In recent times, as regulations and legislations for exhaust treatment have become more stringent, a major concern in the arena of environmental catalysis is to find new efficient and economical exhaust treatment catalysts. ...

Diffusion in bulk has been well studied and our understanding may be said to be adequate if not complete. Similarly, surface diffusion has been investigated by a number of workers and a fair understanding of it has emerged. ...

Diffusion is a fundamental process which occurs in a wide variety of phases. It plays an important role in chemistry, physics, biology, materials science etc. In recent times, diffusion in confined systems has been widely ...

Oxides of ABO3 composition (A = alkali, alkaline earth or rare earth metal in general, B = transition metal) constitute a large family of metal oxides of current interest to solid state and materials chemistry. Among the ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radical anion (O2•¯), hydroxylradical (OH•), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) that are produced during the metabolism of oxygen under oxidative stress in ...

Several organic transformations are mediated by group(IV) metal alkoxides. The reactivity is based on the basic nature of alkoxide group, Lewis acidic nature of the group(IV) metals, insertion of unsaturated molecules into ...

Room temperature molten liquids are proposed to be good alternates for volatile and harmful organic compounds. They are useful in varied areas of applications ranging from synthesis, catalysis to energy storage molten ...

Benzophenone (BP) and substituted BPs constitute a major class of aromatic ketones and are of potential interest in various areas of excited state solution phase photochemistry and photobiology. High triplet state energy, ...

Electrical double-layer formed at the interface between an electrode and an electrolyte has been a topic of innumerable studies. The electrical interface plays a crucial role in kinetics, mechanisms and applications in ...

The thesis attempts to ask a few questions related to heme electrochemistry and provide possible answers to these in terms of experimental results obtained and reported in the current literature. It is expected that the ...
