introduction: lithium salts are known as effective psychotropic medicine for treatment bipolar disorder and may be used to treat alcoholism, schizoaffective disorders, and cluster headaches. the antioxidant activity and immunomodulatory effects of prospective lithium compounds have been investigated in this work. materials and methods: the antioxidant properties were studied by the voltammetry ...

Though many studies examined the properties of the class of IIIA-VIA and IVA-VIA layered materials, few have delved into the electrochemical aspect of such materials. In light of the burgeoning interest in layered structures towards various electrocatalytic applications, we endeavored to study the inherent electrochemical properties of representative layered materials of this class, GaSe and Ge...

Three alkoxy-wrapped push-pull porphyrins were designed and synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. Spectral, electrochemical, photovoltaic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy properties of these porphyrin sensitizers were well investigated to provide evidence for the molecular design.

Graphene quantum dots, GQDs, have been synthesized using two strategies: electrochemical (E) and wet chemical (W) methods. A simple, industrially up-scalable, two-electrode electrochemical setup, starting from graphite and a one-pot wet chemical synthesis, modified from reference [1] were used to produce GQDs. Filtration, centrifugation, concentration and dialysis were used to purify the obtain...

In this paper, polymer-based nanocomposites powder were applied on the surface of plain carbon steel by electrostatic device and then were cured by microwave. The effect of adding nanoparticles on the corrosion resistance properties of the coatings was investigated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and immersion test in 3.5 NaCl solution. Coatings structure and morphology of nanoparticl...

A  new  type  of  cation-exchange  nanocomposite  membranes  was prepared  by  in-situ  formation  of  ZnO  nanoparticles  in  a  blend containing  sulfonated  poly  (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene  oxide)  and sulfonated polyvinylchloride  via  a  simple  one-step  chemical method.  As-synthesized  nanocomposite  membranes were characterized  using  Fourier  transform  infrared  spectroscopy, scan...

silver nanoparticles have proved to possess significant antibacterial properties. nanosilver produced by electrochemical reduction stabilized by cellulose derivatives, has been evaluated by european standards (cen tc 216) in order to find out whether they could be applied in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas as a suitable disinfectant. moreover, bactericidal activity of nanosil...

this work is aimed to evaluate the role of nanoclay in the protective performance of an eco-friendly silane sol-gel layer applied on mild steel substrate in 0.1m sodium chloride solution. at the first step, the effect of ph of the silane solution, consisting of a mixture of γ-glycidoxypropiltrimethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, on the coating performance was evaluate...

A novel class of micro-electrodes was fabricated by synthesizing high density carbon nanotube islands on lithographically defined, passivated titanium nitride conductors on a silicon dioxide substrate. Electrochemical characterization in phosphate buffered saline of these new electrodes reveals superb electrochemical properties marked by featureless rectangular cyclic voltammetry curves corresp...
