Water structure near electrode interfaces may play an important role in controlling CO2 electroreduction. Using plasmon-enhanced vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy, we demonstrate the emergence of an interfacial water subpopulation with large electric fields along their OH bonds, when Na2CO3 ions are present near the electrode under ...

Supersaturation as a formulation principle relates to the aqueous solubility of poorly soluble drugs in solution . However, supersaturation state of drugs tends to crystallize because of its thermodynamic instability thereby compromising the solubility and biopharmaceutical performance of drugs. The present study aims to investigate the supersatura...

BackgroundMucus and mucus glands are important features of the amphibian cutis. In tree frogs, the mucus glands and their secretions are crucial components of the adhesive digital pads of these animals. Despite a variety of hypothesised functions of these components in tree frog attachment, the functional morphology of the digital mucus glands and ...

This work describes an electrochemical study of 4-nitrobenzene diazonium (4-NBD) reduction onto glassy carbon (GC) electrode coupled to in situ sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. After 4-NBD grafting at 0.3 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) onto GC, SFG allowed a clear signal assigned to the symmetrical vibration mode of the nitro (...

Ethanol represents a promising energy source for powering fuel cells. The development of direct ethanol fuel cells is however challenged by both the sluggish kinetics of the ethanol oxidation reaction and the poor selectivity toward complete oxidation. In this work, we combine spectroelectrochemical studies of extended surfaces using sum frequency ...

Cellulose
In nature, algae produce cellulose I where all glucan chains are aligned parallel. However, the presence of cellulose II with anti-parallel glucan chains has been reported for certain Derbesia (Chlorophyceae algae) cell walls; if this is true, it would mean a new biological process for synthesizing cellulose that has not yet been recognized. To ans...

Delignification, a common practice in the pulping industry, has been proposed and explored as a means to selectively remove lignin from lignocellulosic biomass and, thus, increase enzyme accessibility for cellulose hydrolysis. However, without knowing structural changes of cellulose in biomass, it is difficult to fully understand the effects of the...
