The mixed glass former effect (MGFE) is defined as a nonlinear and nonadditive change in the ionic conductivity with changing glass former fraction at constant modifier composition between two binary glass forming compositions. In this study, mixed glass former (MGF) sodium borophosphate glasses, 0.35Na2O + 0.65[xB2O3 + (1 – x)P2O5], 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, have been prepared, and their sodium ionic conduct...

Energy storage is a vital aspect for the successful implementation of renewable energy resources on global scale. Herein, we investigated redox cycle nickel dithiocarbamates potential use as catholytes in non-aqueous flow batteries. The unique (Ni(dtc)2) offers ability to better understand these reactions by displaying 2e- chemistry upon oxidation from Ni(II) → Ni(IV) but 1e- reduction Ni(III) ...

In this work, we report the development of separators coated with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to improve thermal stability Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Aiming achieve a synergistic effect and anodes on electrochemical performance, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method used as potential anode materials for LIBs. The grown M...

In the present work, the interaction of three water soluble porphyrins, tetra (p-trimethyle) ammoniumphenyl porphyrin iodide (TAPP) as a cationic porphyrin, tetra sodium meso-tetrakis (p-sulphonatophenyle) porphyrin (TSPP) as an anionic porphyrin and manganese tetrakis (p-sulphonato phenyl)porphinato acetate (MnTSPP) as a metal porphyrin, with DNA have been studied by isothermaltitration microc...

In this work we report on the evolution of the structure of two model ionic liquid families, N-alkyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium (Pyr1n-TFSI) and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium (CnMIm-TFSI) (n = 3, 4, 6 and 8) both containing the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) anion, upon the addition of LiTFSI using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The introduction of a lithium salt (Li-salt) tunes the i...

in the present study an attempt has been made to use a non-parametric method data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing source-wise and operation-wise the technical efficiency (te) and return-to-scale (rts) for paddy production in four zones of the state of punjab, india. the results were then compared to corresponding ones already obtained from a parametric method (cobb-douglas production f...

universities of medical science and health services (umshss) are among the main organizations in iran's health-care section. improving their efficiency in financial resource management through creating an appropri-ate coordination between consumption and resources is strategically vital. investigating the financial performance as well as ranking the iranian umshss is the research objective.the ...

Effective utilization of Li-metal electrodes is vital for maximizing the specific energy lithium–oxygen (Li–O2) batteries. Many conventional electrolytes that support Li–O2 cathode processes (e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) are incompatible with Li-metal. Here, a wide range ternary solutions based on solvent, salt, and ionic liquid (IL) explored to understand how formulations may be tailored en...
