• Why gold-palladium alloys are better than palladium for hydrogen storage
  

  Materials that absorb hydrogen are used for hydrogen storage and purification, thus serving as clean energy carriers. The best-known hydrogen absorber, palladium (Pd), can be improved by alloying with gold (Au). New research led by The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science explains for more

• How do very small particles behave at very high temperatures?
  

  A Swansea University nanomaterials expert has been looking at how small gold particles survive when subjected to very high temperatures. The research is important to the engineering sector for some potential applications of nanotechnology, for example in catalysis and aerospace, where particles of o more

• A super resolution view of chemical reactions
  

  Researchers from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences have demonstrated, using a super resolution microscopic technique, how to follow chemical reactions taking place in very small volumes. The method of analysis developed by the Warsaw physicists in collaboration wi more

• Field-Flow Fractionation - The Universal Separation Principle for Particle and Macromolecule Characterization
  

  High molecular weight polymers, bio molecules or particles in a range of a few nanometers up to several microns are more and more important more

• Battling Corrosion in Refineries
  

  Corrosion in refinery operations has been, and still is, the subject of many studies, papers, courses and web forums. Although a lot of what has been written shows that significant progress in understanding corrosion has been made, it also makes it more

• Automated Dynamic Light Scattering
  

  DLS analysis is a widely applied, non-invasive method for measuring the effective size of molecules in solution. This technique yields valuable information for the characterization of molecules and particles. It facilitates formerly laborious and tim more

The Chemistry of Moisturisers

It’s the middle of summer, and hopefully, if you’re heading out in the sun, you’re taking the precaution of applying sun cream beforehand. Sometimes, however, you can end up with sunburn despite your best efforts to prevent it. After sun and moisturisers can help to soothe the burn – here, we take a more

• CTAB-assisted size controlled synthesis of SAPO-34 and its contribution toward MTO performance

  SAPO-34 shows higher light olefin selectivity in the reaction of methanol to olefin (MTO), but its small pore system implies diffusion limitation to bigger molecular products and results in coking too. To inhibit these limitations, sub-micrometric size SAPO-34 crystallites were successfully synthesi more
