The linearresponse ranges towards the above-mentioned anions are 10^-6 10^-2, 10^-5 10^-2,10^-5 10^-2, 10^-5 10^-1, and 10^-5 10^-2mol/Land the corresponding slopes are -56.8, -57.1, -56.3, -56.1, and -59.9mV/decade with correlation coefficients of -0.99978, -0.99987, -0.99999,-0.99998, and -0.99998, respectively. The electrode shows an anti-Hofmeisterselectivity sequence: Pic^- > SCN^- >ReO ₄ ^- > ClO ₄ ^- > I^- >Br^- > BF ₄ ^- > Sal^->NO ₃ ^- > Cl^-. The unusual responsemechanism of the novel anion-selective electrode was investigated byexperimental observations and calculation with the MNDO method. Theelectrode was used as a TPB^- and a Pic^-sensitiveelectrode, respectively, and applied to the assay of levamisolehydrochloride tablets by potentiometric titration and Gran's methods. Theresults obtained are in excellent agreement with that determined by thestandard pharmacopoeia method based on nonaqueous titration.     

Synthesis of Crystalline Porous Organic Salts with High Proton Conductivity

Self‐assembled crystalline porous organic salts (CPOSs) formed by an acid–base combination and with one‐dimensional polar channels containing water molecules have been synthesized. The water content in the channels of the porous salts plays an important role in the proton conduction performance of the materials. The porous salts described in this study feature high proton conductivity at ambient conditions and can reach as high as 2.2×10⁻² S cm⁻¹ at 333 K and under high humid conditions. This is among the best conductivity values reported to date for porous materials, for example, metal–organic frameworks and hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks. These materials exhibiting permanent porosity represent a group of porous materials and may find interesting applications in proton‐exchange membrane fuel cells.

Aggregation of Giant Cerium–Bismuth Tungstate Clusters into a 3D Porous Framework with High Proton Conductivity

The exploration of high nuclearity molecular metal oxide clusters and their reactivity is a challenge for chemistry and materials science. Herein, we report an unprecedented giant molecular cerium–bismuth tungstate superstructure formed by self‐assembly from simple metal oxide precursors in aqueous solution. The compound, {[W₁₄Ce^IV₆O₆₁]([W₃Bi₆Ce^III₃(H₂O)₃O₁₄][B‐α‐BiW₉O₃₃]₃)₂}^34? was identified by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and features 104 metal centers, a relative molar mass of ca. 24 000 and is ca. 3.0×2.0×1.7 nm³ in size. The cluster anion is assembled around a central {Ce₆} octahedron which is stabilized by several molecular metal oxide shells. Six trilacunary Keggin anions ([B‐α‐BiW₉O₃₃]^9?) cap the superstructure and limit its growth. In the crystal lattice, water‐filled channels with diameters of ca. 0.5 nm are observed, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows pronounced proton conductivity even at low temperature.

Dopamine Sensor Based on a Composite of Silver Nanoparticles Implemented in the Electroactive Matrix of Calixarenes

A sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a composite containing silver nanoparticles and a redox active thiacalixarene with catechol fragments in the substituents at the lower rim has been developed and used for dopamine detection. The electrochemical investigation of thiacalixarene in homogeneous solution and on the electrode interface showed the reversible character of the redox conversion of catechol fragments and its involvement in the chemical reduction of silver which resulted in formation of uniform nanoparticles of 4–6 nm in diameter. The use of such a material for electrode modification made it possible to record a high amplitude cathodic signal at ?700 mV that was proportional to the dopamine concentration within 1 nM–1 µM.

Polarization Curve of a Porous Hydrophobized Electrode for Electrosynthesis Involving a Side Electrochemical Reaction

A polarization curve, suggested for electrosynthesis in a porous hydrophobized electrode operating in an inner-kinetic mode at a current efficiency for the target product below 100%, depends on the balance between exchange currents and slopes of the side and target reactions and the difference between the equilibrium potential of the side reaction and the steady-state electrode potential. At different slopes of the side and the target reactions, the current efficiency depends on the polarization. Experimental and calculated data satisfactory agree.     

