	In this work, CeO2–TiO2 composite nanorods and nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods, respectively; with them as the supports, Au/CeO2–TiO2 catalysts were prepared by the colloidal deposition method with the aim to exclude the influence of gold species on their catalytic behavior and to get deep insight into the effect of support morphology on the performance of Au/CeO2–Ti...

	Since the recognition of the multiple bond in [Re2Cl8]2- by F. A. Cotton in 1960s, the chemistry of the dimetal- or multimetal-centered compounds has drawn increasing interest due to their structural diversity, rich physical properties and potential applications in catalysis, biological mimicry, magnetic coupling, electron transfer, functional materials, etc. Using a AuI···AuI bonding interaction-directed stepw...

	Solution-processable small molecules for organic solar cells ( OSCs ) have been investigated intensively in recent years on account of their advantages of gaining large-area , flexible , lightweight devices by roll – to – roll printing techniques .A research team from National Center for Nanoscience and Technology ( NCNST ) studied the shortening alkyl Chains effects on light absorption , molecular energy level ...

	Cultivation of paddy rice for human consumption is a dominant agricultural activity throughout Asia . High levels of mercury ( Hg ) in rice grain pose a potential threat to human health .Previous studies do not afford comprehensive understanding of the speciation and localisation of Hg throughout rice grain .The research group from Institute of Geochemistry , Chinese Academy of Sciences reported speciation and loc...

	Ethoxylated sterols , an example of environmentally benign surfactants , exhibit amphiphilic behaviors due to the hydrophobic steroid nucleus and the hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chains .From FA to N-methylformamide ( NMF ) , and then N , N-dimethylformamide ( DMF ) , the replacement of hydrogen moieties with methyl group reduces the number of donating protons successively and transforms the solvent from protic ( F...
