Atomic Scale Investigations into the Origins of Ductility in Mg Alloys

Rasool Ahmad

The industrial applications of Mg, the lightest structural metal, and abundant in Earth's crust, are hampered by its low intrinsic ductility and low fracture toughness at room temperature which is attributed to the underlying less symmetric and plastically ...

The Periodic Table and Kinetics?

André Merbach, Lothar Helm

Mendeleev in his first publication ordered the chemical elements following an apparent periodicity of properties such as atomic volume and valence. The reactivity of the elements was only studied systematically many years later. To illustrate the systemati ...

Thermal activation and aging of a V2O3/WO3-TiO2 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid, Adrian Marberger

Real-world vanadium-based catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 are occasionally exposed to high temperatures, which can induce catalyst aging. In this work, a 2.0 wt% V2O5/WO3-TiO2 catalyst based on commercial WO3-TiO2 was l ...
