Catalytic reaction pathways of NH 3 on CuO/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts during NH 3 selective catalytic reduction reactions were investigated under oxygen-rich conditions. On 10 wt % CuO/γ-Al 2 O 3, NH 3 reacted with oxygen to produce NO x . In contrast, on the 0.5 wt % CuO/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, NH 3 reacted primarily with NO…

Although natural silk fibers have excellent strength and flexibility, the regenerated silk materials generally become brittle in the dry state. How to reconstruct the flexibility for silk fibroin has bewildered scientists for many years. In the present study, the flexible regenerated silk fibroin films were achieved b…

Abstract Colloidal self‐assembly provides one promising route to fabricate spatially periodic meta‐materials with novel properties important to a number of emerging technologies. However, colloidal assembly is generally initiated via irreversible step‐changes and proceeds along unspecified, non‐equilibrium kinetic pat…

With increased interest in semiconductor nanoparticles for use in quantum dot solar cells there comes a need to understand the long-term photostability of such materials. Colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were suspended in toluene and stored in combinations of light/dark and N 2 /O 2 to simulate four possible benchtop…

The nature of CO adsorption on Pd(n)/TiO(2)(110) (n = 1, 2, 7, 20) has been examined using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), temperature-dependent helium ion scattering (TD-ISS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All samples contain the same number of Pd atoms (0.10 ML-equivalent) deposited as differe…

Light, (CCD) camera, action! Time-resolved synchrotron X-ray scattering measurements revealed that linear polarized light (LPL) caused reorientation of phase-separated mesoscopic amorphous cylinders within a light-responsive liquid crystalline (LC) matrix domain of a diblock copolymer (see scheme). Cooperative and syn…

Abstract Combinations of different common flame retardants in wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are tested to identify synergistic or antagonistic effects with the goal of improving the fire performance of WPCs. Flame retardants investigated are expandable graphite (EG), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and red phosphorus (…

Single crystals of doped aniline oligomers are produced via a simple solution-based self-assembly method. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that crystals of different morphologies and dimensions can be produced by a "bottom-up" hierarchical assembly where structures such as one-dimensional (1-D) nanofibers can be ag…

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are strips of graphene cut along a specific direction that feature peculiar electronic and optical properties owing to lateral confinement effects. We show here by means of (time-dependent) density functional theory calculations that GNRs with properly designed edge structures fulfill the r…

It is demonstrated that for classical perovskites such as BaTiO3, SrTiO3 and PbTiO3 electrostrictive strain induced by an electric field may not obey traditionally considered "extension along the field, contraction perpendicular to it" behavior if a sample is cut obliquely to the cubic crystallographic directions.

Surfaces may be rendered superhydrophobic by engineering the surface morphology to control the extent of the liquid-air interface and by the use of low-surface-energy coatings. The droplet state on a superhydrophobic surface under static and dynamic conditions may be explained in terms of the relative magnitudes of th…

The toroidal response is numerically investigated in a multifold double-ring metamaterials at the antibonding magnetic-dipole mode (i.e., antiparallel magnetic dipoles in one double-ring fold). This intriguing toroidal resonance in metamaterials is considered as a result of the magnetoelectric effect due to the broken…

Abstract Interfacial oxidation–reduction reaction is herein developed to prepare hollow binary oxide nanostructures. Ce–Mn nanotubes are fabricated by treating Ce(OH)CO 3 templates with KMnO 4 aqueous solution, where MnO 4 − is reduced to manganese oxide and the Ce 3+ in Ce(OH)CO 3 is simultaneously oxidized to form c…

Inevitable variations in size and composition within nanocrystal ensembles affect their optical absorbance as revealed by effective medium theory calculations.

Spectral character of dielectric response in CaCu3Ti4O12 across 0.5Hz-4MHz over 45-200K corresponding to neither the Debyean nor the KWW relaxation patterns rather indicates a random-walk like diffusive dynamics of moments. Non-linear relaxation here is due to the many body dipole-interactions, as confirmed by spectra…

We derive a new effective macroscopic Cahn-Hilliard equation whose homogeneous free energy is represented by 4-th order polynomials, which form the frequently applied double-well potential. This upscaling is done for perforated/strongly het- erogeneous domains. To the best knowledge of the authors, this seems to be th…

Anatase TiO(2) nanocrystals have been organized into high-surface-area (150-230 m(2) g(-1)) mesoporous films with long-range chiral nematic ordering. The chiral structure of the anatase films causes them to selectively reflect circularly polarized light and appear iridescent. These materials show replication of struct…
