Synthesis of copper dendrite nanostructures by a sonoelectrochemical method

Copper dendrites have been prepared by a sonoelectrochemical process from an aqueous solution of Cu(2+) in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol. A SEM image of the morpholohy of the copper formed on the electrode after one electric pulse is presented. A subsequent sonic pulse removes the copper from the electrode surface, cleaning it for the next step. The formation of the dendrites is accounted for by the "drying-mediated self-assembly of nanoparticles" theory.

强烈阳极氧化法快速制备多孔氧化铝模板

In the electrolyte of oxalic acid/alcohol/aqueous solution, highly-ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) template was fabricated by hard anodization. The surface morphology and the structure of AAO template were characterized by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope(FE-SEM) and XRD, respectively. The effects of different factors including alcohol type, ratio of alcohol to water, and oxalic acid concentration on the ordering degree and pore diameter of AAO template were investigated. Under the glycol to water ratio of 1∶1(by volume) with an oxalic acid concentration of 0.5 mol·L^-1, and voltage at 160 V, the obtained AAO template was hexangular arrangement with pore diameter of 80 nm and pores spacing of 120 nm, the growth rate was 51.9 μm·h^-1.

Effect of immobilization on the main dynamic characteristics of the enzymatic oxidation of methane to methanol by bacteria <Emphasis Type="Italic">Methylosinus sporium</Emphasis> B-2121

The main dynamic characteristics of biochemical methanol formation by the oxidation of methane using a biocatalyst were studied. The biocatalyst is based on cells of bacteria Methylosinus sporium B-2121, both suspended in a medium and immobilized in the poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel. The change in the methane concentration and the biocatalyst amount affects the productivity of the system, the maximal concentration of methanol in the cultural liquid, and the rate of methanol accumulation. The most part of the dynamic characteristics are described by extremal curves. The experimental conditions were optimized prior to experiments. The use of the immobilized biocatalyst makes it possible to enhance the productivity of the process more than fivefold compared to that of the free cells and to achieve the highest methanol concentration in the medium: 62±2 mg L⁻¹.

Oxovanadium(V)-Catalyzed Deoxygenative Coupling Reaction of Alcohols with Trimethylsilyl Enol Ethers in the Presence of MS3A

Oxovanadium(V)-catalyzed deoxygenative coupling reaction of allyl alcohols with trimethylsilyl enol ethers was demonstrated to afford γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in one-step. The catalytic deoxygenative coupling reaction of allyl alcohols proceeded smoothly with both aromatic and aliphatic trimethylsilyl enol ethers. This catalytic deoxygenative coupling system could be applied to the deoxygenative coupling reaction of benzyl alcohols with trimethylsilyl enol ethers, providing the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Furthermore, a gram-scale catalytic synthesis of the γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compound was successfully performed to validate the scalability of this catalytic deoxygenative coupling reaction.     

Gel Polymer Electrolytes with Talc as a Natural Mineral Filler and a Biodegradable Polymer Matrix in Sodium-Ion Batteries

A gel polymer electrolyte based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is used in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The use of biodegradable and water-soluble polymer potentially reduces the negative environmental impact. The other components include sodium salt (NaPF₆), sulfolane (TMS) as a plasticizer and talc. For the first time, natural and abundant talc has been used as an inert filler in a gel polymer electrolyte. The best results were obtained for moderate amounts of filler (1 and 3 wt%). Then, an increase in the conductivity, transference numbers, and thermal stability of the membranes was observed. Moreover, the presence of talc had a positive effect on the cyclability of the hard carbon electrode. The discharge capacity after 50 cycles of HC|1 % T_TMS|Na and HC|3 % T_TMS|Na was 243 and 225 mAh g⁻¹, respectively. The use of talc in gel polymer electrolytes containing sodium ions improves the safety and efficiency of SIBs.
