For the first time, a ZIF-8 membrane was grown on the inner surface of a ceramic hollow fiber via cycling precursors. The inner-side hollow fiber ZIF-8 membrane exhibits good performance for recovering hydrogen.

Finitely-hollow lifting and hollow-weak modules are two generalizations of hollow module which is a weaker version module. In this paper, we have defined another generalization hollow-lifting namely finitely-hollow-weak (f-hollow-weak lifting) Various properties been seen found that, it not closed under quotients summands in general, so sufficient conditions provided f-hollow-weak property inhe...

The fullerenes are the first "free-standing" elemental hollow cages identified by spectroscopy experiments and synthesized in the bulk. Here, we report experimental and theoretical evidence of hollow cages consisting of pure metal atoms, Au(n)(-) (n = 16-18); to our knowledge, free-standing metal hollow cages have not been previously detected in the laboratory. These hollow golden cages ("bucky...

Highly hierarchical hollow bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) microspheres self-assembled by thin nanoplates have been fabricated via a facile template-free solvothermal route. The possible growth pattern and formation mechanism of hierarchical hollow Bi2WO6 microspheres was investigated. The excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance on rhodamine B (RhB) degradation was displayed by hie...

The effects of strong interactions between Ti and ceria on the structures of Ti/CeO2(111) are systematically investigated by density functional theory calculation. To our best knowledge, the adsorption energy of a Ti atom at the hollow site of CeO2 is the highest value (-7.99 eV) reported in the literature compared with those of Au (-0.88--1.26 eV), Ag (-1.42 eV), Cu (-2.69 eV), Pd (-1.75 eV), ...

0.1016/j.nanoen.2 lsevier Ltd. All rig thors. : [email protected] Abstract Core–shell structured hollow SnO2–polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites (SnO2@PPy) with excellent electrochemical performance were synthesized using a hydrothermal method followed by an in situ chemical-polymerization route. The thickness of the polymerized amorphous PPy coating covering on the hollow SnO2 microspheres is abou...

A new concept for preparing hollow metal oxide nanopowders by salt-assisted spray pyrolysis applying nanoscale Kirkendall diffusion is introduced. The composite powders of metal oxide and indecomposable metal salt are prepared by spray pyrolysis. Post-treatment under a reducing atmosphere and subsequent washing using distilled water produce aggregation-free metal nanopowders. The metal nanopowd...

Introducing hollow structures into metallic nanoparticles has become a promising route to improve their catalytic performances. A fundamental understanding of thermal stability of these novel nanostructures is of significance for their syntheses and applications. In this article, molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to offer insights into the thermodynamic evolution of hollow bimet...

Purpose. Closed hollow bulb obturators are used for the rehabilitation of postmaxillectomy patients. However, the time consuming process, complexity of fabrication, water leakage, and discoloration are notable disadvantages of this technique. This paper describes a clinical report of fabricating closed hollow bulb obturator using a single flask and one time processing method for an acquired max...

Plane-wave pseudopotential Density Functional Theory (OFT) periodic slab calculations were performed usingthe giteralized gradient approximation (GHA) to investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide(NO) on the (I II)surface of Cu. Copper rface was stimulated using th P 'odic Slab Method consisting of Five atomic Layers.Four different adsorption saes (Atop. Bridge, RCP Hollow, and FCC Hollow) were...
