The metal–support interaction between Ni and VN contributes to an outstanding performance for Ni/VN towards hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis following the Volmer–Tafel mechanism.

A first generation dendrimer comprised of a 9,9,9’,9’-tetra-n-hexyl substituted 2,2’-bifluorene core, biphenyl dendrons, and 2-ethylhexyloxy surface groups can rapidly detect high electron affinity, explosive-related analytes such as pnitrotoluene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene. Stern-Volmer analysis of the dendrimer in solution showed that the quenching could be either collisional or static but not a ...

We present a model for build-up of intrinsic stress during the deposition of thin metal films. The model assumes a three-phase stress generation mechanism which corresponds to three characteristic phases of microstructure evolution. The simulation results based on the model are successfully compared with experimental results for Poly-SiGe PECVD films. The impact of critical parameter variation ...

Herein, two new iridium(III) complexes, namely Ir2 and Ir3, with a phenyl or triphenylamine (TPA) moiety at the 4-position of ring 2-phenylbenzothiazole, have been synthesized, their emission properties studied systematically compared non-substituted complex Ir1. These three complexes exhibit aggregation-induced (AIE) in H2O/CH3CN. The TPA-substituted Ir3 shows highest AIE activity. All can be ...

The design of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the specific binding hydrophobic molecules (mitotane) was investigated by considering monomers and cross-linking agents with variable character, methyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate lauryl as functional monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate 1,6-hexanediol agents. MIPs were bound to a porous silica support means radical transfer react...

The mechanism of interaction of cyanocobalamin (CB) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated by spectrofluorometric and circular dichroism methods. Association constant for the CB-BSA system showed that the interaction is non-covalent in nature. Binding studies in the presence of an hydrophobic probe, 8-anilino-1naphthalene sulphonic acid, sodium salt (ANS) showed that there is hyd...

The solubilization capabilities of micellar solutions of three single surfactants, two alcohol alkoxylates B048 and B266, and the tallow alkyl ethoxylated amine ET15, and their equimolar mixed solutions toward the herbicides flurtamone (FL), metribuzin (MTZ) and mesotrione (MST) were investigated. The solubilization capacity was quantified in terms of the molar solubilization ratio (MSR), criti...
