The Colonization of Land02:22

The Colonization of Land

37.5K
Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Instrumentation

2.9K
High-performance liquid chromatography, or HPLC, is an analytical technique that separates liquid samples under high pressures. An HPLC instrument consists of glass bottles for storing solvents called mobile phase reservoirs. HPLC-grade solvents are used to maintain high purity, and the dissolved gases are removed using a degasser, such as a vacuum pumping system or sparging with helium. The solvents are then pumped into the analytical column using a screw-driven syringe or reciprocating pumps.

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

38.4K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Common Ion Effect

46.2K
Compared with pure water, the solubility of an ionic compound is less in aqueous solutions containing a common ion (one also produced by dissolution of the ionic compound). This is an example of a phenomenon known as the common ion effect, which is a consequence of the law of mass action that may be explained using Le Châtelier’s principle. Consider the dissolution of silver iodide:

Area of Science:

  • Surface Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Ion soft landing is crucial for fabricating molecular layers with controlled properties.
  • Existing methods face challenges in preserving ion integrity and achieving charge balance during deposition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel apparatus for ion soft landing research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a new instrument featuring dual polarity electrospray ionization (ESI), tandem electrodynamic ion funnels, a collisional flatapole, quadrupole mass filter, and focusing lens.
  • Employed layer-by-layer (LBL) and fast polarity switching modes for ion deposition.
  • Investigated the use of weakly coordinating anions to protect deposited cations.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the production of ionic layers via soft landing of mass-selected ions under balanced or imbalanced charge conditions.
  • Provided the first evidence of using weakly coordinating anions to protect protons on soft-landed cations.
