Bimetal Hydroxide Electrodes: “HOT” Alkaline Hydrolysis of Amorphous MOF Microspheres to Produce Ultrastable Bimetal Hydroxide Electrode with Boosted Cycling Stability (Small 49/2019)

Temperature Insensitive Curved Bimetal Elements

Space structures are subjected to appreciable temperature variations when they enter and leave direct solar radiation zones. These variations cause thermal strains and related structural distortions. Such deformations are often a nuisance and much engineering e ort, such as active control methods, is currently being invested in reducing the deformations and alleviating their e ects. This paper ...

Electrode reactions of iron oxide-hydroxide colloids.

Small-sized FeO(OH) colloids stabilised by sugars, commercially available for the clinical treatment of iron deficiency, show two waves during cathodic polarographic sweeps, or two current maxima with stationary electrodes, in neutral to slightly alkaline aqueous medium. Similar signals are observed with Fe(III) in alkaline media, pH > 12, containing citrate in excess. Voltammetric and polarogr...

Adhesion of voids to bimetal interfaces with non-uniform energies

Interface engineering has become an important strategy for designing radiation-resistant materials. Critical to its success is fundamental understanding of the interactions between interfaces and radiation-induced defects, such as voids. Using transmission electron microscopy, here we report an interesting phenomenon in their interaction, wherein voids adhere to only one side of the bimetal int...

Sugarcane bagasse delignification with potassium hydroxide for enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis

The optimization of an alkaline pretreatment process for the delignification of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) to enhance the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis was performed according to the Doehlert uniform shell design. In this experimental design, the effect of two factors—potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentration and autoclaving time at 121 C (1 atm)—on cellulose, hemicellulose, or the total polysacch...
