A series of boron-doped (B-doped) catalysts with dissimilar mass ratios of boric acid and activated carbon (AC) were prepared by an impregnation method for acetylene acetoxylation. The introduction of a number of boron atoms activates the stable π electrons in AC, which not only enhances the electron transfer between…

Our previous studies demonstrated that rare-earth oxycarbonates Ln 2 O 2 CO 3 (Ln = La, Nd, and Sm) and rare-earth oxides Ln 2 O 3 (Ln = Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, and Yb) are sensitive to CO 2 and that hexagonal La 2 O 2 CO 3 is the best among them in terms of sensitivity, stability, and selectivity. In this study, we have…

Abstract Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is a unique method that is developed for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate the climate change. In CLC, an oxygen carrier is used to convert the fuel and the produced CO2 is inherently separated from air components, which makes it suitable for CCS. The CLC of biomas…

Carbon nanofiber (CNF) nanocatalyst hybrids hold great promise in fields such as energy storage, synthetic chemistry, and sensors. Current strategies to generate such hybrids are laborious and utterly incompatible with miniaturization and large-scale production. Instead, this work demonstrates that Ni nanoparticles em…

A novel resonator-based metasurface is devised to control reflected underwater waves. Each metasurface unit is constructed with an aluminum plate attached to a lead mass. By tailoring the thickness of the plate, full 2π phase shift of the reflected wave can be achieved. Examples of redirection, focusing, and direction…

Abstract In fuel cell catalyst layers (CLs), the ionomer plays roles as a binder and proton conductor. The ionomer requires hydration for enabling proton transport; however, the accumulation of excess liquid water in CL pores hinders oxygen diffusion. Therefore, a key to the improvement of CLs is understanding the dis…

Corals are the ecosystem engineers of coral reefs, one of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems. The ability of corals to form reefs depends on the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) under biological control. However, several mechanisms underlying coral biomineralization remain elusive, for example, whether co…

General chemistry knowledge will intuitively predict that a stronger reducing agent will result in a faster reduction reaction. The present work, however, shows the counterintuitive role of reducing agents in a model reaction of gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-catalyzed reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) by sodium borohydride…