Large Scale Synthesis of Three-dimensional Hierarchical Porous Framework with High Conductivity and its Application in Lithium Sulfur Battery

Quick capacity loss due to the polysulfide shuttle effects and poor rate performance caused by low conductivity of sulfur have always been obstacles to the commercial application of lithium sulfur batteries. Herein, an in-situ doped hierarchical porous biochar materials with high electron-ion conductivity and adjustable three-dimensional (3D) macro-meso-micropore is prepared successfully. Due to its unique physical structure, the resulting material has a specific surface area of 2124.9 m² g⁻¹ and a cumulative pore volume of 1.19 cm³ g⁻¹. The presence of micropores can effectively physically adsorb polysulfides and mesopores ensure the accessibility of lithium ions and active sites and give the porous carbon material a high specific surface area. The large pores provide channels for the storage of electrolyte and the transmission of ions on the surface of the substrate. The combined effect of these three kinds of pores and the N doping formed in-situ can effectively promote the cycle and rate performance of the battery. Therefore, prepared cathode can still reach a reversible discharge capacity of 616 mAh g⁻¹ at a rate of 5 C. After 400 charge–discharge cycles at 1 C, the reversible capacity is maintained at 510.0 mAh g⁻¹. This new strategy has provided a new approach to the research and industrial-scale production of adjustable hierarchical porous biochar materials.

Distribution of a Soluble Product During Its Electrosynthesis in the Porous Hydrophobic Electrode

The distribution of the concentration of a product, which is soluble in the electrolyte, inside a porous hydrophobic electrode is calculated. During the electrosynthesis under inner-kinetic conditions, the electrode obeys regularities observed in hydrophobic electrodes of fuel cells. The product distribution depends mainly on the polarization at the electrode front, the electrolyte conductivity, and the diffusion coefficient, and slightly depends on the electrode structure. An approximate equation describing the distribution of the product concentration inside the electrode is suggested.

Novel Catalysts for Gasification of Biomass with High Conversion Efficiency

We have developed catalysts for the gasification of biomass with much higher energy efficiency than the conventional methods (noncatalyst, dolomite, and commercial steam reforming Ni catalyst). In our investigation, the Rh/CeO₂ gave high yields of syngas for cellulose gasification using a fluidized-bed reactor with batch feeding of cellulose. However, the catalyst was deactivated because of sintering of CeO₂ during the reaction. To prevent the CeO₂ sintering, we have further improved the catalyst and found that Rh/CeO₂/SiO₂ was quite stable for the gasification of cellulose. It was demonstrated that Rh/CeO₂/SiO₂ gave almost complete gasification of real biomass (wood powder) at 873 K. These results indicate that the combination of this kind of catalyst and fluidized-bed reactor can realize the energy-efficient biomass gasification.     

Electroactive Organic Building Blocks for the Chemical Design of Functional Porous Frameworks (MOFs and COFs) in Electronics

Electroactive organic molecules have received a lot of attention in the field of electronics because of their fascinating electronic properties, easy functionalization and potential low cost towards their implementation in electronic devices. In recent years, electroactive organic molecules have also emerged as promising building blocks for the design and construction of crystalline porous frameworks such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) for applications in electronics. Such porous materials present certain additional advantages such as, for example, an immense structural and functional versatility, combination of porosity with multiple electronic properties and the possibility of tuning their physical properties by post-synthetic modifications. In this Review, we summarize the main electroactive organic building blocks used in the past few years for the design and construction of functional porous materials (MOFs and COFs) for electronics with special emphasis on their electronic structure and function relationships. The different building blocks have been classified based on the electronic nature and main function of the resulting porous frameworks. The design and synthesis of novel electroactive organic molecules is encouraged towards the construction of functional porous frameworks exhibiting new functions and applications in electronics.     

Thermally Expanded Graphite as Functional Material in the Technology of Electrode Material with Mixed Conductivity

Methods of differential thermal analysis and cyclic voltammetry were used to examine the functional properties of thermally expanded graphite in an electrode material for electrochemical systems. This material contains platinum, carbon black, and proton-conducting polymer Nafion. It was shown that addition of thermally expanded graphite to the electrode material makes higher the thermal stability of Nafion. Under an electrochemical treatment, thermally expanded graphite compares well in stability against this treatment with the commonly used carbon black of the Vulcan XC-72 type. A mechanism is suggested for stabilizing the proton-conducting polymer Nafion in the presence of thermally expanded graphite. It was shown that thermally expanded graphite is promising for being used in the technology of electrode materials with mixed conductivity, which contain a proton-conducting polymer of the Nafion type, as a functional additive serving to improve the thermal stability.
