The appearance of a distinct cross-sensitivity against nickel and palladium is remarkable.
Further, to meet the ever increasing demand for palladium in various applications, HLLW can be considered as one of the possible secondary sources of this valuable metal.
It is proposed that native palladium forms by (1) oxidation of a pre-existent palladium mineral to a Pd-O phase, and (2) subsequent crystallization of native palladium from the Pd-O phase, by oxygen loss and dehydration.
We find that the adsorption is the strongest for isolated palladium atoms, and that its strength decreases with growing metal coverage.

Why isn't nuclear energy a renewable energy source?
5 answers
Nuclear energy is not considered a renewable energy source due to the issue of nuclear waste generated by the nuclear fission reaction, as highlighted in Context_3. Despite its potential to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to energy stability, the management of nuclear waste remains a significant concern. Additionally, the integration of nuclear power plants with renewable energy sources like solar and wind is seen as a solution to meet energy demands sustainably. To be classified as renewable, an energy source should have minimal environmental impact and be inexhaustible, which is not the case with nuclear energy due to the finite nature of uranium resources and the challenges associated with nuclear waste disposal. However, advancements in nuclear fuel materials and processes, such as uranium extraction from seawater and optimal utilization in molten salt reactors, aim to enhance the sustainability of nuclear energy.
Does aggremelation leads to increament in BET surface area?
5 answers
Agglomeration of particles can indeed lead to an increase in BET surface area, as observed in studies on various materials. Research has shown that the specific surface area (SSA) of aggregates tends to increase with higher levels of aggregation. However, it is crucial to note that the method used for surface area measurement, such as the N2-BET technique, may not always accurately represent the available surface area for agglomerated nanoparticles. Agglomeration can impact the surface area measurements, with larger mass median aerodynamic diameters associated with increased SSA as measured by N2-BET, potentially leading to misleading results in studies focusing on biological interactions with nanoparticles. Therefore, while agglomeration can influence BET surface area, the measurement technique and the nature of the particles play a significant role in accurately assessing the surface area.
What was the highest TON of CO in catalytize reduction CO2?
5 answers
The highest Turnover Number (TON) achieved for CO production in catalytic reduction of CO2 was 27,666, as reported in a study utilizing a giant polyoxometalate {Mo368} based homogeneous catalytic system. Other studies have also demonstrated significant TON values for CO production. A catalyst containing a CuII complex achieved a TON of 9900 for CO generation under visible light irradiation. Additionally, a catalyst system involving an organic photosensitizer, a cobalt molecular catalyst, and an organic electron transfer relay achieved a TON of 1333 for CO2-to-CO conversion under visible light irradiation. These findings highlight the potential of various catalyst systems in efficiently converting CO2 to CO with high TON values.
Does dispersion of copper leads to increament in BET surface area?
5 answers
The dispersion of copper does impact the BET surface area in various systems. In the case of copper oxide on anatase, below the monolayer dispersion threshold, the onset temperature of phase transformation and transition speed are influenced by CuO dispersion, affecting the properties of anatase. Similarly, in CuO/α-Fe2O3 samples, the dispersion of CuO affects the reduction behavior, with highly dispersed Cu2+ ions existing at low Cu loading, leading to changes in surface species as Cu loading increases. Additionally, the synthesis of CuBTC MOFs using a mechanochemical method resulted in a high BET surface area of 2011 m2/g, showcasing the impact of synthesis techniques on surface area preservation. Therefore, the dispersion of copper can indeed lead to changes in BET surface area in different systems.
What is a whiting event?
5 answers
A whiting event refers to the transient phenomenon observed in hardwater lakes where massive calcium carbonate precipitation causes the surface waters to exhibit a turquoise coloration. These events are driven by a combination of biological and physico-chemical factors. The onset of whiting events involves the episodic precipitation of fine-grained suspended calcium carbonates in the water column, often initiated by the nucleation of calcium carbonate phases on microbial cells and extracellular polymeric substances like EPS, associated with diatoms. Whiting events have been documented in various marine and lacustrine environments and play a significant role in the formation of carbonate muds, limestones, and serve as important archives for geochemical proxies of Earth history. Additionally, the occurrence and characteristics of whiting events can be monitored and analyzed using multispectral remote sensing approaches, providing insights into their spatial and temporal patterns.
How are janus materials used in photocatalytic systems?
5 answers
Janus materials, such as γ-GeSSe, ASSiN2, Ga2STe, and XMMX' structures, exhibit promising applications in photocatalytic systems. These materials possess unique structures and properties that make them suitable for efficient solar conversion. Janus structures like WSSiN2 and Ga2STe monolayers demonstrate semiconductor behaviors with desirable band gaps, high electron mobility, and strong visible-light absorption, enhancing their photocatalytic activity. The presence of intrinsic electric fields in Janus materials facilitates the separation of photogenerated carriers, crucial for efficient photocatalysis. Additionally, the Janus XMMX' structures show high photocatalytic activity due to out-of-plane electric fields, transforming indirect band structures into direct ones, and enabling rapid hot carrier relaxation and slow recombination processes, making them ideal for overall water splitting. These findings highlight the potential of Janus materials in advancing photocatalytic systems for sustainable energy applications.
