We review oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectra of both molecules and solids. We start
with an overview of the main experimental aspects of oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption …

Synchrotron-based spectroscopic techniques have contributed significantly to a better
understanding of the properties of materials on the macroscopic and microscopic scale over …

The balance between degradation and preservation of sedimentary organic carbon (OC) is
important for global carbon and oxygen cycles. The relative importance of different …

Particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) is an enzyme that oxidizes methane to
methanol with high activity and selectivity. Limited success has been achieved in …

The amount of ice present in clouds can affect cloud lifetime, precipitation and radiative
properties,. The formation of ice in clouds is facilitated by the presence of airborne ice …

Thanks to nitrogen introduced into the layered carbon framework of graphite, the chemical
reactivity of the carbon atoms was increased. N‐doped graphitic catalysts generate reactive …

The coprecipitation of organic carbon with iron minerals is important for its preservation in
soils and sediments, but the mechanisms for carbon-iron interactions and thus the controls …

The chemical constitution of functionalized supports is an important parameter that
determines their performance in a broad range of applications, eg for immobilization of …

An efficient bio-piezoelectric nanogenerator (BPNG) is fabricated from the fish swim bladder
(FSB), composed of well-aligned natural collagen nano–fibrils. The self-alignment of highly …

Energy harvesting performance of an efficient flexible bio-piezoelectric nanogenerator
(BPNG) is demonstrated, where “bio-waste” transparent fish scale (FSC), composed of self …
