Electrochemical generation of hydrogen peroxide by Goh, Kiat Yin

“…This study focuses on finding the optimal catalytic mass loading of Modified Carbon Black (MCB) (0.05 mg cm-2, 0.5625 mg cm-2 and 1.125 mg cm-2) for achieving high yields of H2O2 through membrane electrode assembly (MEA) porous solid electrolyte cell. Rotating Ring Disk Electrode experiments were conducted to determine the activity and selectivity of the different mass loadings. …”

The effect of bonding structure of diamond like carbon (DLC) film with surface nickel coating upon laser annealing by Xu, Naiyun, Tsang, Siu Hon, Tan, Chong Wei, Teo, Hang Tong, Wang, Xincai, Tay, Beng Kang

“…The Raman spectra shows more pronounced change for a-C films with Ni coating than those without Ni coating upon laser annealing, and the Raman features also suggest that the Ni surface coating can enhance formation of the six-ring graphitic-like sp2 ordering. Electrical measurement shows a low resistive characteristic for both set of films due to laser induced conducting sp2 clusters formation.…”

Transient dynamics of a one-dimensional Holstein polaron under the influence of an external electric field by Huang, Zhongkai, Chen, Lipeng, Zhou, Nengji, Zhao, Yang

“…In particular, at variance with the case of an infinite linear chain, no steady state is found in a finite-sized ring within the anti-adiabatic regime. For strong diagonal coupling, the multi-math formula Anstaz is found to be highly accurate, and the phonon confinement gives rise to exciton localization and decay of the Bloch oscillations.…”

C–H activation and nucleophilic substitution in a photochemically generated high valent iron complex by Lim, Jia Hui, Engelmann, Xenia, Corby, Sacha, Ganguly, Rakesh, Ray, Kallol, Soo, Han Sen

“…The presence of labile Cl− or Br− results in a ligand-based oxidation and stabilisation of a radical-cationic (TAML˙+)FeIII complex, which subsequently leads to unprecedented C–H activation followed by nucleophilic substitution on the TAML aryl ring. In contrast, exogenous cyanide culminates in metal-based oxidation, yielding the first example of a crystallographically characterised S = 1 [(TAML)FeIV(CN)2]2− species. …”
