Nanotella: 8 nm Au Ag nano alloys for CO oxidation
http://www.nanotella.com/2009/02/8-nm-au-ag-nano-alloys-for-co-oxidation.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. 8 nm Au Ag nano alloys for CO oxidation. Dr Sun did it again. There wasn't an easy way to make gold and silver nano scale alloys (especially at the sizes of 8-9 nm) until Dr. Shouheng Sun and Dr. Chao Wang's work appeared in chemistry of materials just yesterday. The method shines with its simplicty: one pot, mix silver nitrate (AgNO3) with oleylamine, heat it to 100 oC, inject HAuCl4, heat more at 120 oC for 30 more minutes. How simpler can it get? Cafer T. Yavuz. Ive come ...

Nanotella: Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008 might go to Zhong L Wang, George Whitesides, Akihisa Inoue, Galen Stucky or Louis Brus
http://www.nanotella.com/2008/07/nobel-prize-in-chemistry-2008-might-go.html
Monday, July 21, 2008. Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008 might go to Zhong L Wang, George Whitesides, Akihisa Inoue, Galen Stucky or Louis Brus. We all know that Nobel Prize follows a pattern. It is rare that a subdivision gets the price in consecutive years (except for Biochemistry since biochemists in the selection committee. Are -evidently- louder than the others). For example, chemistry nobel prize was given to Organic chemistry in 2005. Then Biochemistry in 2006. And Physical chemistry in 2007. Also hap...

Nanotella: Photo reduction of Graphene Oxide with nano-TiO2
http://www.nanotella.com/2008/07/graphene-oxide-photo-reduction-with.html
Monday, July 7, 2008. Photo reduction of Graphene Oxide with nano-TiO2. In the articles ASAP of ACS Nano, Williams et al. From Prashant V. Kamat. Group - he is also the senior editor of Journal of Physical Chemistry) describes a neat way of reducing the o.6 nm thick graphene oxide with photo activated nano TiO2 (2-7 nm). Graphene is becoming very attractive to many and surely this is another example of that. In the picture, GO means graphene oxide and GR means graphene. Cafer T. Yavuz. Gold nanowire rush...

Nanotella: Decision sent to author
http://www.nanotella.com/2007/08/decision-sent-to-author.html
Thursday, August 16, 2007. Decision sent to author. The moment I saw "Decision sent to author" phrase occupying the status line of Manuscript Tracking System. Yesterday, I knew there was something wrong. Nothing else was said, decision was actually sent to the corresponding author. This meant that Dr. Vicki L. Colvin. My advisor, got the email. She was out of town and away from her email, and so I was from the decision. Then I typed the exact words into Google. And Dr. Nuh Gedik. It is not the end of it,...

Nanotella: DOE H2 storage target for 2015 is broken!
http://www.nanotella.com/2012/08/doe-h2-storage-target-for-2015-is-broken.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. DOE H2 storage target for 2015 is broken! In an excellent theoretical study, Bill Goddard. And his team ( Mendoza-Cortes et al. At Caltech showed that a PdCl. Decorated COF-301 surpasses DOE target of 40 g/L hydrogen storage with a capacity of 60 g/L. And the isotherm reaches DOE target even below 10 bar pressure and all is at 298 K. This is very exciting!

Sunday, September 23, 2012. 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry - it's hopefully the year for metalloproteins. It's that time of the year again. Who will get the highest honor of the scientific research? Already has some math going for the predictions. His most bet is for "Nuclear Hormone Signaling, by Chambon/Evans/Jensen". Thompson reuters. Says Louis Brus for QDots work based on citation counts. As I posted several years ago. I think two things matter in nobel prize selection: the holy cycle. Subscribe to: ...

Nanotella: Proton conductive copper oxalate xerogels
http://www.nanotella.com/2013/06/proton-conductive-copper-oxalate.html
Thursday, June 13, 2013. Proton conductive copper oxalate xerogels. From Rahul Banerjee group. At Indian National Chemical Laboratory) reported a rapid way of making copper xerogels (with a max surface area of 67 m2/g) starting from oxalic acid and copper perchlorate. I always taught oxalic acid would make good MOFs. Hence my interest in this work) but I guess xerogels. Would be the best you can get. I'm sure the authors tried to get ordered structures first. Great work, nonetheless. Cafer T. Yavuz.
