Front Cover: Titanium Vacancies in TiO 2 Nanofibers Enable Highly Efficient Photodriven Seawater Splitting (Chem. Eur. J. 57/2021)

Photodriven spin change of Fe(II) benzimidazole compounds anchored to nanocrystalline TiO(2) thin films.

Ferrous tris-chelate compounds based on 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazole (pybzim) have been prepared and characterized for studies of spin equilibria in fluid solution and when anchored to the surface of mesoporous nanocrystalline (anatase) TiO(2) and colloidal ZrO(2) thin films. The solid state structure of Fe(pybzim)(3)(ClO(4))(2).CH(3)CN.H(2)O was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at...

Oxygen vacancies as active sites for water dissociation on rutile TiO(2)(110).

Through an interplay between scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and density functional theory calculations, we determine unambiguously the active surface site responsible for the dissociation of water molecules adsorbed on rutile TiO(2)(110). Oxygen vacancies in the surface layer are shown to dissociate H(2)O through the transfer of one proton to a nearby oxygen atom, forming two hydroxy...

Titanium Dioxide Nanofibers through Forcespinning

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers with potential applications in the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells, photocatalysts, gas sensors, and water treatment systems, among others, have been produced at large yield rates utilizing the Forcespinning (FS) technology. This study presents the results of research performed to determine optimal processing parameters to create TiO2 nanofibers at a...

Proceedings Front Cover 8X10

The integrated Rule Oriented Data Management System (iRODS) is a policy-driven data management system that is starting to be used by projects with large data volume requirements that require a highly available system. In this paper we describe an approach to provide a Highly Availability load-balanced iRODS System (HAIRS). We also describe the advantages and disadvantages of the approach and fu...
