Co-Adsorption of Alcohols and Water in JUK-8 Studied Using Quasi-Equilibrated Thermodesorption
JUK-8 ([Zn(oba)(pip)]n, oba2- = 4,4 '-oxybis(benzenedicarboxylate), pip = 4-pyridyl-functionalized benzene-1,3-dicarbohydrazide) is a hydrolytically stable flexible metal-organic framework. Owing to its unusual adsorptive properties, JUK-8 can be considere ...
MDPI2024Characterization of water sorption cycle in the cement microstructure of controlled oxide composition
This thesis investigates the water vapour sorption behaviour of samples with maximized calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) content. Primarily, the role of heterogeneous and homogeneous cavitation has been studied during the drying of cementitious materials. C ...
EPFL2022In Situ Monitoring of the Surface Evolution of a Silver Electrode from Polycrystalline to Well-Defined Structures
Capturing the surface-structural dynamics of metal electrocatalysts under certain electrochemical environments is intriguingly desired for understanding the behavior of various metal-based electrocatalysts. However, in situ monitoring of the evolution of a ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Characterization of metal organic frameworks of interest for gas adsorption/separation applications
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials that are applicable in many energy and environmentally relevant areas, due to their unique features including unprecedented internal surface areas and easy chemical tunability. Gas separation ...
EPFL2020Applicability of Tail Corrections in the Molecular Simulations of Porous Materials
Berend Smit, Daniele Ongari, Kevin Maik Jablonka
Molecular simulations with periodic boundary conditions require the definition of a certain cutoff radius, r(c) beyond which pairwise dispersion interactions are neglected. For the simulation of homogeneous phases the use of tail corrections is well-establ ...
2019Two dimensional diffusion-controlled triplet–triplet annihilation kinetics
Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Pierre-François Marie Brevet, Grégoire Clément Gschwend, Morgan Kazmierczak
Diffusion controlled chemical reactions are usually observed in three dimensionalmedia. In contrast, planar bimolecular reactions taking place between reagents adsorbed at a soft interface are two-dimensional and therefore cannot be studied within the same ...
2019Catalyst support and solvent effects during lignin depolymerization and hydrodeoxygenation
Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel
We studied and compared the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and depolymerization of aldehyde-stabilized lignin and 4-propylguaiacol (PG), a model lignin monomer. We demonstrated by liquid phase adsorption that PG HDO catalyzed by Ru/C can be achieved in isooctane ...
2019Composite Materials Based on (Cymene)Ru(II) Curcumin Additives Loaded on Porous Carbon Adsorbents from Agricultural Residues Display Efficient Antibacterial Activity
Alternative composite materials with antibacterial activity have been developed by combining the porosity of carbon materials and the antibacterial activity of half sandwich (cymene)Ru-curcumin complexes. Different types of activated carbon were used, from ...
2018Biporous Metal-Organic Framework with Tunable CO2/CH4 Separation Performance Facilitated by Intrinsic Flexibility
Berend Smit, Kyriakos Stylianou, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Daniele Ongari, Peter George Boyd, Andrzej Gladysiak, Arunraj Chidambaram, Kathryn Suzanne Deeg, Kaili Yee Ordiz
In this work, we report the synthesis of SION-8, a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) based on Ca(II) and a tetracarboxylate ligand TBAPy(4-) endowed with two chemically distinct types of pores characterized by their hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties ...
2018Adsorptive Removal of Pb(II) and As(V) from Aqueous Solution by PVDF/HMO Ultrafiltration Mixed Matrix Membrane
Lead and arsenic are among the designated chemicals of major concern by the World Health Organization, they affect millions of people worldwide with both acute and chronic effects on human health. In the current study, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fa ...
