Example 3
An alcohol solution of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (conc.: 25 wt %, manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich Co., Ltd.) is obtained.
Gold nanoparticles having dodecanethiol surrounding a surface thereof (manufactured from Ocean nanotech Co., Ltd.) are dispersed in chloroform, and a Cu grid is immersed in the resulting dispersion to form a monolayer of gold nanoparticles on the Cu grid. The alcohol solution of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide is applied onto the nanoparticles by adding the solution by drops thereto. The nanoparticles having the solution applied thereto are heated to 150° C. in air or in an inert gas atmosphere.
The nanoparticles prior to and after the treatment are subjected to transmission electron microscopic analysis using a TEM instrument (FEI/TECNAI F20 G2 200 kV), and the results are shown in

Synthesis of Tetramethylammonium Octanoate Electrolyte
Example 9
A custom IL electrolyte was prepared for use in an electrochemical decarboxylation process to convert the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid into longer chain hydrocarbon dimers. The dimers produced can be used as a solvent or can be further processed for other applications such as fuels or lubricants. The IL electrolyte consisted of a tetramethylammonium cation and a carboxylate anion. The carboxylate anion was the same carboxylate that was being decarboxylated to form the hydrocarbon dimer.
The IL electrolyte was prepared by reacting tetramethylammonium hydroxide and octanoic acid. The octanoic acid and the tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (25% in H2O, Sigma Aldrich) were slowly mixed together. The tetramethylammonium hydroxide was measured out to contain an equivalent number of moles to the octanoic acid. These were mixed at room temperature to allow for complete neutralization of the acid and base. This mixture was evaporated at 40° C. under vacuum until all the water had been removed. Following the evaporation of water, the final product of tetramethylammonium octanoate was obtained. This was found to melt at 100° C. and be stable to the addition of additional sodium octanoate needed to be used as an electrolyte.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
