Redispersion of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) on ceria is an important route for catalyst regeneration and antisintering. Here, we investigate the redispersion of Pt on ceria nanoparticles with defined surface planes including cubes ({100}) and octahedra ({111}). It is observed that Pt redispersion takes place only…

BACKGROUND: Both intrinsic contrast (T₁ and T₂ relaxation and the equilibrium magnetization) and contrast agent (gadolinium)-enhanced MRI are used to visualize and evaluate acute radiofrequency ablation lesions. However, current methods are imprecise in delineating lesion extent shortly after the ablation. METHODS AND…

Dual-phase ceramic membranes with very high oxygen flux have been designed by taking into account the volume fraction of the fluorite phase, membrane thickness, and surface modification. The oxygen flux of Ce 0.9 Gd 0.1 O 2−δ –La 0.6 Sr 0.4 Co 0.2 Fe 0.8 O 3−δ (GDC–LSCF) dual-phase membranes has been systematically in…

Microgel particles display an interesting duality with properties attributed typically both to polymeric and colloidal systems. When adsorbed at a liquid‐liquid interface, this duality becomes particularly apparent as the various phenomena at play are governed by different aspects of these soft and responsive particle…

The thermal boundary conductance across solid-solid interfaces can be affected by the physical properties of the solid boundary. Atomic composition, disorder, and bonding between materials can result in large deviations in the phonon scattering mechanisms contributing to thermal boundary conductance. Theoretical and c…

The effects of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), ZnO microparticles (MPs), and zinc ions (Zn2+) on some growth parameters of rapeseed (Brassica napus) seedlings have been studied. The growth inhibition by ZnO NPs was not stronger than that by ZnO MPs while treatment with Zn2+ inhibition was clearly stronger.

Inspired by our theoretical finding that C₂Al₆(2-) has a planar D₂h minimum with two planar tetracoordinate carbons (ptCs), we computationally designed a new two-dimensional (2D) inorganic material, an Al₂C monolayer. All carbons in this monolayer are ptC's, stabilized inductively by binding to four electropositive Al…
