Microwave heating was used to prepare optically active thiazole-bearing poly(amide-imide)s. Polymerization reactions were carried out in the molten tetrabutylammonium bromide as a green molten salt medium and triphenyl phosphite as the homogenizer. Structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by Fourier transform infrared and NMR spectroscopic data and elemental analysis results. The p...

Storage of electrical energy is a key technology for future climate-neutral supply with volatile photovoltaic and wind generation. Besides the well-known technologies pumped hydro, power-to-gas-to-power batteries, contribution thermal storage rather unknown. At end 2019 worldwide power generation capacity from molten salt in concentrating solar (CSP) plants was 21 GWhel. This article gives an o...

The molten-salt catalytic conversion of biomass into synthetic fuels is one the promising renewable energy topics 21st century. Mixtures Zn–Na–K//Cl have gained attention, acting as catalytically active heat transfer fluids in process, due to their low costs and principally melting points which effectively lower required operating temperature reactor. Herein, corrosion behavior three candidate ...
