Solution-phase synthesis of Al13 − using a dendrimer template [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Superatoms—clusters that exhibit some of the properties of elemental atoms—could serve as building blocks for functional materials, but their synthesis outside of the gas phase is highly challenging.

Effects of Al(III) and Nano-Al13 Species on Malate Dehydrogenase Activity
Sensors, 2011 The effects of different aluminum species on malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity were investigated by monitoring amperometric i-t curves for the oxidation of NADH at low overpotential using a functionalized multi-wall nanotube (MWNT) modified glass ...

Removal of humic acid by coagulation with nano-Al13 [PDF]
Water Science and Technology: Water Supply, 2006 Pure Al13 solutions at various concentrations were prepared by using the SO4/Ba separation method and characterized by using 27Al-NMR, IR, PCS, AFM and Ferron assay. The mechanism of humic acid removal by coagulation with Al13, lab-made PACl and industry PACl was compared. Special attention has been paid to the aspects of different coagulation species.

Effect of speciation transformation on the coagulation behavior of Al13 and Al13 aggregates
Water Science and Technology, 2009 Flocculation of kaolin suspension with aluminium fractal polycations was investigated as a function of aluminium concentration and pH. Aluminium flocculants included Al13 and Al13 aggregates with OH/Al ratio of 2.6 and 2.8, respectively. The flocculation kinetics and floc size distribution were monitored by light scattering.

Optimization of the separation and purification of Al13 [PDF]
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2003 The optimum process for the separation and purification of Al-13 was investigated in detail in this paper. The various influencing factors were discussed. The experimental results show that the concentration and basicity (B, OH/Al ratio) of polyaluminum chloride (PACl, Al/SO4 ratio, Ba/SO4] ratio and ultrasonic reaction have different roles in the ...
