	abstract = {A cubic MCM-48 mesoporous material was employed as a support to encapsulate earth abundant NixOy species (NiO and Ni2O3).  The cubic MCM-48 mesoporous support provides an excellent platform to not only effectively disperse NiO and/or Ni2O3 species but also to limit their particle sizes.  The presence of Ni2O3 species at an optimal amt. seems to enhance the photocatalytic activity of Ni-MCM-48 materials in comparison to a Ni-MCM-48 mesoporous material having only NiO dispersed in it.  In addn., the presence of bulk NiO species also seems to be detrimental to the generation of solar hydrogen.  The apparent quantum yield (AQY) of the most active material, Ni-MCM-48-2.5\% was estd. to be 5.35\%.  This was over 250 times higher than a bulk, NiO (AQY = 0.02\%) under identical exptl. conditions.  This study indicates that MCM-48 can be used as an effective support to disperse NixOy species.

	abstract = {BACKGROUND:  On 20 March 2010, the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull erupted for the first time in 190 years.  Despite many epidemiological reports showing effects of volcanic ash on the respiratory system, there are limited data evaluating cellular mechanisms involved in the response to ash.  Epidemiological studies have observed an increase in respiratory infections in subjects and populations exposed to volcanic eruptions.  METHODS:  We physicochemically characterized volcanic ash, finding various sizes of particles, as well as the presence of several transition metals, including iron.  We examined the effect of Eyjafjallajokull ash on primary rat alveolar epithelial cells and human airway epithelial cells (20-100 μg/cm(2)), primary rat and human alveolar macrophages (5-20 μg/cm(2)), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1) growth (3 μg/104 bacteria).  RESULTS:  Volcanic ash had minimal effect on alveolar and airway epithelial cell integrity.  In alveolar macrophages, volcanic ash disrupted pathogen-killing and inflammatory responses.  In in vitro bacterial growth models, volcanic ash increased bacterial replication and decreased bacterial killing by antimicrobial peptides.  CONCLUSIONS:  These results provide potential biological plausibility for epidemiological data that show an association between air pollution exposure and the development of respiratory infections.  These data suggest that volcanic ash exposure, while not seriously compromising lung cell function, may be able to impair innate immunity responses in exposed individuals.[on SciFinder (R)]},

	abstract = {Metal oxide-based minerals naturally contain transition metal impurities isomorphically substituted into the structure that can alter the structural and electronic properties as well as the reactivity of these metal oxides.  Natural α-Al2O3 (corundum) can contain up to 9.17\% (wt./wt.) Fe2O3 and 1.81\% (wt./wt.) of Cr2O3.  Here the authors report on changes in the structural and electronic properties of undoped and doped α-Al2O3 (0001) surfaces using periodic d. functional theory (DFT) methods with spin unrestricted B3LYP functional and a local at. basis set.  Both structural and electronic properties are altered upon doping.  Implications for doping effects on photochem. processes are discussed.  As metal oxides are major components of the environment, including atm. mineral aerosol, DFT was also used to study the effect of transition metal impurities on gas/surface interactions of a model acidic atm. gas mol., CO.  The theor. results indicated that the presence of Fe3+ and Cr3+ impurities substituted on the outer layer of natural corundum surfaces reduces the propensity toward CO adsorption relative to the undoped surface.  However, CO-surface interactions resemble that of bulk α-Al2O3 when the impurity is substituted below the 1st surface layer.  The presence and location of the mineral dopant significantly altered the structural and electronic properties and gas/surface interactions studied here. [on SciFinder(R)]},

The resultant materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption studies, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).  The photocatalytic performances of these materials were evaluated by calcg. the amt. of hydrogen evolved from the decompn. of water under solar simulated irradn. conditions.  An improvement was achieved from no H2 evolution at all with the bare TiO2, to an evolution of 0.21 mL g-1 h-1 from a composite material modified with an optimum carbon loading of 3.62\%.  These results suggested that the interaction of carbon with predominantly rutile form of TiO2 can promote shallow trapping of photogenerated electrons in the oxygen vacancies.  This phenomenon consequently enhances the photocatalytic activity by minimizing charge carrier recombination, a characteristic demonstrated by fluorescence quenching of the TiO2 emission.
