The title compound, C(7)H(10)NO(+)·NO(3) (-), crystallized with two p-ansidinium cations and two nitrate anions in the asymmetric unit. As well as Columbic and van der Waals forces, moleucles inter-act via multiple bifurcated N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds that help consolidate the crystal packing, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

Metallic zinc is a promising negative electrode for high energy rechargeable batteries due to its abundance, low-cost and non-toxic nature. However, the formation of dendritic zinc and low Columbic efficiency in aqueous alkaline solutions during charge/discharge processes remain a great challenge. Here we demonstrate that the dendritic growth of zinc can be effectively suppressed in an ionic li...

In comparison to the transportation and storage of hydrogen, methane has advantages in the practical application, while the emerging product termed as 'biohythane' could be an alternative to pure hydrogen or methane in a new form of energy recovery from microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). However, the cathodic catalyst even for biohythane still bothers the performance and cost of total MEC. Here...

The influence of benzoate anions on the corrosion inhibition effect of benzotriazole (BTA) for mild steel in sulfuric acid has been investigated. The investigation was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The addition of benzoate ions greatly enhances the inhibition efficiency of BTA in a synergistic manner. This effect has bee...

Petroleum industries are large water consumers and generate a lot of wastewater at various stages industrial operations. Wastewater from the petroleum contain recalcitrant pollutants such as hydrocarbons that present in high concentrations, dissolved solids sulfur compounds can pose potential environmental threat. Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) known to be sustainable processes treat kinds w...

Microbial electrosynthesis, an artificial form of photosynthesis, can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into organic commodities; however, this process has only previously been demonstrated in reactors that have features likely to be a barrier to scale-up. Therefore, the possibility of simplifying reactor design by both eliminating potentiostatic control of the cathode and removing the membran...

Renewable energies will represent an increasing share of the electricity supply, while flue and gasification-derived gases can be a promising CO2 feedstock with heat load. In this study, microbial electrosynthesis organic compounds from at high temperature was proposed as alternative for valorising energy surplus decarbonizing economy. The unremitting fluctuation renewable sources assessed usin...

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is an emerging digital logic representation techniques and one of the possible alternatives to Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. It satisfies attractive circuit components of smaller size and low power dissipation of new circuit design technologies. Quantum dots are nano architecture and it works based on columbic interaction between ...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most promising materials applied in Li-ion batteries. In this research, ZnO was synthesized by thermal decomposition zinc oxalate dihydrate. This precursor obtained from precipitation process sulfate with oxalic acid. In-depth studies were carried out on effect various heating temperatures dihydrate precursors synthesis. The as-prepared characterized XRD, SEM, and...
