چکیده
© 2014 Materials Research Society MRS BULLETIN • VOLUME 39 • FEBRUARY 2014 • www.mrs.org/bulletin Introduction The development of (electro)catalytic materials has traditionally relied on the design of new compositions and structures. In principle, previously unseen and desirable properties can be obtained by perturbing the structure of existing materials with elastic strain. Uncovering the fundamental mechanisms by which elastic strain alters the kinetics of (electro-)catalytic reactions can enable a new route to design highly effi cient catalysts 1

Flow Over an Exponentially Stretching Porous Sheet with Cross-diffusion Effects and Convective Thermal Conditions
This article investigates the influence of cross-diffusion on the viscous fluid flow over a porous sheet stretching exponentially by applying the convective thermal conditions. Velocity slip at the boundary is considered. The numerical solutions to the governing equations are evaluated using successive linearisation procedure and Chebyshev collocation method. It is observed from this study that...

In the present investigation, the magnetohydrodynamic Falkner-Skan flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluids over a stretching/shrinking wedge with variable suction, internal heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction with activation energy have been scrutinized. Nanofluid model is composed of “Brownian motion’’ and “Thermophoresis’’. Transformed non-dimensional coupled non-linear equations a...
متن کاملEffects of Some Thermo-Physical Parameters on Free Convective Heat and Mass Transfer over Vertical Stretching Surface at Absolute Zero
Effects of some thermo-physical parameters on free convective heat and mass transfer over a vertical stretching surface at lowest level of heat energy in the presence of suction is investigated. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature and thermal conductivity is assumed constant. A similarity transformation is applied to reduce the governing equations i...
متن کاملEffects of Aluminum Incorporation in Tobermorite Structure on Chloride Diffusion: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study
In this paper, the effects of different aluminum to silicon ratios in silicate chains of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) are evaluated on the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions by molecular dynamics method. Tobermorite is a crystalline phase that is used for studying C-S-H properties in nano scale, because of its analogous chemical composition to C-S-H. Aluminum incorporation in C-S-H and...
متن کاملEnhanced electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction on platinum alloys in proton exchange membrane fuel cells *
Enhanced electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on carbon-supported binary and ternary alloys of Pt in phosphoric acid fuel cells has been reported previously. This investigation focuses on the electrocatalysis of the ORR on some binary alloys of Pt (Pt+Ni, Pt+Cr and Pt+Co) at interfaces with proton exchange membranes (Dow perfluorinated sulfonic acids). Comparison of the resul...
