Global uncertainty-sensitivity analysis on mechanistic kinetic models: From model assessment to theory-driven design of nanoparticles

Paul Bowen, Andrea Testino, Agnese Carino, Mohammad Reza Andalibi

Recently, we developed a population balance framework describing the precipitation of calcium-silicate-hydrate, a key nanomaterial in the construction industry and with potential applications in biomedicine, environmental remediation, and catalysis. In thi ...

In Situ Liquid SAXS Studies on the Early Stage of Calcium Carbonate Formation

Andrea Testino, Agnese Carino, Mohammad Reza Andalibi

Calcium carbonate is a model system to investigate the mechanism of solid formation by precipitation from solutions, and it is often considered in the debated classical and nonclassical nucleation mechanism. Despite the great scientific relevance of calciu ...

A dilute gold nanoparticle suspension as small-angle X-ray scattering standard for an absolute scale using an extended Guinier approximation

Andrea Testino, Agnese Carino, Mohammad Reza Andalibi

In this article, a practical procedure for absolute intensity calibration for small-angle scattering (SAXS) studies on liquid microjets is established. A gold nanoparticle suspension is used as standard so that the intercept at Q = 0 of the SAXS scattering ...

Unravelling the precipitation pathway of biorelevant minerals: from fundamental studies to biomedical applications

Agnese Carino

The formation pathway of biominerals archetypes, namely calcium carbonate (CaC) and calcium phosphates (CaPs), was investigated using a multidisciplinary approach. The time-resolved analytical data were collected using a controlled-composition method and i ...

Thermodynamic-Kinetic Precipitation Modeling. A Case Study: The Amorphous Calcium Carbonate (ACC) Precipitation Pathway Unravelled

Paul Bowen, Andrea Testino, Christian Ludwig, Frank Pilger, Agnese Carino, Mohammad Reza Andalibi

Nine accurate experimental data sets on amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) formation in dilute solution were collected varying temperature and pH. The entire precipitation process is described using a complete thermodynamic-kinetic model. The thermodynamic ...

Size control of Pt clusters on CeO2 nanoparticles via an incorporation-segregation mechanism and study of segregation kinetics

Andrea Testino, Christian Ludwig, Frank Pilger, Agnese Carino

Recent literature on Pt/CeO2 catalysts reveals that ionic Pt species could be incorporated into the CeO2 lattice. Here we present a detailed study of Pt segregation in air and under a reducing atmosphere conducted on thermally treated samples by high-resol ...

Hydrothermal Synthesis of SrTiO3: Role of Interfaces

Andrea Testino, Agnese Carino, Paolo Nanni

The hydrothermal synthesis of SrTiO3 in a Sr(OH)(2)/NaOH solution by reaction of four different single crystalline titanium precursors (anatase, rutile, sodium titanate, and hydrogen titanate) having the same nanowire morphology was investigated under stag ...
