This paper provides a brief summary of the history, development and variety of applications
of electron microscopy techniques to analyze coals, organic-rich shales, and carbonaceous …

Organic matter in carbonaceous chondrites is distributed in fine-grained matrix. To
understand pre-and postaccretion history of organic matter and its association with …

Catalytic pyrolysis of biomass is one of the potential routes to convert lignocellulose material
to high-value bio-fuels. In this paper, we explored the use of Zn-rich scrap tyre char, a low …

Minerals preserve records of the physical, chemical, and biological histories of their origins
and subsequent alteration, and thus provide a vivid narrative of the evolution of Earth and …

In order to investigate the influence of Cl−/SO42− molar ratios and hydrolysis temperature
on the hydrolysis process and TiO2 pigment, H2TiO3 was prepared with a low concentration …

The possible presence of graphene in the interstellar medium (ISM) is examined by
comparing the interstellar extinction curve with the ultraviolet absorption of graphene …

Another protocol to make sulfur embedded ultrathin sections was developed for STXM–
XANES, AFM–IR and TEM analyses of organic materials in small extraterrestrial samples …

This special issue is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Ernst K. Zinner (Fig. 1). Dr. Zinner (1937-
2015) was a pioneer in the use of Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) in geo-and …

The aim of this thesis is to comprehensively analyse presolar silicon carbide (SiC) grains
from several primitive meteorites in order to investigate their complicated history. During …

The application of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive x-ray
