Structure, morphology and composition of different tin oxide and germanium oxide thin film catalysts for the methanol steam reforming (MSR) reaction have been studied by a combination of (High-resolution) Transmission Electron Microscopy, Selected Area Electron Diffraction, Darkfield imaging and Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy. Deposition of the thin films on NaCl(001) cleavage faces has been...

As one of the most important and universal posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, S-nitrosylation (SNO) plays crucial roles in a variety of biological processes, including the regulation of cellular dynamics and many signaling events. Knowledge of SNO sites in proteins is very useful for drug development and basic research as well. Unfortunately, it is both time-consuming and costl...

Ta-doped tin oxide, SnO , films have been deposited using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition system on sapphire (0001) 2 substrates in temperature range of 400–6008C. When Ta concentration is varied from 0 to 8.30 at.% in the films, the electrical resistivity is changed by three orders of magnitude where the minimum resistivity was observed at 1.35% of Ta. An increase in the carrier concent...

High specific surface area (SSA(BET): 141.6 m(2)/g) SnO(2) nanoparticles doped with 0.2-3 wt% Ru were successfully produced in a single step by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP). The phase and crystallite size were analyzed by XRD. The specific surface area (SSA(BET)) of the nanoparticles was measured by nitrogen adsorption (BET analysis). As the Ru concentration increased, the SSA(BET) was found to ...

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are responsible for sensing and transducing signals to regulate various cellular functions and signaling events. S-nitrosylation (SNO) is one of the most important and universal PTMs. With the avalanche of protein sequences generated in the post-genomic age, it is highly desired to develop computational methods for timely identifying the exact ...

Abstract In this work, CuO-loaded tetragonal SnO 2 nanoparticles (CuO/SnO NPs) were synthesized using precipitation/impregnation methods with varying Cu contents of 0–25 wt% and characterized for H S detection. The material phase, morphology, chemical composition, specific surface area NPs evaluated X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning energy-dispersive spectroscopy, ph...

The phosphor deposits of the β-sialon:Eu2+ mixed with various amounts (0-1 g) of the SnO₂ nanoparticles were fabricated by the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. The mixed SnO₂ nanoparticles was observed to cover onto the particle surfaces of the β-sialon:Eu2+ as well as fill in the voids among the phosphor particles. The external and internal quantum efficiencies (QEs) of the prepared d...

Tin(II) ketoacidoximates of the type [HON=CRCOO]2Sn (R = Me 1, CH2Ph 2) and (MeON=CMeCOO)3Sn](-) NH4(+)·2H2O 3 were synthesized by reacting pyruvate- and hydroxyl- or methoxylamine RONH2 (R = H, Me) with tin(II) chloride dihydrate SnCl2·2H2O. The single crystal X-ray structure reveals that the geometry at the Sn atom is trigonal bipyramidal in 1, 2 and trigonal pyramidal in 3. Inter- or intramo...
