With the fast exhaustion of fossil fuels, the need for new energy storage materials to meet the world's massive energy demand has inclined tremendously. Inorganic components with conducting polymer based...
A new organic nonlinear optical material adenosinium picrate (C10H14N5O4+, C6 H2 N3 O7-) was synthesized. The single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed the non-centrosymmetric crystal structure, which is an essential criterion for second harmonic generation. The crystalline nature of the grown crystals was confirmed using powder XRD techniques. Molecular structure was confirmed by NMR spectral analysis and functional groups were identified by FT-IR spectral analysis. The optical transmittance window and the lower cutoff wavelength of the AP have been identified by UV-vis-NIR studies. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to study its thermal properties. Powder test with Nd:YAG laser radiation shows second harmonic generation.
The inhibition efficiency of L-Arginine-Zn 2+ system in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in sea water has been evaluated by the weight-loss method. The formulation consisting of 250 ppm of L-Arginine and 25 ppm of Zn 2+ has 91% IE. A synergistic effect exists between L-Arginine and Zn 2+ . Polarization study reveals that the L-Arginine-Zn 2+ system functions as an anodic inhibitor and the formulation controls the anodic reaction predominantly. AC impedance spectra reveal that protective film is formed on the metal surface. Cyclic voltammetry study reveals that the protective film is more compact and stable even in a 3.5% NaCl environment. The nature of the protective film on a metal surface has been analyzed by FTIR, SEM, and AFM analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
