The ability of a surface to interact with oxygen (oxophilicity) plays a very important role in several catalytic, electroanalytic and electrocatalytic reactions. To date, however, the role of the oxophilicity in the ...

Ethanol oxidation at moderate temperature and atmospheric pressure is carried out in a trickle-bed reactor using a hydrophobic catalyst and pure oxygen as the oxidizing agent. The influence of diluting the hydrophobic ...

The influence of acute ethanol administration on the oxidative stress status of rat brain and liver was assessed by in situ spontaneous organ chemiluminescence (CL). Brain and liver CL was significantly increased after ...

The effect of a chronic ethanol consumption by forcing rats to drink a 20% v/v ethanol solution as sole drinking fluid, for 3 months, was evaluated on: liver and brain mitochondrial function, the capacity of isolated ...

The effects of interactions of Pt nanoparticles with hybrid supports on reactivity towards ethanol oxidation in alkaline solution are investigated. Studies involve catalysts with identical Pt nanoparticles on six hybrid ...

This paper presents preliminary results on the design, construction and evaluation of a passive mini direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC), capillary fed with 2 mol l-1 aqueous ethanol, at a rate of 2.03 μL min-1, and air ...

Stress and ethanol are important cardiovascular risk factors. Their vascular and blood pressure (BP) effects were evaluated alone and in combination. Adult male Wistar rats (8-10 per group) were separated into control, ...

We investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) in ethanol-induced relaxation. Vascular reactivity experiments showed that ethanol (0.03-200 mmol/L) induced relaxation in endothelium-intact ...

This paper presents a study on the ethanol oxidation reaction using SnO(2)@Pt/C core-shell structures as electrocatalysts. All the materials used, including Pt/C and PtSn/C E-tek, were 20% (w/w) metal on carbon. The formation ...
