Double Electric Layer on Liquid Sn-Ga Alloy in Acetonitrile Solutions of Electrolytes

The structure of the double electric layer (DEL) on a liquid dropping Sn-Ga electrode containing 8 at. % of Sn is studied in acetonitrile (AN) solutions of electrolytes. It is shown that the transition from aqueous to AN solutions of electrolytes makes it possible to expand the region of investigation of parameters of DEL on an Sn-Ga electrode from negative charges to a zero charge and to small positive charges. As follows from the obtained data, throughout the entire interval of charges studied, an excess, as compared with an Hg electrode, chemisorption interaction (Sn-Ga)-AN is absent. It is established that the distance of the closest approach of AN dipoles to an ionic core increases upon going from Hg to Sn-Ga to Ga. The Ga, Bi-Ga, and Sn-Ga electrodes, which possess close values of the “electrochemical work function,” are used as an example to show that the metal-solvent chemisorption interaction increases with decreasing distance of the closest approach of its dipoles to the ionic core of the metal. The effect of this factor becomes stronger as the donor number of the solvent increases.     

Fabrication of PbTiO3 Ceramic Fibers by Sol-Gel Processing

The sol-gel processing was applied to the fabrication of PbTiO₃ fibers. Pb(CH₃COO)₂·3H₂O and Ti(OC₃H ₇ ⁱ )₄ were refluxed with stirring in 2-methoxyethanol to form Pb-methoxyethoxide and Ti-methoxyethoxide, respectively, followed by mixing with stirring in 2-methoxyethanol to form Pb−Ti double alkoxide. The hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction of this double alkoxide gave polymerized products, and as a result the viscosity of the solution increased, suggesting that linear polymers were produced through the hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction. Homogeneous PbTiO₃ gel fibers were drawn from the spinnable viscous solutions, which were wellcrystallized into perovskite type PbTiO₃ at 650°C. The heat-treated fibers were a few centimeters long and from 10 to 100 μm in diameter. The fiber was made up of extremely uniform grains. Electron diffraction revealed a preferred growth of (101) planes along the fiber axis, which might be due to the linear molecular characteristics of the alkoxide.     

Fraktionierte Kristallisation von Ammonium- und Magnesiumdoppelnitraten der Ceriterden; Bestimmung der Trennfaktoren und Vergleich der Trennwirkung

Summary The Separation Factors for Pr/La, Nd/Pr, and Sm/Nd, characterizing the crystallization of ammonium and magnesium double nitrates under practical conditions, were determined analytically and are discussed. They confirm that La and Pr can be separated better by fractional crystallization of ammonium double nitrates, whereas in the presence of Sm the magnesium double nitrates are preferable.

     

Formal Mathematical Analysis of the Existence of the Common Intersection Point in Relation to Determining the Parameters Describing Ion Adsorption at the Oxide/Electrolyte Interface: Comparison of the Triple and Four-Layer Models

For most oxide/electrolyte systems potentiometric titration curves measured for different ionic strengths have a Common Intersection Point (CIP) which corresponds to the Point of Zero Charge (PZC). However, there are systems where a CIP exists but the surface charge at this point does not equal zero (PZC CIP). In this paper theoretical analysis of the systems in which the PZC and CIP do not coincide is presented. It is based on the well-known 2-pK surface charging approach and Triple Layer Model (TLM) as well as the Four Layer Model (FLM) of the electric double layer. The appropriate mathematical criterion for CIP existence was applied with detailed derivations, both for TLM and FLM. Having determined in this manner the parameter values, one can draw proper conclusions about the features of oxide/electrolyte adsorption systems, in which PZC and CIP do not coincide. The values of adsorption parameters are found by fitting simultaneously the obtained theoretical expressions to both of the experimental titration isotherms, and to the individual isotherms of electrolyte cation adsorption measured using radiometric methods.     

