TL;DR: The best of both worlds: The synthesis of carbon-encapsulated iron-based magnetic nanoparticles is described, showing that with such small catalysts that have macroscopic magnetic properties, the advantages of homogeneous or colloidal and heterogeneous catalysts can be combined.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface films formed by adsorption of benzotriazole (BTA), on copper and copper alloys have been studied by X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the kinetics of the dual catalytic methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis process over a commercial CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 (methanol forming) and a γ-alumina (dehydration) catalyst using a gradientless, internal-recycle-type reactor.

TL;DR: In this article, a steady-state model of an IIR-SOFC was developed to study the mismatch between the thermal load associated with the rate of steam reforming at typical SOFC temperatures and the local amount of heat available from the fuel cell reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the absolute capacity of the double hydroxides was increased by 62% using only 7 wt % graphene oxide (GO) as a support, and the experimental procedure for the synthesis of the materials is based on a direct precipitation of the LDH nanoparticles onto GO followed by a structural and physical characterization by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements.
