Modified Ni-carbonate interfaces for enhanced CO₂ methanation activity: tuned reaction pathway and reconstructed surface carbonates by Shen, Xuqiang, Wang, Zizhou, Wang, Qiaojuan, Tumurbaatar, Chantsalmaa, Bold, Tungalagtamir, Liu, Wen, Dai, Yihu, Tang, Yongming, Yang, Yanhui

“…A Ni/Zr-La2O2CO3 catalyst with interfaces between Ni metal and Zr-modified carbonate support was used for atmospheric CO2 methanation reaction, exhibiting 81% conversion and 99.6% CH4 selectivity at 300 °C. The Zr4+ ions incorporated in La2O2CO3 lattices properly strengthened the Ni-carbonate interaction for enhancing the Ni dispersion and hydrogen activation ability of the catalyst. …”

Three-dimensional modeling of near-field beam profiles from grating couplers using a deep neural network by Lim, Yu Dian, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…Integrated silicon photonics (SiPh) gratings have been widely studied for the optical addressing of trapped ions. As the formfactor of ion traps reduces, the ion-trapping height decreases, and may unavoidably fall into the reactive near-field region of SiPh gratings. …”

Raman spectroscopic study of the effects of dissolved NaCl and temperature on water structure by Wang, Yanan.

“…It is believed that the addition of NaCl introduces new ions, which breaks the water molecules tetrahedral hydrogen bonding and meanwhile helps to form the donor hydrogen bonding, thus the number of free OH bonds is slightly lowered. …”

Structural basis of haptoglobin-haemoglobin scavenging by CD163 by Zhou, X

“…Indeed, biophysical assays show that calcium ions are critical for ligand binding. Mutational studies demonstrate that while monomeric CD163 can scavenge the multimeric Hp(2-2)Hb, uptake of the dimeric Hp(1-1)Hb and Hb is impaired compared to the wild-type receptor, suggesting that receptor multimerisation evolved to facilitate uptake of lower affinity ligands. …”

Experimental study on durability properties of kenaf fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete by Noor Abbas, Al-Ghazali, Abdul Aziz, Farah Nora Aznieta, Abdan, Khalina, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline, Fahim Huseien, Ghasan

“…Hence, this article aims to understand the performance of kenaf fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete (KFRGC) in terms of water absorption, porosity, sorptivity, water penetration, and resistance against chloride ions penetration and chemical attacks. The results showed that the addition of KF increased the porosity of the geopolymer, thus increasing the water absorption-related properties. …”
