    Abstract: Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds that are widely used in various technological fields and biological systems. In many of these applications, mixtures of amphiphiles in organic solvents are employed for better performance The work aims at establishing the extent of ideality or otherwise in the mixed micelles of n-alkyl trimethylammonium bromide...

    Abstract: For the next generation Li-battery anode materials LiFePO4, the forming of the solid solution phase LixFePO4 and the related charge/discharge mechanism are the high light topics recently. In the paper, ab-initio calculation was applied to study the formation and electronic structure of the solid solution of LixFePO4, and a Charge/Discharge model of... Show More

    Abstract: Thermochemical properties of fluorinated alcohols are needed for understanding their stability and reactions in the environment and in thermal process. Structures and thermochemical properties of these species were determined by the Gaussian M-062x/6-31+g (d,p) calculation. Contributions of entropy, S°298, and heat capacities, Cp(T) due to vibratio... Show More
