Comparative study of CeO2 nanopowders obtained by the hydrothermal method from various precursors
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The effects of common precursors used in the synthesis of CeO2 nanopowders were investigated, and the structural and spectral properties of the resulting products were compared. Two cerium (III) salts, i.e., Ce(NO3)(3)center ...
Kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction on NiSn electrodes in alkaline solutions
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
In order to examine the intrinsic catalytic activity and durability of the electrodeposited NiSn alloy electrodes and the electrodeposited Ni as a reference electrode material for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in ...
Ni-(Ebonex-supported Ir) composite coatings as electrocatalysts for alkaline water electrolysis. Part I: Hydrogen evolution
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was studied at electrodeposited Ni and Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) composite coatings in 1 mol dm(-3) NaOH solution at 25 degrees C. The Ni-(Ebonex/Ir) coatings were electrodeposited from a nickel ...
Ex-situ sensitization of ordered TiO2 nanotubes with CdS quantum dots
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Ordered titania nanotubes (pore diameter approximate to 90 nm and wall thickness approximate to 10 nm) were obtained by the anodization technique and used for the ex-situ deposition of cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS ...
Dielectric and ferroelectric properties of BST ceramics obtained by a hydrothermally assisted complex polymerization method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 (BST) powder, obtained by a hydrothermal treatment of precursor solution previously prepared by a complex polymerization method (HT-CPM), was uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1280 degrees C for 1-32 h. The ...
Physical-mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated fly ash-blast furnace slag blends
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
This paper investigated physical mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated binders based on blends of fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS). FA BFS blends were alkali-activated with sodium silicate ...
A Comparative Analysis of Multiple Sclerosis-Relevant Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Ethyl Pyruvate and Dimethyl Fumarate
(Amer Assoc Immunologists, Bethesda, 2015)
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a new drug for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment, acts against neuroinflammation via mechanisms that are triggered by adduct formation with thiol redox switches. Ethyl pyruvate (EP), an off-the-shelf ...
Demographic flexibility influences colonization success: profiling invasive fish species in the Danube River by the use of population models
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2015)
Invasive species have the ability to modify their life-history traits in newly colonized areas, with positive shifts in specific life history traits under favourable environmental conditions. If such positive changes in ...
Fast photoluminescence quenching in thin films of 4,4 '-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1 '-biphenyl exposed to air
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
The photoluminescence (PL) quenching mechanism of UV light and air-exposed amorphous thin films of 4,4'-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (DPVBi), a well-known hole-transport material used in organic light-emitting ...
X-ray absorption near-edge structure micro-spectroscopy study of vanadium speciation in Phycomyces blakesleeanus mycelium
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2015)
Vanadium speciation in the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus was examined by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, enabling assessment of oxidation states and related molecular symmetries of this transition ...
