The point of zero charge (pHpzc) of the sample (β-FeOOH) is shifted from 7.50 to 8.20 and 8.55, respectively, in KCl and K2SO4 electrolyte media. Intrinsic surface acidity and complexation constants have been calculated by single and double extrapolation methods using Potentiometrie titration data obtained for different concentrations of KCl and K2SO4 in aqueous media. Complexation con stants for K+, Cl− and SO2−4 have also been calculated from adsorption data by the same two methods. Close agreement exists between the two sets of values. Chloride ions form SOH2−4 – Cl− surface complexes on a β-FeOOH surface, whereas sulphate ions form two types of surface complex i.e. SOH+2 – SO2−4 and SOH+2 – SO4H−. Various parameters such as σ0, ψ0, ψd, dσ0/dψ0, etc. associated with the electrical double layer at the oxide/aqueous KCl and K2SO4 electrolyte solution interface have been calculated from Potentiometrie and adsorption data, and are discussed.

Potentiometric titrations of aluminium(III) phosphate have been performed in the presence of aqueous electrolyte solutions containing Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and K+ ions as a function of the concentration of the latter, the pH and the temperature. The sorption of Zn2+ ions has also been studied and the data for metal ion sorption shown to correlate with the Potentiometric titration data, indicating that the process responsible for metal ion uptake is ion exchange. The pKa value of the exchanger and its thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated.

The capacitance of a layer of spherical orientable dipoles has been determined. The properties attributed to each dipole are those of two point charges on a diameter of the sphere and equidistant from its centre. A one-dimensional potential distribution is assumed to exist normal to the layer and to be coupled to the charge distribution via Poisson's law. The orientation of the dipoles is random in the absence of polarization, but is taken as governed by Boltzmannian statistics when an applied field is present. The treatment predicts that the capacitance will display a pronounced hump at the point of zero charge. Though this study was motivated by a wish to interpret the inner-layer capacitance at a mercury/aqueous electrolyte solution interface, the treatment is shown to be inapplicable quantitatively to such a system.

Rate constants have been measured for the acid-catalysed hydrolyses of t-butyl acetate and methyl chloroacetate in various aqueous electrolyte solutions; the activity coefficients of the esters in these electrolyte solutions have also been measured. The results are used to test a recently proposed method of determining transition state hydration numbers for reactions in aqueous media.

We demonstrate that bismuth exhibits no measurable electrocatalytic activity for the nitrogen reduction reaction to ammonia in aqueous electrolyte solutions, contrary to several recent reports on the highly impressive rates of Bi-catalysed electrosynthesis of NH<sub>3</sub> from N<sub>2</sub>.

AbstractElectrochemically reversible redox couples that embrace more electron transfer at a higher potential are the eternal target for energy storage batteries. Here, we report a four-electron aqueous zinc-iodine battery by activating the highly reversible I2/I+ couple (1.83 V vs. Zn/Zn2+) in addition to the typical I−/I2 couple (1.29 V). This is achieved by intensive solvation of the aqueous electrolyte to yield ICl inter-halogens and to suspend its hydrolysis. Experimental characterization and modelling reveal that limited water activity and sufficient free chloride ions in the electrolyte are crucial for the four-electron process. The merits of the electrolyte also afford to stabilize Zn anode, leading to a reliable Zn-I2 aqueous battery of 6000 cycles. Owing to high operational voltage and capacity, energy density up to 750 Wh kg−1 based on iodine mass was achieved (15–20 wt% iodine in electrode). It pushes the Zn-I2 battery to a superior level among these available aqueous batteries.

In the frame of a systematic study on the sequestering ability of natural antioxidants towards metal cations, the complexation of coumarin-3-carboxilic acid (HCCA) with neodymium(III) and dioxouranium(VI) (uranyl, UO22+), and overall stability constants of the resulting complexes, were evaluated from the pH-potentiometric titration data at 37 °C and in an aqueous solution (i.e., 0.16 mol/L NaClO4). The graphic representation of the complex’s concentration curves is given by the distribution diagrams, which provide a depiction of all the species present in the solution in the selected pH ranges. The protonation constant of HCCA was also determined to evaluate the competition of the ligand for the metal cations and H+. The ligand-to-metal concentration ratio was varied between 1 and 10, and the hydrogen ion concentration was decreased stepwise until the incipient precipitation of a basic salt of the metal, which occurred at different values depending on the specific metal cation and the ligand to metal ratio. Speciation profiles obtained by potentiometric titrations and supported by UV-Vis data show that a complexation occurs at a ligand-to-Nd(III) and to –UO22+ ratio of 1:1 and 2:1, with different degrees of deprotonation: Nd(OH)(CCA)+, UO2(OH)(CCA), UO2(OH)2(CCA)−, and Nd(OH)(CCA)2, UO2(CCA)2 and (UO2)2(OH)2(CCA)2.
