TL;DR: The significantly enhanced hydrogen storage capacity was confirmed by hydrogen pressure-composition isotherms and solid-state deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, and the speed of hydrogen absorption in the Pd nanocrystals is also enhanced by the MOF coating.

TL;DR: Pd(x)Ru(1-x) solid solution alloy nanoparticles were successfully synthesized over the whole composition range through a chemical reduction method, although Ru and Pd are immiscible at the atomic level in the bulk state.

TL;DR: In this article, a new process named heating-sol-gel template process for fabrication oxide nanorods with large quantity, good compositional uniformity and fine crystallinity based on a template method was proposed and the above characterization results support the new process is a desirable process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that high pressure torsion (HPT)-processed TiFe exhibits heterogeneous microstructures composed of nanograins, coarse-grains, amorphous-like phases and disordered phases with a high hardness of ∼1050 Hv.

TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art results on anatase and/or rutile TiO2 thin films, fabricated by helicon RF magnetron sputtering, with good crystal quality and high density, gave the state of the art knowledge on systematic interrelationship for fabrication conditions, crystal structure, composition, optical properties and bactericidal abilities.
