TL;DR: In this paper, a new synthesis strategy was developed to prepare ∼5 nm metallic nanoparticles (AgNPs) supported on tungsten oxide (WO3) nanorods with diameters between 40 and 60 nm in the presence of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of metal ion-containing ionic liquids on silica surfaces (ImmM_IL) were prepared and characterized by EXAFS, UV-vis, TGA, and elemental analysis.

TL;DR: An environmentally-benign carbocatalyst based on amine-functionalized graphene oxide (AP-GO) was synthesized and characterized and shows superior activity for the chemical fixation of CO2 into cyclic carbonates at the atmospheric pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption states of oxygen on Cu(111) at 100-300 K were investigated by means of HREELS, and two molecular species were characterized by different O(O) stretching frequencies (v(OO)) at 610 cm−1 and 820-870 cm− 1, which are assigned to the peroxo-like species (O2−2) adsorbed in a bridged form and the one in a bidentate form bound on an atop site, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of bridging hydroxyls is relatively easy and the activation barrier is calculated to be 114 kJ/mol (kJ/m) on the TiO2(110) surface with oxygen defect sites.
