A new generation of boronic ionic liquid namely 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium difluoro(oxalate)borate (EMImDFOB) was synthesized by metathesis reaction between 1-ethyl-3-methylimiazolium bromide and lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB). Ternary gel polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared using electrolyte mixture EMImDFOB/LiDFOB with poly vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-co-HFP) as a host matrix by facile solvent-casting method and plausibly demonstrated its feasibility to use in lithium ion batteries. Amongst ternary gel electrolyte membrane, DFOB-GPE3, which contained 80 wt% of EMImDFOB/LiDFOB and 20 wt% PVdF-co-HFP, showed excellent electrochemical and cycling behaviors. The highest ionic conductivity was found to be 10 Scm at 378 K. Charge-discharge profile of Li/DFOB-GPE3/LiCoO coin cell displayed a maximum discharge capacity of 148.4 mAhg at C/10 rate with impressive capacity retention capability and columbic efficiency at 298 K.

The pristine phases SS1(ZnO), SS2(MnO), and SS3 (CuO) photocatalysts and mixed phases of ZnO-based nanocomposites were synthesized by the sol-gel method. Whereas SS4 (g-CN) was prepared through polymerization of urea. The synthesized photocatalysts were characterized using TGA-DTA, XRD, DRS, PL, DLS, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and HRTEM.

Asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs), which combine the advantages of electric double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors, have attracted more and more research interest. However, the performance of water-based ASCs often faces the challenge of electrolyte freezing at low temperatures. To resolve the problem, a ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES) with an eutectic point of less than -100 °C was first prepared.

Tetraphenylethene (TPE) is known as a molecule that exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE). In this study, pendant hydroxyl groups were introduced onto polyfluorene with a TPE moiety. Sol-gel reactions of polydiethoxysiloxane (PDEOS) were carried out in the presence of hydroxyl-functionalized AIE polyfluorene (TPE-PF-OH) and polydimethylsiloxane carrying pendant hydroxyl groups (PDMS-OH) to immobilize AIE polyfluorene into a PDMS/SiO hybrid in an isolated dispersion state.

Multicomponent oxide systems have many applications in different fields such as optics and medicine. In this work, we developed new hybrid photoresists based on a combination of an organic acrylate resin and an inorganic sol, suitable for 3D printing via two-photon polymerization (2PP). The inorganic sol contained precursors of a binary SiO-CaO or a ternary SiO-CaO-PO system.

Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide due to the growth of multi-drug resistant strains unsusceptible to currently available therapies. Four compounds, isoniazid (INH) and three derivatives, N'-decanoylisonicotinohydrazide (INHC10), N'-(E)-(4-phenoxybenzylidene)isonicotinohydrazide (N34) and N'-(4-phenoxybenzyl)isonicotinohydrazide (N34red), were studied. Owing to their advantageous in vitro selectivity index against the primary mutation responsible for drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), as well as their suitable lipophilicity and interaction with human serum albumin, INHC10 and N34 were deemed promising antitubercular compounds.
