This protocol describes the dynamic measurement of chloride ions using the transition time of a silver silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrode. Silver silver chloride electrode is used extensively for potentiometric measurement of chloride ions concentration in electrolyte. In this measurement, long-term and continuous monitoring is limited due to the inherent drift and the requirement of a stable ...

Abstraction of chloride anion from Au(I) complexes such as JohnPhosAuCl in noncoordinating solvents with 1 equiv of a silver salt, or even larger amounts, leads to the formation of chloride-bridged dinuclear gold(I) complexes, irrespective of the counteranion, which are substantially less reactive as catalysts. This incomplete removal of chloride ligand could lead to false negative results when...

Background: Wound healing is a complicated process involving the proliferation of the epithelial cells, deposition of granulation tissue as well as recruitment of inflammatory cells. It also is a hot topic of research for trauma, orthopedics and general surgery studies. There are many forms of cells involved in this process. This study aimed to design a tissue-engineered wound dressing consisti...

Here, we report for the first time on the successful fabrication of monodispersed silver nanocubes with regular shape and controlled size in the solid phase via a novel ion-exchange self-assembly technique by using water-soluble poly(amic acid) salt as the intermediate and silver nitrate as the metal precursor. By simply altering the annealing times at high temperature, the size of the silver n...

Porous silicon (PS) can be used as a loading template in sensing or matrix to develop nanoparticle arrays. We present comprehensive study of PS morphology and optical properties before after the pore opening process, including determination thickness, size, density layers, its surface wettability, reflectivity. The samples were fabricated by electrochemical anodization monocrystalline wafer 5–2...

in this article, preparation of polypyrrole and its nanocomposites as adsorbents werediscussed and the capability of separation of copper ions from aqueous solution were studied.polypyrrole was prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization method of pyrrole usingfecl3 as an oxidant. the removal of cu (ii) was investigated using ppy, ppy/tio2 andppy/tio2/dhsna nanocomposites. the products were i...

The major industrial use of silver is as silver halide in the manufacture of photographic film. In 1983, approximately 44% of silver was used in the manufacturing of chemicals for photographic products in the USA. Other industrial uses of silver include the production of electrical contacts and switching gear, batteries, catalysts and mirrors. It has also been used for jewelry, coins and indeli...

Size separation of silver nanoparticles was investigated in counter-current chromatography (CCC) based on a unique step-gradient extraction process. Carboxylate anions were modified on silver nanoparticles to produce water-dispersible nanoparticles. The aqueous nanoparticles were readily transferred to the organic phase (toluene/hexane = 1:1, v/v) together with the phase transfer catalyst, tetr...

a new category of hybrid organic-inorganic zirconium phosphonate, zr[(o3pch2)2nc6h4co2h].2h2o was synthesized and the applicability of the prepared sorbent as an ion-exchanger for removal of ni2+, cu2+ and zn2+ from aqueous solutions was evaluated. the characterization of the synthesis product was done using tg-dtg, sem, xrd, ft-ir techniques. study of the sorption isotherms and its kinetic par...
