Study of the cerium(IV)-picrate system in acetonitrile

A potentiometric and spectrophotometric study has been made of the reaction between hexanitratocerate and picrate in dry acetonitrile. Several cerium(IV)-picrate complexes are formed; the formation constant for the first is estimated to be 4 from spectrophotometric measurements. The catalytic effect of picrate on hydroquinone oxidation by nitratocerate is postulated to be due to more rapid electron transfer by cerium picrate complexes.

Separation of rhodium from iridium with sodium borohydride and standardization of rhodium(III) solutions

Of the platinum group metal separations, that of rhodium from iridium is the most difficult. The existing gravimetric methods are too lengthy or make use of organic reagents which ultimately need to be removed before iridium can be determined. The proposed method of separation is rapid, needs no pH control, and easy to carry out. Rh(III) ions are quantitatively reduced to Rh(0) by the action of aqueous sodium borohydride. The separation is best achieved in perchlorate medium in the presence of hydroxylamine. The separation is dependent on the concentration ratio of iridium to rhodium; if this is high, some iridium is co-precipitated; if low, the rhodium obtained is free from even spectrographic traces of iridium. A new method for standardization of Rh(III) solutions with sodium borohydride is proposed.     

A new anode material LiMoS2 for use in rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries

The novel applications of molybdenum disulfide in recent research were reviewed, such as in lubricant, catalyst and photoelectrochemical solar cells. Recently, we found that LiMoS2 is a good candidate for new anode materials for lithium ion batteries with high lithium storage capacity.Here, the anode material LiMoS2 was synthesized by a hydrothermal method at 150℃ and the electrochemical characterization as an anode material for lithium ion batteries was examined.put in Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclaves of capacity 40 mL. Distilled water was used to fill the autoclaves to 70 % of the total volume. The autoclaves were maintained at 150℃ for 24 h and then cooled naturally. The resulting dark-gray powders were filled and washed with distilled water,diluted hydrochloric acid and ethanol, successively. The final products were dried at 80℃ for 24 h.The powder X-ray diffraction pattern showed the prepared LiMoS2 was amorphous structure. A test cell using LiMoS2 as the active material was discharged and charged between 3 and 0.01 V with respect to Li metal at a constant current density of C/5 (that is, one lithium per formula unit in 5 hours). During the first discharge, the potential rapidly drops to reach a large plateau at 2.2 V, then slowly drops to the other plateau at 0.8 V, and then continuously decreases down to 0.01V. There is only a plateau at 1.35 V in the subsequent discharge curves. The plateaus of charge potential appear at about 1.9 V.The irreversible loss was 41% in the first cycle. The ratio of discharge and charge is more than 99%in the subsequent cycles. Moreover, the ratio of discharge and charge almost reaches 100% after thedemonstrated that LiMoS2 has a very high capacity and a good cycle-ability as an anode material forlithium ion batteries.     

Reaction studies of carbon clusters

Reaction studies of carbon clustersC _n in the rangen=8–37, produced by laser vaporisation in a supersonic nozzle, have been investigated using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Clear differences in reaction products formed on hydrogenation are detected which show that even and odd clusters behave quite differently and furthermore thatat least two different types of even cluster appear to exist. The reactivity patterns for clusters C _n withn=16, 18 and 22 are in a different class from those withn=20, 24, 26 ..., a behaviour consistent with the existence of closed cage fullerene structures for even clusters with 20 or more carbon atoms (other thann=22).     

Transport processes in the sorption of colored ions by peat particles

A three-step model has been proposed for the adsorption of Astrazone Blue dye (Basic Blue 69) on peat. The initial rate of uptake of dye ions due to physical adsorption and chemisorption (ion exchange) has been correlated using a surface mass transfer coefficient. These coefficients have been determined and expressed in the dimensionless mass transfer form, Sh/Sc^0.33, as a function of agitation, initial dye concentration, peat particle size range, dye solution temperature, and mass of peat.
