Lithium ion transport in a poly-(ethylene oxide) (PEO) branched nanopore filled with solution of [lithium][bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide]/[1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium][bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide] (LiTFSI/PYR14TFSI) was investigated by molecular dynamics using many-body polarizable force field. The structural and dynamic properties lithium ions the nanopores different sizes ratios...

Stretchable organic solar cells (OSCs) have great potential as power sources for the next-generation wearable electronics. Although blending rigid photovoltaic components with soft insulating materials can easily endow mechanical ductility of active layers, efficiencies usually drops in resulting OSCs. Herein, a high efficiency 15.03% and large crack-onset strain 15.70% is simultaneously achiev...

AbstractInteraction of Ni complex(Salen= N, N´-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine)) with hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was studied by absorption spectroscopy, competitive binding study and thermal denaturation study. The protein binding affinity of Ni complex was found to be (3.0×103M−1). The binding plot obtained from the absorption titration data gives a binding constant of 2.4 (± 0.3)×103 M...

A novel complex of cadmium (II) [CdL0.5(NO3)(H2O)](1), L= N,N-bis (O-hydroxyacetophenone) ethylene diamine, have been synthesized as single crystal and nano size. Compound 1 in nano size was obtained under sonochemical irradiation and has been characterized by IR, 1HNMR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanni...

Crosslinkers are indispensable constituents for the preparation of SPE materials with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and divinylbenzene (DVB) among most prominent representatives. A crosslinker that has not yet been used sorbents is 3,3’-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(1-vinylimidazolium) bromide [C6-bis-VIM] [Br]. In this study, we synthesized differently crosslinked vinylimidazole polymers EGDMA...

Terbium-sensitized luminescence and its applicability towards the detection of Bacillus spores such as anthrax are of significant interest to research in biodefense and medical diagnostics. Accordingly, we have measured the effects of terbium chelation upon the parameters associated with dipicolinate ligation and spore detection. Namely, the dissociation constants, intrinsic brightness, lumines...

These CO2-philic open-chain organophosphorous chelating ligands, i.e. diethylene glycol bis (2, 4, 4-trimethyl-1-pentyl) dimethyl diphosphate (EG2TP), diethylene glycol bis (3, 5, 5-trimethyl-1-hexyl) dimethyl diphosphate (EG2TH), and diethylene glycol dioctyl dimethyl diphosphate (EG2Oct), ethylene glycol bis(2-isopropoxyethyl) dimethyl diphosphate (EG2IPE), triethylene glycol bis(2-isopropoxy...
