Small metallic clusters -mediated gas phase catalysis studies give lights to understand simple and complex catalytic processes, and help in the discovery and explanation of non-traditional “molecular-scale” catalytic ...

Silica aerogel microparticles were prepared by supercritical drying and used as support for hydrogen-storing ammonia borane (AB). The formation of aerogel microparticles was done using two different processes: batch ...

Hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) is a very convenient source of H 2 , but this reaction needs catalytic activation to become practical under ambient conditions. Here this reaction is catalyzed by bimetallic late ...

© 2018 Elsevier B.V.The adsorption of ammonia–borane (AB) over the (001) surface of TiC and ZrC, has been studied systematically by means of periodic-boundary density functional calculations using slab models. We present ...

For this special edition of PCCP dealing with prediction of new molecules using quantum mechanical methods, we propose a structure for (H 3N-BH 3) 4, the isolated ammonia borane tetramer in gas phase, for which there are ...

Non-noble metal nanoparticles are notoriously difficult to prepare and stabilize with appropriate dispersion, which in turn severely limits their catalytic functions. Here, using zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) as ...
