As the anhydride hydrolysis rate decreased roughly an order of magnitude per carbon number, the persistence factor increased roughly an order of magnitude per increase in carbon number.
The tabulation is arranged by carbon number (C, C2, C3, …).
Normal alkanes with even carbon number (NPEC) exhibited better anti-coking performance than those with adjacent odd carbon number (NPOC).
The findings demonstrated that, again, the highest carbon number anhydrides were selected (Supplementary Fig. 6d).
The relaxation rate increased as the oil carbon number decreased.
Short circuit current, fill factor and efficiency vary non-monotonically with aliphatic carbon number of alkyl chains and reach maximum value simultaneously when carbon number is six.
After the consumption of the fuel, we observed that the decay of the anhydrides was dependent on the carbon number.
The higher carbon number anhydrides hydrolyzed slower with a drastic increase of stability for the C6C6 (Fig. 1b).
The recovery of several (unchanged) model hydrocarbons was found to decrease with increasing carbon number.
In the process of wax deposition aging, wax molecules with carbon number higher than critical carbon number (CCN) would diffuse into the deposit, while those with carbon number less than CCN would diffuse out from the deposit during the experiments.
The increased persistence of the anhydrides by phase-separation suggests that in reaction networks, higher carbon number anhydrides could be competitively selected.
