A review of the considerable, but often contradictory, literature examining the specific
surface reactions associated with copper adsorption onto the common metal sulfide …

The chemistry of the activation of sulphide minerals by Cull) and other cations is reviewed,
with special emphasis on work published in the past two decades. An attempt is made to …

Chemical state X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of first row transition metals and
their oxides and hydroxides is challenging due to the complexity of the 2p spectra resulting …

As emerging eco‐friendly alternatives to traditional Cd/Pb‐based quantum dots (QDs),
InP/ZnSe (S) core/shell QDs have demonstrated huge potential in light‐emitting …

Ammonia (NH 3) volatilisation is one of the most important causes of nitrogen (N) loss in soil-
plant systems worldwide. Carbon-based amendments such as biochar have been shown to …

Two commercial carbons, coconut shell-and wood-based were chosen to evaluate the
mechanisms of carbamazepine (CBZ) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) adsorption from a low …

Mercury contamination has attracted global attentions in the past decades, which posed
great threats to the whole ecosystem and human health because of its cumulative …

The production of hydrogen and the utilization of biomass for sustainable concepts of energy
conversion and storage require gas sensors that discriminate between hydrogen (H2) and …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with ratiometric sensing properties are desirable for
many applications due to their intrinsic self-calibration. We report the re-assessment of the …

Photodegradation of organic pollutants using metal oxides has shown extraordinary promise
owing to the catalytic efficacy, low cost, less noxiousness, and good chemical constancy. In …
