Due to their outstanding and tunable electronic properties, platinum nanowires have the potential to be used in the development of advanced devices. The quantum confinement effect of the electrons and the increased surface ...

In the present work geometric optimizations, Metropolis Monte Carlo, and molecular dynamics simulations were done to study the feasibility of synthesizing Ni and Pt nanowires inside the pores of one dimensional zeolite ...

The Pair Distribution Function (PDF) is a total scattering method used to study the local structure of a material and yields a function in real space with peaks that represent the interatomic distances. In this work, we ...

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are considered emerging contaminants that present great challenges for their remediation from water systems. Unfortunately, traditional water treatment methods are not ...

The extent of the detemplation process in Me-SBE (Me = Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+) aluminophosphates was investigated. Hydrothermal synthesis conditions were optimized to obtain materials with minimal phase impurities. SEM analysis ...

Metal-modified zeolites have proven to be effective catalysts for various important reactions involving the transformation of biomass-derived molecules and the conversion of greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4. In this ...
