To address this issue, a La0.75A0.25NiO3/SiO2 (A = Ce, Sr, Sm, and Ca) catalyst is prepared via a citric acid complexation method. XRD results show that the substituted elements (Sr, Sm, and Ca) enter the LaNiO3 lattice and partially replace the A-site element La. The reduced Ni0 is beneficial to improve the medium temperature activity of the catalyst. The substitution of different elements produces different electronic effects that significantly affect the size of the Ni particles and the interaction between Ni and La2O3. The catalyst with doped Ca2+ as the A-site substituted element demonstrates better adsorption, storage, and migration capabilities for oxygen due to the lattice distortion that easily produces oxygen vacancies. Catalysts doped with Sr, Sm, and Ca as the A-site substituted element produce La2O2CO3 after the reactions, which plays a role in eliminating carbon deposits.","PeriodicalId":15318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Research-s","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80493453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upon addition of tin(II) ions to an aqueous solution of compounds DiSCn(3)-3 and 4, both exhibit considerable changes in their absorption and fluorescent intensity, respectively. These spectral changes may correspond to the binding between tin(II) ions and the sulfur atom in the benzothiazole unit to form a metal complex. This indicates that DiSCn(3)-3 and 4 can be used as promising fluorescent chemical sensors for detecting tin(II) ions in aqueous solution via visible-light excitation.","PeriodicalId":15318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Research-s","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91105769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work evaluates the electrocatalytic performance of a nickel(II) coordination complex based on generic thiacalix[4]arene. The coordination complex is characterized by cyclic voltammetry, where two reduction peaks are observed at −0.57 and −1.33 V for the two redox couples Ni2+/Ni+ and Ni+/Ni, respectively. The proton reduction occurs at the second peak potential with a slight shift at about −1.0 V, with increasing peak currents directly related to the number of acetic acid equivalents. The maximum peak current was observed to be at about 67 µA for 20 equiv. of acetic acid.","PeriodicalId":15318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Research-s","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88213615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of pH, adsorbent mass, graphene oxide initial concentration, contact time, and temperature on graphene oxide adsorption by laterite were studied predominantly. The results show that graphene oxide adsorption by laterite strongly depends on pH, the kinetic data conforms to the second-order kinetic model, and the isotherm data are in line with Langmuir and Freundlich models. Moreover, temperature increment is more conducive to improving the adsorption capacity. Combined with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman microscopic tests, the internal changes of samples before and after adsorption were further revealed.
