Zeolite adsorbents were evaluated for potential application in post-combustion CO2 capture using a new high-throughput gas adsorption instrument capable of measuring 28 samples in parallel. Among the zeolites tested, Ca-A exhibits the highest CO2 uptake (3 ...
The ultimate control over chain self-assembly is key to unravel and optimize the relationship between film microstructure and charge carrier mobility in solution processable conjugated polymer semiconductors. Here we employ preparatory size exclusion chrom ...
Active control of ion transport plays important roles in chemical and biological analytical processes. Nanofluidic systems hold the promise for such control through electrostatic interaction between ions and channel surfaces. Most existing experiments rely ...
We explore the local electronic signatures of molecular adsorption at coordinatively unsaturated binding sites in the metal-organic framework Mg-MOF-74 using X-ray spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. In situ measurements at the Mg K-edge reveal ...
Recent nanomedical applications have again highlighted the significance of silica surface chemistry in solution. Here, we report in situ electronic structure measurements at the silica-aqueous interface as a function of pH for nanoparticles (NPs) of 7, 12, ...
The presence of H2O in postcombustion gas streams is an important technical issue for deploying CO2-selective adsorbents. Because of its permanent dipole, H2O can interact strongly with materials where the selectivity for CO2 is a consequence of its quadru ...
Large-scale simulations of aluminosilicate zeolites were conducted to identify structures that possess large CO2 uptake for postcombustion carbon dioxide capture. In this study, we discovered that the aluminosilicate zeolite structures with the highest CO2 ...
Organic and biological macromolecules have attracted great interest within nanotechnology research due to properties that can be useful in future devices. Interesting functionalities such as optical activity, host-guest binding and molecular recognition ar ...
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are commonly used to obtain adsorption properties of gas molecules inside porous materials. In this work, we discuss various optimization strategies that lead to faster MC simulations with CO 2 gas molecules inside host zeolite ...
The toxicity of two types of ultra-small zeolites (8–18 nm) with LTL- and EMT-type structures is reported. Both the LTL- and EMT-type zeolites belong to the same group of molecular sieves; they have large pores (7.1–7.5 Å) and low silica content (Si/Al = 1 ...
