Phase change materials (PCMs) are promising thermal energy storage due to their high specific latent heat. Conventional PCMs typically exploit the solid–liquid (s–l) transition. However, leakage and leaching common issues for PCMs, which have be addressed before usage in practical applications. In contrast, solid–solid (s–s) would naturally overcome these inherent form stability homogeneity. th...

Garnet Type Solid Electrolytes In article number 2203897, Venkataraman Thangadurai and co-workers report the use of an AlCl3 Lewis acid fluoroethylene carbonate dual additive based non-aqueous liquid electrolyte stabilizing garnet solid-liquid interphase, towards improved durability high critical current density for hybrid solid-state lithium metal batteries.

Sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) with a pore size of 6 nm catalyzed three component coupling of aromatic aldehydes, urea and ethyl acetoacetate to afford the corresponding dihydropyrimidinones under solvent free condition. This new protocol for Biginelli reaction has important advantages such as green synthesis, short reaction time, easy isolation and high yields of ...

Acetic acid vapor-deposited on ultrathin noncrystalline ice (NCI) and polycrystalline ice (PCI) films (less than 6 nm thick) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions has been investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy. Pristine acetic acid deposited at 123 K (on a copper support) appears as an amorphous solid, which undergoes an irreversible phase transformatio...

Isoniazid (INH) is a key antitubercular agent, which exhibits poor chemical stability in the solid state associated with hydrazide group. Cocrystallization Gentisic Acid having antioxidant activity, may produce forms improved pharmaceutical properties. The complementary nature of functional groups isoniazid and chosen coformer resulted success for cocrystal formation. Cocrystal (INH-Gentisic ac...

Background and Objectives: Canola oil is very low in saturated fatty acid (~8 %), which makes it suitable for application as dressing for salad. Canola oil is liquid, thus its application in the production of margarine and shortening is limited. The present study provides information about the effects of monoacylglycerols (MAG) as the structuring agent on physical, microstructure and rheologica...

In this work, SO3H-functionalizedphthalimide (SFP) as a SO3H-containing solid acid is prepared by the reaction of phthalimide with chlorosulfonic acid, and characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, Mass, TG, DTG, XRD and SEM. Then, it is utilized as a highly efficient, heterogeneous and green catalyst for the one-pot multi-component condensation of dime...

ÐFerron reagent and FTIR spectroscopy were used for the identi®cation and characterization of the aluminum species formed during dephosphorization of simulated wastewater with and without organic matter. Evidence from FTIR spectroscopy showed the formation of aluminum hydroxyphosphate, hydroxy-Al±tannate and aluminum complexes containing both phosphorus and tannic acid. The surface reactivity o...
