“…EMD prepared in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or sodium n-dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) has also been reported and found suitable for battery applications. [23] The positive effect of use of CTAB and SDBS on the performance of Zn-MnO 2 alkaline batteries has been reported earlier. [23] Triton X-100 is reported [21] to offer the best improvement in capacitance behavior of EMD, possibly due to strong adsorption of the surfactant, resulting in an increase in specific capacitance of the energy storage device.…”

“…Use of surfactants during preparation of materials for battery applications has been widely reported in the literature. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Surfactants may be used during chemical co-precipitation, [18,19] liquid co-precipitation, [20] as well as electrochemical deposition methods. [21,22] Ghaemi et al [22] have reported improved charge/discharge cycle behavior of EMD prepared in the presence of t-octyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol (Triton X-100).…”

The effect of non-ionic surface active agents (surfactants) Triton X-100 (TX-100) and and their role in potassium intercalation in electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) produced from manganese cake has been investigated. Electrosynthesis of MnO 2 in the absence or presence of surfactant was carried out from acidic MnSO 4 solution obtained from manganese cake under optimized conditions. A range of characterization techniques, including field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Rutherford back scattering (RBS), and BET surface area/porosity studies, was carried out to determine the structural and chemical characteristics of the EMD. Galvanostatic (discharge) and potentiostatic (cyclic voltammetric) studies were employed to evaluate the suitability of EMD in combination with KOH electrolyte for alkaline battery applications. The presence of surfactant played an important role in modifying the physicochemical properties of the EMD by increasing the surface area of the material and hence, enhancing its electrochemical performance. The TEM and RBS analyses of the discharged EMD (c-MnO 2 ) material showed clear evidence of potassium intercalation or at least the formation of a film on the MnO 2 surface. The extent of intercalation was greater for EMD deposited in the presence of TX-100. Discharged MnO 2 showed products of Mn 2+ intermediates such as MnOOH and Mn 3 O 4 .

“…Among the surfactants studied by Ghaemi et al [17], Triton X-100 is reported to most improve the charge/discharge cycle behavior of EMD, possibly due to strong adsorption of the surfactant resulting in an increase in charge acceptance capability and current efficiency (CE). The effect of the use of CTAB and SDBS on the performance of Zn-MnO 2 alkaline batteries has also been reported, and the results are equally good [18].…”

“…Ghaemi et al [17] have reported that electrolytic MnO2 prepared in the laboratory in the absence of surfactant does not have properties appropriate for battery applications. On the other hand, the electrochemical behavior of EMD prepared in the presence of surfactants-namely, t-octyl phenoxy polyethoxyethanol (Triton X-100), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), or sodium n-dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS)-is suitable for battery applications [18]. Among the surfactants studied by Ghaemi et al [17], Triton X-100 is reported to most improve the charge/discharge cycle behavior of EMD, possibly due to strong adsorption of the surfactant resulting in an increase in charge acceptance capability and current efficiency (CE).…”

“…Based on these potential risks, the aggregation and stability in environment needs to be investigated. Surfactants are organic compounds consisting of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions, and have been widely used in improvement of the wetting ability, emulsifying, and the inhibiting properties of electrodeposition process, etc [3].…”

Abstract. In order to understanding of the fate and transport of TiO 2 nanoparticles (Nps) in the water treatment process, this study focus on the particle surface characteristics and coagulation process at different anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) concentration, using aluminum sulfate (AS) as a coagulant. Malvern Zetasizer nano-ZS measure the changes of zeta potential of TiO 2 Nps mixture and coagulation of flocs (Alu-TiO 2 ). Jar tests are conducted to evaluate the effect of surfactant on removal efficiency of TiO 2 NPs. Experimental results indicated that the adsorption of CTAB on TiO 2 Nps resulte in more positively charged surface. SDBS is more easily adsorbed on the surface of positively charged Alu-TiO 2 flocs. The presence of SDBS or CTAB have disadvantage of the removal of TiO 2 Nps during the coagulation process.
