The two-step processes of Mn+ + Yn? (s: solid phase) MY(s) and MY(s) + 2X? X2MY2?(s) (n = 1, 2) at a test solution/electrode-interface were considered as a model. Here, Mn+, Yn?, and X? refer to a divalent or univalent cation, functional groups of electrode materials, and a halide ion (X? = Cl?, Br?, I?), respectively. By applying electrochemical potentials to these processes at n = 2, we derived an equation. Regression analyses based on the equation reproduced well the plots of emf versus log 2(*[M]t) for the Cd(II) and Cu(II) systems: *[M]t denotes a total concentration of species relevant to M2+ in a bulk of the aqueous solution. Also, we obtained log Ks(CdBr2) = 4.28 ? 0.22, log Ks(CdI2) = 6.98 ? 0.05, log Ks(CuCl2) = 3.96 ? 0.09, and log Ks(CuBr2) = 11.4 at 25?C. The magnitude in ?log Ks reflected that in the logarithmic solubility product, log {*[M2+](*[X?])2}, for bulk water, where *[M2+] or *[X?] denotes a molar concentration of the bulk solu-tion of M2+ or X? at equilibrium, respectively. Moreover, a mixture of CuSO4 with NaCl at the molar ratio of 1:1 yielded a plot similar to that of CuCl2.展开更多

This work evaluated pumpkin and potato peel biowastes for the adsorption of cadmium ions. The biowastes were treated with acid or base. Batch experiments were carried out by introducing a known concentration of metal ion solution into the biowaste sorbent at various pH levels. The pH and metal ion concentration was monitored with pH and cadmium ion-selective electrode continuously for two hours, and the final concentration for the metal ion after 24 hours was measured with the cadmium electrode and then confirmed with ICP-OES. L-type isotherms were obtained that fit to Freundlich model. Adsorption isotherms showed chemical adsorption and the kinetics following the second order model. Equilibrium adsorption capacity is higher than 29 mg/g at pH 5.6 when the initial concentration is 220 ppm. Dynamic cadmium adsorption capacity is 17 mg/g from aqueous solution when the feed solution is 220 ppm with pumpkin peel biowaste sorbent. The biowaste materials can be regenerated with acid washing.展开更多

This paper presented the detailed procedures of the construction of the electrode, the applications of the electrode in various experiments, and the corresponding chemical reaction principles involved. The fabricated electrode was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS), and electrochemical analyses. The electrode exhibited stable linear responses to carbonate anions(10-5--10-1 mol/L) with average Slope of the curve being -26.56 mV per decade, and showed negligible responses to NO3, SO2-, and Sal- anions. The electrode was further used to measure the concentration of carbonate anions in boiler water. The measured concentration was lower than that determined via titration. Overall, the electrode exhibited the advantages of miniaturized size, robust construction, and compatibility with other equipment and thus could be ideally integrated into various sensor platforms to collect chemical data from industrial heat exchangers.展开更多

Unlike traditional optimization algorithms such as simplex procedure, VSGSA can be used to determine the model parameters without any priori information about the analytical system under investigation and overcome the disadvantage of simplex method which might converge to local extrema depending on the starting positions. The algorithm was applied to po-tentiometric determination of ions in mixture solutions.展开更多

The experimen...The binding mechanism of the interactions of halide ions (F–, Br– and I–) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and hemoglobin (Hb) were studied at different temperatures, by using ion-selective electrodes. The experimental data were treated according to Klotz equation, and the number of binding sites and the binding constants were determined. The results show that the binding sites of F– on protein molecules are more than those of Br– and I–. Additionally, the number of the binding sites for halide ions on protein molecules increases with increasing temperature. This study also indicates that the binding constants for the interactions of halide ions with proteins gradually decrease as the size of halide ions and temperature increases. These behaviors were reasonably interpreted with the structural and thermodynamic factors. The thermodynamic functions at different temperatures were calculated with thermodynamic equations, and the enthalpy change for the interactions were also determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 298.15 K, which indicate that the interactions of halide ions with proteins are mainly electrostatic interaction.展开更多

The factors affecting the response of Ce(Ⅳ) ion were investigated, such as membrane composition, internal solution, concentration of SO_4^(2–), and acidity in test solution. The best performance was obtained using the membrane with PVC:DBP:HDEHP:HEH/EHP:OA mass ratio of 75:175:5:5:5.

