Y2O3 and MgO co-doped ceria based electrolytes

Electrolytes of Ce_1-x-y Y _x Mg _y O_2-0.5x-y were prepared with citrate method and were characterized by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, energy dispersive spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction, and impedance spectroscopy. The effect of composition on the structure, conductivity, and stability of the electrolytes were investigated. When 0≤x≤ about 0.2 and 0≤y≤ about 0.05, the electrolytes were all single phase materials of ceria-based solid solution. However, when y> about 0.05, the electrolytes became two-phase materials, Y³⁺ and Mg²⁺ co-doped ceria-based solid solution and free MgO. The sample with nominal composition of Ce_0.815Y_0.065Mg_0.12O_2-d showed ionic conductivity at 973 K close to or even a little higher than that of similarly prepared Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95, but had lower cost of raw materials and a little better stability in reducing atmosphere. The existing of free MgO improved the stability of the electrolytes in reducing atmosphere, but too much free MgO reduced the conductivity.     

Interactions between anionic mixed micelles and α-cyclodextrin and their inclusion complexes: conductivity, NMR and fluorescence study

Mixed micelle formation of anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium lauroyl sarcosine (SLAS) have been studied in water and in 5, 10, and 15 mM concentrations of α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) over mole fraction range of α _SDS from 0 to 1. From the conductivity curves, the critical micellar concentration (CMC) for the pure and binary mixtures were evaluated. The degree of counterion association (χ) or counterion dissociation (δ), the equivalent ionic conductivities of the monomeric species (Λ _m), the associated species (Λ _assc), and the micelle (Λ _mic) were evaluated from the slope of the conductivity vs concentration plots. The CMC values have been used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters such as the standard free energy of micelle formation and a transfer of standard free energy of micelle from the aqueous medium to additive medium computed. The apparent CMC of the surfactants varies linearly with α-CD concentrations. From the dependence of CMC of the surfactants on α-CD concentration, we are able to determine the association constant (K) of surfactant-α-CD inclusion complexes assuming 1:1 stoichiometry. Mixed micelle behaves ideally in the pure water as well as at the different concentrations of α-CD, which was evaluated by using the Clint equation, the regular solution approximation, and Motomura’s formulation. Self-diffusion coefficients of the micelle increased upon the induction of SDS into the micelle. 2D-rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy spectra of SDS and SLAS were recorded in the presence of α-CD to investigate the interaction between H-atoms of the alkyl chain of the surfactants and H-atoms of the hydrophobic cavity of α-CD indicating multiple complexation. The fluorescence anisotropy of rhodamine B has been measured to observe the structural behavior of mixed micelle.     

Conductivity and band gap of oligo-2-[(4-fluorophenyl) imino methylene] phenol and some of its oligomer-metal complexes

Schiff base oligomer of 2-[(4-fluorophenyl) imino methylene] phenol (FPIMP) was synthesized via oxidative polycondensation reaction in an alkaline medium. Oligomer-metal complex compounds were synthesized from the reactions of oligo-2-[(4-fluorophenyl) imino methylene] phenol (OFPIMP) with Co⁺², Ni⁺² and Cu⁺² ions. The synthesis was achieved by oxidative coupling based on air oxygen as an oxidant. While synthesized Schiff base oligomer was soluble in most common organic solvents, its metal complexes were only soluble in dimethylsulfoxide. Electrochemical HOMO and LUMO band gap (E_g) of monomer, oligomer and its metal complexes were calculated from oxidation and reduction onset values. According to cyclic voltammetry (CV) and UV-vis measurements, electrochemical energy gaps and optical band gap (E_g) values of monomer and oligomer were found to be 3.26 and 3.10; 3.15 and 2.96 eV, respectively. Conductivity measurements of doped and undoped Schiff base oligomer and its metal complexes were carried out by electrometer at a room temperature and atmospheric pressure and were calculated from four-point probe technique. When iodine was used as doping agent, conductivity of this oligomer and its metal complexes were observed to be increased.

Determination of synthetic pharmaceuticals in phytotherapeutics by capillary zone electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection (CZE-CD)

In this work, a method for simultaneous determination of amfepramone, fenproporex, sibutramine and fluoxetine was developed by capillary zone electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C⁴D) using a homemade capillary electrophoretic system. The optimized conditions for the separation of the pharmaceuticals by CZE were as follows: 50 mmol L^− 1 phosphate buffer (pH 5.0) in 50/50 (v/v) mixture of water/acetonitrile as the working electrolyte, 15 kV separation voltage, 25 °C separation temperature, hydrodynamic injection by gravity using 20 cm injection height and 60 s injection time. The detection by C⁴D was carried out by using a homemade detector, which employs a sinusoidal wave generator operating at 600 kHz frequency and 2 V_pp wave amplitude. The optimized and validated CZE-C⁴D method was applied for the determination of the studied pharmaceuticals as adulterants in phytotherapeutic formulations commercialized in Brazil for slimming purposes.     

Investigation on the structural and electrical properties of NdSrNi1−xCrxO4+δ (0.1≤x≤0.9) system

The phases NdSrNi_1−xCr_xO_4+δ (0.1≤x≤0.9) have been synthesized by modified sol-gel method and subsequent annealing at 1250 °C in 1 atm of flowing argon. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and electrical resistivity have been measured at room temperature. Rietveld refinement shows that all compositions with x>0.1 were found to crystallize in the tetragonal K₂NiF₄ type structure in the space group I4/mmm, while for x=0.1, a mixture of two phases with the tetragonal space group I4/mmm and the orthorhombic space group Fmmm. Variations of a and c parameters show a complex behavior with increasing chromium content. It was established that compounds with chromium content less then x≤0.5 are oxygen-deficient, while for x>0.5 the sample are oxygen-overstoichiometric. The NdSrNi_0.5Cr_0.5O_4+δ compound exhibits semiconductive behavior and the electrical transport mechanism agrees with the non-adiabatic small polaron hopping model in the temperature ranges 298-493, 493-573 and 573-703 K separately.
