Green-Synthesized Sm3+-Doped ZnO Nanoparticles for Multifunctional Applications by Lavanya R., Ramakrishnappa T., Girish K. M., Suresh Kumar K., Basavaraju N., Shilpa B. M.

“…The enhancement in degradation efficiency is attributed to the incorporation of Sm3+ ions into the ZnO lattice. Utilizing the optimized Sm3+ (5 mol%)-doped ZnO nanoparticles, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) were performed on the prepared electrode, demonstrating the excellent CV properties; this enhancement is attributed to the modification of ZnO’s redox chemistry and the alteration of charge transfer kinetics at the electrode-electrolyte interface due to the addition of Sm3+ into the ZnO structure. …”

Synthesis and study of superacid ZrO–SiO–AlO mixed oxide by Olena Inshina, Alexander Korduban, German Tel'biz, Volodymyr Brei

“…The generation of superacidity in ZrO 2 –SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 matrix could be explained by formation of coordinatively unsaturated Zr 4+ ions which are strong L-sites. It was shown that superacid ZrO 2 –SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 efficiently catalyzes polymerization of tetrahydrofuran in the presence of acetic anhydride at 40℃ with 68% yield of polytetramethyleneoxide acetate.…”

Relationship between clay minerals and microorganisms in underground hydrogen storage reservoirs: a mini review by Allison Clark, Shikha Sharma

“…Microbial-induced chemical weathering, through the production of organic acids and redox reactions, can degrade clay minerals, releasing metal ions and destabilizing the storage site. These interactions raise concerns about the long-term storage capacity of UHS, as microbial processes could lead to H2 loss and caprock degradation, compromising the storage system’s effectiveness. …”
