Dielectric loss and electromagnetic absorption performance study of 1T/2H-MoS2/Mo2S3 nanocomposites with different ratios

High dielectric loss materials have an important application in electromagnetic (EM) absorption fields. In this paper, the ternary nanocomposites: 1T/2H-MoS₂/Mo₂S₃ with heterogeneous interfaces are synthesized by hydrothermal method. XRD, XPS, FTIR, SEM, and TEM measurements are applied to study the structure, morphology, and composition. The frequency spectra of complex permittivity (ε_r-f) are measured in 2–18 GHz by vector network analyzer. The results show that the nanocomposites have higher dielectric loss angle tangents than the reported 2H-MoS₂ absorbers. Based on the ε_r-f spectra, the reflection loss-frequency curves ($RL-f$) are simulated at given thicknesses. An effective absorption bandwidth of 5.2 GHz (12.8–18 GHz) and a $RL$ peak of −29.49 dB are achieved in a thin thickness of 1.62 mm, which are comparable to the reported 2H-MoS₂ absorbers with complex composition, showing that the 1T/2H-MoS₂/Mo₂S₃ nanocomposites have great application potential as an EM wave absorber in the K_u band.     

Highly stable dielectric frequency response of chemically synthesized Mn-substituted ZnFe2O4

The tenacity of the present study was to develop a material using an economical chemical route, having balance between magnetic and dielectric order parameters for maximum transmittance of electromagnetic waves in order to use them in shielding materials. In this context, Mn-Zn ferrites were prepared using a wet chemical based sol-gel auto-combustion technique. X-ray diffraction confirmed the pure phase formation of samples, while some impurity peaks were also present for the higher value of Mn substitution. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed a decrease in grain size with increasing Mn substitution. While energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the elemental composition of pure and Mn substituted samples, the dielectric constant, dielectric loss and tangent loss were decreased with increasing frequency and increasing Mn substitution. The complex electric modulus was found to be a function of frequency and values of complex electric modulus were increased with increasing frequency and Mn substitution. The complex impedance of RC series circuit and RC parallel circuit was also decreased with increasing both the parameters while AC conductivity was increased in the series. Dielectric frequency response was also studied for the prepared samples and the best match was found with expected results. The Nyquist and Cole-Cole plots revealed the semi-conductive behavior at higher frequency and Mn substitution also yielded the same results. The relative stability of the samples to be used as dielectric materials was also studied using Bode and Nichols plots, and a comparatively high gain margin was observed, well suitable for potential applications in electromagnetic shielding.     

Relations between kinetic parameters of different column models for liquid chromatography applying core-shell particles

This article presents analytical solutions of the general rate model (GRM), the lumped kinetic model (LKM), and the simpler equilibrium dispersive model (EDM) for core-shell particles and linear adsorption isotherms. The solutions in the Laplace domain are applied to derive analytical expressions for the temporal moments of these models. The results provide relations between the model specific kinetic parameters by matching one or more of the temporal moments. Several case studies are considered for illustration. The results show that simpler models are in many cases as good as the most detailed GRM if their kinetic parameters fulfill the matching relations. Thus, it is possible to reliably predict elution profiles using the simpler models. The derived analytical expressions can also be utilized to efficiently estimate model parameters from experimentally observed elution profiles to further optimize core-shell particles and to identify suitable column sizes and operating conditions.     

Electrochemical methods for analysing and controlling charge transfer at the electrode–tissue interface

There have been rapid advances in the development of new materials for use in electrode–tissue interfacing. The development of conducting polymers, conducting hydrogels, carbon nanotubes, graphene and other conducting materials has provided a rich landscape for controlling charge transfer at the electrode–tissue interface and hence to monitor and manipulate cell behaviour. These materials have been used in tissue-engineered constructs to direct and control cell proliferation, growth and differentiation. However, their translation to clinical devices has been less successful. In this review, the use of electroanalytical techniques to develop an understanding of charge transfer at the electrode–tissue interface is discussed. In particular, the impact of solution and electrode conditions on charge injection capacity is demonstrated. The importance of standardised testing methods and the correlation of electrochemical and electrophysiological performance show the limitations of empirical studies and help define key electrode properties for clinical devices. The development of a sound theoretical basis for charge transfer at this increasingly important interface is being advocated to improve clinical outcomes and device lifetime and reduce power usage.
