Iodine oxoacids enhance nucleation of sulfuric acid particles in the atmosphere

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Mihnea Surdu, Lubna Dada, André Welti, Houssni Lamkaddam

The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4), stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low, and H2SO4 is frequently found together with iodine oxoacids [HIOx, i.e., iodic acid ...

Strontium Substituted Tricalcium Phosphate Bone Cement: Short and Long-Term Time-Resolved Studies and In Vitro Properties

Marta Di Fabrizio

Due to a significant influence of strontium (Sr) on bone regeneration, Sr substituted beta-tricalcium phosphate (Sr-TCP) cement is prepared and investigated by short- and long-term time-resolved techniques. For short-term investigations, energy-dispersive ...

Advantages and Limitations of Surface Analysis Techniques on Plasma-Treated Arabidopsis thaliana Seeds

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow

Surface characterization of plasma-treated seeds has made significant progress over the last decade. Most papers in the literature use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle goniometry to investigate surface modifications. However, very few p ...

The role of NH3 and DMA in new particle formation from ambient measurements, bias exchange metadynamics and reactive MD simulations

Athanasios Nenes, Satoshi Takahama, Spyros Pandis, Mária Lbadaoui-Darvas

Ammonia (NH3) and organic amines (dimethyl amine, DMA) play an important role in the heteromolecular nucleation of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and water. Nucleation rates depend on their concentrations. Extremely low amine concentrations can increase nucleation ...

Evaluation of materials for iodine and technetium immobilization through sorption and redox-driven processes

Wendy Lee Queen, Daniel Teav Sun

Radioactive iodine-129 (I-129) and technetium-99 (Tc-9(9)) pose a risk to groundwater due to their long half-lives, toxicity, and high environmental mobility. Based on literature reviewed in Moore et al. (2019) and Pearce et aL (2019), natural and engineer ...

Iodic acid, sulfuric acid and methanesulfonic acid collected during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

Measurements of iodic acid, sulfuric acid and methanesulfonic acid concentration in the gas phase obtained with a nitrate chemical ionization mass spectrometer (we used an APi-TOF mass spectrometer produced by Tofwerk AG coupled with a Chemical ionization ...

One-dimensional facile growth of MAPbI(3) perovskite micro-rods

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Zubair Ahmad

One-dimensional microrods (4-5 mm) of PbI2 and CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI(3)) with unique structural and morphological properties have been grown at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of both types of micro-rods exhibit a hexagonal system (P3m1(164) ...

Degradation analysis of commercial interconnect materials for solid oxide fuel cells in stacks operated up to 18000 hours

Jan Van Herle, Manuel Bianco

Despite being a mature technology, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) devices are still limited by lifetime issues. In SOFC stacks, cell/interconnect interaction is the main responsible for voltage degradation at the oxygen electrode side. Corrosion and chromium ...

Multi-modal and multi-scale non-local means method to analyze spectroscopic datasets

Vasiliki Tileli, Martial Duchamp

A multi-modal and multi-scale non-local means (M3S-NLM) method is proposed to extract atomically resolved spectroscopic maps from low signal-to-noise (SNR) datasets recorded with a transmission electron microscope. This method improves upon previously test ...
