Inorganic capillary electrophoresis (ICE) is a new separations technology which melds the technique of classical electrophoresis with the separations approach of ion chromatography. Matrices which have been difficult to deal with using ion chromatography have proven amenable to analysis by ICE. The simultaneous analysis of weak acid anions, oxalate and citrate and inorganic anions, chloride, su...

The properties of dry collodion membranes previously described allow the prediction that cells of these membranes will concentrate solutes under certain conditions. Three such cases have been studied experimentally. 1. A membrane containing thiosulphate and immersed in a solution of iodine concentrates iodide ion. 2. A membrane containing sodium chromate and immersed in mercury chloride concent...

The importance of neurofibrillar impregnations in the study of the nervous system needs no emphasis. However, the silver methods currently used involve such a complex of variables that the results are by no means constant. The present communication is devoted to the problem of interpretation of results, together with certain fundamental relations between brain tissue and silver solution. The mo...

We carried out a theoretical study to investigate the thermodynamics and the kinetics of the activation of the anticancer drug carboplatin in a carbonate buffer, a process which has been suggested to play an important role in the uptake, antitumor activity and toxicity of this drug. The initial stages of this process have been investigated by considering both the carbonate and the bicarbonate i...

Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles with carbonate as the charge balancing anion in the interlayer space were synthesized using co-precipitation method. Then, the carbonate base Zn-Al LDH nanoparticles were doped with phosphate ion via anion-exchange reaction to synthesize Zn-Al-[PO43-]-[CO32-]. The structure and composition were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier ...

A new synthesis approach has been developed to control the morphology of Mn- and Ni-containing carbonate precursors. Through a controlled release of the precipitate, the carbonate precursors form in a "non-classical crystallization" process similar to the natural crystallization of CaCO3, resulting in shapes tunable from microcubes to microspheres. The oriented attachment in the mesocrystal pre...

The increase in the concentration of electrolytes for secondary batteries has significant advantages terms physicochemical and electrochemical performance. This study aims to explore a highly concentrated electrolyte Na-ion using ternary salt system. eutectic composition Na[N(SO2F)2]–Na[N(SO2F)(SO2CF3)]–Na[SO3CF3] molten system increases solubility into an organic solvent, enabling use batterie...

Electrolytic solutions of lithium-ion batteries can be modified with additives to improve their stability and safety. Electroactive molecules can be used as such additives to act as an electron (redox) shuttle between the two electrodes to prevent overcharging. The electroactive ionic liquid, 1-ferrocenylmethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (TFSI), was synthesised and i...

The Lux-Flood basicity of La2O3-containing alkali molten carbonate mixtures has been quantitatively estimated by a gas solubility method based on the use of acidic gaseous O2 for the titration of the oxide concentration in the melt. The amount of gaseous oxygen dissolved in the melt in form of peroxide ion has been taken as a quantitative probe for the carbonate basicity. Results demonstrate th...
