The aim of this study was to investigate the ecotoxicity polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) and polylactic acid (PLA) microplastics (MPs) in two marine zooplankton: crustacean
Bamboo, like wood, is a promising natural template for biobased devices that takes advantage of its hierarchical architecture, microarray channels, anisotropic mechanical and electrical properties. Herein we report low heat thermal treatment (HTT, 700-1000 °C) bamboo specimens to obtain bamboo-based graphitic with thermoelectric electrochemical The preservation the highly architecture three-dimensional carbon material (3D-CM) allowed adding specific properties depending on HTT pristine...
Abstract Graphene is usually considered a chemically inert material. Theoretical studies of CO adsorption on free‐standing graphene predict quite low energies (<0.1 eV). However, we show here by vibrational spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy that the nondissociative chemisorption occurs at cold, pristine grown Ni(1 1 1). The adlayer remains stable up to 125 K, although some coverage survives flashes 225 K. This unexpected result explained qualitatively modification density...
A large and growing number of theoretical papers report the possible role defects heteroatoms on chemical properties single-layer graphene. Indeed, they are expected to modify electronic structure graphene film, allow for chemisorption different species, enable more effective functionalisation. Therefore, from studies, we get suggestion that single double vacancies, Stone–Wales suitable candidates turn nearly chemically inert into an active player in chemistry, catalysis, sensoristics....
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have become a hot research topic in recent years due to their high energy density and safety. However, most is limited the use of electrode electrolyte powders pressed together for testing purposes, it impossible achieve goal mass production by manufacturing complete only via compression. Such method might need extremely pressure obtain fully dense system composed both electrodes separated largest battery surface highest...
We investigate CO adsorption at single vacancies of graphene supported on Ni(111) and polycrystalline Cu. The borders the are chemically inert but, reactive substrate, intercalation occurs. Adsorbed dissociates 380 K, leading to carbide formation mending vacancies, thus preventing their effectiveness in sensor applications.
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) are used to determine the structure of mono- bilayer iron monoxide (FeO) islands films grown on Ru(0001). The experimental results provide information atomic Moiré periodicities, height structures, mutual shift their crystalline lattices rotation with respect underlying single-crystal support. Based determined parameters, structural models proposed. calculations reveal preferred stacking configurations Fe O layers in...
Free standing graphene is chemically inert but, as recently demonstrated, CO chemisorption occurs at low crystal temperature on the single layer grown by ethene dehydrogenation Ni(111). Such inhomogeneous since different phases coexist, relative abundance of which depends growth conditions. Here we show X ray photoemission and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopies that attained coverage strongly weight well concentration carbon in Ni subsurface region. Our data chemical...
Islands and thin films of metal oxides grown on single-crystal supports constitute well-defined model systems for studying elementary steps catalytic reactions that take place at the surface metal-oxide catalysts. Fundamental studies carried out under idealized ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions have to be, however, linked industrial ones by overcoming so called "pressure gap". In case oxidation reactions, experiments using high (millibar) oxygen pressures or moderate highly oxidative...
The current understanding of the dynamics gas-surface interactions is that all energy lost in collision transferred to vibrations target. Electronic excitations were shown play a marginal role except for cases which impinging particles have energies several electronvolts. Here we show this picture does not hold metal surfaces supporting acoustic surface plasmons. Such loss, dressed with vibronic structure, make up prominent transfer route down terahertz region Ne atoms scattering off Cu(111)...
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are at the frontier of research on graphene materials since 1D quantum confinement electrons allows for opening an energy gap.
Abstract Due to its biocompatibility, TiO 2 is a relevant material for the study of bio-interfaces. Its electronic and chemical properties are influenced by defects, which mainly consist oxygen vacancies or adsorbed OH groups affect, consequently, also interaction with biological molecules. Here we report on an x-ray photoemission spectroscopy near edge adsorption fine structure glutamic acid (Glu) rutile (110) surface, either clean partially hydroxylated. We show that Glu anchors surface...
