Although lithium salts are the most successful materials for electrochemical devices so far, there is growing interest in electrolytes containing divalent and trivalent salts, which are characterized by a much higher energy density than lithium systems. For this purpose, the physical and chemical properties of solutions of aluminum nitrate in ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) were studied in a number of works. However, it was demonstrated by the H NMR method that solutions contain water (from aluminum crystallohydrates) in the first solvated shell of the Al cation even after usual drying procedures, and this solvated water cannot be directly detected by the standard Karl Fischer analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • * Two key regions, Krasnodar Krai and Crimea, were studied, revealing different species compositions and their impacts on pepper wilting in each area.
  • * The findings highlight previously unrecognized species as potential causes of wilt, which can inform biological control strategies and aid in developing pepper varieties resistant to this disease.

The unique physical and chemical properties of ionic liquids (ILs) determine their numerous applications in "green" chemistry and material science. Recently, systems based on ILs have been considered to be promising for use in a new generation of electrochemical devices. The results of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of the microstructure of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (IL)/water mixtures in the presence of Al cations are presented.

The H-C cross-polarization (CP) kinetics in poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride] (PMETAC) was studied under moderate (10 kHz) magic-angle spinning (MAS). To elucidate the role of adsorbed water in spin diffusion and proton conductivity, PMETAC was degassed under vacuum. The CP MAS results were processed by applying the anisotropic Naito and McDowell spin dynamics model, which includes the complete scheme of the rotating frame spin-lattice relaxation pathways.
