Secondary Phase CeO2 Precipitates in Ce,Er-Doped Na0.5La0.5MoO4 Single Crystals Grown by Czochralski Method

Analytical scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to study the microstructure of Ce,Er-doped Na0.5La0.5MoO4 laser crystals. Crystals were grown by the Czochralski method from the melts with a nominal composition of Na0.5La0.5−xCexEr0.005Mo ...

(4+3) Annulation of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes and Azadienes: Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Azepanones

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai

Azepanes are important seven-membered heterocycles, which are present in numerous natural and synthetic compounds. However, the development of convergent synthetic methods to access them remains challenging. Herein, we report the Lewis acid catalyzed (4+3) ...

Revealing the Surface Chemistry for CO2 Hydrogenation on Cu/CeO2–x Using Near-Ambient-Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Andreas Züttel, Emad Oveisi, Thi Ha My Pham, Wen Luo, Mo Li, Young Jun Ko

Catalytic reduction of CO2 to valuable products is an attractive route for CO2 recycling. CeO2-supported Cu catalysts have shown high activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of CO2 to CO. To uncover the origin of their high performance, we prepared ...

Carbon dioxide activation and hydrogenation over copper-based catalysts studied by near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Mo Li

Carbon neutrality has been proposed as a commitment by the international communities for the well-being of human. To achieve carbon neutrality, one practical approach is to synthesize fuels and chemicals through CO2 hydrogenation to replace fossil fuels. C ...

Taking lanthanides out of isolation: tuning the optical properties of metal-organic frameworks

Berend Smit, Kevin Sivula, Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Kyriakos Stylianou, Gloria Capano, Andrzej Gladysiak, Christopher Patrick Ireland, Maria Fumanal Quintana, Stavroula Kampouri, Davide Tiana, Samantha Lynn Anderson

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are increasingly used in applications that rely on the optical and electronic properties of these materials. These applications require a fundamental understanding on how the structure of these materials, and in particular t ...

Colorimetry of Luminescent Lanthanide Complexes

Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Julien Alexandre Andres

Europium, terbium, dysprosium, and samarium are the main trivalent lanthanide ions emitting in the visible spectrum. In this work, the potential of these ions for colorimetric applications and colour reproduction was studied. The conversion of spectral dat ...

Design of Ductile Rare-Earth-Free Magnesium Alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Zhaoxuan Wu, Rasool Ahmad

Pure Mg has low ductility due to a transition of < c+a > pyramidal dislocations to a sessile basal-oriented structure. Dilute alloying generally improves ductility. Enhancement of pyramidal cross-slip from the lower-energy pyramidal II plane to the higher- ...

Effect of oxygen defects blocking barriers on gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) electro-chemo-mechanical properties

Paul Muralt, Robin Nigon, Ahsanul Kabir

Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates (PMN). Compared to pi ...

Selective, Fast-Response, and Regenerable Metal-Organic Framework for Sampling Excess Fluoride Levels in Drinking Water

Paul Joseph Dyson, Fatmah Ebrahim, Serhii Shyshkanov, Patrick Favre, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên, Andrzej Gladysiak

Prolonged consumption of water contaminated with fluoride ions (F-) at concentrations exceeding 1.5 ppm can lead to considerable health implications, particularly in children and developing embryos. With irreversible and potentially severe forms of fluorid ...