Melting behavior of nylon 6 fiber in textiles

The melting process of constrained nylon 6 fibers has been studied to estimate the true melting point of its original crystals. The melting peak became simpler in shape and shifted to higher temperature with increasing fiber-axis restricting force. When heating rate, β, was increased, the temperature where the melting curve initially departs from its baseline, Tsm, decreased steeply in the range of 45 to 60°C min^-1, and increased linearly with increasing β above 60°C min^-1. By linear extrapolation of Tsm to 0°C min^-1, the temperature of ca 190°C was obtained for the melting temperature of the original nylon 6 crystals. This seems to correspond to the zero-entropy-production melting of the most imperfect crystallites of the nylon 6 fabric. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Kinetics and mechanism of azidomercuration of alkenes,cycloalkenes, and their derivatives with a mercuric acetate-sodium azide system

The kinetics of azidomercuration of alkenes, cycioalkenes, and their derivatives with a Hg(OAc)₂-NaN₃ system (1 1, 1 2, and 1 3) was studied. Based on the data on the product structure and kinetic results, it was concluded that HgOAcN₃ and Hg(N₃)₂ play the role of azidomercuration reagents. The reactions with alkenes having a strained double bond occur by a concerted scheme. With nonstrained alkenes, a multistep mechanism is realized, its first reversible step involving the formation of a mercurinium intermediate with an ion pair structure.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

双重JPEG压缩图像篡改区域检测与定位

对JPEG(joint photographic experts group)图像实施篡改往往会产生双重JPEG(double JPEG,DJPE) 压缩痕迹,分析该痕迹有助于揭示图像压缩历史并实现篡改区域定位。现有算法在图像尺寸较小和质量因子(quality factor,QF) 较低的时候性能不佳,对两个QF的组合情况存在限制。本文提出了一种端到端的混合QF双重JPEG压缩图像取证网络,命名为DJPEGNet。首先,使用预处理层从图像头文件中提取表征压缩历史信息的量化表 (quantization table,Qtable) 特征,将图像从空域转换至DCT(discrete cosine transform)域构造统计直方图特征。然后,将两个特征输入到由深度可分离卷积和残差结构堆叠而成的主体结构,输出二分类结果。最后,使用滑动窗口算法自动定位篡改区域并绘制概率分布图。实验结果表明,在使用不同Qtable集生成的小尺寸数据集上,DJPEGNet所有指标均优于现有最先进的算法,其中ACC提高了1.78%,TPR提升了2.00%,TNR提升了1.60%。

Doped/Undoped A1-A2 Typed Copolymers as ETLs for Highly Efficient Organic Solar Cells

The electron transport layer (ETL) is a critical component in achieving high device performance and stability in organic solar cells. Conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) have become an attractive alternative due to film-forming properties and ease of preparation. However, p-type CPEs generally exhibit poor charge mobility and conductivity, incorporation of electron-withdrawing units forming alternated D-A conjugated backbone can make up for these deficiencies. Herein, the ratio of electron withdrawing moieties are further increased and two poly(A1-alt-A2) typed PIIDNDI-Br and PDPPNDI-Br based on the combination of naphthalene diimide (NDI) with isoindigo (IID) or diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) via direct arylation polycondensation are synthesized. These CPEs possess excellent alcohol solubility, a suitable lowest unocuppied molecular orbital energy level, and work function tunability. Surprisingly, the incorporation of IID and DPP units generate distinct self-doping behaviors, which are confirmed by UV–vis absorption and ESR spectra. However, no matter doped or undoped, both CPEs present better charge-transporting properties and conductivity when utilized as ETLs. The PIIDNDI-Br and PDPPNDI-Br display good universal compatibility with the blend of PM6:Y6 and PM6:L8-BO, and PCEs of 18.32% and 18.36% are obtained, respectively, which also present excellent storage stability. In short, the combination of two different acceptors demonstrates an efficient strategy to design highly efficient ETLs for high performance photovoltaic devices.
