TL;DR: In this article, a top-down synthesis approach is proposed for the production of a nanocrystalline, high surface area, manganese (IV) oxide starting from commercial micrometric α-MnO2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape factors and apparent density for different size fractions of particles were measured and the volume fraction of open and closed pores within the particles was determined, and the bulk density of the particle bed was measured with and without applying vibration.

TL;DR: In this article, the density and porosity distribution of a full-scale baked anode obtained with computed tomography (CT) was used to test the method, three cored samples of 300 mm in diameter were taken from an industrial anode and scanned with an X-Ray tomograph.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors described an alternative method based on the infiltration of molten precursors into the support pores in the presence of a support polymer porogen, which proved to be stable upon reduction up to 900 °C and exhibited improved catalytic performances for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde due to the high fraction of active metal exposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pre-treated charcoal was used to substitute up to 10% of coke in the anode recipe in an attempt to investigate the effect of this substitution on final anode properties.
