Gel polymer electrolytes were prepared using agar polymer host, NH4I, and I2 salts. The sample of agar paste with 1.0 M of NH4I and 0.2 μM of I2 exhibits the highest conductivity and lowest viscosity values at room temperature of (2.64?±?0.19)?×?10?3?S?cm?1 and 1.17?±?0.29 Pa?s, respectively. All of the gel polymer electrolytes display Arrhenian behavior, and the optimum agar paste gave the lowest activation energy of 0.25 eV. It also had a good physical appearance compared with the other samples. This gel polymer electrolyte had a good potential and was applicable to a role as electrolyte in ITO-ZnO (N719 dye)/agar paste?+?1.0 M NH4I?+?0.2 μM I2/Au-Pd-ITO dye-sensitized solar cell. 相似文献

Convergence dynamics of Hopfield-type neural networks subjected to almost periodic external stimuli are investigated. In this article, we assume that the network parameters vary almost periodically with time and we incorporate variable delays in the processing part of the network architectures. By employing Halanay inequalities, we obtain delay independent sufficient conditions for the networks to converge exponentially toward encoded patterns associated with the external stimuli. The networks are guaranteed to have exponentially hetero-associative stable encoding of the external stimuli. 相似文献
We have developed a new method for a fast and precise analysis of circle-to-circle amplification (C2CA) product for specific gene detection by microchip electrophoresis. In this method, we have added a new enzymatic step to the C2CA reaction, which could be carried out isothermally at 37 degrees C. Compared to the original single-stranded DNA, the double-stranded DNA that is produced by this enzymatic reaction is more reliable for analysis by microchip electrophoresis. C2CA product was detected within 55 s with high reproducibility by this method which was successfully applied to the detection of 10-ng genomic DNA of the pathogenic bacteria Vibrio. cholerae within 110 s. Purification was found to be an indispensable step for the analysis of the C2CA product of genomic DNA samples. 相似文献
We study the filling invariants at infinity divk for Hadamard manifolds defined by Brady and Farb [ Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 350(8) (1998), 3393–3405]. Among other results, we give a positive answer to the question they posed: whether these invariants
can be used to detect the rank of a symmetric space of noncompact type. 相似文献
Simultaneous visual observation and monitoring of the ultrasonic signals show that acoustic emission (AE) produced as Pb5Ge3O11c-plate crystals undergo the ferroelectric hysteresis cycle results from domain wall nucleation and collapse. AE activity takes place predominantly at applied electric fields large enough to bring a crystal substantially towards its saturation polarisation. A notable feature observed in Pb5Ge3O11 and Pb5?xBaxGe3O11 alloys is the existence of an abrupt threshold electric field, denoted by E∞ in the high gain limit, for production of AE: as the electric field is increased beyond the threshold value, the amount of AE observed increases by several orders of magnitude. E∞ depends linearly on the inverse of the c-plate sample thickness (1/d) and also upon sample temperature—falling to a minimum at about 70°C for Pb5Ge3O11 and then rising steeply as the Curie temperature (178°C) is approached. E∞ is also dependent on the rate of change of the applied electric field and as this is increased extrapolates to the high frequency limit of the coercive field. Measurements of crystal polarisation indicate a one-to-one correspondence between AE and the electrical Barkhausen pulses which occur during polarisation reversal—further evidence for domain nucleation and collapse as the source of AE. Optical and AE studies made simultaneously on gadolinium molybdate add confirmation that these particular processes are responsible for the AE produced by ferroelectric crystals. 相似文献
The use of decatungstate in combination with silanes to generate silyl radicals under green fluorescence bulb irradiation as well as sunlight exposure is described. The mechanisms are investigated by ESR and laser flash photolysis experiments. The high potential of this reaction is evidenced here when using a decatungstate/silane/diphenyl iodonium salt combination as an initiating system for the ring opening photopolymerization of epoxides.
Chemical studies on the crude methanolic extract of Coprinus micaceus, collected from the Canadian Prairie region, have resulted in the isolation of two new natural products, micaceol (1), a sterol and (Z,Z)-4-oxo-2,5-hetpadienedioic acid (2). Compound 2 was isolated for the first time as a natural product. Structures of these new compounds were established with the aid of extensive NMR spectroscopic studies. Compound 1 has shown anti-bacterial activity against Corynebacterium xerosis and Staphylococcus aureus, whereas compound 2 exhibited glutathione S-transferase inhibition. 相似文献
