Phase Structure and Surface Morphology

In the literature various publications report that dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed to systematically explore how the phase separated structures (core-shell or Janus) of a series of polymer blends in solution can be affected by the hydrophobicity and compatibihty difference among blended polymers and the solvent.

Well-dispersed ternary PtRuSn catalysts of various atomic ratios (60 30 10, 60 20 20, and 60 10 30) were deposited onto carbon using a modified alcohol-reduction process by Wu et al. [303]. The alloy phase structure and surface morphology for each variation of the PtRuSn/C catalysts were determined by XRD and HR-TEM. In order to evaluate the contributions of Ru and Sn in the different stages of ethanol oxidation, electrochemical oxidations of adsorbed CO, ethanol, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid were performed on each PtRuSn/C catalyst. The results indicated that the Ru-rich PtRuSn/C catalyst (60 30 10) exhibited the lowest...
