We report that a series of lanthanide-based bulk metallic glasses show a pressure-induced polyamorphic phase transition observed by in situ angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction under high pressures. The transition started from a low-density state at lower pressures, and went through continuous densification ending with…

Abstract Olefin hydroformylation is a widely used process, both on large scales and in fine chemistry, with catalyst reuse still being one of the main objectives. In recent years, developments in the immobilization of catalysts on solid supports that enable their recovery and reuse when applied in catalytic hydroformy…

Oil-in-water nanoemulsions were produced in the system water/Span 80-Tween 80/paraffin oil via the phase inversion composition (PIC) method at elevated temperature. With the increase of preparation temperature from 20 to 70 °C, we found that the emulsion droplet diameter decreases from 10.3 μm to 51 nm, proving the fo…

Surface treatment by decyl-phosphonic acid (DPA) reduces the recombination and increases the open circuit voltage and the fill factor of the inorganic–organic Sb2S3 hetrojunction solar cell. It is revealed that the DPA attaches to both surfaces, the uncovered TiO2 surface and the Sb2S3 surface. This cell produces a po…