The electrode showed stable response within the SO_4^(2–) concentration range of 0.1–1 mol/L and the acidity range of 0.25–1.2 mol/L H+. The proposed electrode showed high selectivity for Ce(Ⅳ) over a wide variety of interfering ions and a fast response time. It was used as an indicator in the potentiometric titration of Ce(Ⅳ) solution with H_2O_2 solution, and could also be used for the determination of Ce(Ⅳ) in real Ce(Ⅳ)-containing aqueous samples.展开更多

文摘Supercapacitors have attracted much attention in the field of electrochemical energy storage.However,material preparation,stability,performance as well as power density limit their applications in many fields.Herein,a sponge-like red phosphorus@graphene(rP@rGO)negative electrode and a Ni2P positive electrode were prepared using a simple one-step method.Both electrodes showed excellent performances(294 F g^−1 and 1526.6 F g^−1 for rP@rGO and Ni2P,respectively),which seem to be the highest among all rP@rGO-and Ni2P-based electrodes reported so far.The asymmetric solid-state supercapacitor was assembled by sandwiching a gel electrolyte-soaked cellulose paper between rP@rGO and Ni2P as the negative and positive electrodes.Compared to other asymmetric devices,the device,which attained a high operating window of up to 1.6 V,showed high energy and power density values of 41.66 and 1200 W kg−1,respectively.It also has an excellent cyclic stability up to 88%after various consecutive charge/discharge tests.Additionally,the device could power commercial light emitting diodes and fans for 30 s.So,the ease of the synthesis method and excellent performance of the prepared electrode materials mat have significant potential for energy storage applications.

文摘In order to solve the problem of large temperature difference between the center and ends of the metallic rod in the purification process of solid-state electrotransport(SSE),three types of electrode connections of tantalum and the corresponding rods of metallic lanthanum were designed,the temperature distributions of three kinds of rod were measured,and the influence of temperature difference on the purification effect of solid-state electrotransport was investigated.The results indicate that the maximum temperature difference of the rod will be significantly reduced through decreasing the cross section of electrode connection to make its unit length resistance close to that of rod,or increasing the unit length resistance of the section at both ends of the rod.When these two measures are adopted at the same time,the effect of decreasing rod temperature difference is the best in the present study,and the maximum temperature difference of the rod can be reduced to 29℃when the maximum temperature of the rod is 820℃.The migration velocity of the impurities at rod ends can be obviously improved after the rod temperature difference is reduced,which enables the purification effect and efficiency of solid-state electrotransport to be greatly raised;it is also found that the major impurities iron in metallic lanthanum migrates more easily than oxygen and carbon during the purification of metal lanthanum with solid-state electrotransport.
文摘A new all-solid-state carbonate ion-selective electrode was fabricated via electrochemical and ion-exchange reactions with Ag nanoparticles and Ag2CO3-BaCO3 as ion-to-electron transducer and ion-selective layer, respectively. This paper presented the detailed procedures of the construction of the electrode, the applications of the electrode in various experiments, and the corresponding chemical reaction principles involved. The fabricated electrode was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS), and electrochemical analyses. The electrode exhibited stable linear responses to carbonate anions(10-5--10-1 mol/L) with average Slope of the curve being -26.56 mV per decade, and showed negligible responses to NO3, SO2-, and Sal- anions. The electrode was further used to measure the concentration of carbonate anions in boiler water. The measured concentration was lower than that determined via titration. Overall, the electrode exhibited the advantages of miniaturized size, robust construction, and compatibility with other equipment and thus could be ideally integrated into various sensor platforms to collect chemical data from industrial heat exchangers.

文摘A global optimum location algorithm called Variable Step-Size Generalized Simulated Annealing(VSGSA) was applied to treating the data obtained by using an array of ion-electrodes in solutions containing mixtures of Na+, K+, Ca2+. Unlike traditional optimization algorithms such as simplex procedure, VSGSA can be used to determine the model parameters without any priori information about the analytical system under investigation and overcome the disadvantage of simplex method which might converge to local extrema depending on the starting positions. The algorithm was applied to po-tentiometric determination of ions in mixture solutions.
文摘The binding mechanism of the interactions of halide ions (F–, Br– and I–) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and hemoglobin (Hb) were studied at different temperatures, by using ion-selective electrodes. The experimental data were treated according to Klotz equation, and the number of binding sites and the binding constants were determined. The results show that the binding sites of F– on protein molecules are more than those of Br– and I–. Additionally, the number of the binding sites for halide ions on protein molecules increases with increasing temperature. This study also indicates that the binding constants for the interactions of halide ions with proteins gradually decrease as the size of halide ions and temperature increases. These behaviors were reasonably interpreted with the structural and thermodynamic factors. The thermodynamic functions at different temperatures were calculated with thermodynamic equations, and the enthalpy change for the interactions were also determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 298.15 K, which indicate that the interactions of halide ions with proteins are mainly electrostatic interaction.

文摘The analytical performance of H+-selective solid-contact ion-selective electrodes(SCISEs)based on solid contact polyaniline doped with chloride(PANI(Cl))and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)doped with poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT(PSS))was characterized by a developed coulometric signal transduction method.PEDOT(PSS)solid contact is covered by PVC based H+-selective membrane.The obtained coulometric signal demonstrates that the cumulated charge can be amplified by increasing the capacitance of solid contact.SCISEs covered with spin-coated membrane behave faster amperometric response than electrodes with drop-cast mem-brane.In contrast to earlier works,the amperometric response and impedance spectrum demonstrates H+transfer through SCISEs is independent from the thickness of membrane.The exceptional behavior of PANI(Cl)H+-SCISEs shows that the capacitance estimated from impedance spectrum at low frequency 10 mHz and coulometric signal of PANI(Cl)based SCISEs is influenced by the applied po-tentials,whereas PEDOT(PSS)solid contact is independent from the chosen applied potentials.Furthermore,preliminary investiga-tions of coulometric signal transduction on flexible pH sensor implies its potential applications in wearable sensors for sweat ion concentration detection.

