New cathode materials will lead to technological advances for implantable cardioverter defibrillators, ICDs, such as reduced size and increased performance of the device. While the industry standard silver vanadium oxide Ag2V4O11 exhibits great chemical/electrochemical stability, dense silver oxide fluoride materials are advantageous because of high crystal density that can result in an increas...

It is widely accepted that the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 can be enhanced by modifying its surface with noble metal nanoparticles, such as Ag. On TiO2, Ag nanoparticles are exposed to rapid oxidation, resulting AgxO. Therefore, in present work, activities composites were investigated. They consisted commercial titanium dioxide mixtures (Aldrich anatase and rutile) well-defined ratios whi...

Self-assembly of Ag2O, 1,4-bis(pyrid-4-yl)benzene (dpb) and 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2bdc) resulted in a one-dimensional mixed-ligand Ag(I) coordination polymer [Ag2(dpb)2(bdc)·9H2O]n (1), in which infinite 1D T4(0)A(0)6(0) water tapes and discrete water hexamers were simultaneously encapsulated. Chair-like water hexamers and D2h water tetramers with two dangling water molecules were alte...

A small series of norbornane bisether diguanidines have been synthesized and evaluated as antibacterial agents. The key transformation-bisalkylation of norbornane diol 6-was not successful using Williamson methodology but has been accomplished using Ag2O mediated alkylation. Further functionalization to incorporate two guanidinium groups gave rise to a series of structurally rigid cationic amph...

Interpretation of XANES spectra suffers from a poor intuitive understanding of the relation between spectral features and structural elements of a material. An attempt to alleviate this shortcoming is made by exploring a spatial distribution of probability density of wave functions of photoelectrons excited during the photoabsorption process. One has to add incoherently squares of wave function...

A series of imidazolidinium ligand precursors are metallated with Ag2O to give silver(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes. All compounds were fully characterized by elemental analyses, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and IR spectroscopy techniques. All compounds studied in this work were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against the standard strains: Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Staph...

In this work, Ag2O and ZnO modified g-C3N4 (Ag2[email protected]x) catalysts were fabricated by a simple precipitation-reflux method employed for visible-light-driven photocatalytic ozonation process towards oxalic acid (OA) degradation. A series of characterizations such as XRD, TEM, XPS, UV–vis DRS, PL, Mott-Schottky conducted to investigate the impact loading Ag2O-ZnO on microstructure catal...
