The relationship between phase diagram features around the solid-liquid equilibrium region and ionic conductivity in aqueous solutions is not well understood over the whole concentration range as is the case for acidic aqueous solutions. In this work, we have studied the ionic conductivity (κ) as a function of molar fraction (x) and temperature (T) for four acid/water solutions namely, monoprotic hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO), diprotic sulfuric acid (HSO) and triprotic phosphoric acid (HPO) along with their binary phase diagrams. The connection between the main features of the phase diagrams and the trends in the ionic conductivity isotherms is established with a new insight on the two pertinent dominant conductivity mechanisms (hopping and vehicular). Ionic conductivity at different temperatures were collected from literature and fitted to reported isothermal (κ vs. x) and iso-compositional (κ vs. T) equations along with a novel semi-empirical equation (κ = f (x, T)) for diprotic and triprotic acids. This equation not only has the best fit for acids with different valency; but also contains four parameters, less than any other similar equation in literature. This work is one of few that advances the understanding of the intricate relationship between structure and ionic transport in various acidic aqueous solutions.

The photoinduced reaction of [Pt(NO)] with pyridine or its derivatives (L) was found to result in the formation of [PtL](NO) salts in high yield. This transformation was successfully probed for methyl- and carboxyethyl-substituted pyridines, and the corresponding [PtL](NO) salts were isolated and fully characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). Anation of the [Pt(py)] cationic complex with N was studied by H NMR spectroscopy in aqueous and water/dimethyl sulfoxide solutions of [Pt(py)](NO).

Hydrogels, three-dimensional polymeric networks capable of absorbing and retaining significant amounts of aqueous solution, offer a promising platform for controlled release of desired compounds. In this study, we explored the effects of urea delivery through galactoxyloglucan-sodium alginate hydrogels on the phenotypic and metabolic responses of , a vital oilseed and vegetable crop. The experiments were conducted with four treatments: control (without hydrogel beads and urea), direct urea supplementation (U), hydrogel beads with urea (HBWU), and hydrogel beads without urea (HBWOU).

Heterogeneous catalysis at the metal surface generally involves the transport of molecules through the interfacial water layer to access the surface, which is a rate-determining step at the nanoscale. In this study, taking the oxygen reduction reaction on a metal electrode in aqueous solution as an example, using accurate molecular dynamic simulations, we propose a novel long-range regulation strategy in which midinfrared stimulation (MIRS) with a frequency of approximately 1,000 cm is applied to nonthermally induce the structural transition of interfacial water from an ordered to disordered state, facilitating the access of oxygen molecules to metal surfaces at room temperature and increasing the oxygen reduction activity 50-fold. Impressively, the theoretical prediction is confirmed by the experimental observation of a significant discharge voltage increase in zinc-air batteries under MIRS.

This paper describes the production and high-current-density hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance in the whole pH range (from acidic to basic pH values) of self-supported α-MoB/β-MoB ceramic electrodes, aiming for use in industrial electrocatalytic water splitting. Tape-casting and phase-inversion process, followed by sintering, were employed to synthesize self-supported β-MoB ceramic electrodes, which exhibited well arranged large finger-like pores, providing numerous active sites and channels for electrolyte entry and hydrogen release. The reaction between β-MoB and the sintering aid of MoO produces α-MoB/β-MoB heterojunctions, which significantly improve the electrocatalytic performance.
