Surface Oxygenate Species on TiC Reinforce Cobalt-Catalyzed Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

Carbide-supported metal catalysts attract extensive research interests owing to the special properties of metal carbide and the interactions between metals and the carbide supports. While surface oxide species are inevitable in carbide materials, their rol ...

Small Molecule Activation by Multimetallic Uranium Complexes

Marta Falcone

The development of new processes for the selective and sustainable transformation of abundant small molecules constitutes one of the major research areas in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. These molecules as CO2, CO, N2 and H2 are abundant reservoi ...

Four-electron Reduction and Functionalization of N₂ by a Uranium(III) Bridging Nitride

Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone

N2 is a cheap and widely available but very unreactive molecule. Notably, the only industrial process for the conversion of dinitrogen is the Haber-Bosch process to form ammonia, but under very harsh conditions (high temperature and pressure). Here, we rev ...

Direct Imaging of Dopant Distribution in Polycrystalline ZnO Films

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Cécile Hébert, Sylvain Nicolay, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Martin Ledinsky, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Monica Morales Masis, Arthur Brian Aebersold

Two fundamental requirements of transparent conductive oxides are high conductivity and low optical absorptance, properties strongly dependent on the free-carrier concentration of the film. The free carrier concentration is usually-tuned by the addition of ...

Facile CO Cleavage by a Multimetallic CsU2 Nitride Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone

Uranium nitrides are important materials with potential for application as fuels for nuclear power generation, and as highly active catalysts. Molecular nitride compounds could provide important insight into the nature of the uranium–nitride bond, but curr ...

Real Space Imaging of Spin Polarons in Zn-Doped SrCu2(BO3)(2)

Frédéric Mila

We report on the real space profile of spin polarons in the quasi-two-dimensional frustrated dimer spin system SrCu2(BO3)(2) doped with 0.16% of Zn. The B-11 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum exhibits 15 additional boron sites near nonmagnetic Zn impurit ...

Préparation et caractérisation de nanoparticules bimétalliques (Pt-Au) sur un substrat en diamant dopé au bore : application à l'électrocatalyse

Bahaa El Roustom

Using petrol as a main source of energy, during the 20th century, has caused considerable amounts of damage among which are atmospheric pollution and global warming. At the same time, many geologists and economists expect that the discovery rate of new pet ...
