The destabilization approach for SiO 2 -doped LiBH 4 hydrogen storage composite is identified as 4LiBH 4 + 2SiO 2 → Li 4 SiO 4 + 4B + Si + 8H 2, and Li 4 SiO 4 is the thermodynamic obstacle for its reverse action. TiF 3 was doped in the composite for avoiding the formation of Li 4 SiO 4 and thus enhancing the reversib…

Crystalline Pt nanoparticles were electrolessly deposited on poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The density and uniformity of Pt nanoparticles on MWNTs were found dependent on the PAA grafting density, while their morphologies were tailored by the addition of NO 3 − and Cu 2+ ions.…

Activities of vacancy defects in carbon nanotubes have been directly monitored by in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy at elevated temperatures. Adatom-vacancy pair defects are first prolific due to the knock-on damage, and then the induced vacancies indeed grow up to 1-2 nm in the size by the foll…

The four-step, double-autocatalytic mechanism for transition-metal nanocluster nucleation, growth, and agglomeration described previously has been found to be more general; specifically, the four-step mechanism is shown to apply to the reduction of five transition metals that were examined—Pt, Ru, Ir, Rh, and Pd—under…

Self-consistent-field theory is used to predict the center-of-mass distribution of spherical nanoparticles embedded in the lamellar phase of a diblock copolymer melt. The calculation is performed in the dilute limit, where the particle−particle interactions have a negligible effect on the distribution. We investigate…

Zigzag graphene nanoribbons with saturated edges are investigated by first principles calculations. In these structures edge carbons have either two H or two F atoms, and are of sp(3) type. Compared to the previously studied ribbons with all carbons of sp(2) type, several similarities and differences are found. Specif…

The effect of side chain to charge ratio on the frictional properties of adsorbed layers formed by bottle-brush polyelectrolytes with poly(ethylene oxide) side chains has been investigated. The brush polyelectrolytes were preadsorbed from 0.1 mM NaNO(3) solutions onto mica and silica surfaces; the interfacial friction…

Using a peptide amphiphile having a bulky photolabile 2-nitrobenzyl group between the alkyl chain and the peptide segment, we demonstrated quadruple helical fiber formation and its dissociation into single fibrils in response to light. Putting the bulky group close to the core of a fibril is thought to induce a distor…

Thermophysical properties were investigated for zirconium diboride (ZrB 2 ) and ZrB 2 –30 vol% silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics. Thermal conductivities were calculated from measured thermal diffusivities, heat capacities, and densities. The thermal conductivity of ZrB 2 increased from 56 W (m K) −1 at room temperature t…
