Water molecules adsorb on the surface of PuO₂ in molecular, dissociated, or mixed states, and intermolecular hydrogen bonds play an important role in surface behavior.

Silicone polyurethanes have gained widespread application in the biomedical field due to their excellent biocompatibility.

In this study, we explord the catalytic activity of MoCoFephosphide nanosheets as highly active and stable catalysts for OER. Electrochemical analysis exhibits a low overpotential of 250 mV in (1 M KOH), achieving a current density of 10 mA cm⁻² with a low Tafel slope of 43.38 mV dec⁻².

The surface reaction and subsurface oxygen transfer jointly affect the process of hydrogen reduction of copper oxide.

The syntheses of poly(diallylammonium chloride) (3) and its copolymers (8a–c) containing hydrophilic/hydrophobic pendants and their role in mitigating mild steel corrosion in aggressive 20% HCOOH is not frequently discussed in the literature.

Efficient elimination of Lead (Pb(II)) from aqueous solutions has become a crucial area of focus in the wastewater treatment industry.

Different forms of a chiral organic insulator, (R)-α-phenylethylammonium-oxalate (RAPEAO), was prepared: single crystal, powder and spin-coated layers on silicon substrate surfaces modified by plasma treatment or a polymer layer.

A model, so called quasi-static growth model, based on the sequential addition of (sub-)monolayers in the stable surface directions has been proposed. Thus, a sequence of different Wulff shapes results in the growth process with a certain barrier.

Polymeric biomaterials are a widely used class of materials due to their versatile properties.

Flower-like Mg(OH)₂ was fabricated without using structure-directing molecules, achieving remarkable efficiency in adsorbing Pb(II) ions from water. Acid dissolution-electrolysis enables the recycling of adsorbed Pb(II) to obtain metallic lead.
