Anionic character of the conduction band of sodium chloride

Klaus Kern, Abhishek Grewal

The alkali halides are ionic compounds. Each alkali atom donates an electron to a halogen atom, leading to ions with full shells. The valence band is mainly located on halogen atoms, while, in a traditional picture, the conduction band is mainly located on ...

Halide removal from aqueous solution by novel silver-polymeric materials

Urs von Gunten

The objective of this study was to analyze the behavior of a new material, silver-doped polymeric cloth (Ag-cloth), in the removal of bromide and iodide from waters. Silver is immobilized on the cloth, guaranteeing selective adsorption of the halide ions a ...

Bubble electrodeposition of gold porous nanocorals for the enzymatic and non-enzymatic detection of glucose

Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino

Au nanocorals are grown on gold screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) by using a novel and simple one-step electro-deposition process. Scanning electron microscopy was used for the morphological characterization. The devices were assembled on a three-electrode ...

Symmetry breaking in hexagonal and cubic polymorphs of BaTiO3

Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli

BaTiO3 appears in cubic and hexagonal variants, both of which are centrosymmetric. Samples of cubic BaTiO3 are known to exhibit breaking of the centric symmetry locally and globally. It has been proposed that the local symmetry breaking originates in polar ...

Incorporation of rubidium cations into perovskite solar cells improves photovoltaic performance

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Antonio Abate, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Konrad Domanski, Jiyoun Seo, Amita Ummadisingu, Taisuke Matsui

All of the cations currently used in perovskite solar cells abide by the tolerance factor for incorporation into the lattice. We show that the small and oxidation-stable rubidium cation (Rb+) can be embedded into a "cation cascade" to create perovskite mat ...

Critical influence of chloride ions on silver ion-mediated acute toxicity of silver nanoparticles to zebrafish embryos

Kristin Schirmer, Renata Behra

The toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) to aquatic organisms, including zebrafish (Danio rerio), has been demonstrated, but differing opinions exist on the contribution of the physical properties of the particles themselves and the free dissolved silve ...

Full-waveform GPR inversion to assess chloride gradients in concrete

Eugen Brühwiler, Alexis Kalogeropoulos

The spreading of deicing salt on roads during winter and the consequent migration of chloride ions within concrete exposes structures reinforcement to corrosion. Reinforcement corrosion is problematic because it reduces the structure's load carrying capaci ...

Chloride Ions in the Pore of Glycine and GABA Channels Shape the Time Course and Voltage Dependence of Agonist Currents

Michele Giugliano

In the vertebrate CNS, fast synaptic inhibition is mediated by GABA and glycine receptors. We recently reported that the time course of these synaptic currents is slower when intracellular chloride is high. Here we extend these findings to measure the effe ...
