The structure and phase composition of colloidal SPM Fe3O4 NPs remains puzzling despite the availability of increasing amounts of structural information. Various spectroscopic measurements have shown that the structure of SPM Fe3O4 NPs can be describ...…
The pressure-induced transformation of the rare β-Fe2O3 phase has been studied for the first time, leading to the identification of a new iron(III) oxide polymorph, ζ-Fe2O3. The transformation of β-Fe2O3 into ζ-Fe2O3 occurs above 30 GPa, and the new ...…
No iron(III) oxide phase with a monoclinic crystal structure stable at atmospheric pressure and room temperature has ever been identified. Thus, ζ-Fe2O3 can be regarded as a new iron(III) oxide polymorphic family member. It is known that the stabilit...…
Spark Plasma Sintering and Hot Isostatic Pressing were used to synthesize coarse-grained and fine-grained Ti3AlC2 specimens. Moreover, Spark Plasma Sintering processing parameters were modified to vary the TiC, Al2O3, and TixAly impurity and porosity...…
We synthesized the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase by a ceramic synthesis route and confirmed its structure by X-ray diffraction (see the Supporting Information for full experimental details). It consists of a c-axis stacking sequence where two layers of edge-shar...…
Ti3AlC2, the first MAX phase to be used in heterogeneous catalysis, efficiently catalyzes the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of n-butane to butenes and butadiene, owing to its defective structure and non-stoichiometric oxide layer on the surface. De...…
What is Ti3AlC2?Ti₃AlC₂ is MAX Phase-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6₃/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent Ti sites. Ti is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry in the first Ti site to three equivalent Al and three equivalent ...…
What is Iron oxide?Iron(III) oxide is also used as a pigment under the names "Pigment Brown 6", "Pigment Brown 7", and "Pigment Red 101". Some of them, e.g., Pigment Red 101 and Pigment Brown 6, are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FD...…
What is Iron oxide?Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Fe2O3. It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(II, III) oxide (Fe3O4), which also occur...…
Aggregated fumed Silica can be applied to large surfaces to render them hydrophobic. Micro and nanoscale structures, resembling ball and block-like forms, are attributed to the hydrophobic characteristics. They enable silicone to be used safely in ov...…
The roble had hit a record low after the West imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia for its aggression in Ukraine. Russia's president recently ordered exports of Russian gas to "unfriendly" countries to be settled in robles. The speaker of Russia's up…
The nascent era of the Internet in the 1990s was Web 1.0. The Internet is seen as a way to democratize access to information, but there is no other good way to navigate apart from visiting your friends GeoCities page. This is very confusing…
