• Small particles with a bright future

  Phosphors form the basis of many applications in our daily life. Their further development is the goal of the project "LUMINET" which is funded by the EU in the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) to the tune of 3.6 million Euros over four years. For this purpose, a network of twelve research institutes a more

• Hiroshima University is first to install Malvern Instruments’ new Zetasizer Nano ZSP
  

  Dr Kikuo Okuyama ofthe Department of Chemical Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering, Hiroshima University in Japan, was the first customer to take delivery of a Zetasizer Nano ZSP from Malvern Instruments. In Dr Okuyama’s work the objective is to find alternative materials for rare earth more

• Rare earths: The price pressure is abating, but the high cost is still a major hurdle

  The price spiral of the 17 rare earth elements has slowly been losing momentum. But prices remain high – a problem mainly for high-tech companies. High prices are a problem particularly for suppliers of magnets for e-mobility and wind turbines, LED lamp makers and providers of batteries and catalyti more

• Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3-catalyzed cycloaddition of terminal alkynes to azides leading to 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles: new mechanistic features

  The first example of rare earth metal-catalyzed cycloaddition of terminal alkynes to azides resulting in the formation of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles is described. Preliminary studies revealed that the present cycloaddition shows unprecedented mechanistic features involving a tandem anionic ca more

• Green chemistry for organic solar cells

  Essentially all methods of energy production—e.g., fracking, damming, drilling, nuclear fission, and excavation of rare-earth metals for photovoltaics—are associated with some degree of environmental degradation. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are regarded as low-cost and potentially environmentally ben more

• Layered polymorph of rare earth hydroxides

  A layered polymorph series of rare earth hydroxides has been developed by the conversion of RE2(OH)5Cl∙mH2O to RE(OH)3∙nH2O (RE = rare earths) in a typical layered structure with interlayer water molecules. A temperature-induced phase transition from the layered polymorph to its hexagonal form is co more
