Multi-electron, multi-proton transfer is important in a wide spectrum of processes spanning
biological, chemical and physical systems. These reactions have attracted significant …

In chemistry and physics the electronic charge on a species or material is one important
determinant of its properties. In the present Minireview, the essential requirements for a …

Surface science has had a major influence on the understanding of processes at surfaces
relevant to catalysis. Real catalysts are complex materials, and in order to approach an …

A highly sensitive label-free chemical sensing platform for the detection of various metal ions
is demonstrated. The chemical sensor was derived from a single-mode fiber that is inserted …

Molecular adsorption on surfaces is a key element for many applications, including sensing
and catalysis. Non-invasive sugar sensing has been an active area of research due to its …

The use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as adsorbent/separation agents for the removal
of heavy metal-based compounds from aqueous environments has received much attention …

Early transition metal carbides (TMC; TM= Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo) with face-centered cubic
crystallographic structure have emerged as promising materials for CO2 capture and …

CO adsorption on size-controlled Au nanoparticles grown on an h-BN/Rh (111) nanomesh
surface has been examined to probe their potential catalytic properties. A combination of …

Lithium atoms were dispersed in CHAbazite-type zeolite to investigate the effects of differing
amount of dispersed atoms on hydrogen storage. Each structures were relaxed after lithium …

In order to design catalytic materials, we need to understand the essential causes for
material properties resulting from its composite nature. In this paper we discuss two, at first …
