Soil organic matter (SOM) in organic surface layers of forest soils (forest floors; FF) is susceptible to P losses and conversion of soil carbon into atmospheric CO2 by global... -
In situ nanotomography of damage nucleation in recycled Al-alloys under plane...
The proposal aims at understanding and quantifying the damage nucleation mechanisms operating in recycled aluminium alloys when loaded under plane strain tension. In comparison... -
Cu stability under different diffusion conditions in SAPO-34
Isomorphous incorporation of Cu(II) into a SAPO-34 framework allows for isolated active sites, which are active towards a range of catalytic reactions (such as deNOx and... -
Sharks' answer to bone: how calcified cartilage evolved and its relation to f...
Sharks and their relatives (chondrichthyans) have a unique skeleton made entirely of cartilage, unlike other jawed vertebrates. Tessellated calcified cartilage (TCC) provides... -
Evolution of Ni and Co during the direct regeneration of spent ternary cathodes
In light of environmental protection and resource reutilization, efficiently recycling lithium-ion batteries has become a key issue. In the spent ternary cathode (SNCM523), the... -
Operando Identification of the Role of Crystal Phase in Triggering Bulk Latti...
The high overpotential of the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) in water splitting hampers hydrogen production efficiency. While most OER catalysts follow the sluggish Adsorbate... -
