the limiting current for reduction of a strong acid, HA, without supporting electrolyte is known to be twice the current value in a solution containing a supporting electrolyte. This enhancement is ascribed to acceleration of the flux of H toward the electrode by the electric field. Since the electrical neutrality equates [A] with [H], the depletion of H by the electrode reduction ...

The physical properties of organic nanotubes attract increasing attention due to their potential benefit in technology, biology and medicine. We study the effect of ion size on the electrical properties of cylindrical nanotubes filled with electrolyte solution within a modified Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) approach. For comparison purposes, small hollow nanospheres filled with electrolyte solution ar...

Brighter SERRS nanotags ideal for improved SERRS imaging were prepared by the controlled addition of electrolyte producing a dimer enriched solution, which was incubated with a Raman reporter before being stabilised by a polyethylene glycol (PEG) shell.

In this research, new thin film of a free standing electrolyte film containing poly(vinyl) chloride (PVC), 50% liquid epoxidized natural rubber (LENR50), Ethylene carbonate (EC) blends as a host for the electrolyte which was doped with lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) as the dopant salt was successfully prepared with solution casting technique. The polymer electrolyte of PVC-LENR50-EC-LiClO4 was ch...
