Oxidation of toluene was catalyzed by bare and TiO 2 -covered NiO-Ni(OH) 2 nanoparticles under humid air. For deposition of TiO 2, atomic layer deposition was used. Bare NiO-Ni(OH) 2 showed a significantly high activity for toluene oxidation. When TiO 2 islands were deposited on NiO, formation of CO 2 as a result of t…

A methylcyclohexane-toluene-hydrogen system employs methylcyclohexane as a recyclable organic hydride for the on-vehicle production, storage, and utilization of hydrogen gas. The success of the methylcyclohexane-toluene-hydrogen system lies in the success of the dehydrogenation reaction of methylcyclohexane. A highly…

Through vapor pressure measurements, water activities of the glycerol–water solution were first examined under temperatures of 30–85 °C and glycerol concentrations of 0–50 mol %. The water activity is the only determinant of phase-transition point among CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O (DH), α-CaSO 4 ·0.5H 2 O (α-HH), and CaSO 4 (AH) i…

The optical properties of PbSe/CdSe core/shell quantum dots with core sizes smaller than 4 nm in the 5-300 K range are reported. The photoluminescence spectra show two peaks, which become increasingly separated in energy as the core diameter is reduced below 4 nm. It is shown that these peaks are due to intrinsic exci…
