In this work, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) have been used for in situ investigations of the D2O and ozone processes at 250 degrees C for (BuN)-Bu-t=Nb(NEt2)(3) and (BuN)-Bu-t=T...
The membrane-templating method was successfully combined with electrodeposition and layer-by-layer assembly to create various multi-segmented nanostructures composed of metal, polymers, synthetic and biological polyelect...
We use first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with statistical mechanical techniques based on the cluster expansion method and Monte Carlo simulations to predict the lithium site occupanci...
Ordered mesoporous titanium nitride-carbon (denoted as OM TiN-C) nanocomposite with high surface area (389 m(2) g(-1)) and uniform hexagonal mesopores (ca. 5.5 nm) was facilely synthesized via the soft-template method. A...
The synthesis and characterization of a new family of pyrrolidinium based poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) electrolytes with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) pendant groups is reported. The PILs were synthesized from a diallyl methyl...
Platinum (Pt) is widely used as battery electrodes, catalysts for chemicals, and catalysts for exhaust gas decomposition in industries. Increasing need and very limited supply of rare Pt is a serious problem in the world...
Taking advantage of a pH-dependent solubility equilibrium, we have developed an aqueous synthesis of chemically and colloidally stable bismuth(0) glyconanoparticles. The synthetic method results in potentially biocompati...
Effects of the size and attachment position of benzyl aryl ether dendrons covalently attached to bis(thiopyrylium) penta- and heptamethines on the optical properties of these dyes in solution and in solid films have been...
This paper reports the development and optimization of an enhanced process to produce viable quantities of trigermane, and controlled smaller quantities tetragermane, which are isolated as a mixture of perfectly stable i...
Manganese(II) hydrazide gels designed for Kubas-type hydrogen storage were synthesized from the reaction between bis(trimethylsilylmethyl) manganese and anhydrous hydrazine. The synthetic materials were characterized by ...
Highly uniform and well-crystallized nanoparticles of the intermetallic compound BiRh were obtained by low-temperature synthesis at 240 degrees C using the microwave-assisted polyol process. In this time- and energy-effi...
Hydrophilic beta-cyclodextrin barrels have been tethered to a hydrophobic pulsed plasma deposited poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride) linker layer via the Williamson ether synthesis reaction to produce an amphiphilic system tha...
Mechanochemical synthesis using CeCl3-MBH4 (M = Li, Na or K) mixtures are investigated and produced a new compound, LiCe(BH4)(3)Cl, which crystallizes in a cubic space group I (4) over bar 3m, a = 11.7204(2) angstrom. Th...
Hybrid materials of the metal-organic framework (MOF), chromium(III) terephthalate (MIL-101), and phosphotungstic acid (PTA) were synthesized in aqueous media in the absence of hydrofluoric acid. XRD analysis of the MIL1...
