A series of silica-supported polymeric ionic liquid (PIL)-based stationary phases derived from a vinylic L -valine ionic liquid monomer and divinylbenzene (DVB) as the crosslinking agent have been prepared and studied as gas chromatographic stationary phases. These coated gas chromatographic columns exhibited good thermal stabilities (230–300 °C) a...

AbstractThe antimicrobial and growth-stimulating activities of nine protic ionic liquids (PILs)—tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (protatranes) of cinnamic, benzoic, salicylic, oxalic, malonic, succinic, malic and citric acids—were investigated for the first time. It was found that tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts of cinnamic, benzoic and maloni...

The design of an active, stable and efficient photocatalyst that is able to be used for hydrogen production is of great interest nowadays. Therefore, four methods of AgTaO3 perovskite synthesis, such as hydrothermal, solvothermal, sol-gel and solid state reactions, were proposed in this study to identify the one with the highest hydrogen generation...
High power and energy density, long cyclability, and tolerance for wide temperature (seasonal and daily operational temperature differences) must be considered to construct large‐scale sodium secondary batteries. In this regard, Na₃V₂(PO₄)₂F₃ (NVPF) has become a subject of interest as a high‐performance positive electrode material owing to its high...
