ABSTRACT: Columnar mesoporous silicon (PSi) with hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic chemistries was chosen as a model for the local (pore-by-pore) study of water-pore interactions. Tomographic reconstructions provided a 3D view of the ramified pore structure. An in situ...
ABSTRACT: The development of the super-lyophilic surface has gained tremendous attention due to its wide applications in the industrial and engineering fields. However, there are still challenges in preparing super-amphiphilic surfaces, especially microstructure...
ABSTRACT: Nanoceria (NC) are widely studied as potent nanozyme antioxidants, featuring unique multifunctional, self-regenerative, and high-throughput enzymatic functions. However, bare NC are reported to show poor colloidal stability in biological media. Despite this,...
ABSTRACT: Direct fabrication of pure metallic nanostructures is one of the main aims of focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID). It was recently achieved for gold deposits by the co-injection of a water precursor and the gold precursor Au(tfac)Me 2 . In this...
ABSTRACT: We present a new set of reference materials, the ND70-series, for in situ measurement of volatile elements (H2 O, CO2 , S, Cl, F) in silicate glass of basaltic composition. The materials were synthesised in piston cylinders at pressures of 1 to 1.5 GPa under...
