Synthesis and characterization of oligo-4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol

The oxidative polycondensation of 4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol (4-PIMP) with O₂, H₂O₂, and NaOCl was studied in an aqueous alkaline medium between 50°C and 90°C. Oligo-4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol (O-4-PIMP) prepared was characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR, UV-VIS, size-exclusion chromatography, and elemental and thermal analyses techniques. At the optimum reaction conditions, the yield of O-4-PIMP was 18.9%, 39.4%, and 46.8% using H₂O₂, O₂, and NaOCl oxidant, respectively. According to the TG analysis, the initial degradation temperature of O-4-PIMP was 218°C, which was by 50°C higher than that of 4-PIMP. Thermal analyses of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were carried out in N₂ atmosphere at 15–1000°C. The highest occupied molecular orbital, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, and electrochemical energy gaps of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were determined from the onset potentials for n-doping and p-doping, respectively. Also, optical band gaps of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were determined according to UV-VIS measurements.     

聚乙撑二氧噻吩膜在氧化态的充电过程及电容研究

In this paper, the chronoamperometry was used to study the charging processes of polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) modified electrodes in the potential range where PEDOT was in the oxidized state. The results show that the charging behaviors of the PEDOT films are well agreed with the exhausted finite diffusion model. The dependence of the capacitance values of the films on potential and concentration of solution was also studied in this potential range.     

Comparison between potentiostatic and galvanostatic intermittent titration techniques for determination of chemical diffusion coefficients in ion-insertion electrodes

Using well-cycled, thin composite graphite electrodes we analyze carefully the limitations of potentiostatic and galvanostatic intermittent titration techniques (PITT and GITT, respectively) for determination of the differential (incremental) intercalation capacitance, C_dif, and the chemical diffusion coefficient, D, of Li ions in these ion-insertion electrodes (IIEs). We demonstrate the superiority of the GITT over PITT to determine these quantities as the former technique allows for a more accurate determination of C_dif and hence D which closely approach to the spinodal domain related to the first-order phase transition during ion-insertion. We show that GITT is also more effective in eliminating the parasitic contributions of background currents to the total measured response. A pronounced difference in the initial, intrinsic kinetics of formation of a new phase in the bulk of the old one has been observed depending on the direction of titration (phases less saturated with Li are formed faster during deintercalation than the Li-rich phases in the course of intercalation).     

Ion pair generation rates near planar3H and63Ni electron capture detector foils

The ion-pair generation rate (ionization topography) in plasmas from⁶³Ni and particularly Ti³H₄ foils, as used in electron capture detectors, was measured at room temperature using large, parallel plates of low backscattering ability in nitrogen gas of varying density. For one atmosphere pressure, the fall-off of ion pair formation as calculated from the exponential region equalsN ₀·e ^–0.19d for⁶³Ni andN ₀·e ^–1.4d for³H (whereN ₀ is the initial ionization rate immediately adjacent to the foil andd is the distance from the foil in mm). The experimentally measured half ranges (distances from the foil within which 50% of all possible ion pairs are created) are 2.7 mm for⁶³Ni and 0.27 mm for³H. The half ranges calculated from the exponential region where there is less interference from electron backscattering, are 3.7 and 0.5 mm, respectively. The latter values are considered closer to the true, unimpeded ionization topography near planar⁶³Ni and³H foils.Material taken from doctoral thesis     

Refining adsorption parameters of n-butyl alcohol at the interface of mercury electrode with aqueous NaF and Na2SO4 solutions by correcting the adsorbate concentration

As an adjunct to the regression analysis of differential capacitance curves, which allows refining the adsorption parameters, a program, which takes into account possible errors in volume concentrations of organic substances, is developed. Using this procedure, the earlier data on the differential capacitance of a mercury electrode in aqueous solutions of normal butanol (1-BuOH) containing either 0.1 M NaF or 0.05 and 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ as the supporting electrolyte are analyzed. This allows obtaining the most accurate values of adsorption parameters for the systems mentioned above within the framework of the model of two parallel capacitors and the Frumkin isotherm. It is shown that, when a linear dependence of the intermolecular interaction parameter on the electrode potential is taken into account, the standard deviation of experimental capacitance values from those calculated using the mentioned model is 6.8–8.8%, which points to very high accuracy of this phenomenological model.

Electrical Behavior of New Orthophosphates Na2M3(PO4)3 (M3=GaMn2, GaCd2, InMn2 and FeMnCd) with Alluaudite-Like Structure

New sodium orthophosphates of general formula Na₂M₃(PO₄)₃ belonging to the alluaudite-type structure have been synthesized and characterized by neutron and X-ray powder diffraction. The nature of the M₃ elements (M₃=GaMn₂, GaCd₂, InMn₂ and FeMnCd) was chosen in order to analyze their influence on electrical and magnetic properties. The conductivity of these materials was measured by the complex impedance method and the transport mechanism was studied from complex permittivities and modulus formalism. Electrical results including charge/discharge experiments showed two main behaviors: GaCd₂ and FeMnCd behave as purely ionic conductors whereas GaMn₂ and InMn₂ are mixed ionic-electronic conductors. The magnetic susceptibility data reveal the antiferromagnetic behavior of FeMnCd, InMn₂ and GaMn₂, with a weak ferromagnetic transition at low temperatures.
