in present study, molecular dynamics simulation of cadmium (ii), lead (ii) and copper (ii) removal from aqueous electrolyte solutions using the ion-exchange process with the zeolite particles was done. the results showed that, most of the particles had the highest affinity of ion exchanging with lead (ii) and the lowest affinity with copper (ii). the calculated mean ion-exchange ratios showed t...

A diabetic description of charge transfer between atoms and ionic surfaces is presented, specifically examining the F/LiF(100) and F/KI(100) systems for which experiment shows ion formation to be very efficient. Potential energy surfaces describing the energetics for these systems have been generated with a semi-empirical scheme. At the site of charge exchange, there is a curve-crossing between...

Vapor-deposited Zr-Fe multilayered thin films with various wavelengths and of overall composition either 50% Fe or Fe-rich up to 57 % Fe were either irradiated with 300 keV Kr ions at temperatures from 25K to 623 K to fluences up to 2 x 10l6 cm-2, or simply annealed at 773K in-situ in the Intermediate Voltage Electron Microscope at Argonne National Laboratory. Under irradiation, the final react...

Among the heavy metals, mercury is often considered the most toxic; moreover, current methods used to sense and quantitate mercury in the environment are expensive and labor intensive. In response, the sensor community has sought new approaches to detect and quantitate mercury. One such approach is the use of porphyrins as selective reagents for the detection of mercury. Porphyrins have shown g...

All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries using Li+-ion conducting ceramic electrolytes have been focused on as attractive future batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy conversion systems because high safety can be realized due to non-flammability of ceramic electrolytes. In addition, a higher volumetric energy density than that of current lithium-ion batteries is expected since the a...

All-solid-state Li-ion batteries based on ceramic solid electrolyte materials are a promising next-generation energy storage technology with high energy density and enhanced cycle life. The poor interfacial conductance is one of the key limitations in enabling all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. However, the origin of this poor conductance has not been understood, and there is limited knowledge a...

Halide perovskites are promising semiconductor materials for solution-processed optoelectronic devices. Their strong ionic bonding nature results in highly dynamic crystal lattices, inherently allowing rapid ion exchange at the solid-vapor and solid-liquid interface. Here, we show that the anion-exchange chemistry can be precisely controlled in single-crystalline halide perovskite nanomaterials...
