Microanalysis: What Is It, Where Did It Come From, and Where Is It Going?

August 4, 2017
Author(s)
Dale E. Newbury
"Microanalysis" in the parlance of the Microanalysis Society (MAS) refers to spatially-resolved elemental and molecular analysis performed at the micrometer to nanometer to picometer scales by any combination of excitation and analytical spectrometry that

Unraveling the Single-Nanometer Thickness of Shells of Vesicle-Templated Polymer Nanocapsules

August 3, 2017
Author(s)
Andrew G.. Richter, Sergey A. Dergunov, Mariya D. Kim, Sergey N. Shmakov, Sai Venkatesh Pingali, Volker S. Urban, Yun Liu, Eugene Pinkhassik
The recent emergence of vesicle-templated nanocapsules as a viable platform for diverse applications has heightened the need for detailed structural characterization of nanocapsule shells and for better understanding of surfactant-mediated directed

Measurement and Modeling of the Ability of Crack Fillers to Prevent Chloride Ingress into Mortar

August 1, 2017
Author(s)
Scott Z. Jones, Dale P. Bentz, Jeffrey Davis, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, John L. Molloy, John R. Sieber
One of the most common repair procedures applied to damaged concrete is the filling of cracks by the application (injection) of an organic polymer. This operation is performed to increase the service life of the concrete by removing a preferential pathway

Transition and Alkali Metal Complex Ternary Amides for Ammonia Synthesis and Decomposition

July 21, 2017
Author(s)
Hujun Cao, Jianping Guo, Fei Chang, Claudio Pistidda, Wei Zhou, Xilun Zhang, Antonio Santoru, Hui Wu, Norbert Schell, Rainer Niewa, Ping Chen, Thomas Klassen, Martin Dornheim
A new complex ternary amide Rb 2[Mn(NHd2) 4], which simultaneously contains both transition and alkali metal catalytic sites, is developed. This is in line with the recently reported TM-LiH composite catalysts, which has been shown to effectively break the

Ultrahigh and Selective SO 2 Uptake in Inorganic Anion-Pillared Hybrid Porous Materials

July 21, 2017
Author(s)
Xili Cui, Qiwei Yang, Lifeng Yang, Rajamani Krishna, Zhiguo Zhang, Zongbi Bao, Hui Wu, Zongbi Ren, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen, Huabin Xing
The efficient capture of SO 2 is of great significance in gas purification processes including the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and natural gas purification, but the design of porous materials with high adsorption capacity and selectivity of SO 2 remains

Origin of Long Lifetime of Band-Edge Charge Carriers in organic-Inorganic Lead Iodide Perovskites

July 17, 2017
Author(s)
Tianran Chen, Wei-Liang Chen, Benjamin J. Foley, Jooseop Lee, Jacob P. C. Ruff, J. Y. Peter Ko, Craig Brown, Leland Harriger, Depei Zhang, Changwon Park, Mina Yoon, Yu-Ming Chang, Joshua J. Choi, Seung-Hun Lee
Long carrier lifetime is what makes hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) high performance photovoltaic materials. The microscopic mechanism behind the unusually long carrier lifetime of greater than equal to} 1 υs is not well understood. Here we

Fast-Responding Bio-Based Shape Memory Thermoplastic Polyurethanes

July 14, 2017
Author(s)
Zoran S. Petrovic, Jelena Milic, Fan Zhang, Jan Ilavsky
Fast response shape-memory polyurethanes were prepared from bio-based polyols, diphenyl methane diisocyanate and butane diol. The bio-based polyester polyols were synthesized from 9-hydroxynonanoic acid, a product obtained by ozonolysis of fatty acids

Formation of [Cu 2 O 2 ] 2+ and [Cu 2 O] 2+ Toward C-H Bond Activation in Cu-SSZ-13 and Cu-SSZ-39

July 7, 2017
Author(s)
Bahar Ipek, Matthew J. Wulfers, Hacksung Kim, Florian Goeltl, Ive Hermans, Joseph P. Smith, Karl S. Booksh, Craig Brown, Raul F. Lobo
Cu- exchanged small-pore zeolites (CHA and AEI) form methanol from methane (>95% selectivity) using a 3-step cyclic procedure (Wulfers, M. J.; Teketel, S.; Ipek, B.; Lobo, R. F. Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 4447–4450) with methanol amounts higher than Cu- ZSM-5

Rapid Large-Scale Assembly and Pattern Transfer of One-Dimensional Gold Nanorod Superstructures

July 7, 2017
Author(s)
Rana NMN Ashkar, Michael J. A. Hore, Xingchen Ye, Bharath NMN Natarajan, Nicholas J. Greybush, Thomas Lam, Christopher B. Murray
The utility of gold nanorods for plasmonic applications largely depends on the relative orientation and proximity of the nanorods within a material. Through previous studies have demonstrated methods that can generate side-by-side or chain-like nanorod

Compensated Ferrimagnetism in the Zero-Moment Heusler Alloy Mn 3 Al

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Michelle Elizabeth Jamer, Yung Jui Wang, Gregory M. Stephen, Ian J. McDonald, Alexander J Grutter, George E. Sterbinsky, Dario A. Arena, Julie A. Borchers, Brian J Kirby, Laura H. Lewis, Bernardo Barbiellini, Arun Bansil, Don Heiman
While antiferromagnets have been proposed as components to limit stray magnetic fields in spintronics devices, their inability to be spin polarized inhibits their use. Compensated ferrimagnets are a unique solution to this dilemma since they have zero net

Simultaneous Neutron and X-Ray Imaging of 3D Kerogen and Fracture Structure in Shales

June 17, 2017
Author(s)
Wei-Shan NMN Chiang, Jacob M LaManna, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Yun Liu, Jilin Zhang, Daniel T. Georgi, Jin-hong Chen
Hydrocarbon production from shales using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has been the key development in US energy industry in the past decade and has now become more important globally. Nevertheless, many fundamental problems related to the

A Flexible-Robust Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient Removal of Propyne from Propylene

June 15, 2017

Libo Li, Rui-Baio Lin, Rajamani Krishna, Xiaoqing Wang, Bin Li, Hui Wu, Jinping Li, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen
The removal of trace amount of propyne from propylene is critical for the production of polymer-grade propylene. We herein report the first example of metal-organic frameworks of flexible-robust nature for the efficient propyne/propylene separation. The

Optimized Separating Acetylene from Carbon Dioxide and Ethylene in a Microporous Material
