Reduction of titania (TiO 2 -P25) with hydrogen leads to the formation of oxygen vacancies and Ti 3+ ions, most likely located on the titania surface, and electrons that occupy donor sites in the bulk of titania. The number of these defects is controlled by equilibrium and is therefore quenched by the presence of water. The electrons located at the donor sites are responsible for the high conductance of hydrogen treated titania. From analysis of the activation energies for conduction it is deduced that the electrons are located at donor sites about 0.1 to 0.2 eV below the conduction band. In titania supported noble metal catalysts a similar increase of the electric conductance with increasing reduction temperature is observed. The higher density of charge carriers causes a narrowing of the space charge region at the metal support phase boundary. Thus, the charge transfer necessary to align the Fermi levels of the two phases becomes larger which most likely effects the catalytic properties of these catalysts. Either the charge transferred or the resulting high electric field working at the interface may be one additional reason for the well-known SMSI (strong-metal-support-interaction) effect.
Through the use of thin-layer chromatography (TLC), ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), mass spectrometry (MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gallic acid and eugenol were identified as the 2 major antioxidants in clove. The amounts of gallic acid and eugenol were determined to be 1.26 g and 3.03 g respectively in 100 g of clove.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
