Promotion Effect of Alkali Metal Hydroxides on Polymer-Stabilized Pd Nanoparticles for Selective Hydrogenation of C–C Triple Bonds in Alkynols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lioubov Kiwi, Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel

Postimpregnation of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized within hyper-cross-linked polystyrene with sodium or potassium hydroxides of optimal concentration was found to significantly increase the catalytic activity for the partial hydrogenation of the C–C tri ...

Boosting Water Oxidation Layer-by-Layer

Hubert Girault, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Heron Vrubel, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Véronique Amstutz, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Electrocatalysis of water oxidation was achieved using fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) electrodes modified with layer-by-layer deposited films consisting of bilayers of negatively charged citrate-stabilized IrO2 NPs and positively charged poly(diallyldimethyla ...

Impact of alkali salts on the kinetics and microstructural development of cementitious systems

Berta Mota Gassó

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) lower the environmental impact of cement and concrete but react more slowly than Portland cement, which therefore limits the levels of substitution possible as reasonable early strengths are necessary. One of the ...

Aluminium and alkali uptake in calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H)

Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital

Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the main hydrate phase in Portland cements. Its composition varies depending on the Ca/Si ratio and on the presence of other ions such as aluminium (called CA- S-H) or alkalis. This thesis aimed to study the compositi ...

Microhydration Effects on the Encapsulation of Potassium Ion by Dibenzo-18-Crown-6

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine, Yoshiya Inokuchi

We have measured electronic and conformer-specific vibrational spectra of hydrated dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) complexes with potassium ion, K+center dot DB18C6 center dot(H2O)(n) (n = 1-5), in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. We also present for comparison spect ...

Inertisation of heavy metals in municipal solid waste incineration fly ash by means of colloidal silica – a synchrotron X-ray diffraction and absorption study

Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis

Many efforts have been undertaken in past decades to minimize pollution from municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA). This residue is toxic, because of its high concentration of heavy metals, mainly Pb and Zn. A new method for heavy metals ent ...

Enhancing Hydrophilicity of Anatase TiO2 Surfaces by Deposition of Alkaline Earths: The Case of Ca

Alfonso Baldereschi

We show with DFT calculations within the COSMO framework that the wetting energy of clean or hydroxylated anatase TiO2 surfaces is strongly enhanced by Ca deposition at low coverage. Two mechanisms contribute to this behavior: the ionic character of Ca ads ...

Communication: Angular momentum alignment and fluorescence polarization of alkali atoms photodetached from helium nanodroplets

The theory of photofragments angular momentum polarization is applied to the photodetachment of an electronically excited alkali atom from a helium nanocluster (N = 200). The alignment of the electronic angular momentum of the bare excited alkali atoms pro ...

A selective chemiluminescence detection method for reactive oxygen species involved in oxygen reduction reaction on electrocatalytic materials

Christos Comninellis, Pauline Bornoz

An original selective and quantitative detection method for direct access to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in near-neutral aqueous solutions during transient electrochemical experiments is described herein. Several chemiluminescent probes, which ...

The influence of sodium and potassium hydroxide on alite hydration: Experiments and simulations

Karen Scrivener, Aditya Kumar

The basic nature of alkali hydroxides (NaOH, KOH) when added to mixing water, increases the pH in proportion to the level of salt addition. For alite (impure tricalcium silicate; MIII-Ca3SiO5) hydration, this pH increase accelerates the rate of hydration a ...

Modelling Hydration Kinetics of Cementitous Systems

Aditya Kumar

The modeling platform µic has been extended to study the hydration of cement based systems. It is shown that the hydration kinetics of alite can be described through the implementation of two mechanisms: a solution controlled dissolution (SCD) mechanism fo ...
