Revisiting the Ethylene Carbonate–Propylene Carbonate Mystery with Operando Characterization

Dipole-bound anions of highly polar molecules: ethylene carbonate and vinylene carbonate.

Results of experimental and theoretical studies of dipole-bound negative ions of the highly polar molecules ethylene carbonate (EC, C3H4O3, mu=5.35 D) and vinylene carbonate (VC, C3H2O3, mu=4.55 D) are presented. These negative ions are prepared in Rydberg electron transfer (RET) reactions in which rubidium (Rb) atoms, excited to ns or nd Rydberg states, collide with EC or VC molecules to produ...

The Interaction of Ethylene with Surface Carbonate and Hydroxide Intermediates on Silver

The surface chemistry of the intermediates formed from the adsorption of CO, and Hz0 on an oxygen-atom-covered Ag( 110) surface was investigated with surface spectroscopic techniques. Carbon dioxide complexed with adsorbed oxygen atoms to form a surface carbonate intermediate, and the associative adsorption of water led to the formation of surface hydroxides. COz adsorption on the oxygen atom c...

Trend in Operando Nanoscale Characterization using Scanning Probe Microscopy

2017[9] THE HITACHI SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT NEWS ー 2017 Vol.8 Fine-grain control of the structure of materials is widely regarded as a crucial technology undergirding innovation in materials science. Today, thanks to nanotechnology initiatives launched at the beginning of the 21st century, materials and device elements with a fi ne grain structure can be produced and distributed as nano-products....

Critical behavior of the banded-unbanded spherulite transition in a mixture of ethylene carbonate with polyacrylonitrile.

We investigate the transition from unbanded to banded spherulitic growth in mixtures of ethylene carbonate with polyacrylonitrile. By carefully considering systematic errors, we show that the band spacing diverges with a power-law form showing scaling over nearly two decades. We also observe that the bands disorder as the transition point is approached. The critical exponent is nonclassical. On...
