Ion-Selective Electrodes Prepared with Polyaniline Membranes

Polyaniline is a conductive polymer that has electrochemical activity. For this reason, it has many different uses in electrochemical area. In this study, polyaniline was prepared by electrochemical oxidation of aniline in concentrated H₂SO₄ and HCl solutions. Then, membranes were obtained from a mixture of these polymers and paraffin at a weight ratio of 50%. Ion-selective electrodes were prepared with these membranes and AgCl/Ag electrodes. Properties of prepared membranes were investigated with potentiometric measurements made in HCl, KCl, H₂SO₄, and HClO₄ solutions of different concentrations. The E–logc plots obtained with these ion-selective electrodes were found to be linear in a distinct concentration range. Their slopes depend on the membrane type and the doping ion in the test solution. The difference between these membranes was explained according to the morphological structures of polyaniline membranes.     

Cation-Response Mechanism of Neutral Carrier Based Ion-Selective Electrode Membranes

Results of voltammetric, potentiometric, chronoamperometric, ion transport, and extraction studies on neutral carrier based, plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membranes are summarized. They unambiguously confirm that such bulk membranes dispose of immobile anionic sites. These fixed sites lead to a Donnan exclusion of other anions from the membrane and thus to a permselectivity for cations. The results are in perfect agreement with the predictions of earlier membrane models. A rigorous Poisson-Boltzmann analysis of macroscopic liquid membranes clearly indicates that space-charge at the membrane/solution interfaces does not influence the electrochemical properties and the ion-selectivity behavior at steady state.

Nanostructured Proton-Conducting Membranes for Fuel Cell Applications

Summary: Composite polymer membranes based on sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) (SPSU) containing benzimidazole derivatives (BIzD) and heteropolyacid for use in fuel cells were prepared. The effects of both the increment in BBIzD component and the procedure of mixing on the morphology and proton conductivity were investigated. The heteropolyacid (HPA) extracted in water decreased with the addition of BBIzD in the composite. The interactions developed among the sulfonate groups, the benzimidazole derivatives and the HPA were verified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The network of interactions established in the composite membrane based on SPSU containing benzimidazole derivatives and phosphotungstic acid (HPW) in the ratio of SPSU/BBIzC₄(8:1) in equivalents and SPSU/HPW(7:3) in mass resulted in a very high proton conductivity at 110 °C.

Preparation of stable MCM-48 tubular membranes

Stable mesoporous membranes with a cubic structure, based on the MCM-48 material, were successfully prepared on alumina supports by hydrothermal synthesis, starting from sols having both CTABr and TPAOH structure directing agents. The inclusion of a zeolite (MFI-type) precursor during membrane synthesis led to partial zeolite incorporation into the porous structure, giving rise to a hydrothermally stable membrane. The mean pore diameter of the membrane was 2.5 nm, and permeation experiments confirmed that transport across the membrane was governed by Knudsen diffusion and that there were no pinholes.

Assisted Electromigration of Bipolar Ions through Ion-Selective Membranes in Glycine Solutions

At current densities above the limiting diffusion currents in electromembrane systems, bipolar ions of amino acids react with protons or hydroxyl ions that form during irreversible dissociation of water molecules at membrane–solution interfaces, convert into cations or anions, and then, after a gradient of electric potential is imposed on the system, migrate through cation-selective or anion-selective membranes (assisted electromigration). This phenomenon makes it possible to effectively separate solutions containing bipolar ions and nonelectrolyte molecules using electrodialysis with alternate cation-exchange and anion-exchange membranes.     

Inorganic Salts Trapped in Neutral Carrier Ion-Selective Electrode Membranes form Ion-Exchange Sites

Abstract

Deliberately added hydrophilic salt contaminations behave as ion-exchange sites in the plasticized PVC membrane of a neutral carrier ion-selective electrode. The added salt does not influence the potenticmetric performance of the membrane. Since the membrane without added salt is itself an ion-exchanger, its ion-exchange capacity may be linked to ionizable hydrophilic impurities.

Synthesis and characterization of MCM-48 tubular membranes

MCM-48 membranes have been prepared on alumina supports of different pore sizes. A battery of characterization techniques has been used to study the physical properties and the quality of the membranes prepared. The highest quality membranes were prepared on supports with pore size of up to 60 nm. The MCM-48 membranes were tested in the separation of gas phase mixtures and a cyclohexane/O₂ selectivity higher than 270 was obtained. The selective separation of organic compounds from inert components is a result of the cooperative effects of capillary condensation in MCM-48 pores and of the specific interactions of the permeating compounds and the membrane material.

X-ray diffraction structure analysis of MCM-48 mesoporous silica

The structure of MCM-48 mesoporous silicate materials has been fully characterized from X-ray diffraction data by applying recently developed methods of mesostructure analysis and full-profile refinement. The pore wall thickness of both as-made and calcined MCM-48 was determined with high precision to be 8.0(1) Angstrom. No regular variations of the wall thickness were detected, but its density was found to be ca. 10% higher in the low-curvature regions. The surfactant density in the pores was assessed around 0.6-0.7 g/cm(3) and was found to have a distinct minimum in the pore center similar to that detected previously in MCM-41. A new extended model function of the density distribution in MCM-48 is proposed on the basis of the structural features that were revealed.     

Dielectric properties and Fourier transform IR analysis of MCM-48, Al-MCM-48 and Ti-MCM-48 mesoporous materials

 Broad-band dielectric spectroscopy was used to investigate the dielectric properties of the meso- porous materials MCM-48, Al-MCM-48 and Ti-MCM-48. The samples were examined in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 1 MHz and in the temperature range from −100 to 250 °C. The dielectric relaxation of the materials has a complex nonexponential behavior with some common features for all the samples. The dielectric spectroscopy and Fourier transform IR measurements identified the relaxation process related to percolation of H⁺ ions associated with silanol groups and water adsorbed in the materials. The non-Debye behavior of the macroscopic dipole correlation functions related to the percolation process allowed us to extract the fractal dimensions of the paths of excitation transfer within the porous medium, and the porosity of each sample was estimated.

Gas adsorption in mesoporous micelle-templated silicas: MCM-41, MCM-48, and SBA-15

This paper reports a molecular simulation and experimental study on the adsorption and condensation of simple fluids in mesoporous micelle-templated silicas MCM-41, MCM-48, and SBA-15. MCM-41 is described as a regular cylindrical silica nanopore, while SBA-15 is assumed to be made up of cylindrical nanopores that are connected through lateral channels. The 3D-connected topology of MCM-48 is described using a gyroid periodic minimal surface. Argon adsorption at 77 K is calculated for the three materials using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Qualitative comparison with experiments for nitrogen adsorption in mesoporous micelle-templated silicas is made. The adsorption isotherm for SBA-15 resembles that for MCM-41. In particular, capillary condensation and evaporation are not affected by the presence of the connecting lateral channels. In contrast, the argon adsorption isotherm for MCM-48 departs from that for MCM-41 having the same pore size. While condensation in MCM-41 is a one-step process, filling of MCM-48 involves two successive jumps in the adsorbed amounts which correspond to condensation in different domains of the porosity. The condensation pressure for MCM-48 is larger than that for MCM-41. We attribute this result to the morphology of the MCM-48 surface (made up of both concave and convex regions) that differs from that for MCM-41 (concave only). Our results suggest that the pore connectivity affects pore filling when the size of the connections is comparable to that of the nanopores.

MCM-48介孔材料相转化合成的形成机制
