Electron spin lifetime in chemically synthesized graphene sheets

Graphene is theoretically expected to be a highly suitable material for spintronic and quantum computation applications. Current experimental reports assign surprisingly low spin lifetimes to graphene and related carbon structures. Recently, we showed a so ...

Comprehensive study of carbon dioxide adsorption in the metal-organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)

Berend Smit, Wendy Lee Queen, Miguel Gonzalez

Analysis of the CO2 adsorption properties of a well-known series of metal-organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (dobdc(4-) = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) is carried out in tandem with in situ structural studies to ident ...

The effect of dye coverage on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells with a cobalt-based electrolyte

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

The effect of dye coverage of the mesoporous TiO2 electrode on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells based on the cobalt tris(bipyridine) electrolyte and the D35 dye was studied in detail. The dye coverage was controlled by using a dye bath with di ...

Methane storage capabilities of diamond analogues

Berend Smit

Methane can be an alternative fuel for vehicular usage provided that new porous materials are developed for its efficient adsorption-based storage. Herein, we search for materials for this application within the family of diamond analogues. We used density ...

The Mechanism of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption in an Alkylamine-Functionalized Metal-Organic Framework

Berend Smit

The mechanism of CO2 adsorption in the amine-functionalized metal-organic framework mmen-Mg2(dobpdc) (dobpdc4- = 4,4′-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate; mmen = N,N′- dimethylethylenediamine) was characterized by quantum-chemical calculations. The material ...

Chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes: Boosting nanoparticle efficiency by confinement within highly porous polymeric framework

Lioubov Kiwi, Fernando Cardenas Lizana, Charline Berguerand

We report for the first time 99.9% yield of aminocompounds and high TOFs (up to 61 s(-1)) in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of several para-substituted (-OH, -OCH3, -CH3, -H, -Br, -Cl, -COOH and -NO2) nitroaromatics over quasi-monodispersed (ca. 3.3 nm fro ...

Selective Gas Phase Hydrogenation of

Lioubov Kiwi, Fernando Cardenas Lizana, Rocio Micaela Crespo Quesada, Xiaodong Wang

The gas phase (1 atm, 453 K) hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) over a series of laboratory-synthesized and commercial Pd (1-10% wt) supported on activated carbon (AC) and non-reducible (SiO2 and Al2O3) and reducible (ZnO) oxides has been examin ...

Effect of Steam-to-Carbon Ratio on Degradation of Ni-YSZ Anode Supported Cells

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Hossein Madi

Internal steam reforming (IR) of methane was investigated on Ni- YSZ anode supported cells, looking in particular at the effect of the steam to carbon (S/C) ratio on the degradation rate. The cells were fed with different H2O/CH4 mixtures during 100 hours ...
