<p>The inert nature of graphitic samples allows for characterisation of rather isolated supported nanoparticles in model catalysts, as long as sufficiently large inter-particle distances are obtained. However, the low surface area of graphite and the little interaction with nanoparticles result in a challenging application of conventional preparation routes in practice. In the present study, a set of graphitic carbon materials was characterised in order to identify potential support materials for the preparation of model catalyst systems. Various sizes of well-defined Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles were synthesised separately and supported onto exfoliated graphite powder, that is graphite after solvent-assisted exfoliation <i>via</i> ultrasonication resulting in thinner flakes with increased specific surface area. The developed model catalysts are ideally suited for sintering studies of isolated nano-sized cobaltous particles as the graphitic support material does not provide distinct metal-support interaction. Furthermore, the differently sized cobaltous particles in the various model systems render possible studies on structural dependencies of activity, selectivity, and deactivation in cobalt oxide or cobalt catalysed reactions.</p>

A review of our present knowledge concerning the solvation of excess electrons e−exc → e−solv produced by photoionization or radiolysis in polar media has been attempted. Various properties of the solvated electron (proposed solvation mechanisms, structure, physicochemical characteristics) are considered. In spite of some similarities, e−solv does not seem to be a good prototype for solvated halide anions. The behavior of e−exc in heterogeneous model systems, such as micellar solutions and molecular clusters, is described and correlated with that observed in homogeneous media. Key words: excess electrons, homogeneous and heterogeneous polar media, photoionization, radiolysis, solvation, charge transfer to solvent, properties of the solvated electron, micellar solutions, molecular clusters, comparison with the solvation of anions.

The aim of this work was to improve microwave heating in white sauces using different polysaccharides in their formulation; &iota;-, &lambda;- and &kappa-carrageenan and native and modified starches were used as thickeners. Five model systems were prepared, each one with a different polysaccharide, salt, and water. Dielectric loss factor (&epsilon;'') was measured and penetration depth of the electric field was calculated at 20 and 40°C at 2450 GHz. The results showed that &epsilon;'' increased significantly (<I>P</I> < 0.05) when temperature rose in all the model systems. Moreover, &epsilon;'' decreased significantly (<I>P</I> < 0.05) when the polysaccharide concentration rose in the systems elaborated with starch (both native and modified). The penetration depth increased significantly at 40°C when native starch concentration rose. Not significant differences due to the thickener concentration were found in the depth penetration values in the other model systems, both at 20 and 40°C.

Abstract. The application of direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART-MS), which is finding increasing use in atmospheric chemistry, to two different laboratory model systems for airborne particles is investigated: (1) submicron C3–C7 dicarboxylic acid (diacid) particles reacted with gas-phase trimethylamine (TMA) or butylamine (BA) and (2) secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles from the ozonolysis of α-cedrene. The diacid particles exhibit a clear odd–even pattern in their chemical reactivity toward TMA and BA, with the odd-carbon diacid particles being substantially more reactive than even ones. The ratio of base to diacid in reacted particles, determined using known diacid–base mixtures, was compared to that measured by high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometry (HR-ToF-AMS), which vaporizes the whole particle. Results show that DART-MS probes  ∼  30 nm of the surface layer, consistent with other studies on different systems. For α-cedrene SOA particles, it is shown that varying the temperature of the particle stream as it enters the DART-MS ionization region can distinguish between specific components with the same molecular mass but different vapor pressures. These results demonstrate the utility of DART-MS for (1) examining reactivity of heterogeneous model systems for atmospheric particles and (2) probing components of SOA particles based on volatility.
