Kinetic Separation of Propylene over Propane in a Microporous Metal-Organic Framework

August 30, 2018
Author(s)
Libo Li, Xiaoqing NMN Wang, Wei Zhou, Litao Jia, Banglin Chen
Propylene (C 3H 6)/propane (C 3H 8) separation is one of the most challenging as well as most energy-intensive separation processes in the petrochemical industry. Herein we report a microporous metal-organic framework ELM-12 with appropriate channels where

Nanoparticle Architecture Preserves Magnetic Properties during Coating to Enable Robust Multi-Modal Functionality

August 23, 2018
Author(s)
Lauren E. Woodard, Cindi L. Dennis, Julie Borchers, Anilchandra Attaluri, Esteban Velarde, Charlene Dawidczyk, Peter C. Searson, Martin G. Pomper, Robert Ivkov
Mixed metal/metal oxide nanoparticles offer potential as multifunctional platforms for disease diagnosis and therapy, or 'theranostics' [1-9]. We describe the synthesis and characterization of gold/silica/iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles, for which the

Complex coacervation in polyelectrolytes from a coarse-grained model

August 22, 2018
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Marat Andreev, Juan J. DePablo, Vivek Prabhu, Matthew Tirrell
Polyelectrolyte coacervation refers to the formation of distinct liquid phases that arise when polyelectrolytes are mixed under appropriate polymer and salt concentrations. Molecular-level studies of complex polyelectrolyte coacervation have been limited

Fe 2 MnGe: A Hexagonal Heusler Analogue

August 20, 2018
Author(s)
S. Keshavarz, N. Naghibolashrafi, Michelle E. Jamer, K. Vinson, D. Mazumdar, Cindi L. Dennis, William D. Ratcliff, Julie Borchers, A. Gupta, P. LeClair
Fe 2MnGe is a potential half-metallic full-Heusler L2 1 ferromagnetic compound with large spin polarization (approximately equal}97%) useful for various spintronic applications according to our first principles calculations using density functional theory

Methane Storage in Paddlewheel-Based Porous Coordination Cages

August 18, 2018
Author(s)
Casey A. Rowland, Gregory R. Lorzing, Eric J. Gosselin, Benjamin Trump, Glenn P. A. Yap, Craig Brown, Eric D. Bloch
Although gas adsorption properties of extended three-dimensional metal-organic materials have been widely studied, they remain relatively unexplored in porous molecular systems. This is particularly the case for porous coordination cages which typically

In Situ Nanoscale Characterization of Water Penetration through Plasma Polymerized Coatings

August 1, 2018
Author(s)
Yang Zhou, Brian Patrick Josey, Emmanuel Anim-Danso, Brian B. Maranville, Jenia Karapetrova, Zhang Jiang, Qixin Zhou, Ali Dhinojwala, Mark D. Foster
The search continues for means of making quick determinations of the efficacy of a coating for protecting a metal surface against corrosion. One means of reducing the time scale needed to differentiate the performance of different coatings is to draw from

Aggregation and Solubility of a Model Conjugated Donor-Acceptor Polymer

July 31, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel R. Reid, Nicholas E. Jackson, Alexander J. Bourque, Chad R. Snyder, Ronald L. Jones, Juan de Pablo
In organic semiconductors, solution-phase polymer structure and aggregation have a strong influence on device morphology and performance. Thus, understanding solubility of conjugated polymers is crucial for their rational design. Using a combination of

Controllable Wide-range n- and p-Doping of Monolayer Group 6 Transition-metal Disulfides and Diselenides
