In electroanalytical measurements, nanoporous glass plugs are widely used to contain the electrolyte solution that forms a salt bridge between the sample and the reference electrode. Even though reference electrodes with plugs made of nanoporous glass (such as Vycor or CoralPor glass) are commercially available and are frequently used, the limits of their use have not been explored thoroughly. ...

We present a theoretical and experimental study of analyte preconcentration via peak mode isotachophoresis (ITP). We perform perturbation analysis of the governing equations that includes electromigration, diffusion, buffer reactions, and nonlinear ionic strength effects. This analysis relaxes the inherent numerical stiffness and achieves a fast solution to the transient sample evolution proble...

-Clay/electrolyte systems are best characterized using a new variable, notional interfacial content (NIC). The NIC approach emphasizes that any division of the total amount of a species present in a clay/ electrolyte system into that part which 'belongs' to the clay and that part which 'belongs' to solution is necessarily arbitrary. It carries out this division by choosing one of the species as...

The initial formation cycles are critical to the performance of a lithium-ion battery (LIB), particularly in case silicon anodes, where high surface area and extreme volume expansion during cycling make susceptible detrimental side reactions with electrolyte. solid electrolyte interface (SEI) that is formed these serves protect anode from continued reaction electrolyte, its composition reflects...

An understanding of the fluid and electrolyte transport properties of any epithelium requires knowledge of the direction, rate, and regulation of fluid transport and the composition of the fluid. Although human airway epithelial likely play a key role in controlling the quantity and composition of the respiratory tract fluid, evidence for such a role is not available. To obtain such knowledge, ...

Nanostructure composites Ge-Co-P with brutto-composition CoGe2P0.1, or CoGe2@GeP were manufactured via electrolysis of aqueous electrolyte. Such are able to reversible insertion lithium and sodium specific capacities up 855 425 mAh/g, respectively. The main advantage the consists in their excellent cycleability.

A stable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is of crucial essence for realization lithium (Li) metal batteries. This article provides an overview attempts undertaken to understand the nature natural SEI, including growth behavior at open circuit potential and under cycling conditions as well underlying causes instabilities. Additionally, influence features such morphology composition SEI electr...

The Cover Feature illustrates the wide temperature range for electrochemical capacitor operating with deep eutectic solvents (DES) as electrolytes. Right DES composition allows electrolyte of satisfactory and thermal stability to be obtained. More information can found in Article by A. Mackowiak et al.

there is no doubt that breast-feeding is the best and safest way of feeding infants. physiological weight loss occurs in the first two or three days of life, and the achievement of birth weight is expected towards the end of the first week. hypernatremic dehydration may occur in exclusively breast-fed infants if milk supply is low during these first few days. it is not because of the high sodiu...

Surface-bound layers of poly(L-glutamic acid) prepared by a recently described "grafting-from" method were analyzed with respect to electrical charging and structural alterations upon variation of pH and concentration of the background electrolyte in aqueous solutions. The microslit electrokinetic setup (MES) was utilized for the combined determination of zeta potential and surface conductivity...
