The kinetics of oxide formation in the presence of water vapour are discussed and compared
with oxidation in dry atmospheres. The main protective oxide systems are considered, ie …

Though γ-Al2O3 has played a central role in heterogeneous catalysis for more than two
centuries, its microstructure continues to be debated. Specifically, the positions of Al3+ …

Amorphous ZrO2 and YSZ thin films with controlled microstructures were fabricated using
PLD with an ArF excimer laser at room temperature, so as to attain high proton conductivity …

Innovative anodic aluminum oxides (AAO) can be created by applying pulsed/oscillated
signals during the aluminum anodizing process. However, a deeper understanding of the …

The need for new solutions for electrical insulation is growing due to the increased
electrification in numerous industrial sectors, opening the door for innovation. Plasma …

In this paper, the CO oxidation on Pd/TiO 2 and Pd/SnO 2/TiO 2 catalysts was studied using
a non-conventional tool: AC electrical measurements in operando conditions. The structural …

The effect mechanism of microstructure and environmental conditions on the dielectric
properties of plasma-sprayed Al 2 O 3 insulating coatings was systematically investigated in …

High surface area BN powders have been prepared from different precursors to be used as
supports for noble metal catalysts. The more suitable boron nitride powders were obtained …

Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy has demonstrated γ′-Ni3Al formation at
the alloy/oxide interface during β-NiAl (110) oxidation under specific conditions. Diffusion …

Boron nitride supported metal oxide (In2O3, Ga2O3 and SnO2) catalysts were prepared
using a sol–gel method. The amounts of metal oxides (15–22wt.%) deposed on the BN …
