The preliminary study on the use of Glucopone 215 CSUP surfactant as an additive in nanoparticles preparation by means of electrochemical deposition has been investigated. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of Glucopone 215 CSUP was firstly determined both in de-ionized water and sulphate electrolyte using ensiometer. It was found that the presence of ions of the sulphate electrolyte did not make significant change on the CMC value. Electrochemical studies were then carried out using cyclic voltammetry technique. The influence of the addition of Glucopone 215 CSUP was found beyond its CMC, namely at concentration of 1.3 wt.%. In the presence of high concentration of the surfactant, The increase of current at cathodic scan of the cyclic voltammogram was observed at more negative potential  than  that  of  without  surfactant.  This  result  should  be  very  important  in  providing  suitable  co-electrodeposition potential for nanoparticles of Co, Ni and Cu electrodeposition assisted by glucopone 215 CSUP.

Abstract This study investigates the effect of MgO as an additive in molten Li2CO3-Na2CO3 electrolyte for molten carbonate fuel cells through electrochemical analyses. Addition of MgO (1~5 mol%) increased the electrochemical response in cyclic voltammogram of peroxide in molten Li2CO3-Na2CO3. The diffusion coefficient of peroxide in molten Li2CO3-Na2CO3 containing MgO was determined via the comparison between the peak currents of cyclic voltammograms from microwire electrode and macrowire electrode. The addition of MgO did not impact the diffusion coefficient, indicating that the increase in the electrochemical response with the addition of MgO might be attributed to the increase in the peroxide concentration. The change in peroxide concentration was also confirmed by electrochemical impedance analyses, which exhibited a decrease in the exchange current density. The increase in the concentration of peroxide with the addition of MgO might be associated with the high thermal decomposition constant of MgCO3, implying the high concentration of oxide ion in the molten Li2CO3-Na2CO3. This study suggests that MgO might be an effective additive for increasing the oxygen solubility in the molten Li2CO3-Na2CO3, and subsequently for enhancing the performance of molten carbonate fuel cells.

The paper focused on a self-developed methodology through using sulfur dioxide to deal with high concentration of chromium-containing wastewater. It studied the effects of different pH values, different reaction time, different temperatures and different amounts of sulfur with sulfur dioxide reduction reaction on the chromium-containing wastewater. The results showed that: when the reaction conditions were controlled as follows: the pH values ranged from 2 to 4, the reaction temperature was controlled 40~60°C, the amount of sulfur in theoretical was 1.2 times and the reaction time was 40 min, the hexavalent chromium in the high concentrations of chromium-containing wastewater could be effectively removed.

Chalcone synthase (CHS) (EC 2.3.1.74) catalyzes the first committed step of flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. It combines 4-coumaroyl-CoA with three C2 units from malonyl-CoA to produce naringenin chalcone which transforms to various numbers of flavonoids. In this work, we attempt to isolate the CHS gene from Gendarusa, which could serve as a preliminary study to elucidate the CHS gene regulation in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway of Malaysian medicinal plants generally, and in Justicia gendarussa Burm. F. species specifically. The total RNA was isolated from the mature leaves of Justicia gendarussa Burm. F. using the modified CTAB method. Extracted RNA, treated with RQ1 RNase-free DNasekit and cDNA synthesis in order to prepare the rich template of DNA for PCR by using M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase kit. High concentration of cDNA and A260/280 ratio reversely transcribed cDNAs guarantee the quality and quantity of synthesized cDNA. The CHS gene was amplified using the Phusion DNA Polymeraseand showed the same size of the previously amplified CHS gene from Melastoma, 1100bp.

Nanoscale lanthanum cobaltite with perovskite-type was successfully synthesized by microwave irradiation directly and was characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS and BET analysis. The results show that the size of particle was 18 nm averagely, the surface area to be 31.0 m2 g−1. The electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry and steady state polarization. The cyclic voltammogram between 0 and 0.55 V exhibited two pairs of redox peaks prior to the onset of O2 evolution in 1 mol dm−3 KOH. The Tafel slope and the reaction order with respect to concentration of OH− were found to be 60 mV decade−1 and ca. 1, respectively.

In this study, we present the first electrochemical investigation on the electrochromic property of poly (4-aminoazobenzene) coating prepared by oxidative coupling polymerization. A UV-vis spectrum was used to monitor the photoisomerization process of the polymer. At the same time, the electrochemical activity of the polymer was explored by cyclic voltammogram (CV) measurement, showing that the intrinsic electroactivity of the aniline structure was maintained in the polymer. Moreover, the electrochromic performance of the polymer was investigated by measuring electrochromic photographs and UV absorption spectra.
