Ba-Doped Iron Oxide as a New Material for NO2 Detection

  • Christian Lopez,
  • Chiara Baroni and
  • Jean-Marc Tulliani

22 October 2013

Various compositions of barium-doped hematite between pure hematite (α-Fe2O3) and pure barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) were synthesized by solid state reaction. The XRD analyses confirmed the progressive evolution of the two crystalline phases. Tests...

On the Nature of Voltammetric Signals Originating from Hydrogen Electrosorption into Palladium-Noble Metal Alloys

  • Mariusz Łukaszewski,
  • Katarzyna Hubkowska,
  • Urszula Koss and
  • Andrzej Czerwiński

22 October 2013

Hydrogen sorption/desorption signals observed on cyclic voltammograms in experiments on hydrogen electrosorption into Pd-noble metal alloys (Pd-Au, Pd-Pt, Pd-Rh, Pd-Ru, Pd-Pt-Rh, Pd-Pt-Au) were characterized. The influence of electrosorption potentia...

  • Pablo Haro Dominguez,
  • Ana Arenillas,
  • Jaume Cot,
  • Jens Weber and
  • Rafael Luque

18 October 2013

Carbonaceous porous materials derived from leather skin residues have been found to have excellent CO2 adsorption properties, with interestingly high gas selectivities for CO2 (α > 200 at a gas composition of 15% CO2/85% N2, 273K, 1 bar) and capac...

Thermodynamic Tuning of Mg-Based Hydrogen Storage Alloys: A Review

  • Min Zhu,
  • Yanshan Lu,
  • Liuzhang Ouyang and
  • Hui Wang

18 October 2013

Mg-based hydrides are one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials because of their relatively high storage capacity, abundance, and low cost. However, slow kinetics and stable thermodynamics hinder their practical application. In contrast to...

Room-Temperature Electron Spin Generation by Femtosecond Laser Pulses in Colloidal CdS Quantum Dots

  • Haifang Tong,
  • Donghai Feng,
  • Xiao Li,
  • Li Deng,
  • Yuxin Leng,
  • Tianqing Jia and
  • Zhenrong Sun

15 October 2013

We present an experimental investigation of optical spin orientation in colloidal CdS quantum dots (QDs) by a femtosecond laser pulse at room temperature. The spin carrier and its spin-generation process are clarified. Firstly, the observed spin sign...
