Gold is an element whose unique properties are strongly influenced by relativistic effects. A
large body of appropriate calculations now exists and its main conclusions are summarized …

In multicomponent materials, short-range order (SRO) is the development of correlated
arrangements of atoms at the nanometer scale. Its impact in compositionally complex …

Chemical short-range order (SRO) is known to alter a wide array of alloy properties. Here,
we investigate the SRO of binary and ternary alloys in the Cr–Mo–W system using density …

Gamma-valerolactone (GVL) is one of the key products of future biorefineries. We show here
for the first time the superior activity of Ni-based, Au doped catalysts in levulinic acid …

Alloys and intermetallic compounds of Au with the 3 d transition metals Fe, Co, and Ni are
nonequilibrium phases that have many useful potential applications as catalytic, magnetic …

With increasing emphasis placed on cleaner chemical synthesis, energy efficiency and
waste minimisation, the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals is undergoing a …

Given the high cost of Pt-based catalysts and the environmental issue of CrO x-based
catalysts in dehydrogenation processes, Ni-based catalysts have been extensively explored …

Solid-state dewetting in Ni/Au bi-layer films was used to fabricate Ni–Au alloy nanoparticles.
Due to the limited solubility between Au and Ni, the individual particles contain both, an Au …

In this paper, large-area magnetic–plasmonic Ni@ Au core–shell nanoparticle arrays
(NPAs) with tunable compositions were successfully fabricated by a direct laser interference …

Catalytic gas‐phase hydrodechlorination (HDC) of 2, 4‐dichlorophenol (2, 4‐DCP) has
been investigated over Ni/Al2O3 and Au/Al2O3 prepared by impregnation, and Au–Ni/Al2O3 …
