Since the discovery of fast ionic conductivity in glasses, there has been a large interest in explaining the diffusion mechanism. With this knowledge one may be able to design new glasses with optimized properties for various applications. It is well known that the ionic conductivity increases rapidly when a network glassformer is modified by the addition of a metal alkali. Despite considerable...

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a nontraditional manufacturing process that can machine difficult-to-cut materials. In ECM, material is removed by controlled electrochemical dissolution of an anodic workpiece in an electrochemical cell. ECM has extensive applications in automotive, petroleum, aerospace, textile, medical, and electronics industries. Improving current efficiency is a challengi...

Molecular dynamics simulations of supercritical electrolyte solutions with three different ion–water models are performed to study the anion–cation potential of mean force of an infinitely dilute aqueous NaCl solution in the vicinity of the solvent’s critical point. The association constant for the ion pair Na/Cl and the constant of equilibrium between the solvent-separated and the contact ion ...

The ability of surface complexation models (SCMs) to fit sets of titration data as a function of changes in model parameters was evaluated using FITEQL and acid-base titration data of a-FeOOH, a-AlzO3, and TiO2. Three SCMs were evaluated: the triple-layer model (TLM), the constant capacitance model (CCM), and the diffuse-layer model (DLM). For all models evaluated, increasing the model input va...

Keith Promislow† Department of Mathematics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI Abstract Differential capacitance (DC) data has been widely used to characterize the structure of electrolyte solutions near charged interfaces and as experimental validation of models for electrolyte structure. Fixing a large class of models of electrolyte free energy that incorporate finite volume effects,...

The paper contains an extended historical overview of research activities focused on determining interfacial potential and charge of dispersed particles from electrophoretic and coagulation dynamic measurements. Particular attention is paid to nano-suspensions for which application of Standard Electrokinetic Model (SEM) to analysis of experimental data encounters difficulties, especially, when ...

Electrolyte disorders have been individually associated with mortality in small populations of dogs and cats with specific conditions, but the associations and interactions between electrolyte disturbances and outcome have not been evaluated in a large, heterogeneous population. It was hypothesized that abnormalities of sodium, chloride, potassium, and calcium concentrations would be independen...

The self-discharge of hybrid electrochemical capacitors based on the redox activity of electrolyte additives or grafted species to the electrode material is investigated simultaneously for the cell and each individual electrode. Electrochemical capacitors using a redox-active electrolyte consisting in hydroquinone added to the electrolyte solution and a redox-active electrode based on anthraqui...
