THE PREPARATION OF ELECTRODES MODIFIED WITH ISOPOLYMOLYBDIC ACID PLUS POLYANILINE FILM AND ITS CATALYTIC EFFECTS ON CHLORATE IONS

Electrodes modified with isopolymolybdic acid+polyaniline film, which exhibit high stability and activity in aqueous acidic solution, have been prepared successfully using two methods: one-step synthesis by electrochemical polymerization at a constant applied potential of +0.80 V/SCE or by cycling the potential at 100 mV/s between -0.12 and +0.85 V in 0.5 M H2SO4 containing 5.0x10(-2) M aniline and 5.0x10(-3) M H4Mo8O26, or two-step synthesis by doping the polyaniline film electrode with isopoly acid (IPA) under a cycling potential between -0.20 and +0.40 V in 0.5 M H2SO4 containing the H4Mo8O26 dopant. The thickness of the film and the amount of dopant in the polyaniline film can be controlled by experimental parameters such as the charge, time and the ratio of aniline to IPA in the solution. The experimental results show that electrodes modified with isopolymolybdic acid+polyaniline film using both methods have a strong catalytic effect on the reduction of chlorate anions. Comparison of the two methods of modification shows that the catalytic effect at the modified electrode prepared by the two-step method is greater than that at the electrode prepared by the one-step method.

A STUDY OF ION KINETIC-ENERGY SPECTROMETRY OF ORTHO-DICHLORO, META-DICHLORO AND PARA-DICHLORO BENZENE DOUBLY CHARGED IONS [C6H4CL2]2+ AND [C6H3CL]2+ IN GAS-PHASE

The unimolecular Charge separation reactions of the doubly charged ions [C6H4Cl2]2+, [C6H3Cl]2+ produced in the ion source by electron impact from o-, m-, and p-dichloro benzene have been studied using mass analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry. The values of kinetic energy releases (T) can be calculated from the energy dispersion of product ions. As T essentially reflects the release of coulombic energy, which can be used to calculate the approximate distances R between the two charges immediately before decomposition of the ions. From these data, some structural information about transiton states could be provided. The ECID and CID processes of above doubly charged ions, have also been studied. We found that the CID reactions of (C6H4Cl2)2+ could be used to distinguish three dichloro benzene isomers.

PHOTOELECTROCHEMISTRY OF ELECTRODEPOSITED POLYCRYSTALLINE CUINSE2 THIN-FILMS .1. ELECTRODEPOSITION OF CUINSE2 FILMS

Electrodeposition of CuInSe2 was investigated in acidic solutions containing Cu2+, In3+ and HSeO2+ ions. The electrodeposition condition was optimized with the aim of obtaining uniform thin films on titanium substrate. The mechanism of the electrodeposition process is discussed. Structure analysis of the deposited film shows a typical polycrystalline chalcopyrite structure, good crystallinity and homogeneous dispersion. The photoelectrochemical cells made of these kinds of deposited films in polysulfide redox solution give distinct photoresponse.

A STUDY OF ION KINETIC ENERGY SPECTROMETRY OF FERROCENE DOUBLY CHARGED IONS IN GAS PHASE

The unimolecular charge separation reactions of the doubly charged ions FeC10H102+, FeC10H theta 2+, FeC10H82+ produced in the ion source by electron impact from ferrocene have been studied using Mass analyzed Ion Kinetic Energy Spectrometry (MIKES) technique. From the values of the kinetic energy releases (T), the intercharge distances (R) of the exploding doubly charged ions in their transition structures have been estimated and some structural informations about the transition states can be obtained. The collision induced reactions of the FeC10H102+ ion with Ar have been studied using MIKES, we postulate a new type of continuing reaction which may be "collisional charge separation induced dissociation".

STUDY ON DEPOSITION POTENTIALS OF LITHIUM AND SODIUM-IONS AND DEPOLARIZATION IN BINARY CHLORIDE

Deposition potentials of Lithium and Sodium ions have been measured in binary chloride systems (LiCl-KCl, NaCl-KCl) by I-V curve method, to provide a theoretical base for preparing high purity Al-Li alloy by electrolysis in molten salt. The changes of free energy and enthalpy were calculated in terms of depolarization values on Al cathode. Thermodynamic meaning of depolarization was discussed in details and the empirical relation between binary alloy type and depolarization type was proposed. It is shown for the first time that the presence of a third element in Al-Li alloy can strengthen depolarization of Li ion at Al alloy cathode and give foundation for preparing high purity Al-Li-M ternary alloy. The effect of LiCl concentration on deposition potentials of Li ion at Al cathode in KCl-LiCl melt was studied and average active coefficient of LiCl was obtained.

COORDINATION CHEMISTRY AND SUPERCONDUCTIVITY

Analysing the coordination state of copper ions in cuprate superconductors, it is found that the larger the energy splitting between d(x2-y2) and d(z2) orbitals of Cu or the higher the energy of the d(x2-y2) orbital, the higher the Tc. Thus, appropriate coordination structures and strong-field ligands must be chosen for expanding the energy splitting and increasing the energy of the d(x2-y2) orbital when searching for new high-Tc superconductors. Summarizing the experimental results of ESR and XPS, it is considered that the [Cu2+ - O open-square-box 2- - Cu3+] resonance exists in cuprate superconductors and the electron field breathing mode is present. Analysing the mechanism and the relationship between the coordination state of Cu and Tc, we consider that the two dimensional Cu-O planes are responsible for the superconductivity of YBa2Cu3O7-y.
