Accelerated Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Enzymatic Degradation by Room Temperature Alkali Pre-treatment for Reduced Polymer Crystallinity
(Wiley, 2022-11-07)
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most widely employed plastic for single-use applications. The use of enzymes isolated from microorganisms, such as PETase with the capacity to hydrolyze PET into its monomers, ...
Dual role of graphene as support of ligand-stabilized palladium nanoparticles and carbocatalyst for (de)hydrogenation of N-heterocycles
(Elsevier, 2023-02-18)
The hybrid material composed of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) functionalized with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHCs) immobilized onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) results in an efficient catalytic ...
Gene Identification in Inflammatory Bowel Disease via a Machine Learning Approach
(MDPI, 2023-06)
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an illness with increasing prevalence, particularly in emerging countries, which can have a substantial impact on the quality of life of the patient. The illness is rather heterogeneous ...
An artificial leaf device built with earth-abundant materials for combined H-2 production and storage as formate with efficiency > 10%
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-02-15)
A major challenge for achieving energy transition and transforming the current energy model into distributed production is the development of efficient artificial leaf-type devices capable of directly converting carbon ...
Application of Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals in Solar-Driven Photo(electro)Catalysis
(Wiley, 2022-03-15)
Photo(electro)catalysis (PEC) is a promising strategy to conduct attractive solar-driven reactions such as CO2 reduction to form added-value products, H2 production, and organic substrates oxidation, taking advantage of ...
Rational Design of Carbon Nitride Photoelectrodes with High Activity Toward Organic Oxidations
(Wiley, 2022-12-12)
Carbon nitride (CNx) is a light-absorber with excellent performance in photocatalytic suspension systems, but the activity of CNx photoelectrodes has remained low. Here, cyanamide-functionalized CNx (NCNCNx) was co-deposited ...
Microwave-Mediated Synthesis of Lead-Free Cesium Titanium Bromide Double Perovskite: A Sustainable Approach
(American Chemical Society, 2024-02-02)
Theoretical studies have identified cesium titanium bromide (Cs2TiBr6), a vacancy-ordered double perovskite, as a promising lead-free and earth-abundant candidate to replace Pb-based perovskites in photovoltaics. Our ...
2D Bismuthene as a Functional Interlayer between BiVO4 and NiFeOOH for Enhanced Oxygen-Evolution Photoanodes
(Wiley, 2022-10-26)
BiVO4 has attracted wide attention for oxygen-evolution photoanodes in water-splitting photoelectrochemical devices. However, its performance is hampered by electron-hole recombination at surface states. Herein, partially ...
Direct observation of surface polarization at hybrid perovskite/Au interfaces by dark transient experiments
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-05-05)
A distinctive feature of hybrid perovskite light-absorbing materials is the non-negligible ionic conductivity influencing photovoltaic performance
and stability. Moving ions or vacancies can naturally accumulate at the ...
Identification of Systemic Sclerosis through Machine Learning Algorithms and Gene Expression
(MDPI, 2022)
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune, chronic disease that remains not well understood.
It is believed that the cause of the illness is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The
evolution of the illness ...
