Simultaneous local sensing of two chemical properties with dual soft probe scanning electrochemical microscopy

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Gregorio Bonazza

A new method for the rapid and economic fabrication of dual soft microelectrodes for Soft-Probe-Scanning electrochemical microscopy (Soft-Probe-SECM) and their use for the simultaneous local detection of locally generated species is presented. The process ...

Scattering HCl Molecules from Au(111) and Ag(111) Surfaces

Jan Daniel Geweke

In this thesis, I present an experimental molecular beam surface scattering study of dynamical processes involved when HCl molecules are scattered from Au(111) and Ag(111) surfaces. I investigated vibrational excitation, translational inelasticity and diss ...

An “ideal lignin” facilitates full biomass utilization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Li Shuai, Yuan Li

Lignin, a major component of lignocellulosic biomass, is crucial to plant growth and development but is a major impediment to efficient biomass utilization in various processes. Valorizing lignin is increasingly realized as being essential. However, rapid ...

Air pollution-aerosol interactions produce more bioavailable iron for ocean ecosystems

Athanasios Nenes, Yu Lin, Xiuwei Zhang, Wei Li

It has long been hypothesized that acids formed from anthropogenic pollutants and natural emissions dissolve iron (Fe) in airborne particles, enhancing the supply of bioavailable Fe to the oceans. However, field observations have yet to provide indisputabl ...

CO2 as hydrogen vector - Transition metal diamine catalysts for selective HCOOH dehydrogenation

Gabor Laurenczy, Cornel Fink

The homogeneous catalytic dehydrogenation of formic acid in aqueous solution provides an efficient in situ method for hydrogen production, under mild conditions, and at an adjustable rate. We synthesized a series of catalysts with the chemical formula [Cp* ...

Water exchange studies of lanthanide complexes and aqua ions

Shima Karimi

Complexes of lanthanide (III) ions have been used in structural studies of biomolecules and as contrast agents (CA). Clinically approved CAs have only one water molecule in their first coordination sphere. Structure and water exchange rate of these complex ...

Kinetic and Mechanistic Aspects of the Reactions of Iodide and Hypoiodous Acid with Permanganate: Oxidation and Disproportionation

Urs von Gunten, Jun Ma

Oxidation kinetics of iodide and HOI/OI- by permanganate were studied in the pH range of 5.0-10.0. Iodide oxidation and iodate formation were faster at lower pH. The apparent second-order rate constants (k(obs)) for iodide oxidation by permanganate decreas ...

Ni-based structured catalyst for selective 3-phase hydrogenation of nitroaromatics

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lioubov Kiwi, Daniel André Samuel Lamey, Oliver Anthony Beswick, Félicien Muriset

We report herein on the development of Ni-based catalyst using activated carbon fibres (ACFs) as a structured support and its application for the three‐phase hydrogenation of nitroarenes (T = 353 K; P = 10 bar). It was shown that metallic Ni0 nanoparticles ...

Effect of ammonia on the decomposition of ammonium formate over Au/TiO2 under oxidizing conditions relevant to SCR: Enhancement of formic acid decomposition rate and CO2 production

Oliver Kröcher

Ammonium formate (AmFo) and formic acid decomposition were carried out in the presence of excess O-2 and H2O over 0.5 wt%Au/TiO2 anatase monolithic catalysts using various contact times and temperatures between 160 degrees C and 300 degrees C, under spray ...
