Abstract
Reactions induced by ionizing radiation in LAPONITE-XLG nanoclay hydrogel were investigated and compared with those in alkaline aqueous solutions using ns-pulse radiolysis. The LAPONITE concentration did not affect the decay rate of hydrated electrons in 1 and 2 wt% hydrogel. The scavenging of hydrated electrons by pyridine was examined in 2 wt% hydrogel, and was consistent with the reaction in aqueous solution. The absence of a “cage-effect” or adsorption effect for pyridine or pyridinium was found. This suggests that LAPONITE behaves as an inert material on condition that solute adsorption does not occur.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
