Abstract: Hydrogen production via Sorption-Enhanced Chemical-Looping reforming combines hydrocarbons reforming (in this case methane reforming), by chemical-looping auto-thermal reforming, with water-gas shift and carbonation reactions. Both H2 production rate and concentration depend on the chemical equilibrium that is established in the fuel reactor and that is influenced by several parameter...

Two amphiphilic brush-rod block copolymers, PEGMA37-b-MBPS87 and PEGMA37-b-MBPS141, were synthesized via ATRP of poly(ethylene glycol)monomethyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) and (þ)-2,5-bis[40-((S)-2-methylbutoxy)phenyl]styrene (MBPS). The self-assembly of the copolymers in THF/H2O was induced by different methods. Spheres were dominant morphologies of PEGMA37-b-MBPS87 regardless of the initial c...

Four thorium sulfate compounds have been synthesized and characterized. [Th(SO4)2(H2O)7] 2H2O (ThS1) crystallizes in space group P21/m, a1⁄47.2488(4), b1⁄412.1798(7), c1⁄48.0625(5) Å, b1⁄498.245(1); Na10[Th2(SO4)9(H2O)2] 3H2O (ThS2), Pna21, a1⁄417.842(2), b1⁄46.9317(8), c1⁄427.550(3) Å; Na2[Th2(SO4)5 (H2O)3] H2O (ThS3), C2/c, a1⁄416.639(2), b1⁄49.081(1), c1⁄425.078(3) Å, b1⁄4 95.322(2); [Th4(SO...

We are using a laser engineering approach to develop and optimize hydrous ruthenium dioxide (RuOxHy or RuO2·0.5 H2O) pseudocapacitors. We employ a novel laser forward transfer process, Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation Direct Write (MAPLE-DW), in combination with UV laser machining, to fabricate mesoscale pseudocapacitors and microbatteries under ambient temperature and atmospheric condi...

To probe the cis effect of the corrin macrocycle in vitamin B12 derivatives, equilibrium constants for the substitution of coordinated H2O in aquacobalamin (vitamin B12a, H2OCbl+) and in aqua-10-chlorocobalamin, H2O-10-ClCbl+, (in which Cl has replaced the C10 H) by an exogenous ligand, L (L = an anion, NO2-, SCN-, N3-, OCN-, S2O3(2-), NCSe- or a neutral N-donor, CH3NH2, pyridine, imidazole) ha...