文摘This review addresses the growing interest for potassium-ion full-cells(KIFCs)in view of the transition from potassium-ion half-cells(KIHCs)toward commercial K-ion batteries(KIBs).It focuses on the key parameters of KIFCs such as the electrode/electrolyte interfaces challenge,major barriers,and recent advancements in KIFCs.The strategies for enhancing KIFC performance,including interfaces co ntrol,electrolyte optimization,electrodes capacity ratio,electrode material screening and electrode design,are discussed.The review highlights the need to evaluate KIBs in full-cell configurations as half-cell results are strongly impacted by the K metal reactivity.It also emphasizes the importance of understanding solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)formation in KIFCs and explores promising nonaqueous as well as quasiand all-solid-state electrolytes options.This review thus paves the way for practical,cost-effective,and scalable KIBs as energy storage systems by offering insights and guidance for future research.

文摘Organic electrode materials are promising for batteries.However,the reported organic electrodes are often facing the challenges of low specific capacity,low voltage,poor rate capability and vague charge storage mechanisms,etc.Isomers are good platform to investigate the charge storage mechanisms and enhance the performance of batteries,which,however,have not been focused in batteries.Herein,two isomers are reported for batteries.As a result,the isomer tetrathiafulvalene(TTF)could store two monovalent anions reversibly,deriving an average discharge voltage of 1.05 V and a specific capacity of 220 mAh g−1 at a current density of 2 C.On the other hand,the other isomer tetrathianaphthalene could only reversibly store one monovalent anion and upon further oxidation,it would undergo an irreversible solid-state molecular rearrangement to TTF.The molecular rearrangement was confirmed by electrochemical performances,X-ray diffraction patterns,nuclear magnetic resonance spectra,and 1H detected heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectra.These results suggested the small structural change could lead to a big difference in anion storage,and we hope this work will stimulate more attention to the structural design for boosting the performance of organic batteries.
文摘Two novel 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(3-phenylthiapropoxy)-calixarene (3) and 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(3-phenylthia-propoxy)-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butylcalixarene (4) were synthesized for the evaluation of their ion-selectivity in ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). ISEs based on 3 and 4 as neutral ionophores were prepared, and their selectivity coefficients for Ag + (lg K pot Ag,M) were investigated against other alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal, aluminum, thallium (I), lead and some transition metal ions using the separate solution method (SSM). These ISEs showed excellent Ag + selectivity over most of the interfering cations examined, except for Hg 2+ and Fe 2+ having relative smaller interference (lg K pot Ag,M≤-2.1).

文摘Ion-selective electrode(ISE)is a quick and low-cost method of soil nitrate nitrogen(N)detection.The measurement models of soil nitrate-N based on ISEs includes the linear regression model,multiple linear regression model and BP neural network model,and so on.Three models were analyzed in theory,measurement experiments of validation samples and soil nitrate-N concentrations were carried out in this study,and the measurement accuracies of the three models were compared.The results showed that,in the measurement experiments of validation samples and soil nitrate-N concentrations,BP neural network model had the highest accuracy(the average relative errors between results of the BP neural network model and the reference values were 5.07%and 8.81%,respectively)among the three models,multiple linear regression model had the second highest accuracy(the average relative errors between results of the multiple linear regression model and the reference values were 7.70%and 10.51%,respectively),linear regression model couldn’t exclude the interference of chloride ions so that it had the lowest accuracy(the average relative errors between results of the linear regression model and the reference values were 11.16%and 12.28%,respectively)among the three models.The BP neural network model can effectively restrain the interference of chloride ions,and it has a high accuracy for the measurement of soil nitrate-N concentration,so that the BP neural network model can be used to measure soil nitrate-N concentration accurately.

文摘A novel Ce(Ⅳ) ion-selective polyvinyl chloride(PVC) membrane electrode based on HDEHP and HEH/EHP as ionophore was successfully prepared. The factors affecting the response of Ce(Ⅳ) ion were investigated, such as membrane composition, internal solution, concentration of SO_4^(2–), and acidity in test solution. The best performance was obtained using the membrane with PVC:DBP:HDEHP:HEH/EHP:OA mass ratio of 75:175:5:5:5. The proposed electrode exhibited a Nernstian slope of 30.44 mV/decade for Ce(Ⅳ) ion over a linear concentration range of 1×10^(–5)–1×10^(–1) mol/L with the detection limit of 9.0×10^(-6) mol/L. The electrode showed stable response within the SO_4^(2–) concentration range of 0.1–1 mol/L and the acidity range of 0.25–1.2 mol/L H+. The proposed electrode showed high selectivity for Ce(Ⅳ) over a wide variety of interfering ions and a fast response time. It was used as an indicator in the potentiometric titration of Ce(Ⅳ) solution with H_2O_2 solution, and could also be used for the determination of Ce(Ⅳ) in real Ce(Ⅳ)-containing aqueous samples.
