Published: June 2019

The first measurements of infrared (IR) band intensities of solid dimethyl carbonate are presented along with measurements of this compound's refractive index and density near 15 K, neither of which has been reported. Molar refractions are used to compare these results to other new data from ices made of methyl acetate, acetone, acetic acid, and acetaldehyde, four molecules known to exist in the interstellar medium. Comparisons are made to IR intensities taken from the literature on amorphous ices. The value and importance of comparisons based on molecular structures, to predict and test laboratory results, are highlighted.

The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries has become a common concern of the whole society, with a large number of studies on recycling management and recycling technology, but there is relatively little study on the pollution release during the recycling process. Pollution will restrict the healthy development of the recycling industry, which makes relevant research very significant. This paper monitored and analyzed the battery recycling pretreatment process in a formal factory, and studied the pollution characteristics of particulate matter, heavy metals, and microplastics under different treatment stages.

Glycerol carbonate (GC) can be produced from glycerol (GL), a low-value byproduct in the biodiesel industry. In this work, continuous processes of GC production via transesterification from crude GL and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were developed using Aspen Plus. Two cases were considered, and their process performances were compared.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a chronic inflammatory disease, mainly affects the joints, with approximately 30% of psoriasis patients eventually developing PsA. Characterized by both innate and adaptive immune responses, PsA poses significant challenges for effective treatment. Recent advances in drug delivery systems have sparked interest in developing novel formulations to improve therapeutic outcomes.

In this paper, the pH-sensitive targeting functional material NGR-poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate (NGR-PEtOz-CHMC, NPC) modified quercetin (QUE) liposomes (NPC-QUE-L) was constructed. The structure of NPC was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum (H-NMR). Pharmacokinetic results showed that the accumulation of QUE in plasma of the NPC-QUE-L group was 1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights the impressive lithium ionic conductivity achieved using graphene oxide laminar membranes, which significantly exceeds that of traditional lithium-ion electrolytes.
  • At 170 mS cm, the nanoconfined lithium electrolyte demonstrates extraordinary performance, maintaining useful conductivity even at extremely low temperatures.
  • The findings suggest that the enhanced ion transport is due to unique layer distribution effects in the nanochannels, potentially revolutionizing energy storage technologies by integrating these channels into lithium battery components.
