The local structure in the BmimPF6/acetonitrile mixture: the charge distribution effect

The effect of the charge distribution on the local structure in the binary mixture of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BmimPF6) ionic liquid and acetonitrile is investigated over the entire composition range.

Unexpected visible light driven photocatalytic activity without cocatalysts and sacrificial reagents from a (GaN)1–x(ZnO)x solid solution synthesized at high pressure over the entire composition range

(GaN)1–x(ZnO)x synthesized at high pressure produces H2 in the presence of visible light without any cocatalysts or sacrificial reagents.

Study of the refractive index of gasoline+alcohol pseudo-binary mixtures

The properties of gasoline change as a result of blending with a bioalcohol, affecting the behavior of the pseudo-binary system. The aim of this paper is to present experimental data of the refractive index for pseudobinary mixtures of a reformate gasoline with ethanol, isopropanol and n-butanol over the entire composition range and for temperature ranging from 293.15 K to 313.15 K. The accuracy of different equations to predict the refractive index of the mixtures was tested. The best prediction accuracy (the lower AAD) corresponded to Eykman and Lorentz-Lorenz mixing rules. A logarithmic equation proposed to correlate the refractive index with composition and temperature of gasoline+alcohol mixtures showed a good accuracy (the absolute average deviation AAD < 0.052%). The deviations in refractive index for investigated systems are negative over the entire composition range and at all investigated temperatures.
