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.

Pyruvylation is one of the immunochemically relevant modifications of O-antigens in bacterial and fungal cells. Therefore, fast and relatively simple analytical methods for identifying this modification are highly demanded. 13C NMR spectroscopy is the best candidate for this purpose, but its successful application requires using reference structures and reliable databases. In this work, we collected ...

A convenient, stable, and non-toxic substance, tetrabutylammonium difluorotriphenylsilicate (TBAT), can be used as an organocatalyst in all stages of polymer lifetime: synthesis, modification, and recycling. The fluorine-containing initiator showed high activity in the polymerization of siloxanes compared to classic organocatalytic systems. Using kinetically controlled ROP, a high-molecular-weight PDMS (Mn up to 820 𝑘𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙) was prepared at room ...

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. Conversely, when the alcohol acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor, its extraction properties diminish. Molecular modelling reveals ...
