It's a knockout! When the surface of gold electrodes is treated with hydroxyl radicals, the electron‐transfer rates ks of electrochemical reactions involving radical intermediates are drastically reduced (see picture). This observation can be explained by the selective knockout of gold active sites associated with partially filled d orbitals.
Seeing the woods for the trees: The global CO2 problem can only be solved by the introduction of a permanent carbon sink based on using natural photosynthesis. In the “wood growth and burial process”, humans produce biomass, especially wood, for it to be later removed from the global carbon cycle by burial under anaerobic conditions (e.g. on the bottom of emptied open pits). Moreover, the buried wood is a deposited good and potentially available for future use.
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.
