Iron doped BiOBr loaded on carbon spheres for improved visible-light-driven detoxification of 2-chloroethyl sulfide

Abstract

In this study, flower-like porous iron doped bismuth oxybromide@porous activated carbon (BiOBr/Fe@AC) visible light catalysts were prepared by using a series of reactive imidazole ionic liquid surfactants assisted solvothermal process....

Unusual Increasing Viscoelasticity of Wormlike Micelles Composed of Imidazolium Gemini Surfactants with Temperature

“…Wormlike micelles are long, cylindrical aggregates of surfactants, which have aroused great interest among scientists over the past 20 years due to their widespread use in industry and daily life. − These wormlike micelles usually entangle each other to form a transient network that imparts viscoelasticity to the solution. , The physical interactions among the wormlike micelles constantly break and reform, changing with the temperature and solution composition. − The change of the viscoelasticity of wormlike micelles with temperature has many advantages, such as the ease of temperature control and adjustment without the need for additives and easy preparation according to the change of the solubility of the surfactant at different temperatures or different interfacial activities. Normally, with increasing temperature, the mean micellar length of wormlike micelles exponentially decreases .…”
