  • The position of the thermodynamic equilibrium for reverse thermochromic spiropyran 6-carboxylates (SP-COOHs) was easily determined in aqueous binary mixtures, such as water-methanol, water-acetonitrile and water-dimethyl sulfoxide. The existence of more than one type of interconvertible species of the ring-opened form of SP-COOH in aqueous binary solvents enables us to evaluate the molar extinction coefficients of the ring-opened species of SP-COOH and to obtain the thermodynamic parameters.

  • Temperature and frequency dependent AC conductivity behavior has been studied for the chemically synthesized polyaniline-polymannuronate (PANI-PM) composites. The temperature (300 - 500 K) and frequency (100 - $10^6$ Hz) dependent AC conductivity suggests evidence for the transport mechanism in PANI-PM composites. The frequency dependence of AC conductivity has been investigated by the power law. The frequency exponent (s) is determined, and the data suggest that s decreases with temperature. The variation of s with temperature suggests that AC conduction is due to the correlated barrier hopping.

  • The unequivocal solid-state structure and stereochemistry of the hetaryl leuco-TAM dye, 2,2’-(2-phenyl propane- 1,3-diylidene) bis(1,3,3- trimethylindoline) derivatives were established using X-ray single crystal analysis. The X-ray crystal analysis showed that the (Z, E)-isomers only formed stereoselectively, with a so-called “threebladed propeller” conformation, from the reaction of a Fischer base and benzaldehyde derivatives. These isomers were stacked in a juxtaposition to form a dimer or a double dimer, adopting either a triclinic, with P-1, or monoclinic crystal system with a space group P21/n in the unit cell of the crystal.

  • An investigation of rare metals recovery from LiNixCoyMnzO2 cathode material of the end-of-life lithium-ion batteries is presented. To determine the influence of reductant on the leach process, the cathode material (containing Li 7.6%, Co 20.4%, Mn 19.4%, and Ni 19.3%) was leached in H2SO4 solutions either with or without H2O2. The optimal process parameters with respect to acid concentration, addition dosage of H2O2, temperature, and the leaching time were found to be 2.0 M H2SO4, 4 vol.% H2O2, 70℃, and 150 min, respectively. The yield of metal values in the leach liquor was > 99%. The leach liquor was subsequently treated by precipitation techniques to recover nickel as Ni(C4H7N2O2)2 and lithium as Li2CO3 with stoichiometric ratios of 2:1 and 1.2:1 of dimethylglyoxime:Ni and Na2CO3:Li, respectively. Cobalt was recovered by solvent extraction following a 3-stage process using Na-Cyanex 272 at pHeq ~5.0 with an organic-to-aqueous phase ratio (O/A) of 2/3. The loaded organic phase was stripped with 2.0 M H2SO4 at an O/A ratio of 8/1 to yield a solution of 114 g/L CoSO4; finally recovered CoSO4.xH2O by crystallization. The process economics were analyzed and found to be viable with a margin of $476 per ton of the cathode material.
