Combustion is a reactive oxidation process that releases energy bound in chemical
compounds used as fuels─ energy that is needed for power generation, transportation …

The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

Clean combustion, ie, the reduction of NOx and soot emissions, and carbon neutrality,
achieved in part by biofuel synthesis, are major milestones in the transition to a sustainable …

Nanobowls represent vital molecular building blocks of end-capped nanotubes and
fullerenes detected in combustion systems and in deep space such as toward the planetary …

Context. Vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photons are important drivers of chemical processes in
space. Thus, it is important to accurately characterize and constrain photorates in different …

The molecular structures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from different sources
(coal-derived asphaltenes (CA), petroleum-derived asphaltenes (PA) and soot (S)), that …

We report here the experimental investigation of lightly sooting methane premixed flames
with and without hydrogen. Two different approaches were considered to introduce …

Molecular beam experiments together with electronic structure calculations provide the first
evidence of a complex network of elementary gas-phase reactions culminating in the bottom …

We present a new photoelectron photoion coincidence (PEPICO) spectrometer that
combines high mass resolution of cations with independently adjustable velocity map …
