Metal oxides act as bases. Bases are substances which can neutralise acids. When a base reacts with an acid it produces a salt and water. A series of scientific diagrams can be drawn to illustrate ...

A research team has developed a new method to accelerate the discovery of affordable, stable materials that support clean ...

Diagram showing the functionalization of a metal oxide nanoparticle with various organic molecules, including trimethoxysilane, amine, phosphonic acid, carboxylic acid, dopamine, and cysteine. This ...

Transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx), a real material despite ... Instead of immersing entire sheets of metal into acidic solutions, the researchers applied microdroplets of acidic solution onto ...

"Traditionally, people think that the metal oxide would be brittle" and subject to cracking, Yang says, explaining that no one had demonstrated otherwise because it is so difficult to observe the ...

Benzenesulfonic acid is used to produce phenol by fusing it with sodium hydroxide or hydrolyzing one of its salts, usually sodium. Other uses include surfactants made with its metal or amine salts and ...

Researchers have now developed and characterized nitric oxide (NO)-storing MOFs embedded in a thin film with novel antibacterial potential. Because metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) -- highly porous ...

Researchers find a solid protective coating material that can flow like a liquid to repair any cracks that develop. Researchers have found that a solid oxide protective coating for metals can ...
