Summary: This study investigates the temperature dependency of the capillary water absorption coefficient using statistical analysis, revealing that temperature can significantly influence the transport parameter. Experimental errors and sample inhomogeneity may mask the effect of temperature, while an increase in resistance to water absorption and a reduction in porosity can counteract the impact of temperature in cementitious systems. A previously reported model based on the Lucas-Washburn law can accurately describe the temperature dependence of the transport parameter with due calibration for a given material.

Summary: The magnetization dynamics of nanomagnets excited by stochastic magnetic fields to mimic temperature in a micromagnetic framework were studied, with a focus on the spatial extension of internal magnon modes and the temperature dependence of the modes. Fluctuations in the low frequency edge modes were observed, associated with switching between C- and S-states, creating an energy barrier, which was classified into three different regimes and calculated using the Arrhenius law.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of vacuum gas oil properties on the deactivation rate of a hydrocracking catalyst, showing that the nature and content of organic nitrogen and aromatics compounds in the feedstock play a determinant role in the deactivation rate. The experiments were carried out under high temperature and high space velocity conditions, and the results suggest a coupled role of organic nitrogen and aromatics in promoting coke deposition on the catalyst surface, leading to an increase in deactivation rate beyond the end boiling point of the feed.

Summary: The balance between metal and acid functions is crucial for the catalytic performance and activity loss of hydrocracking bifunctional catalysts. Decreasing the metal content in the catalyst leads to an increase of nitrogen compounds concentration, reducing the available acid sites and, thus, the hydrocracking activity. However, at the same time, modifying the M/A ratio in favor of the metal function results in lower coke deposition and a lower deactivation rate compared to the catalyst with higher metal content.

Summary: Hierarchical faujasite zeolites composed of nanoparticle aggregates and layer-like structures are evaluated for xylene adsorption. The results show that nanoparticle aggregate zeolites have higher adsorption capacity than conventional zeolites, while the adsorption capacity of layer-like structure zeolites is comparable. The hierarchical samples have lower paraxylene selectivities, which may be attributed to the decrease in functional window adsorptive sites caused by the increase in external surface area.

Summary: This study proposes to evaluate and validate the emerging spectroscopic space-resolved technique of atomic force microscopy coupled with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR). It is found that AFM-IR spectra of homogeneous polymers can be compared with conventional Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra obtained in transmission. However, for inorganic solids, the AFM-IR spectra are different from the global FTIR spectra, indicating that the AFM-IR technique probes a volume that is not representative of the global composition and there is surface heterogeneity.

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
