Hydrides compounds for electrochemical applications

Complex Metal Hydrides for Hydrogen, Thermal and Electrochemical Energy Storage

Hydrogen has a very diverse chemistry and reacts with most other elements to form compounds, which have fascinating structures, compositions and properties. Complex metal hydrides are a rapidly expanding class of materials, approaching multi-functionality, in particular within the energy storage field. This review illustrates that complex metal hydrides may store hydrogen in the solid state, ac...

Nature's hydrides: rapid reduction of halocarbons by folate model compounds

Halocarbons R-X are reduced to hydrocarbons R-H by folate model compounds under biomimetic conditions. The reactions correspond to a halide-hydride exchange with the methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHF) models acting as hydride donors. The MTHF models are also functional equivalents of dehalohydrogenases but, unlike these enzymes, do not require a metal cofactor. The reactions suggest that halocarb...

Electrochemical hydroxylation of organoboron compounds.

Cathodic hydroxylation of organoboron compounds was successfully performed under an oxygen atmosphere, producing the corresponding phenol derivatives with high selectivity and efficiency.

STRUCTURAL AND IONIC CONDUCTIVITYSTUDIES ONPLASTICIZED PAN-SODIUM FLUORIDE POLYMER ELECTROLYTES FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL APPLICATIONS

Ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes based on poly acrylonitrle (PAN) complexed with different weight percent ratios of Sodium Fluoride (NaF) salt were prepared by using solution cast technique. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscope technique. From the X-rd results increase in amorphous phase with...
