Essential role of lattice oxygen in methanol electrochemical refinery toward formate by Meng, Fanxu, Wu, Qian, Elouarzaki, Kamal, Luo, Songzhu, Sun, Yuanmiao, Dai, Chencheng, Xi, Shibo, Chen, Yubo, Lin, Xinlong, Fang, Mingliang, Wang, Xin, Mandler, Daniel, Xu, Jason Zhichuan

“…Here, using 18O isotope-labeled catalysts, we find that the oxygen atoms in formate generated during the methanol e-refinery reaction can originate from the catalysts' lattice oxygen and the O-2p-band center levels can serve as an effective descriptor to predict the catalytic performance of the catalysts, namely, the formate production rates and Faradaic efficiencies. …”

Partial purification and characterization of molybdenum reducing enzyme from Escherichia coli strain K12 by Sulaiman, Mohd Haris

“…Partial purification and characterization were conducted on molybdenum reducing enzyme with anion exchange chromatography using GE-Healthcare Mono-QTM column and gel filtration chromatography using Agilent ZorbaxTM (GF-250) column. Two bands were visualized on the gel filtration fraction at 95.64 and 84.42 kDa using SDS polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). …”

Mechanisms and Implementation of Thermo-Optical Annealing in Silica Fiber Sensors for Radiation-Induced Attenuation Mitigation by Legoupil, Aurelien Y. M.

“…We design a white light absorption spectroscopy setup with in-situ irradiation and optical annealing, working at liquid nitrogen temperature and different post-irradiation warm-up rates. For the pure silica core and F-doped cladding fibers studied, the RIA spectrum obtained is decomposed into known radiation-induced defect absorption bands, highlighting the key role of self-trapped holes in RIA at telecommunication wavelengths. …”
