  2. Fuel surrogate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_surrogate

    [citation needed] Jet fuel is an example of a fuel requiring a surrogate for experimental research and numerical modelling due to its complexity and high content variability from one batch to the next. [1] [non-primary source needed] Neat hydrocarbon jet fuel surrogate components include decane, dodecane, methylcyclohexane, and toluene.

  3. Ionophore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionophore

    Carrier and channel ionophores (a) Carrier ionophores reversibly bind ions and carry them through cell membranes. (b) Channel ionophores create channels within cell membranes to facilitate the transport of ions. In chemistry, an ionophore (from Greek ion and -phore 'ion carrier') is a chemical species that reversibly binds ions. [1]

  4. Chain propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_propagation

    In chemistry, chain propagation (sometimes just referred to as propagation) is a process in which a reactive intermediate is continuously regenerated during the course of a chemical chain reaction. For example, in the chlorination of methane, there is a two-step propagation cycle involving as chain carriers a chlorine atom and a methyl radical ...

  5. Liquid organic hydrogen carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Liquid_organic_hydrogen_carrier

    An alternative, innovative and highly promising approach to convert LOHC-bound hydrogen into electricity is proposed recently. [1] The new unloading sequence consists of an almost thermoneutral catalysed transfer hydrogenation step converting ketone to secondary alcohol by contacting hydrogen-rich carrier (H18-DBT), and the secondary alcohol is then directly consumed in a PEMFC (direct ...

  6. Auxochrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxochrome

    Examples include the hydroxyl (−OH), amino (−NH 2), aldehyde (−CHO), and methyl mercaptan groups (−SCH 3). [ 2 ] An auxochrome is a functional group of atoms with one or more lone pairs of electrons when attached to a chromophore, alters both the wavelength and intensity of absorption .

  7. Catalyst support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyst_support

    In chemistry, a catalyst support or carrier is a material, usually a solid with a high surface area, to which a catalyst is affixed. [1] The activity of heterogeneous catalysts is mainly promoted by atoms present at the accessible surface of the material. Consequently, great effort is made to maximize the specific surface area of a catalyst ...

  8. Coprecipitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprecipitation

    In chemistry, coprecipitation (CPT) or co-precipitation is the carrying down by a precipitate of substances normally soluble under the conditions employed. [1] Analogously, in medicine, coprecipitation (referred to as immunoprecipitation) is specifically "an assay designed to purify a single antigen from a complex mixture using a specific antibody attached to a beaded support".

  9. Sulfur monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_monoxide

    The SO molecule has a triplet ground state similar to O 2 and S 2, that is, each molecule has two unpaired electrons. [2] The S−O bond length of 148.1 pm is similar to that found in lower sulfur oxides (e.g. S 8 O, S−O = 148 pm) but is longer than the S−O bond in gaseous S 2 O (146 pm), SO 2 (143.1 pm) and SO 3 (142 pm).
