The role of crystal facets and disorder on photo-electrosynthesis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-09-23)
Photoelectrochemistry has the potential to play a crucial role in the storage of solar energy and the realisation of a circular economy. From a chemical viewpoint, achieving high conversion efficiencies requires
subtle ...
Boron clusters (ferrabisdicarbollides) shaping the future as radiosensitizers for multimodal (chemo/radio/PBFR) therapy of glioblastoma
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-10-24)
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and fatal primary brain tumor, and is highly resistant to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, the development of multidrug resistance and tumor recurrence ...
Metaclusters for the Full Control of Mechanical Waves
(American Physical Society, 2021)
We present a new method for the control of waves based on inverse multiple scattering theory.
Conceived as a generalization of the concept of metagrating, we call metaclusters to a finite set
of scatterers whose position ...
Toward Expanding the Optical Response of Ag2CrO4 and Bi2O3 by Their Laser-Mediated Heterojunction
(American Chemical Society, 2020-11-18)
The formation of heterojunctions between semiconductors with distinct properties usually expands their capabilities. In this context, many methodologies have been employed in pursuing efficient and fruitful heterojunctions. ...
First Experimental Evidence of Amorphous Tin Oxide Formation in Lead-Free Perovskites by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
(Wiley, 2023)
The most promising lead-free options for producing perovskite solar cells are tin halide perovskite materials. Herein, while in situ monitoring the optical evolution of the material in humid air, spectroscopic ellipsometry ...
How to switch from a poor PEDOT:X oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to a good one. A study on dual redox reversible PEDOT:metallacarborane
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-07-19)
Over the years, extensive research has been carried out to optimize the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by
adopting different techniques as well as catalysts. Conducting organic polymers such as PEDOT have been
employed ...
The structural and electrochemical properties of CuCoO2 crystalline nanopowders and thin films: conductivity experimental analysis and Insights from density functional theory calculations
(MDPI, 2023-08-11)
A novel manufacturing process is presented for producing nanopowders and thin films of CuCoO2 (CCO) material. This process utilizes three cost-effective synthesis methods: hydrothermal, sol-gel, and solid-state reactions. ...
Tuning the selectivity of biomass oxidation over oxygen evolution on NiO-OH electrodes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
Electrochemical reactions powered by renewable electricity are an important means of reducing the carbon footprint of large-scale chemical processes. Here, we investigate the efficient conversion of biomass-derived ...
Triplin: Functional Probing of Its Structure and the Dynamics of the Voltage-Gating Process
(MDPI, 2022-11-22)
Gram-negative bacteria have a large variety of channel-forming proteins in their outer
membrane, generally referred to as porins. Some display weak voltage dependence. A similar trimeric
channel former, named Triplin, ...
Tunable telephoto: governable Fourier spectrum anamorphic scaling
(2021-02-18)
We discuss the Gaussian design of a device that controls the scale, in an anamorphic fashion, of Fraunhofer diffraction patterns. The device uses two pairs of varifocal cylindrical lenses. For spherical lenses, the optical ...
