The pore topology of ITQ-15 zeolite consists an ultra-large 14-ring channel that is intersected perpendicularly by a 12-ring pore; acid sites have been introduced in its framework and this unique structure shows advantages over unidirectional ultralarge zeolites for diffusing reacting large molecules.
Conventional sodium-based layered oxide cathodes are extremely air sensitive and possess poor electrochemical performance along with safety concerns when operating at high voltage. The polyanion phosphate, Na
Silica has many industrial (i.e., glass formers) and scientific applications. The understanding prediction of the interesting properties such materials are dependent on knowledge detailed atomic structures. In this work, amorphous silica subjected to an accelerated alkali reaction (ASR) was recorded at different time intervals so as follow evolution structure by means high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), pair distribution function...

We report a synthesis method to stabilize TiO2 rutile nanoparticles (around 10 nm) and keep the particle size when reduced down TiO1.84. TiO2−δ exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism that becomes stronger for The reduction mechanism Magneli phases excludes relevant influence of oxygen vacancies in modification magnetic properties. arrangement Ti3+ could give rise hopping single 3d electron inducing local ferromagnetic-like behavior.

Abstract Gold‐coated silver nanoparticles (Ag@AuNPs) are synthesized by green synthesis using Vaccinium corymbosum as reducing agent. The obtained Ag@AuNPs present a core‐shell structure with nanostar shape. absorption spectrum of these shows prominent band centred at 680 nm, within the optimal range for photothermal applications. Dispersions in water, 1.87 10 NPs/mL, reach temperature 44.3 °C under laser excitation minutes, which is suitable hyperthermia therapy. internalization Ag@AuNPs,...
Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water is investigated in Ba–Sr–Ta–O layered compounds possessing two different crystal structures: Sr2Ta2O7 (S.G. Cmcm, a (110) type pervoskite), and BaSrTa2O7 Immm, (100) perovskite). High purity samples of are successfully prepared by solid state reaction. Hydrogen production under UV irradiation 26% larger (15.2 mmol g−1) than (11.4 g−1). The band gaps determined diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) 4 eV 4.6 for Sr2Ta2O7, respectively. Density...
Abstract Structural properties of rare earth niobates (RE 3 NbO 7 , RE = Y, Er, Yb, Lu) have been studied using selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM). SAED patterns show diffuse scattering features along the [111] direction pure fluorite ( Fm–3m ) structure due to a short‐range ordering anion vacancies in or change coordination number around some cations. The latter is related presence small domains pyrochlore phase (Fd‐3m), which are...
