We report on the achievement of wafer-level photocatalytic overall water splitting on GaN nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy with the incorporation of Rh/Cr(2)O(3) core-shell nanostructures acting as cocatalysts, through which H(2) evolution is promoted by the noble metal core

The effects of electronic polarization on the adsorption of water in the MIL-53(Cr) metal-organic framework are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. For this purpose a fully polarizable force field for MIL-53(Cr) was developed which is compatible with the ab initio-based

We investigate the single-cell reduction of toxic Cr(VI) by the dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1), an important bioremediation process, using Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Our experiments indicate that the

In this study, 64% of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) reduction from the initial concentration (10(-4) M) is reported under visible light using the (CuAlO(2)/CdS) hetero-system. In this new hetero-system, low doped CuAlO(2) delafossite, synthesized by sol-gel works as an electrons reservoir

Lung exposure to metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) comprising soluble metal haptens may produce T-helper cell type 1 (Th1)- and Th17-associated delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). In order to study this, haptenic metal oxide NPs (NiO, Co(3)O(4)
