Palladium doped silica membranes were synthesized by the sol-gel method using two different procedures. The first palladium-doped silica membrane (M1) was synthesized with a coating of four layers of silica-palladium sol. The second membrane (M2) was synthesized with a coating of two silica layers followed by a coating of two silica-palladium layers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) proved th...

A multilayer composite ceramic membrane was prepared by depositing a nano-scale layer of SiO2 on top of a modified porous alumina support by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The modification of the support was carried out by adding a graded layer of Al2O3 (γ-alumina phase), using sol-gel method. An optimized temperature of 700 K for intermediate layer calcination was gained by XRD analys...

An asymmetric cell based on a proton conductor, BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.1Yb0.1O3 d (BZCYYb), with a welldefined patterned Pt electrode was prepared to study the kinetics and mechanism of the hydrogen oxidation reaction under typical conditions for fuel cell operation and hydrogen separation, including operating temperature and hydrogen partial pressure. Steady-state polarization curves were carefully an...

The gas permeability of α-alumina, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), and silicon carbide porous ceramics toward H₂, CO₂, and H₂-CO₂ mixtures were investigated at room temperature. The permeation of H₂ and CO₂ single gases occurred above a critical pressure gradient, which was smaller for H₂ gas than for CO₂ gas. When the Knudsen number (λ/r ratio, λ: molecular mean free path, r: pore radius) of...

In the title compound, C18H18N2O4S, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 33.71 (9)° and an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds to generate a three-dimensional network. A very weak aromatic π-π stacking inter-ction is also observed [centroid-centroid separation = 3.9524 (10) Å].

In the title compound, C(10)H(11)N(3)O(2), the nitro group is essentially coplanar with the aromatic ring [dihedral angle = 1.3 (3)°] and forms an intra-molecular amine-nitro N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular aromatic C-H⋯O(nitro) hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules. Weak aromatic ring π-π inter-actions [minimum ring centroid separation = 3.7744 (13) Å] are also present.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C5H6ClN3, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network lying parallel to (100). Inversion-related mol-ecules are also linked via a slipped π-π inter-action, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.5259 (11) Å, a normal separation...

A unique six-fold interpenetrated hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) has been developed, for the first time, for highly selective separation of C2H4/C2H6 at room temperature and normal pressure.

In the title compound, C(10)H(11)N(3)O(2), the nitro group is essentially coplanar with the aromatic ring [dihedral angle = 3.4 (3)°] and forms an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the amine group. In the crystal, weak aromatic C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules. Weak aromatic ring π-π inter-actions [minimum ring centroid-centroid separation = 3.9841 (16) Å] are also pres...

In the title mol-ecule, C11H12N4S2, the dihedral angle between the triazole and benzene rings is 21.31 (5)°. A weak intra-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers. In addition, π-π inter-actions are observed between the benzene rings, with a centroid-centroid separation of 3.7599 (11) Å.
