We studied the electric properties of phosphatidylcholine bilayers modified with crown ether (dibenzo[18] crown-6). The studies were carried out for various crown ether concentrations in forming solutions and various potassium ion concentrations in electrolyte solutions. The presence of crown ether in the membrane influences the membrane's impedance; there is a reduction in its resistivity, a d...

The hydrophobic spin probe 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-oxyl-4-yl octadecanoate (TEMPO-stearate) was used to study the hydration of the polar shell of Triton X-100 micelles as functions of the concentration of the electrolytes KCl, NaCl, and LiCl and temperature. It was shown that the hydration of the polar shell of the Triton X-100 micelle decreases with both increasing electrolyte concentr...

Two modes of electrochemical harvesting for microalgae were investigated in the current work. A sacrificial anode (aluminum) was used to study electrocoagulation-flotation process, and a nonsacrificial (graphite) investigate electroflotation process. The inspected effect chloride ions concentration interelectrode distance on performance processes. results demonstrated that both electrodes achie...

On the basis of a versatile mode-coupling theory (MCT) method developed in Paper I [C. Contreras Aburto and G. Nägele, J. Chem. Phys. 139, 134109 (2013)], we investigate the concentration dependence of conduction-diffusion linear transport properties for a symmetric binary electrolyte solution. The ions are treated in this method as charged Brownian spheres, and the solvent-mediated ion-ion hyd...

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZBs), with their high theoretical capacity, low cost, safety, and environmental friendliness, have risen as a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage. Despite the fruitful progress in cathode material research, electrochemical performance of AZB remains hindered by physical chemical instability Zn anode. The anode suffers from dendrite gr...

The objective of this study was to assess changes in membrane permeability during rehydration of freeze-dried Weissella paramesenteroides LC11. Viability was assessed using the electrical conductivity measurement (ms cm -1 g -1 dry weight) and the plate count method (cfu g -1 dry weight). The symptoms of injury included an increase in the electrolyte leakage during the first 4 h of rehydration ...
