Article Abstract

is a widely applied microorganism for the reduction of toxic metal salts, as an electron source for bioelectrochemical devices, and as a reagent for the synthesis of nanoparticles. In order to understand the influence of metal salts, and of electron transporting, multiheme -cytochromes on the electron flux during respiration of , the reduction kinetic of Fe, Co, V, Cr, and Mn containing complexes were measured. Starting from the resting phase, each cell produced an electron flux of 3.7 × 10 electrons per second during the respiration process. Reduction rates were within ± 30% the same for the 6 different metal salts, and reaction kinetics were of zero order. Decrease of -cytochrome concentrations by downregulation and mutation demonstrated that -cytochromes stabilized respiration rates by variation of their redox states. Increasing Fe/heme levels increased electron flux rates, and induced respiration flexibility. The kinetic effects parallel electrochemical results of biofilms on electrodes, and might help to optimize bioelectrochemical devices.

A novel phthalonitrile derivative (a) containing three functional groups (hexyl, aminated ester, phenoxy) was synthesized and subsequently cyclotetramerized in the presence of the corresponding metal chloride salts to obtain hexadeca-substituted metal {M = Cu(II) and Co(II)} phthalocyanines (b and c). The water-soluble phthalocyanines (d and e) were prepared by treating the newly synthesized complexes (b and c) with methyl iodide. Moreover, gold nanoparticles (1) and silver nanoparticles (2) were prepared, and their surfaces were modified with quaternary phthalocyanines (d and e).

Electrolytes are important components in lithium-ion batteries. However, battery degradation due to irreversible electrochemical reactions in the electrolyte can consume electrolyte molecules and severely reduce its effective operation lifetime. It is hence important to study the electrochemical reaction pathways in the battery electrolyte to further improve lithium-ion battery reliability.

Methanesulfonate salts have garnered interest as candidates for optical crystals; however, there are relatively little empirical data to thoroughly understand their structure-property relationships. Furthermore, there is only one trivalent main group methanesulfonate reported in the solid state, Al(HO)(SOCH). We report the synthesis and characterization of four new trivalent methanesulfonates, such as () Y(SOCH), () Bi(SOCH), () In(SOCH)(HO), and () SbO(OH)(SOCH).

The coordination chemistry of the planar, doubly π-extended bipyridine analog, 6,6',7,7'-biphenanthridine (p-biphe), is presented. The phenanthridine units in p-biphe are fused together at the 6- and 7- positions, and the resulting rigid ligand is compared with the more flexible parent "biphe" fused only at the 6-positions. p-Biphe is intensely fluorescent in solution with a much higher quantum yield, but, unlike biphe, at 77 K the fluorescence is not accompanied by any significant phosphorescence.

Developing solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, a high voltage window, low flammability, and excellent interface compatibilities with both the anode and cathode for lithium-metal batteries is still a great challenge but highly desirable. Herein, we achieve this target through an in situ copolymerization of vinyl ethylene carbonate (VEC) together with acrylonitrile (AN) under fitting ratios inside a porous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber membrane doped with flame-retardant decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) molecules. The received fiber-reinforced polycarbonate-based composite electrolyte with an ultrathin thickness of 13 μm exhibits good internal interfacial compatibility because of the same AN structure and superior flame-retardant performance due to the doped DBDPE molecules.
