TCAQ - based polymer for electrochemically mediated separations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Redox-mediated separation systems offer the potential to efficiently desalinate water and to purify contaminated waste streams, among other health and environmental applications. A TCAQ-based polymer, unique for its two-electron redox reaction, was synthesized for use in redox-mediated separation systems, and its performance was quantified in low-concentration aqueous salt solutions. The polyvinyl ferrocene (PVF)//PTCAQ system displayed an ion adsorption capacity much higher than previously reported literature values for capacitive or redox deionization systems.

Synthesis of naturally-derived macromolecules through simplified electrochemically mediated ATRP
The flavonoid-based macroinitiator was received for the first time by the transesterification reaction of quercetin with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide. In accordance with the "grafting from" strategy, a naturally-occurring star-like polymer with a polar 3,3',4',5,6-pentahydroxyflavone core and hydrophobic poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) side arms was synthesized via a simplified electrochemically ...
متن کاملNew developments in membrane-based separations.
Recent advances in membrane-based separations include chiral separations, nanofiltration, ion-permselectivity, gas separation and pervaporation. Novel chiral separations using enzymes and chiral surfactants as carrier have been achieved using facilitated-transport membranes. Graft-copolymeric membranes have been constructed that possess pH-controlled ion selectivity, and membranes have been mad...
متن کاملA novel approach for the separation of neutral analytes by means of electrochemically assisted injection coupled to capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry.
A novel concept for capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) studies of neutral analytes is presented. The experimental approach is based on the implementation of electrochemically assisted injection (EAI) which enables the generation of charged species from neutral analytes. In this way electrophoretic separations can be performed without the use of surfactants leading to an excelle...
متن کاملElectrically addressable parallel nanowires with 30 nm spacing from micromolding and nanoskiving.
This paper describes the fabrication of arrays of parallel, electrically addressable metallic nanowires by depositing alternating layers of thin films of metal and polymer-both planar and topographically patterned-and sectioning the laminated structures with an ultramicrotome (nanoskiving). The structures that resulted from this process had two distinct regions: one in which parallel Au nanowir...
