Distribution of active surface centers (DAC) spectroscopy is applied to study acid-base properties of solids. Surface characteristics of solid influences interface interaction in which this solid participates. Efficient approach to consider such interactions is to view them as acid-base ones, since acid-base interactions determine adsorption and bonding of organic molecules to solid surface. Paper describes application of method to study surface properties of components of luminescent materials, catalysts, gas sensors, proton membranes and polymer composites, and it was shown that their functional properties strongly depend on distribution of acid-base active surface centers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
