▪ Abstract A vapor explosion results from the rapid and intense heat transfer that may follow contact between a hot liquid and a cold, more volatile one. Because it can happen during severe-accident sequences of a nuclear power plan, that is, when a large part of the core is molten, vapor explosions have been widely s…

The (photo)electrochemical behavior of n‐GaN[0001] in various aqueous solutions was studied using rotating‐disk voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and electrical impedance measurements. It was found that the bandedges of the semiconductor shift over 60 mV/pH unit, indicating acid‐base equilibria at the interface. In and…

The cyclic voltammetric responses and capacitive behavior of single‐walled carbon nanotube sheets or papers are described. Broad redox responses have been observed in aqueous solutions that are probably due to the presence of oxygen‐containing groups bound to the surface of the nanotubes or to the impurities produced…

The interactions between PEO-based templates and metallic centres are key in the synthesis of mesostructured materials. In low-water-content media, strong chelation between metal centres and the non-ionic polar heads leads to polymer unfolding, and thus to worm-like phases. Larger quantities of water and acid added to…
