In situ neutron diffraction measurements of the nanocrystalline deuterated oxyhydroxide TiO(OD)(2) compound were performed as a function of time and temperature under NH(3) gas flow in order to study the hydrogen-deuterium exchange mechanism. Data were collected on the instrument D20 at the ILL (France) and the analysis of the kinetics was directly based on the contrast variation of the incoherent neutron cross section of hydrogen and deuterium. The time evolution of the hydrogenated phase fraction was described using the well-known Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (KJMA) expression. The H/D exchange reaction is complete within 140 s at 20 °C and within 120 s at 40 °C. The activation energy for the H/D exchange reaction is estimated to be 37 kJ mol(-1).

Targeted charged alpha- and beta-particle therapies are currently being used in clinical radiation treatments as newly developed methods for either killing or controlling tumor cell growth. The alpha particles can be generated either through a nuclear decay reaction or in situ by a nuclear fission reaction such as the boron neutron capture reaction. Different strategies have been employed to improve the selectivity and delivery of radiation dose to tumor cells based on the source of the clinically used alpha particles.

Pressure-induced polymerization (PIP) of aromatic molecules has emerged as an effective method for synthesizing various carbon-based materials. The selection of suitable functionalized molecular precursors is crucial for obtaining the desired structures and functions. In this work, 1,4-difluorobenzene (1,4-DFB) was selected as the building block for PIP.

Battery research often encounters the challenge of determining chemical information, such as composition and elemental oxidation states, of a layer buried within a cell stack in a non-destructive manner. Spectroscopic techniques based on X-ray emission or absorption are well-suited and commonly employed to reveal this information. However, the attenuation of X-rays as they travel through matter creates a challenge when trying to analyze layers buried at depths exceeding hundred micrometers from the sample's surface.

Article Synopsis
- - The spatial distribution of component species in electroactive film devices is crucial for understanding their performance, influencing both transport rates and mechanical properties.
- - Specular neutron reflectivity (NR) is a technique that can profile individual species at "buried" interfaces, although it has traditionally had poor time resolution.
- - This study demonstrates improved NR measurements that allow for spatial and temporal resolution during processes like polypyrrole electrodeposition and copper deposition/dissolution, revealing insights into film homogeneity and complex solvent interactions.

Purification and storage of acetylene (CH) are important to many industrial processes. The exploitation of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials to address the balance between selectivity for CH vs carbon dioxide (CO) against maximising uptake of CH has attracted much interest. Herein, we report that the synergy between unsaturated Cu(II) sites and functional groups, fluoro (-F), methyl (-CH), nitro (-NO) in a series of isostructural MOF materials MFM-190(R) that show exceptional adsorption and selectivity of CH.
