Rational fabrication of chitosan/alginate/silica ternary aerogel beads adsorbent with free separation

Rational Development of Ternary Alloy Electrocatalysts.

Improving the efficiency of electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen represents one of the main challenges for the development of renewable energy technologies. Here, we report the systematic evaluation of Pt-ternary alloys (Pt3(MN)1 with M, N = Fe, Co, or Ni) as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). We first studied the ternary systems on extended surfaces of polycrystalline th...

Rational eigenvectors in spaces of ternary forms

We describe the explicit computation of linear combinations of ternary quadratic forms which are eigenvectors, with rational eigenvalues, under all Hecke operators. We use this process to construct, for each elliptic curve E of rank zero and conductor N < 2000 for which N or N/4 is squarefree, a weight 3/2 cusp form which is (potentially) a preimage of the weight two newform φE under the Shimur...

Shape deformation of ternary vesicles coupled with phase separation.

We report an experimental study on shape deformations of ternary vesicles undergoing phase separation under an osmotic pressure difference. The phase separation on various shape vesicles causes unique shape-deformation branches. In the domain coarsening stage, prolate, discocyte, and starfish vesicles show a shape convergence to discocytes, whereas a pearling instability is observed in tube ves...

Phase Separation of Viscous Ternary Liquid Mixtures

In this work we study the demixing of ternary liquid mixtures. Our theoretical model follows the standard diffuse interface model, where convection and diffusion are coupled via a body force, expressing the tendency of the mixture to minimize its free energy. This driving force induces a material flux which, in most cases, is much larger than that due to pure molecular diffusion. Here we model ...
