Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses are an emerging class of glasses which complement traditional inorganic, organic and metallic counterparts due to their hybrid nature. Although a few zeolitic imidazolate frameworks have been made into glasses, how t
The 20-nm-thick STNNi thin films were deposited on (001) SrTiO3single crystal substrates and have been thermally reduced at different temperatures (4% H2/Ar,t = 30 h).a, Comparison of the surface morphology in the as-prepared state and after reducing treatment atT = 600 °...
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has set targets for hydrogen storage. The 2017 target set by the DOE for hydrogen storage is 5.5 wt. % and 40 kg/m3 volumetric adsorption for a fully reversible system operating near room temperature. The ultimate goals are 7.5 wt % and 70 kg...
The prepared catalysts went through a heat treatment process at 200 °C in H2/ArH2/Ar atmosphere from 4 to 24 h and the image for each period is presented in Figure 16. A clear correlation was found between the heat treatment and the total catalyst performance. The optimum heat treatment ...
The targets were irradiated for 20 min by 15 ns laser pulses at the fundamental (𝜆λ = 1064 nm) and the second harmonic (SHG) (𝜆λ = 532 nm) wavelengths of a Nd–YAG laser. Yin et al. synthesized large-scale and size-controlled silver nanoparticles by treating an aqueous solution...
To illustrate the effect of heat treatment on hardness, three measurement series were carried out in the zone near the outer surface towards the core of the reference slider. The results of one of the measurement series are presented in the HV1 hardness graph as a function of distance. Analyz...
Within the Waste2Fuel project, innovative, high-performance, and cost-effective fuel production methods from municipal solid wastes (MSWs) are sought for application as energy carriers or direct drop-in fuels/chemicals in the near-future low-carbon power generation systems and internal combustion engi...
Enzymes, and metalloenzymes in particular, display such characteristics and are thus attractive targets for engineering. Certainly, heme enzymes constitute a well-known example of such attempts [21,22,23]. The selected applications presented in this review aim at providing an account of the ...
However, some important drawbacks should be mentioned, like the slow binding kinetics offered by the synthetic materials, the analysis of targets without intrinsic measurable properties, the coupling of the MOF to the transducer element, and the possibility to perform multiplexed analyses. Also, the ...
