We study equilibrium properties of a catalytically-activated annihilation A + A → 0 reaction taking place on a one-dimensional chain of length N (N → ∞) in which some segments (placed at random, with mean concentration p) possess special, catalytic properties. Annihilation reaction takes place, as soon as any two A particles land onto two vacant sites at the extremities of the catalytic segment...

Enzymes play a vital role in catalysing almost all chemical reactions that occur in biological systems. Some enzymes must form complexes with non-protein molecules called cofactors to express catalytic activities. Although the control of catalytic reactions via apoenzyme-cofactor complexes has attracted significant attention, the reports have been limited to the microscale. Here, we report a sy...

Perovskite-type oxides of LaFe(1+x)O(3+δ) (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.5 and 0.7) were synthesized by citrate sol–gel methodto ensure the formation of nanosized perovskites. The physicochemical properties of these LaFe(1+x)O(3+δ)materials were characterized by thermal gravimetric/differential analyses, Fourier transform infraredspectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron and...

background diatomite coated by nanoparticles of copper and zinc mixed oxides were used to investigate catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide. objectives aim of this paper was to investigatediatomite performance as a supporting host to confine the cuo and zno nanoparticles and its catalytic activity for carbon monoxide oxidation. materials and methods the prepared catalysts were characterized by...
