Computational diagnostics and characterization of combustion recession in diesel sprays by Arguelles, FJ, Fagade, MD, Mehra, J, Xu, C, Sekularac, N, Fang, XH

“…While low-temperature combustion (LTC) strategies have been found to mitigate nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions in diesel engines, studies have also associated LTC with an increase in unburnt hydrocarbons. …”

Optical properties of ultrathin metal oxide and metal films : effect of free electrons, quantum confinement and localized surface plasmon resonance by Li, Xiao Dong

“…The effect of free electrons on optical properties of AZO and a-IGZO thin films has been investigated. The comparison study of the free electrons between the undoped ZnO and AZO shows that free electrons could greatly suppress the excitonic absorption near the band edge and result in an expansion of band gap due to the free electrons effect. …”

The effect of tuning the coordination sphere of iron complexes for the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic media by Wang, Xiaojiang, Zheng, Tianlong, Tang, Yizhao, Li, Xiaoyu, Rykov, Alexandre I., Li, Xuning, Wang, Junhu, He, Qinggang, Cheng, Jun, Zhang, Xue

“…As a type of important non-precious catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the regulating role of a metal centre in metal-macrocycles and other complexes for activity has been extensively studied. However, a common guideline to explain the effect of peripheral coordinated-ligands has not been reached. …”
