Formation and Stabilization of Combustion-Generated Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals on Transition Metal Oxides Supported on Silica
… This manuscript reports the formation of EPFRs on silica particles containing 5% Fe(III)2O3, Ni(II)O, and Zn(II)O. The EPFRs are formed by the chemisorption of substituted aromatic molecular adsorbates on the metal cation center followed by electron transfer from the adsorbate to the metal …

Formation of Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals on the Surface of Iron Oxide and Interior of Montmorillonite Clay
<p>Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are a new class of pollutants known to damage the lungs and heart, as well as catalyze the formation of toxic compounds such as dioxins and furans. EPFRs are known to form on metal oxide nanoparticles’ surface, including iron (III) oxide, and …

Single-crystal metal oxides and supported metal nanoclusters as model catalyst sytems
… of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) from aromatic precursors, and Au and Cu nanoparticles that may be suitable catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of CO or hydrogenation of CO2. First, we examine the adsorption behavior of phenol on rutile TiO2(110) and ultrathin films of …
