Two heteroditopic monomers, namely a thiopropyl-functionalized tetrathiafulvalene-annulated calix[4]pyrrole (SPr-TTF-C[4]P 1) and phenyl C61 butyric acid (PCBA 2), have been used to assemble a chemically and electrochemically responsive supramolecular ensemble. Addition of an organic base initiates self-assembly of the monomers via a molecular switching event. This results in the formation of materials that may be disaggregated via the addition of an organic acid or electrolysis.

We describe a voltammetric and spectroscopic study of Mg electrodeposition/dissolution (MgDep/Dis) in borohydride diglyme electrolyte solution containing Li(+) carried out on a Pt ultramicroelectrode (UME, r = 5 μm). The data reveal Li(+) cation facilitation that has not been previously recognized in studies made using macroelectrodes. While a single broad, asymmetric stripping peak is expected following MgDep on a Pt macroelectrode in 0.1 M Mg(BH4)2 + 1.5 M LiBH4 diglyme solution on a Pt UME, t

Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (CV) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) were used to investigate the reduction of Sn(IV) as the hexabromo complex ion in a 2 M HBr-4 M NaBr medium. CV at scan rates to 100 V/s and SECM indicated the reaction pathway involves ligand-coupled electron transfer via an ECEC-DISP process: (1) one-electron reduction of Sn(IV)Br6(2-) to Sn(III)Br6(3-); (2) bromide dissociation of the reduced Sn(III)Br6(3-) to Sn(III)Br5(2-); (3) disproportionation of the reduced

Electrodes of different morphology, i.e., nanospheres (NSs) and nanorods (NRs), made by chemically depositing indium oxide on indium-tin oxide substrates were investigated for their electrochemical supercapacitive properties. The presence of nanosized pores and voids in electrode of NRs caused increase in redox reaction active sites, and ultimately, inner and outer charges than that of NSs electrode. Due to the combined effect of double-layer and pseudocapacitance, the specific capacitance of el

The Br – /Br 2 redox couple in aqueous solution has been often employed for redox flow batteries along with N -methyl- N -ethyl pyrrolidinium bromide (MEPBr) as a bromine-complexing agent, which forms insoluble organic droplets of MEPBr 3 complexes during electro-oxidation of Br – . We, for the first time, report the electrochemistry of Br – electro-oxidation in electrochemically generated single droplets of MEPBr 3 using the current transient method on an ultramicroelectrode (UME).

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of bipartite entanglement of fermionic systems when one of the parties is traveling with a uniform acceleration. For the ordering problem in fermionic systems, we apply the recent result of Montero and Mart\'{\i}n-Mart\'{\i}nez [Phys. Rev. A 83, 052306 (2011)]. Based on the approach, we consider both pure and mixed entangled states, and we show that the behavior in terms of the entanglement measure (negativity) allows one to obtain physical results, i.e

We present a mechanistic understanding of the full redox electrochemistry of V(V)-V(IV)-V(III)-V(II) and the origin of the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during electroreduction of either V³⁺ or VO²⁺ in a highly concentrated mixed acidic solution based on both electroanalytical and computational approaches. First, we found that the VO²⁺/VO₂⁺ redox reaction is well explained by the EC/EC square scheme. We also found that V<sup>3+

Energy storage systems (ESSs) using a Br^-/Br₂ redox reaction such as a Zn/Br redox flow battery (RFB) or a redox-enhanced electrochemical capacitor (Redox-EC) suffer from self-discharge reactions resulting in significant Coulombic loss. To inhibit the self-discharge, quaternary ammonium (Q⁺) and tetraalkylammonium (T⁺) bromide are added to form ionic liquid (QBr_{2 n+1}) and solid (TBr₃) polybromides during the ESS charging process.

A unique surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurement scheme to discriminate gall bladder (GB) polyp and GB cancer by analysis of bile juice is proposed. Along with the high sensitivity of SERS, external voltage application during SERS measurement was incorporated to improve sample discriminability. For this purpose, Au nanodendrites were constructed on a screen-printed electrode (referred to as AuND@SPE), and Raman spectra of extracted aqueous phases from raw bile juice samples were acq
