Activation of small molecules promoted by multimetallic complexes supported by redox active ligands

The activation of small molecule is a topic of high current interest. A variety of homogeneous end heterogeneous catalysts have been studied to be able to promote chemical transformation of industrial relevance under mild condition and therefore decrease t ...

Construction of MOF/Polymer Composites for Metal Ion Capture

Daniel Teav Sun

Metal ion capture is of environmental and economic significance. The industrial revolutions have discharged increasing amounts of heavy and precious metals into complex water sources. The key is that these types of metal ions tend to be at trace amounts in ...

Progress in modelling solidification microstructures in metals and alloys: dendrites and cells from 1700 to 2000

Wilfried Kurz

This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...

Photorealistic modelling of metals from first principles

Nicola Marzari, Gianluca Prandini, Gian-Marco Rignanese

The colours of metals have attracted the attention of humanity since ancient times, and coloured metals, in particular gold compounds, have been employed for tools and objects symbolizing the aesthetics of power. In this work, we develop a comprehensive fr ...

Heat-transfer at the interface between a metal and a non-metal: influence of ultra-thin interlayers, interface chemistry and atomic order

Maïté Blank

The Thermal Boundary Conductance (TBC) at the interface between metals and dielectrics is of key importance for heat transport in structures heterogeneous on a scale from 100 µm downwards. In this thesis the TBC of a large number of metal/dielectric couple ...

Biorecovery of Precious Metal Nanoparticles From Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments

Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera

The accelerating rate of accumulation of electronic waste or waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a global problem due to the environmental and health consequences. Recycling of WEEE is a sustainable solution to overcome this problem. Use of ...

A System Dynamics Assessment of the Supply of Superalloys using WORLD6; Sufficiency for Civilian and Military Aviation Needs

The extraction, supply, market price and recycling of the metals used for superalloys were modelled using the systems dynamics model WORLD6. Peak production per capita (Supply Security) and stock-in-use per capita (Utility of Use) as well as resource stock ...

Molecular tunability of surface-functionalized metal nanocrystals for selective electrochemical CO2 reduction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Mounir Driss Mensi, James Richard Pankhurst, Yannick Thomas Guntern

Organic ligands are used in homogeneous catalysis to tune the metal center reactivity; in contrast, clean surfaces are usually preferred in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of a molecular chemistry approach to develop efficient ...

Electronic Structure-Dependent Surface Plasmon Resonance in Single Au-Fe Nanoalloys

Olivier Martin, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

The relationship between composition and plasmonic properties in noble metal nanoalloys is still largely unexplored. Yet, nanoalloys of noble metals, such as gold, with transition elements, such as iron, have unique properties and a number of potential app ...
