A poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane sensor for holmium ions was fabricated based on N-[(Z)-l-(2-thienyl)- methylidene]-N-[4-(4-{[(Z)-l-(2-thienyl)methylidene]amino} phenoxy)phenyl] amine (TPA) as a n...A poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane sensor for holmium ions was fabricated based on N-[(Z)-l-(2-thienyl)- methylidene]-N-[4-(4-{[(Z)-l-(2-thienyl)methylidene]amino} phenoxy)phenyl] amine (TPA) as a new ion carrier, acetophenon (AP) as plasticizing solvent mediator and sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTPB) as an anion excluder. The electrode shows a good selectivity towards Ho^3+ ions respect to other inorganic cations, including alkali, alka- line earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The constructed sensor displays a Nernstian behavior (19.5±0.3 mV/decade) over the concentration range of 1.0× 10^-6 to 1.0 ×10^- 2 mol·L^-1 with the detection limit of the electrode being 4.6)〈 10-7 mol·L^-1 and very short response time (ca. 5 s). It has a useful working pH range of 3.2-9.8 for at least 8 weeks. The electrode was successfully applied as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of a Ho^3+ solution with EDTA and holmium determination in some alloys. The proposed sensor accuracy was studied by the determination of Ho^3+ in mixtures of three different ions.展开更多

The synthesized phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The excitation and photoluminescence spectra, afterglow spectra and afterglow decay curve were examined by fluorescence spectroscopy. The afterglow spectra of Gd2O2S∶Er3+, Mg, Ti showed typical transitions of Er3+ at 528 (2H11/2 → 4I15/2),548 (4S3/2 → 4I15/2) and 669 nm (4F9/2 → 4I15/2). In the afterglow spectra of Gd2O2S∶ Ho3+, Mg, Ti, typical transitions of Ho3+ at 546 nm (5S2 → 5I8), 651 and 661 nm (5F5 → 5I8) were observed. In Gd2O2S∶Tm3+, Mg, Ti, the afterglow emission at 800 nm (1G4 → 3H5) of Tm3+ was seen. The mechnism and model of afterglow energy transfer were proposed.展开更多

The physical properties of the synthesized samples were investigated using differential thermal analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and electrochemical methods. XRD showed that LiMn204 and LiZnxHoyMn2_x y04 have high degrees of crystallinity and good phase purities. The SEM images of LiMn204 showed an ice-cube morphology with particles of size 1 μm. Charge-discharge studies showed that undoped LiMn2 O4 delivered the discharge capacity of 124 mA h/g with coulombic efficiency of 95% during the first cycle, whereas doped spinels delivered discharge capacities of 125, 120, and 127 mA h/g in the first cycle with coulombic efficiencies of 96%, 91%, and 91%, respectively.展开更多
