Summary: Controlling the ionic conductivity of liquids is essential for electronic device applications, and we have developed metal-containing ionic liquids that exhibit reversible changes in ionic conductivity through UV photoirradiation and heating. The substituents in these liquids significantly affect the photochemical reaction, and by combining liquids with different reactivity, the conversions can be controlled. The ionic conductivity of these liquids undergoes reversible changes through successive photoirradiation-heating cycles, reflecting their photoreactivity.

Summary: AgI-based Ge-Ga-S, Ge-Ga-Se, and Ge-Ga-Te ion-conducting glasses with different sulphur group elements were prepared. The thermodynamic stability and electrical properties were examined and compared. Among the glasses, Ge-Ga-S-AgI exhibited the best thermodynamic stability and glass-forming ability, highest ionic conductivity (1.33 x 10(-7) S/cm) at room temperature, and lowest conductivity activation energy (0.41 eV). The study also revealed the role of structural units in facilitating the transport of Ag+ ions in different series of glasses.

Summary: In this study, the thermal conductivity of an ionic liquid was measured at different temperatures and pressures using a transient hot-wire technique. The results showed that the thermal conductivity initially decreased and then gradually increased, mainly due to the effects of hydrostatic pressure. These findings have implications for engineering design and applications.

Summary: The huge Seebeck coefficients observed recently for ionic conductors are shown to arise from a ratchet effect where activated jumps between neighbor sites are rectified by a temperature gradient, thus driving mobile ions toward the cold. For complex systems with mobile molecules like water or polyethylene glycol, there is an even more efficient diffusiophoretic transport mechanism, proportional to the thermally induced concentration gradient of the molecular component. Without free parameters, the model describes experiments on the ionic liquid EMIM-TFSI and hydrated NaPSS, and qualitatively accounts for polymer electrolyte membranes with Seebeck coefficients of hundreds of k(B)/e.

Summary: In this study, double salt ionic liquids (DSILs) with triple ions were generated using parent ionic liquids. The conductivity of DSILs was measured and compared to that of the corresponding parent neat ionic liquids. The results showed that most DSILs had higher conductivity than the linear averages of the parent neat ionic liquids. The temperature dependence of DSILs was accurately described using the VTF equation and the relationships between parameters of the VTF equation and ion composition could be expressed by the first-order Fourier equation.

Summary: In this study, the phase behavior and properties of the PES/IL(BF4) binary blends were systematically investigated. It was found that the sulfone group on PES can form a hydrogen bond with the H atom at the C-2 position of the imidazole ring of ionic liquid, which contributes to the good compatibility between PES and IL(BF4). The blends undergo phase separation with increasing temperature, leading to the enrichment of IL(BF4) and enhanced hydrophilicity while decreasing electrical conductivity.

Summary: In this study, the solubilities of carbon dioxide in a DES composed of 1 NaBr + 6 ethylene glycol were experimentally measured at different temperatures and pressures. The measured data were used to optimize the fitting parameters of the Cubic Plus Association and the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equations of state. The results showed that both models provided reliable estimations, with the CPA EoS requiring smaller binary interaction parameters compared to the SRK EoS. The study also calculated thermodynamic properties and found that the interactions between carbon dioxide and the DES resulted in the release of energy and reduced disorder.

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

The reaction mechanism involves complex reaction orders for the oxidant and the aromatic aldehyde, while the reaction order for Ru(VI) is one. The proposed mechanism includes two catalytic cycles and the formation and decomposition of complexes.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.
