Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the preferred energy storage devices for portable electronics and electric vehicles due to the long cycle life and high energy density [1]. The development of new electrodes for next-generation batteries requires better understanding how electrodes function by realtime tracking the electrochemical reactions in individual particles and the collective behavior of ...

in this research, process asymmetric polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes using ethanol (0, 2 and 4 wt%) as non-solvent additive in the polymer dope via phase inversion method were fabricated. aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (nmp) (90%) was applied as a bore fluid to avoid inner skin layer formation and water was used as the external coagulant. the morphology of fabricated membranes...

Sol-gel and polymeric membrane electrodes, based on thiacalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier, weresuccessfully developed for the detection of VO2+ in aqueous solutions. The sol-gel and PVCmembrane electrodes exhibited linear response with Nernstian slopes of 29.3 and 28.4 mV perdecade, respectively, within the vanadyl ion concentration ranges from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1mol dm-3 and from 1.0 × 1...

Liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM) is an essential tool for studying the dynamics of materials interactions at nanoscale, in and/or with their operational environment. Microfabricated SiN x membrane cells further allow integration thin-film electrodes that opens technique to studies heterogeneous electrocatalysts under relevant electrochemical conditions. However, experiments...

In this paper, we introduce a modified interpretation of the water activity presented in Springer et al. [T.E. Springer, T.A. Zawodzinski, S. ottesfeld, Polymer electrolyte fuel cell model, J. Electrochem. Soc. 138 (8) (1991) 2334–2342]. The modification directly affects the membrane ater transport between the anode and the cathode (two electrodes) of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel...

The synthesis and characterization of four p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-hydroxamic acids are reported. The dependence of the metal ion binding, assessed by liquid–liquid extraction of the metal nitrates from water into dichloromethane in individual and competitive experiments, on the ligand structure, is presented. The results showed that those ligands could be successfully used in separation proc...

Oligocarbazoles have been applied as new ionophores in liquid membrane electrodes (ISEs) destined for lead(II) determination in water samples. The oligocarbazole-containing ISEs demonstrated a close-to-Nernstian potentiometric response towards Pb2+ in the activity range 10(-7)-10(-2) M. The selectivity coefficients measured by the matched potential method (MPM) confirmed their good selectivity ...

the carrier facilitated transport of lithium picrate was studied using a series of non-cyclic polyethers containing different end groups and chain lengths through bulk liquid membrane (blm) and supported liquid membrane (slm) systems. the various membrane supports used are viz. ptfe, cellulose nitrate, and dialysis membrane and onion membrane. the amount of li+ transported depends upon the stru...
