	abstract = {Graphene oxide (GO) has been recognized as an important intermediate compd. for a potential low-cost large-scale graphene-like film fabrication.  In this work, graphene oxide multilayer films deposited on glass substrate were reduced using different thermal redn. methods, including low-temp. annealing, flame-induced and laser redn., and the corresponding surface morphol. and structural properties were investigated.  These graphene oxide thermal redn. methods strongly affected surface morphol. and differently facilitated structural and chem. transformations of graphene oxide.  As evidenced by Raman measurements, thermal annealing and laser redn. of graphene oxide produced more ordered graphene-like structure multilayer films.  However, surface morphol. differences were obsd. and attributed to the different de-oxidn. mechanisms of GO.  This Letter provides an important systematic comparison between the GO redn. methods and thermally-driven structural changes they provide to the reduced GO multilayer films obtained.

	abstract = {Mixed metal sulfides contg. combinations of W, Fe, Mo, Ni, and Ru were synthesized and screened for activity and stability for the H evolution reaction (HER) in aq. HBr.  Co- and Ni-substituted RuS2 were identified as potentially active HER electrocatalysts by high-throughput screening (HTS), and the specific compns. Co0.4Ru0.6S2 and Ni0.6Ru0.4S2 were identified by optimization.  H evolution activity of Co0.4Ru0.6S2 in HBr is greater than RuS2 or CoS2 and comparable to Pt and com. RhxSy.  Structural and morphol. characterizations of the Co-substituted RuS2 suggest that the nanoparticulate solids are a homogeneous solid soln. with a pyrite crystal structure.  No phase sepn. is detected for Co substitutions <30\% by x-ray diffraction.  In 0.5 M HBr electrolyte, the Co-Ru electrode material synthesized with 30\% Co rapidly lost \~{}34\% of the initial loading of Co; thereafter, it was obsd. to exhibit stable activity for HER with no further loss of Co.  D. functional theory calcns. indicate that the S22- sites are the most important for HER and the presence of Co influences the S22- sites such that the H binding energy at sufficiently high H coverage is decreased compared to Ru sulfide.  Although showing high HER activity in a flow cell, the reverse reaction of H oxidn. is slow on the RuS2 catalysts tested when compared to Pt and Rh sulfide, leaving Rh sulfide as the only suitable tested material for a regenerative HBr cell due its stability compared to Pt.

	abstract = {Chromium thin films were prepd. on glass substrate via a two-step thermal deposition and their structural, chem. and tribol. properties were detd.  The x-ray diffraction pattern of the two-step thermally deposited chromium film showed the presence of well-defined body-centered cubic Cr metal structure with a prominent (1 1 0) plane.  XPS depth profile showed a presence of \~{}2\% of oxygen in the film within the first five etching cycles showing oxygen incorporation.  Dry sliding wear expts. at temps. ranging from 20 to 200{\textdegree} were conducted.  The thin films were worn with either 100Cr6 or 440C bearing balls using a ball-on-disk sliding configuration at a contact load of 1 N.  Friction coeff. and coating wear rates were measured and wear tracks were analyzed using optical microscopy, SEM and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.  Thin films exhibited low wear rates at room temp. and an unexpected wear behavior at the elevated temps.  Only the first half of the metallic chromium film was worn out after \~{}18 m of dry sliding at room temp., whereas increase in temp. resulted in a decrease in wear resistance of the film.

The hydrogel is thixotropic and is composed of nanoscale metal-org. particles (NMOPs), a high surface area of which likely accounts for the gelation of the polar aq. medium.  A shear stress profile of the thixotropic hydrogel gave a yield value of 8.33 Pa.  A novel combination of at. force microscopy (AFM) and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) is used to assess the densities of individual NMOPs.  A d. of 1.37 g/cm3 was detd.

	abstract = {Alk. earth-based oxides are important materials for CO2 storage.  A template-free method to synthesize meso-porous MgO by thermal decompn. of anhyd. magnesium acetate is presented.  Characterization of cryst. phase, particle and pore sizes, and surface area for mesoporous MgO was done using a variety of techniques: SEM, high resoln. transmission electron microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption anal.  Results showed meso-porous MgO synthesized from anhyd. magnesium acetate had a high surface area (120-136 m2/g) and a narrow pore size distribution (3-4 nm).  The pore was comprised of small, primary MgO nano-particle aggregates with inter-particle connections.  In-situ transmission Fourier transform IR spectroscopy assessed CO2 adsorption by meso-porous MgO.  This spectroscopic assessment showed meso-porous MgO exhibited enhanced CO2 adsorption capacity vs. com. available MgO nano-particles.  This difference was mainly attributed to increased surface area.  Differences in surface carbonate/bicarbonate speciation, obsd. between meso-porous and com. MgO, were related to structural differences of the smaller nano-particles. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {A method to monitor thin film deposition on insulating and semiconductive substrates based on the surface cond. measurements is proposed.  This method differs from previous thin film cond. measurement methods by the absence of an external power source.  Instead, it employs natural charges carried by ions and electrons that are present in a vapor that is deposited.  The ability to monitor thin film cond., starting with early nucleation stages up to the formation of the integrally conductive film is shown by a comparison of in-situ recorded voltage changes and ex-situ by XPS and at. force microscopy anal. of the stepwise covered samples.  Repeatability of the exptl. data was within a {\textpm} 25\% interval at the exptl. parameter region where an integrally conductive film starts to form. [on SciFinder(R)]},
