Aluminum and aluminum alloys as sources of hydrogen for fuel cell applications

“…There are different mature methods for hydrogen production [3]. These methods are basically based in fossil fuels, including more than 90% of the industrial hydrogen production [4]. Fifty-five to 60% of the hydrogen being produced in the world today is made by steam reforming of natural gas.…”

Role of entropy in the stability of cobalt titanates

“…Cobalt titanate Co 2 TiO 4 finds application as a pigment [1] and CoTiO 3 as a gas sensor for ethanol [2] and high-k ultra-thin gate dielectric for MOSFET and DRAM applications [3]. It has smaller equivalent oxide thickness than the conventional SiO 2 gate oxide and minimal reaction with Si substrate.…”

Redox-promoted associative assembly of metal–organic materials

“…However, conditions used to oxidize bulk metals to their more common binary salts normally require high temperatures and corrosive oxidants ( e.g. Cl 2 , HCl, HNO 3 ) 28,29 that are incompatible with the mild conditions preferred for the synthesis of metal–organic materials.…”
