  • Publication number: 20160002531
    Abstract: A method for preparing a hybrid inorganic-organic nanostructured inhibitive pigment, includes premixing a first stock solution containing one or more cations and a second stock solution containing one or more oxoanions to form a premixture under pH control in the presence of polymers as surface modifiers. The premixture is then reacted to form a slurry. The slurry is then quenched to separate nanoparticles from the slurry, followed by surface functionalization in organic inhibitors.

  • Patent number: 8309264
    Abstract: A bipolar plate (30) for use in a fuel cell stack (10) includes one or more first metal layers (40a) having a tendency to grow an electrically passive layer in the presence of a fuel cell reactant gas and one or more second metal layers (40b) directly adjacent the one or more first metal layers (40a). The second metal layer has a tendency to resist growing any oxide layer in the presence of the fuel cell reactant gas to maintain a threshold electrical conductivity. The second metal layer also has a section for contacting an electrode (12, 14) and providing an electrically conductive path between the electrode (12, 14) and the first metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20120165532
    Abstract: This invention, which belongs to the field of organic synthesis, involves “One-step synthetic method of 2,9-dimethyl-1,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline”. This method uses O-phenylenediamine and formula III to react under the condition of mixed-shrinking agent, the synthesis can be completed in one step, the stated mixed-shrinking agent is mixture of hydrochloric acid and organic acid. The organic acid serves as phase transfer catalyst and shrinking agent, meanwhile, as buffer reagent, organic acid reduces polymerization of III, and side products as well. The products gained are of high purity and the reaction is mild and easy to control. Since there is no polluting material added and generated, the waste is safe to discharge. In the after treatment of reaction, ketone solvent is used to reduce separation step and product lost, thus improving yield.

  • Publication number: 20120071695
    Abstract: This invention, which involves synthetic method of 5, 5- dimethyl-2, 4-adipaldehyde-0, 0-Boron difluoride, belongs to the field of organic synthesis. Synthetic method of 5, 5-dimethyl-2, 4-adipaldehyde-0, 0-Boron difluoride is to react pinacolone and boron trifluoride diethyl ether at low temperature, and then add aqueous alkaline solution in after treatment to extract product from ether, after that, separate fluid, condense organic phase and final product is obtained. Yield of this method is 2 to 3 times higher than that in literature, and apart from that, mild reaction condition, simple procedures, easy operation, and low cost make it easy for industrial production. The product can be used directly in next step reaction without any special purification.
