Water is the universal solvent and plays a critical role in all known geological and biological
processes. Confining water in nano-scale domains, as encountered in sedimentary rocks, in …

Interest in new tools for the analysis of catalytic materials is growing due to the potential to
enhance their functionality through the optimal nanostructuring, for example, of pore …

Atmospheric water harvesting with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a new technology
providing a clean, long-term water supply in arid areas. In-situ positron annihilation lifetime …

The annihilation sites of ortho-positronium formed by positrons incident on Y zeolites with
different Si/Al ratios are investigated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy in …

Water confined in cylindrical pores of silica with a diameter of 2 nm was studied by positron
annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. Instead of freezing at 273 K, the glass-like transition …

Abstract β-Cyclodextrin/ibuprofen inclusion complex was synthesized by freeze-drying
method and characterized for phase solubility profiles, infrared spectra, thermal analysis …

We propose a model for solvated positronium (Ps) atoms in water, based on the sequential
quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (s-QM/MM) protocol. We developed a Lennard …

In the present report, Al-SBA mesoporous materials were investigated for use as water
adsorbents. Different precursors for aluminum were investigated: aluminum sulfate and …

Modified zeolite ZSM-5 samples were prepared by synthesis in the presence of the organics
acting as mesoporogens: cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) …

Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations were used to
investigate the role of adsorption during seeded and heterogeneous crystallization. The …
