Growth of La2CuO4 nanofibers under a mild condition by using single walled carbon nanotubes as templates

La₂CuO₄ nanofibers (ca. 30 nm in diameter and 3 μm in length) have been grown in situ by using single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs; ca. 2 nm in inner diameter; made via cracking CH₄ over the catalyst of Mg_0.8Mo_0.05Ni_0.10Co_0.05O_x at 800 °C) as templates under mild hydrothermal conditions and a temperature around 60 °C. During synthesis, the surfactant poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) and H₂O₂ were added to disperse SWNTs and oxidize the reactants, respectively. The structure of La₂CuO₄ nanofibers was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and their morphologies were observed with field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) at the hydrothermal synthesis lasting for 5, 20 and 40 h, respectively. The La₂CuO₄ crystals grew from needle-like (5 h) through stick-like (20 h) and finally to plate-like (40 h) fibers. Twenty hours is an optimum reaction time to obtain regular crystal fibers. The La₂CuO₄ nanofibers are probably cubic rather than round and may capsulate SWNTs.

Application of 2-chloro-1,4-dimethoxybenzene and 4-fluoro-1,2-dimethoxybenzene additives in electrolyte for liquid state Al-plastic film lithium-ion batteries

In order to prevent the electrolyte decomposition of liquid state Al-plastic film lithium-ion batteries during overcharge, the redox reactions of 2-chloro-1,4-dimethoxybenzene and 4-fluoro-1,2-dimethoxy-benzene as possible electrolyte additives were characterized by using overcharge tests, galvanostatic charge–discharge techniques, linear sweep voltammetry tests, rate capability tests, and cycling tests. Results indicate that for both additives, the initial charge reaction occurred at 4.1 V and their redox products were shuttled between the cathode and anode. The shuttle reactions will consume excess current, thus resulting in an improvement on overcharge performance for the batteries. In addition, the additives had little negative effects on the electrochemical performance when the current was low.     

Enantioseparation of Hydrobenzoin and Structurally Related Compounds on <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-Cyclodextrin and Hydroxypropyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-cyclodextrin Bonded Chiral Stationary Phases

A β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and a hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) bonded chiral stationary phase (CSP) were prepared. Comparative evaluations of these two CSPs for the enantioseparation of hydrobenzoin, benzoin and α-phenethyl alcohol by reversed-phase liquid chromatography were presented. The effects of buffer composition in the mobile phase on the retention and enantioseparation were investigated. The borate buffer had a significant influence on the retention and enantioseparation of hydrobenzoin. Linear solvent strength retention model was used to fit the chromatographic data. Good linearity existed between the logarithm of retention factor (k) and the volume fraction of organic modifier (φ). Another retention model, stoichiometric displacement theory for retention, was also tried to fit the chromatographic data. The results showed that not only acetonitrile, but also water molecules participated in the displacing process of the solute.

Preparation and comparison of three zwitterionic stationary phases for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography

Surface‐bonded zwitterionic stationary phases have shown highlighted performances in separation of polar and hydrophilic compounds under hydrophilic interaction chromatography mode. So, it would be helpful to evaluate the characteristics of zwitterionic stationary phases with different arranged charged groups. The present work involved the preparation and comparison of three zwitterionic stationary phases. An imidazolium ionic liquid was designed and synthesized, and the cationic and anionic moieties respectively possessed positively charged imidazolium ring and negatively charged sulfonic groups. Then, the prepared ionic liquid, phosphorylcholine and an imidazolium‐based zwitterionic selector were bonded on the surface of silica to obtain three zwitterionic stationary phases. The selectivity properties were characterized and compared through the relative retention of selected solute pairs, and different kinds of hydrophilic solutes mixtures were used to evaluate the chromatographic performances. Moreover, the zwitterionic stationary phases were further characterized by the modified linear solvation energy relationship model to probe the multiple interactions. All the results indicated that the types and arrangement of charged groups in zwitterionic stationary phases mainly affect the retention and separation of ionic or ionizable compounds, and for interaction characteristics the contribution from n and π electrons and electrostatic interactions displayed certain differences.

By using Leray-Schauder degree theory and fixed point theorems, we prove the existence of solutions. Our results extend the existence theorems for the classical Bagley-Torvik equation and some related models.
