In the present work, ZSM-11 zeolite was synthesized using the seed-assisted method and the proposed template of N,N-diethylaniline was used as a structure directing agent. Synthesized zeolite was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM and BET analysis. Oxide of intermediate metals of molybdenum, va...

Series of V-Ce and Cu-V-Ce oxides with different atomic ratios were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation of a ceria support. These solids were studied by TG–DTA in the oxidation of a model soot (carbon black (CB) Degussa N330). V-Ce oxides are active in the carbon black oxidation and ...

This paper presents the performance of a vanadium–cerium redox flow battery using conventional and zero-gap serpentine architectures. Mixed-acid solutions based on methanesulfonate-sulfate anions (molar ratio 3:1) are used to enhance the solubilities of the vanadium (>2.0 mol dm−3) and cerium s...

Vanadium pentoxide has been the subject of many works owing to its capacity to host large amounts of lithium. Many studies where V2O5 has been mixed with different transparent oxides, such as CeO2, ZrO2, TiO2, have been performed in order to preserve the ion-storage capacity and compensate the u...

This paper aims at designing a simple corrosion resistant vanadium based conversion coating for high strength 2024 aluminum alloy. First, to achieve highest anti-corrosion performance of vanadium conversion coating, process parameters such as vanadium salt concentration (5, 7.5, 10 g/l), solutio...

The effect of of V2O5 additions (up to 8 mol%) on the physical properties (e.g., density, glass transition temperature and refractive indices) and mechanical behaviors (e.g., hardness, fracture toughness, elastic modulus) of a soda-lime borosilicate glass with a composition of 60.2SiO2-16.0B2O3-...

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the cerium, gallium and vanadium-containing bioactive borate glass scaffolds for soft tissue applications and determine the potential toxicity of these scaffolds on the adjacent tissues. The effects of the cerium, gallium and vanadium substitution...

Outdoor or indoor ozone pollution recently regains the attentions due to new findings on its risk even at very low level. The room-temperature catalytic material is key to abate indoor ozone pollution. Here we prepared a series of vanadium-doped MnO2 (V-MnO2) via a one-step hydrothermal redox re...

Mixed oxide thin films of cerium and vanadium were obtained by chemical bath method from Ce(NO3)3 and 6H2O, NH4VO3 with distilled water as solvent in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as surfactant and dip coated on non-conducting quartz substrate. The optical, structural and morphologic...

A new emulsification method using a liquid crystalline phase of an ionic surfactant, l-arginine β-branched monoalkyl phosphate (R6R10MP-1Arg), which is hardly affected by temperature, has been developed. In this method, a dispersed phase (oil) is added to the liquid crystalline phase to form a ...

GPR40, also known as free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1), is a member of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) family and has emerged as an attractive target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. So far, most of the synthetic GPR40 agonists, including several drug candidates discontinued in...

Two new series of compounds were designed and synthesized as potent PARP-1 inhibitors. These compounds were evaluated for PARP-1 enzyme and cellular inhibitory activities. All efforts lead to the identification of 9k (named as LG-12) with efficient potency both for PARP-1 and BRCA1 deficient MDA...

The carbosilanes RMe2Si(CH2)xSiH3, [R = 2-Th (1a, 2a), 4-Me-2-Th (3a, 4a), 2-Fu (5a, 6a), 5-Me-2-Fu (7a, 8a); x = 2 and 3], with primary SiH3 end groups undergo a facile dehydropolymerization under ambient conditions (50 °C, 48 h) in presence of Cp2TiCl2/2.2 n-BuLi catalyst to afford the corres...
