Vergleichende Messungen des Zeta-Potentials von Faserstoffen durch Elektroosmose und Strömungsstrom/Strömungspotential

An apparatus for the determination of zetapotential is described, which allows measurement of both streaming potential and streaming current as well as electroosmosis with one and the same fiber diaphragm with various electrodes (calomel, Ag/AgCl, palladium). Measurements with glass fibers, fibers of polyacrylonitrile and of polyester, and with cellulose pulp show that identical values for the electrokinetic parameters are obtained independent of voltage applied during electroosmosis resp. pressure difference during streaming measurements. This allows the conclusion that the zetapotential in dilute electrolyte solution is here an unequivocally determinable figure.

Theoretical analysis of the performance of a model supercapacitor consisting of metal oxide nano-particles

The factors influencing the electrochemical behaviour of a supercapacitor have been partly examined in this work. The effects of so-called intrinsic parameters, i.e. exchange current density, unit cell length and double layer (DL) capacitance; as well as the so-called application parameters, i.e. cell current, on the cell potential discharge time have been considered. The contributions of each type of capacitors, DL capacitor and faradaic supercapacitor under various states of operation and material have been analyzed, and the competing (compensating) effects of the two types of capacitors as regards to the discharge and power characteristics manifested by current–potential and energy–power (Ragone plots) are elucidated.     

A unified orbital model of delocalised and localised currents in monocycles, from annulenes to azabora-heterocycles

Why are some (4n+2)π systems aromatic, and some not? The ipsocentric approach to the calculation of the current density induced in a molecule by an external magnetic field predicts a four‐electron diatropic (aromatic) ring current for (4n+2)π carbocycles and a two‐electron paratropic (antiaromatic) current for (4n)π carbocycles. With the inclusion of an electronegativity parameter, an ipsocentric frontier‐orbital model also predicts the transition from delocalised currents in carbocycles to nitrogen‐localised currents in alternating azabora‐heterocycles, which rationalises the differences in (magnetic) aromaticity between these isoelectronic π‐conjugated systems. Ab initio valence‐bond calculations confirm the localisation predicted by the naïve model, and coupled‐Hartree–Fock calculations give current‐density maps that exhibit the predicted delocalised‐to‐localised/carbocycle–heterocycle transition.

Advanced Current Collectors for Alkali Metal Anodes

High-energy-density batteries are in urgent need to solve the ever-increasing energy storage demand for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable solar and wind energy systems. Alkali metals, typically lithium(Li), sodium(Na) and potassium(K), are considered as the promising anode materials owing to their low electrochemical potential, low density, and high theoretical gravimetric capacities. However, the problem of dendrite growth of alkali metals during their plating/stripping process will lead to low Coulombic efficiencies, a short lifespan and huge volume expansion, eventually hindering their practical commercialization. To resolve this issue, a very effective approach is engineering the anodes on structured current collectors. This review summarizes the development of the alkali metal batteries and discusses the recent advances in rational design of anode current collectors. First, the challenges and strategies of suppressing alkali-metal dendrite growth are presented. Then the special attention is paid to the novel current collector design for dendrite-free alkali metal anodes. Finally, we give conclusions and perspective on the current challenges and future research directions toward advanced anode current collectors for alkali metal batteries.

Analytical,structural and electrical characterization of SiGe layers by electron microbeam techniques

k-ratios of Ge-L and Si-K measured at different beam energies allow to evaluate simultaneously composition and thickness of SiGe layers on a Si substrate. A simple technique applying backscattered electrons also enables estimation of composition of bulk SiGe and of composition and thickness of relatively thick (200 nm) SiGe layers on Si. Electron channeling patterns of pseudomorphic SiGe/Si structures and of pure Si substrate show no significant differences whereas in relaxed structures a smearing of the pattern with increasing density of misfit dislocations is observed. Under particular conditions the technique of the electron beam induced current permits imaging of recombination-active misfit dislocations with a spatial resolution around 0.2 m. Moreover, a repulsion of holes due to the valence-band offset in a n-Si/SiGe heterostructure was detected.     

Gas chromatographic determination of organolead compounds with an alternating current plasma detector

The performance of the gas chromatography/alternating current plasma detector as a selective detector for organolead compounds is investigated. The helium make-up flow rate and the spatial position from which the lead emission is viewed, have an effect on the detector response. The detection limit for tetrabutyl lead was established as 130 pg/s and the lead selectivity ratio was found to exceed 13,800. Some applications of organolead determination in complex matrices were also studied in order to demonstrate the selectivity and sensitivity of the alternating current plasma detector.     

Application of HPLC to measure vanadium in environmental,biological and clinical matrices

Vanadate and vanadium compounds exist in many environmental, biological and clinical matrices, and despite the need only limited progress has been made on the analysis of vanadium compounds. The vanadium coordination chemistry of different oxidation states is known, and the result of the characterization and speciation analysis depends on the subsequent chemistry and the methods of analysis. Many studies have used a range of methods for the characterization and determination of metal ions in a variety of materials. One successful technique is high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) that has been used mainly for measuring total vanadium level and metal speciation. Some cases have been reported where complexes of different oxidation states of vanadium have been separated by HPLC. Specifically reversed phase (RP) HPLC has frequently been used for the measurement of vanadium. Other HPLC methods such as normal phase, anion-exchange, cation-exchange, size exclusion and other RP-HPLC modes such as, ion-pair and micellar have been used to separate selected vanadium compounds. We will present a review that summarizes and critically analyzes the reported methods for analysis of vanadium salts and vanadium compounds in different sample matrices. We will compare various HPLC methods and modes including sample preparation, chelating reagents, mobile phase and detection methods. The comparison will allow us to identify the best analytical HPLC method and mode for measuring vanadium levels and what information such methods provide with regard to speciation and quantitation of the vanadium compounds.
