  • Synergistic Effect of 2-Acrylamido-2-Methyl-1-Propanesulfonic Acid on the Enhanced Conductivity for Fuel Cell at Low Temperature
    membranes Article Synergistic Effect of 2-Acrylamido-2-methyl- 1-propanesulfonic Acid on the Enhanced Conductivity for Fuel Cell at Low Temperature Murli Manohar * and Dukjoon Kim * School of Chemical Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Kyunggi 16419, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (D.K.) Received: 3 November 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 15 December 2020 Abstract: This present work focused on the aromatic polymer (poly (1,4-phenylene ether-ether-sulfone); SPEES) interconnected/ cross-linked with the aliphatic monomer (2-acrylamido -2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic; AMPS) with the sulfonic group to enhance the conductivity and make it flexible with aliphatic chain of AMPS. Surprisingly, it produced higher conductivity than that of other reported work after the chemical stability was measured. It allows optimizing the synthesis of polymer electrolyte membranes with tailor-made combinations of conductivity and stability. Membrane structure is characterized by 1H NMR and FT-IR. Weight loss of the membrane in Fenton’s reagent is not too high during the oxidative stability test. The thermal stability of the membrane is characterized by TGA and its morphology by SEM and SAXS. The prepared membranes improved 1 proton conductivity up to 0.125 Scm− which is much higher than that of Nafion N115 which is 1 0.059 Scm− . Therefore, the SPEES-AM membranes are adequate for fuel cell at 50 ◦C with reduced relative humidity (RH). Keywords: 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic; proton-exchange membrane; conductivity; cross-linking; temperature 1. Introduction Recently, lots of polymer electrolyte membranes have been prepared from the sulfonation of aromatic polymers such as poly(arylene ether sulfone) [1–4] and modified poly(arylene ether sulfone) [5–7] for the application of electrodialysis and fuel cells as their rigid-rod backbone structures are basically quite stable in thermal and mechanical aspects.

  • Butadiene, Supp. B
    .. ..--.- PROCESS ECONOMICS PROGRAM SRI INTERNATIONAL Menlo Park, California Abstract Process Economics Program Report No. 35B BUTADIENE (April 1982) Most of the world's butadiene is obtained as a coproduct of ethyl- ene, especially by the steam cracking of naphtha or gas oil. When there is not sufficient co-product butadiene available, supplies can be supplemented by material made by the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butenes. Regardless of the source, the butadiene must be separated from other C4 hydrocarbons (mainly butane and butenes). Rxtractive distillation is the major separation process in current usem This report coataius process descriptions, capital investment esti- mates, and production cost estimates for the Petro-Tex oxidative dehydrogenation process to produce butadiene frox n-butenes and for the three extractive distillation processes that are presently available for licensing in the United States. The extractive distillation pro- cesses are the Nippon Zeon process (dimethylfornisxidesolvent), the BASP process (N-methyl pyrrolidone solvent), and the Union Carbide pro- cess (dixethylacetsxide solvent). All estimates are for a production rate of 50,000 metric toss per year of butadiene. PRP '80 CRR SUPPLEMENT B by GRANT E.

  • N,N-Dimethylformamide
    N,N-Dimethylformamide 68-12-2 Hazard Summary Dimethylformamide is used as an industrial solvent and in the production of fibers, films, and surface coatings. Acute (short-term) exposure to dimethylformamide has been observed to damage the liver in animals and in humans. Symptoms of acute exposure in humans include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, alcohol intolerance, and rashes. Chronic (long-term) occupational exposure to dimethylformamide by inhalation has resulted in effects on the liver and digestive disturbances in workers. Human studies suggested a possible association between dimethylformamide exposure and testicular cancer, but further studies failed to confirm this relationship. EPA has not classified dimethylformamide with respect to its carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (4), which contains information on inhalation chronic toxicity of dimethylformamide and the RfC, and EPA's Health and Environmental Effects Profile for N,N-Dimethylformamide. (2) Uses Dimethylformamide is primarily used as an industrial solvent. Dimethylformamide solutions are used to process polymer fibers, films, and surface coatings; to permit easy spinning of acrylic fibers; to produce wire enamels, and as a crystallization medium in the pharmaceutical industry. (2) Sources and Potential Exposure Individuals are most likely to be exposed to dimethylformamide in the workplace. (1) Dimethylformamide has been detected in the effluents from a sewage treatment plant and industrial plant. (2) Assessing Personal Exposure The measurement of a metabolite of dimethylformamide, methyl formamide, in urine has been recommended as a guide to monitor exposure. (3) Health Hazard Information Acute Effects: Acute exposure to dimethylformamide has been observed to damage the liver in animal studies and in humans.

Henkelman, and Allen J. Bard* Center for Electrochemistry, Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 has been studied extensively and produces a number of products. The initial reaction in the CO2 reduction is often taken to be the 1e formation of the radical anion, CO •−. However, the electrochemical detection and •− 2 •− characterization of CO2 is challenging because of the short lifetime of CO2 , which can dimerize and react with proton donors and even mild oxidants. Here, we report the generation •− and quantitative determination of CO2 in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with the tip generation/substrate collection (TG/SC) mode of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). CO2 was reduced at a hemisphere-shaped Hg/Pt ultramicroelectrode (UME) or a fi •− Hg/Au lm UME, which were utilized as the SECM tips. The CO2 produced can either dimerize to form oxalate within the nanogap between SECM tip and substrate or collected at ffi •− SECM substrate (e.g., an Au UME). The collection e ciency (CE) for CO2 depends on the distance (d) between the tip and substrate. The dimerization rate (6.0 × 108 M−1 s−1) and half-life (10 ns) of CO •− can be evaluated by fitting the collection efficiency vs distance curve. The 2 •− dimerized species of CO2 , oxalate, can also be determined quantitatively.
