Silica or SiO(2), the main constituent of Earth's rocks has several 3D complex crystalline and amorphous phases, but it does not have a graphitelike layered structure in 3D. Our theoretical analysis and numerical calculations from the first principles predict a single-layer honeycomblike allotrope, hα silica, which ca…

A step-growth polymerisation based on the formation of Tröger's base, performed by simple reaction of a suitable aromatic diamine monomer with dimethoxymethane in trifluoroacetic acid, provides polymers of high average molecular mass. The properties of the resulting polymers can be tailored by the choice of monomer. I…

In this study, we report a comprehensive assessment on the elastic and electronic properties of 792 possible MAX (Mn+1AXn) phases with n = 1–4 using ab initio methods. These crystals are then screened based on their elastic and thermodynamic stability resulting in a large database of 665 viable crystals. All the exper…

ABSTRACT As a newly emerged protocol for the synthesis of conjugated polymers, direct arylation polymerization (DArP) is an environmentally friendly and cost‐effective alternative to traditional methods of polymerization. DArP efficiently yields conjugated polymers with high yield and high molecular weight. However, D…

Single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide WSe2 has recently attracted a lot of attention because it is a 2D semiconductor with a direct band gap. Due to low doping levels, it is intrinsic and shows ambipolar transport. This opens up the possibility to realize devices with the Fermi level located in the valence band…

The deactivation pattern of a “model” Ni/MgO catalyst in the pre-reforming of n-hexane with steam (T, 450 °C; P, 5–15 bar) is reviewed. The influence of the steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C, 1.5–3.5) on the rate of catalyst fouling by coking is ascertained. Catalyst fouling leads to an exponential decay in activity, denotin…

Standing wave striations at frequencies below 400 kHz are observed in DC H2microplasma discharges at pressures up to 7.8 atm. Striations are observable in low-current (1-5 mA) discharges, with a passively stabilized external circuit. Striation spacing ranges from 17 to 34 μm, with higher pressure and lower current pro…
