Privileged zeolitic sites for humid CO 2 adsorption: K + in double eight-membered rings
A proficient site for humid CO 2 adsorption in zeolites: K + -D8R structures can selectively adsorb CO 2 over H 2 O.
Semi-adsorption-controlled growth window for half-Heusler FeVSb epitaxial films
The electronic, magnetic, thermoelectric, and topological properties of Heusler compounds (composition XYZ or X 2 YZ) are highly sensitive to stoichiometry and defects. Here we establish the existence and experimentally map the bounds of a semi-adsorption-controlled growth window for semiconducting half-Heusler FeVSb films, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We show that due to the high volatility of Sb, the Sb stoichiometry is self-limiting for a finite range of growth temperatures and Sb fluxes, similar to the growth of III-V semiconductors such as GaSb and GaAs. Films grown within this window are nearly structurally indistinguishable by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Here, the highest electron mobility and lowest background carrier density are obtained towards the Sb-rich bound of the window, suggesting that Sb vacancies may be a common defect. Similar semi-adsorption-controlled bounds are expected for other ternary intermetallics that contain a volatile species Z = {Sb, As, Bi}, e.g., CoTiSb, LuPtSb, GdPtBi, and NiMnSb. However, outstanding challenges remain in controlling the remaining Fe/V (X/Y) transition metal stoichiometry.
Adsorption and excess fission Xe - Adsorption of Xe on vacuum crushed minerals
It is hypothesized that adsorption is not likely to provide a sufficiently precise mechanism for the concentration of excess fission Xe in the entire lunar regolith, in view of laboratory analogs of the lunar soil and calculations of the residence times of noble gases in the present day regolith. Lunar cold trap and episodic degassing models are difficult to reconcile, however, with the generality of excess fission Xe in all gas-rich highland breccias. It is concluded that the high Xe concentration in such highland breccias is not the result of Xe adsorption prior to the trapping of this component.
Acetic Acid Adsorption and Reactions on Ni(110)
Acetic acid adsorption and reactions at multiple surface coverage values on Ni(110) were studied with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) at 90–500 K. The experimental measurements were interpreted with density functional theory (DFT) calculations that provided information on adsorbate geometries, energies, and vibrational modes. Below the monolayer saturation coverage of 0.36 ML at 90 K, acetic acid adsorbs mostly molecularly. Above this coverage, a physisorbed layer is formed with dimers and catemers, without detectable monomers. Dimers and catemers desorb as molecular acetic acid at 157 and 172 K, respectively. Between 90 and 200 K, the O–H bond in acetic acid breaks to form bridge-bonded bidentate acetate that becomes the dominant surface species. Desorption-limited hydrogen evolution is observed at 265 K. However, even after the acetate formation, acetic acid desorbs molecularly at 200–300 K due to recombination. Minor surface species observed at 200 K, acetyls or acetates with a carbonyl group, decompose below 350 K and generate adsorbed carbon monoxide. At 350 K, the surface likely undergoes restructuring, the extent of which increases with acetic acid coverage. The initial dominant bridge-bonded bidentate acetate species formed below 200 K remain on the surface, but they now mostly adsorb on the restructured sites. Here, the acetates and all other remaining hydrocarbon species decompose simultaneously at 425 K in a narrow temperature range with concurrent evolution of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Above 425 K, only carbon remains on the surface.

Selective adsorption removal of carbonyl molecular foulants from real fast pyrolysis bio-oils
A novel sorbent-based separation process has been developed to selectively remove target molecules from the real fast pyrolysis (FP) pine bio-oils. Specifically, zeolitic molecular sieves and functionalized polymeric resins were found to effectively reduce carbonyl content and carboxylic acid number of a real pine fast pyrolysis bio-oils, therefore enhance bio-oil stability and preserve down-stream catalyst. Our results provide the first-time evidence on the potential effectiveness of sorption technology strategy for dealing with real FP bio-oils, reducing the carbonyl-rich FP oils from 7.5 mmolg-1 down to 4 mmolg-1 at 40 ?, which has potential to enable bio-oil stabilization and enhance operation stability for down-stream upgrading/hydrotreating processes.

Template-Assisted, Seed-Mediated Synthesis of Hierarchically Mesoporous Core–Shell UiO-66: Enhancing Adsorption Capacity and Catalytic Activity through Iterative Growth
A hierarchically mesoporous (HM) UiO-66-F 4 shell with ~8 nm mesopores can be iteratively grown on top of UiO-66 nanoparticle (NP) seeds over several cycles templated by Pluronic F-127 micelles. Presumably, the Pluronic micelles that were formed in water can surround UiO-66 NPs to facilitate the overgrowth of an HM-UiO-66-F 4 shell in the presence of Zr IV precursors and BDC-F 4 linkers. The UiO-66 NP seeds play an important role in directing the continuous growth of the HM-UiO-66-F 4 shell, as only a nonporous phase was obtained in their absence. Furthermore, this template-assisted, seed-mediated method can be extended to produce other UiO-66-X (X = (OH) 2 , (COOH) 2 , etc.) shells, demonstrating its generality for the UiO-66 family of metal–organic frameworks. Notably, the incorporation of mesopores into the thrice-overgrown UiO-66@HM|3rd-UiO-66-F 4 materials leads to impressive enhancements in the per-mass uptake capacity of Direct Blue 86, a large anionic dye: 320% better than the parent UiO-66 seeds and 150% better than that for a [UiO-66 + UiO-66-F 4 ] physical mixture at the same mass proportion. Similar enhancements were also observed in the catalyzed oxidation of thioanisole.
