Understanding the role of surface oxygen-containing functional groups on carbon-supported cobalt catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction

Andreas Züttel, Thi Ha My Pham, Kangning Zhao, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong, Manhui Wei

Supported Co-based catalysts exhibit promising catalytic activities in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during alkaline water electrolysis. Surface functionalization of the support modulates the dispersion of the catalysts and their interaction with the ...

Application of ray methods to one-dimensional site response of inhomogeneous soil deposits

Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez

The technique referred as ray approximation treats wave propagation in a heterogeneous medium at the infinitely small wavelength limit. This classic simplification allows useful approximate analytical results to be obtained in cases where complete descript ...

Source and Chemistry of Hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS) in Fairbanks, Alaska

Athanasios Nenes

Fairbanks, Alaska, is a subarctic city with fine particle (PM2.5) concentrations that exceed air quality regulations in winter due to weak dispersion caused by strong atmospheric inversions, local emissions, and the unique chemistry occurring under the col ...

Porous granules by freeze granulation of Pickering emulsions stabilized with halloysite particles

Paul Bowen

Pickering emulsions stabilized with a natural silicate mineral, halloysite, were dried by freeze granulation in order to prepare porous granules. Different formulations were studied, by varying the pH of the suspension, the ionic strength and with the addi ...

Colloid transport and distribution in the hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry

Colloids moving from the stream into the hyporheic zone may have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems as they are potential contaminants or carriers of contaminants. Moreover, retained colloids in the hyporheic zone could not only reduce the exchange fl ...

Microfluidic Fabrication of Capsule Sensor Platform with Double-Shell Structure

Esther Amstad

Metal nanoparticles are frequently employed for the colorimetric detection of specific target molecules using an aggregation-induced shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance. However, metal nanoparticles dispersed in bulk solutions are prone to be ...

Improved mechanical dispersion or use of coupling agents? Advantages and disadvantages for the properties of fluoropolymer/ceramic composites

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic, Sara Dalle Vacche

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of interfacial chemistry on the properties of fluoropolymer composites, independent of effects derived from changes in morphology, in particular particle dispersion state. A comparative study of solvent ...

The role of dispersion forces on the atomic structure of glassy chalcogenides: The case of GeSe4 and GeS4

Assil Bouzid, Carlo Massobrio

Recent first-principles molecular dynamics simulations (FPMD) results on two chalcogenide glasses (glassy GeS4 and GeSe4) are revisited by accounting explicitly for van der Waals (vdW) dispersion forces. This effort is motivated by the observation that suc ...

Spatial and temporal turbidity currents sediment deposition assessment

Giovanni De Cesare, Shun Nomura

Flume experiments are conducted to model sediment-laden density currents with continuous suspension supply. The initial density covers 1008, 1016, and 1032 kg/m3 and the bottom slope at 5.0 %. Sediment deposition profiles along the experimental flume are m ...

Strain-induced dissolution of Y-Ti-O nano-oxides in a consolidated ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel

Roland Logé, Mathijs Pieter van der Meer

The present study shows the influence of severe plastic deformation on highly stable Y-Ti-O nano-oxides present in ferritic ODS alloys used for nuclear applications. An innovative strain path implying alternated compressions was used to deform the material ...
