The dynamic motion of ions in electrolyte solutions and its effect on recombination was investigated by the heterodyne transient grating method in addition to transient absorption and transient photocurrent methods in dye sensitized solar cells. Realignment of ionic species at the electrode/electrolyte interface was observed after the electron injection in TiO2 on the order of μs. The process w...

In this work we fabricate and characterize field-effect transistors based on the solution-processable semiconducting polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Applying two independent gate potentials to the electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistor (EGOFET), by using a conventional SiO(2) layer as the back-gate dielectric and the electrolyte-gate as the top-gate, allows the measurement of ...

Hot potassium carbonate (PC) solution in comparison with amine solution had a decreased energy of regeneration and a high chemical solubility of . To present vapor and liquid equation (VLE) of this system and predict  solubility, the ion specific non-electrolyte Wilson-NRF local composition model (isNWN) was used in this study; the framework of this model was molecular. Therefore, it was suitab...

In this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. To do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. The new model is based on the van der Waals - Platteeuw hydrate equation of state. In order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions t...

freezing injury is an important limiting factor in the production of pomegranate in iran.the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol (pbz) on cold hardiness of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) cv. ‘malas saveh’. different concentrations of pbz including 0 (control), 31, 62, 125 or 250 mg l–1 were sprayed on one-year-old plants in august and the electrolyte leakage o...

results two weeks after transplantation, the mean tpe decreased to 0.052 ± 0.002, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p < 0.001) and post-hd (p = 0.019). the mean tpec was 0.059 ± 0.002, which, just in comparison to pre-hd, was significant (p = 0.005). in addition, the mean tpe/qt decreased to 0.143 ± 0.005, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p = 0.018). the mean qtd was 0.066 ± 0....

Adaptation of the brown trout to fresh water containing increasing concentrations of calcium resulted in a decrease in plasma electrolyte level and total electrolyte excretion. The electrolyte excretion rate was higher at the beginning than at the end of the urine collection periods. Hypophysectomized fish had a lower plasma electrolyte concentration than the controls. This deficiency was parti...

Solid polymer electrolyte system, polyethylene oxide (PEO) complexed with potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) salt was prepared by solution-cast technique. Several experimental techniques such as infrared radiation (IR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and composition dependence conductivity, temperature dependence conductivity in the temperature range of 308–368 K and transport number measu...

This experiment was carried out for a period of 4 weeks with 240 day old straight- run broiler (Cobb-500) chicks to investigate the effects of administering electrolytes in drinking water on the productive performance (live weight, body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion and water consumption) and to determine the economic impact of using electrolytes. The chicks were randomly distr...

Recent advances in modeling thermodynamic and transport properties of electrolyte solutions are reviewed. In particular, attention is focused on mixed-solvent electrolyte models, equations of state for high-temperature and supercritical electrolyte systems and transport property models for multicomponent, concentrated solutions. The models are analyzed with respect to their capability of comput...
