Abstract. A large probe molecule, cumene, was chosen to study diffusion and adsorption on mesopore structured ZSM-5, using a high precision intelligent gravimetric analyzer. Compared with ZSM-5, a 2–3 order of magnitude increase in the diffusion coefficient of cumene was observed on the mesopore structured ZSM-5. The increased adsorption rate and the increased adsorption heat with increas…
Abstract. The PDMS/montmorillonite–chlorhexidine acetate (PDMS/OMMT) nanocomposite films were successfully obtained by intercalation from solution. Organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) with antibacterial activity was prepared from Na+-montmorillonite (Na+-MMT) and chlorhexidine acetate (CA) by ion exchange. The microstructure of these nanocomposite films were characterized by TEM and XRD. The ef…
The authors report the observation of the reversal in the magnetization hysteresis curve of europium sulfide nanocrystals. This phenomenon was investigated through the temperature-dependent magnetization of two classes of nanomaterials, nanocrystalline 2.0 nm
ABSTRACT This work presents two points with respect to manganese oxide (MnOx) nanomaterials: their controllable synthesis with desired phases and shapes together with their applications as catalysts for oxygen reduction and Al/air batteries. Solid MnOx with crystalline phases of MnOOH, Mn2O3, and MnO2 as well as shapes of the sphere, wire, rod, and particle were prepared through a simple one-…
