Molecular oxygen, O2, has long provided a cornerstone for studies in chemistry, physics,
and biology. Although the triplet ground state, O2 (X3Σg–), has garnered much attention, the …

The existence of the exclusion zone (EZ), a layer of water in which plastic microspheres are
repelled from hydrophilic surfaces, has now been independently demonstrated by several …

Understanding the mechanistic details of the superoxide induced solvent degradation, is
important in the development of stable electrolytes for lithium–oxygen (Li O2) batteries …

The non‐aqueous Li–air (O2) battery has attracted intensive interest because it can
potentially store far more energy than today′ s batteries. Presently Li–O2 batteries suffer …

Transforming methane (CH 4) into value-added products is always a long-term ambition.
Currently, photocatalysis stands in the forefront as a green route for methane conversion at …

The reductive conversion of CO 2 into industrial products (eg, oxalic acid, formic acid,
methanol) can occur via aqueous CO 2− as a transient intermediate. While the formation …

The high radiation field associated with spent nuclear fuel (UIVO2) pellets produces an array
of reactive radical species that impact the corrosion and formation of secondary alteration …

Compared with many chemotherapy and radiotherapy modalities, selective killing of cancer
cells is a pivotal feature of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP). Understanding its underlying …

A single radiation-induced superoxide ion O 2-has been observed for the first time in metal
oxides. This structural defect has been revealed in fast-neutron-irradiated (6.9× 1018 n/cm2) …

A key uncertainty in the heterogeneous oxidation of carboxylic acids by hydroxyl radicals
(OH) in aqueous-phase aerosol is how the free-radical reaction pathways might be altered …
