Molecular Organization of the Nanoscale Surface Structures of the Dragonfly Hemianax papuensis Wing Epicuticle

TL;DR: The chemical components that constitute the nanoscale structures on the surface of the wings of the dragonfly, Hemianax papuensis, were identified to be fatty acids, predominantly hexadecanoic acid and octadecanoi acid, and n-alkanes with even numbered carbon chains ranging from C14 to C30.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigation of nanocrystalline calcium silicate hydrates synthesised by reactive milling

TL;DR: In this paper, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to analyse a series of mechanochemically synthesized, nanocrystalline calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H).

Alumina-supported Cu-Ag catalysts for ammonia oxidation to nitrogen at low temperature

TL;DR: The addition of copper to alumina-supported silver catalysts, by co-incipient wetness impregnation, increased the selectivity to nitrogen during the catalytic oxidation of ammonia at 250°C without significant decrease in activity relative to that of Ag/alumina alone as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

XPS and XRD investigation of Co/Pd/TiO2 catalysts by different preparation methods

TL;DR: In this paper, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the catalysts for the direct synthesis of acetic acid from CH 4 and CO 2 by a two-step reaction sequence.

A magnetic organic–inorganic composite: Synthesis and characterization of magnetic 5-aminosalicylic acid intercalated layered double hydroxides

TL;DR: A core-shell structured magnetic layered organic-inorganic material involving 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) intercalated Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and magnesium ferrite (MgFe 2 O 4 ) is assembled by a coprecipitation method as discussed by the authors.
