The elusive interfacial chemistry underlying solvent extraction has been mapped in real time using nonlinear laser spectroscopy
By combining the classic anion receptor calix[4]pyrrole (C4P) and a phenolic ligand, a remarkable enhancement in selectivity was found for Cs+ over Na+, which was confirmed by crystal structures and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), which sh
A new strategy to design strong metal-support interaction via a reverse route (SMSIR) is reported by starting from the final fully encapsulation, core-shell structure and treating it to obtain an intermediate state with favorable exposure of metal sites
By correlating electron microscopy and atom probe tomography (APT) with simulations, researchers revealed irradiation-induced chemical segregation and laid the foundation for APT nanovoid imaging.
Selective replacement of the top atoms of an atomically thin 2D crystal to form Janus monolayers has been achieved by hyperthermal implantation of clusters generated by laser ablation.
Pillar[5]quinone derived multi-microporous organic polymers with hydrophenazine linkages (MHP-P5Q) were synthesized via a solvent and catalyst-free mechanochemical
We show that hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions in the aqueous phase control the conformations of the polymers in the organic phase.
A new method based on molecular dynamics simulations and kinetic theory can predict the rate of molecules adsorbing to a surface from liquid.
In situ inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and IR spectroscopy provide the first direct evidence for the catalytic roles of cerium hydride (Ce-H) and hydroxyl group (OH) groups in acetylene hydrogenation over ceria as a function of the density
