Facile C-O bond scission in alcohols on Zn surfaces

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the interaction of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol with polycrystalline and (0001) surfaces of zinc. Photoelectron spectroscopy and vibrational energy loss spectroscopy were utilized to carry out the analysis. Results indicated that the alcohols supported proof for the condensed species along with the chemisorbed species at 80 K. Findings also showed the preadsorbed oxygen stabilized the methoxy species and prevented C-O bond scission.

Two-dimensional Au and Au-Cu alloy nanocrystals with orientation in (111) plane embedded in glassy silica films

Article Abstract:

Triangular Au and disk-shaped Au-Cu alloy nanocrystals are prepared in thin SiO2 film matrixes, by sol-gel spin-coating followed by annealing at 800 degree C in 10%H2-90%Ar. The transmission electron microscope images bring out evidence of the shapes of the embedded nanocrystals.
