Transport properties of MF-4SС membranes doped by sulfonated zirconia
Russian Journal of Electrochemistry. 2019. Vol. 55. P. 1292–1298.
Composite materials based on homogeneous perfluorinated cation exchange membranes MF-4SK and sulfonated zirconium oxide were obtained by in situ and casting methods and their transport properties and gas permeability were studied. With the introduction of sulfonated zirconia, the conductivity of in situ and casting membranes increases at room temperature by more than 1.5 and 4 times, respectively. The anion transfer numbers characterizing the undesirable anion transfer for composite membranes obtained by the in situ and casting methods decrease by more than 1.5 times (from 0.026 to 0.020 and from 0.020 to 0.014, respectively). For samples based on MF-4SK membranes and zirconium oxide, a significant (more than 3 times) decrease in hydrogen permeability was noted. The differences in the observed values of moisture content, conductivity and mutual diffusion of the obtained composite membranes are discussed.

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have emerged as promising materials for next-generation light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their solution processability, tunable emission wavelengths, narrow emission linewidths, and high photoluminescence quantum yields. Among them, anisotropic nanocrystals, including one-dimensional nanorods (NRs) and two-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs), offer additional opportunities for controlling transition dipole moment orientation and light out-coupling efficiency. These ...

The use of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as extractants for metal ion separation is largely due to the ease of their preparation and the possibility of modifying them depending on the composition of the metal mixture to be separated. However, the most common approach to DES modification involves the replacement of the extractant, while ...

Two voluminous polymer silver(I) salts of perchlorinated dodecoborate clusters, {[(Me2CO)Ag(μ-Me2CO)2Ag(Me2CO)][μ-B12Cl12]}n (1) and {[DMFAg(μ-DMF)2AgDMF][μ-B12Cl12]}n (2) were synthesized. The 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy supplemented with the X-ray diffraction data was applied for identifying and analyzing noncovalent interactions Cl···X in these salts. Whereas in X-ray diffraction, noncovalent interactions are associated with the presence of the shortened ...

Despite the well-established importance of chalcogen bonding in crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry, experimental charge density data for TeII-centered chalcogen bonds have remained entirely absent, leaving the electronic nature of these interactions uncharacterized at the level of directly measured electron density. Here, we report the first high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) study of TeII-centered chalcogen bonds, ...

Off-stoichiometric boron-doped chemically complex intermetallic alloys (CCIMAs) have recently emerged as a new avenue for overcoming the low temperature brittleness of ordered superlattices. However, their behavior at high temperatures remains unexplored. In this study, a novel (Ni39.6Co29.3Cr10Al15.8Ta3.3Nb2)98.5B1.5 CCIMA was prepared and its oxidation resistance over a wide temperature range (500 °C–950 °C) was studied. The ...

Miniaturization of edge-emitting quantum-dot lasers is hampered by increased mirror losses in ultra-short Fabry–Perot cavities and limited modal gain of quantum dots (QDs). Here, we demonstrate electrically injected InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot stripe lasers with an 8-lm stripe width and focused-ion-beam (FIB)-etched mirrors defining cavity lengths from 300 to 77 lm. The laser cavities were fabricated using ...

We report a high-performance implementation of the resolution-of-the-identity Hartree–Fock method that fully exploits the permutational symmetry of three-center electron repulsion integrals (ERI). The present implementation adopts a hybrid MPI+OpenMP parallelization strategy. Two different algorithmic approaches (with and without the pre-transformation of ERIs) are compared. A custom data layout introduced previously is employed. Designed to efficiently ...

We develop a three-mode statistical-mechanical theory for a two-conformer
solute in a near-critical solvent. A compressible lattice model with
vacancies yields the Gaussian free-energy functional for a critical conserved
density, an orthogonal noncritical conserved mode, and the local conformer
fraction. Their couplings follow from packing and cohesive interactions,
rather than being introduced phenomenologically. Kawasaki transport of the
two conserved fields and ...

Colloidal semiconductor nanorods (NRs) are promising room-temperature single-photon sources because of their
solution processability, tunable optical properties, and intrinsically linearly polarized emission. However, simultaneously achieving high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), strong polarization, and high-purity single-photon emission remains challenging in conventional binary-shell NRs due to the competing requirements of
exciton confinement and core/shell lattice−strain management. Here, we report CdSe/CdZnS gradient alloy core/shell NRs with tunable ...

A new approach to managing the extraction properties of eutectic solvents based on aliphatic alcohols is proposed. Aliphatic alcohols, when functioning as hydrogen bond donors within a eutectic solvent, significantly enhance the solvent’s efficiency in extracting metal ions.
