Peracetylated β‐cyclodextrin as solubilizer of arylphosphines in supercritical carbon dioxide
2006
Abstract Effect of peracetylated β-cyclodextrin on the solubility of diphenyl(4-phenylphenyl)phosphine in supercritical carbon dioxide medium has been investigated. As shown by gravimetric measurements, the presence of cyclodextrin (CD) (1 equivalent) allows to increase the solubility of phosphine (P) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) (40 °C, 35.2 MPa, nominal system density 0.89 g/mL). This solubility enhancement was attributed to host–guest interactions in scCO 2 as the P was recovered in the form of an inclusion complex. Furthermore, a diffuse reflectance spectroscopy study on the samples recovered after the experiments and on various CD/P solid mixtures obtained by co-grinding i…
Crystal Structure and Local Dynamics in Tetrahedral Proton-Conducting La1-xBa1+xGaO4
2010
La1-xBa1+xGaO4-0 (LBG) compounds, based on unconnected GaO4 moieties, were recently proposed as proton conductors. Protonic defects in the lattice are inserted through self-doping with Ba2+, to create oxygen vacancies subsequently filled by hydroxyl ions. We present a combined structural analysis on self-doped LBG using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption (EXAFS): these results unravel the finer structural details on the short-range and long-range scales, and they are correlated with the dynamical properties of protonic conduction coming from vibrational spectroscopy. The structure of the GaO4 groups is independent of the oxide composition. On hydration, an array of short intertetr…
Experimental investigation of the grain size dependence of the hydrolysis of LiH powder
2011
International audience; The hydrolysis reaction of LiH powder has been investigated in order to determine the products, rates and mechanisms of this reaction and the influence of the experimental parameters. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and gravimetric analysis were used. It was shown that the product of hydrolysis was the hydroxide of lithium (LiOH) for low partial pressure of water (≈50 Pa) and LiOH*H2O for a higher partial pressure of water (>2000 Pa). Moreover, data obtained using gravimetric analysis inside a glove box containing a controlled partial pressure of water (500 ppmv/50 Pa at 25 °C) were used to determine the rate of the reaction versus particle size. The experiment…

Pulicaria glutinosa plant extract: a green and eco-friendly reducing agent for the preparation of highly reduced graphene oxide
2014
The environmentally friendly synthesis of nanomaterials using green chemistry has attracted tremendous attention in recent years due to its easy handling, low cost, and biocompatibility. Here we demonstrate a facile and efficient route for the synthesis of highly reduced graphene oxide (PE-HRG) by the green reduction of graphene oxide (GRO) using the Pulicaria glutinosa plant extract (PE). The phytomolecules present in the P. glutinosa extract are not only responsible for the reduction of GRO, but also for the functionalization of the surface of the PE-HRG nanosheets and stabilize them in various solvents, thereby limiting the use of any other external and harmful chemical reductants and su…
New approach for synthesis of poly(ethylglyoxylate) using Maghnite-H + , an Algerian proton exchanged montmorillonite clay, as an eco-catalyst
2017
International audience; In this works, we have explored a new method for a green synthesis of poly(ethylglyoxylate) (PEtG). This method consists on using a montmorillonite clay called Maghnite-H+ as an eco-catalyst to replace triethylamine which is toxic. Cationic polymerization experiments are performed in bulk conditions at three temperatures (-40 degrees C, 25 degrees C, 80 degrees C) and in THF solutions at room temperature (25 degrees C). At 25 degrees C, an optimum ratio of 5 wt% of catalyst leads to molar masses up to 22000 g/mol in THF solutions. Polymerizations in bulk conditions lead to slightly lower masses than experiments conducted in THF solutions. However, bulk polymerization…
Undecylenic acid: A tunable bio-based synthon for materials applications
2016
International audience; An undecylenic acid-based monoglyceride prepared from glycidol and undecylenic acid is used as suitable and tunable synthon for polymerization applications. Epoxidation and acrylation reactions lead to photopolymerizable monomers while transesterification with dimethyl carbonate, metathesis and aminolysis reactions provide access to polyhydroxyurethane-based materials. The successive intermediates were synthesized according to a green chemistry approach implicating solvent-less and catalyzed reactions, and were at each step fully characterized by infrared, 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. Analyses of the resulting polymer mat…
Investigation of surface properties of lunar regolith: Part I
2007
This paper describes an initial investigation of the surface properties of three lunar soil samples from the Apollo 11, 12 and 16 missions, respectively. We report on density measurements using a helium pycnometer, adsorption isotherms of krypton applied for the determination of specific surface area of the samples and gravimetric measurement of the isotherms of water, heptane and octane. Electron-microscopic photographs are described and discussed.
Hydrogen Sorption Properties of Metal Hydride and Glass Phase
2009
This work is devoted to the development of a new composite material for hydrogen storage and to investigation of physical and chemical characteristics of material. The new composite material is formed by combination of AB5 type lanthanum nickel alloy with a glass based on silica. Thermogravimetric and XRD measurements prove that the new material absorbs more hydrogen than both constituents separately. That is explained by hydrogen sorption in the composite material due to the hydrogen spillover phenomena, where the hydrogen molecules dissociated on the surface of catalyst in atoms and spills over to the inert surface. That causes the increase of catalytic activity of an alloy and the presen…
Insights on the Mechanism of Insoluble-to-Soluble Prussian Blue Transformation
2009
The electrochemical transformation of the soluble form of Prussian blue (PB) material from the insoluble form was monitored using electrochemical, gravimetric, acoustic, and spectroscopic techniques simultaneously. The described combination of in situ techniques represents an innovative tool for measurement in electrochemistry, which provides complementary information on the electrochemical systems. The insoluble-to-soluble PB transformation process takes place during the successive voltammetric cycles between the mixed valence form (PB) and the fully reduced form [Everitt's salt (ES)]. One of the processes that takes place is the exit of free Fe(CN) 4- 6 ions occluded in the vacancies of t…
