Ru-based nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution: structural and electronic effects
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-10-10)
The performance of Ru-based nanoparticles (NPs) in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) relies on both their structural properties and the oxidation state of the metal. Herein, the versatility of the organometallic approach ...
The Complex Proteolipidic Behavior of the SARS-CoV-2 Envelope Protein Channel: Weak Selectivity and Heterogeneous Oligomerization
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-08-05)
The envelope (E) protein is a small polypeptide that can form ion channels in coronaviruses. In SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent that caused the recent COVID-19 pandemic, and its predecessor SARS-CoV-1, E protein ...
Characterization of Aerosol Deposited Cesium Lead Tribromide Perovskite Films on Interdigited ITO Electrodes
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-01-15)
Aerosol deposition (AD) is a promising additive manufacturing method to fabricate low-cost, scalable films at room temperature, but has not been considered for semiconductor processing, so far. The successful preparation ...
α-Synuclein emerges as a potent regulator of VDAC-facilitated calcium transport
(Elsevier, 2021-02-02)
Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the most ubiquitous channel at the mitochondrial outer membrane, and is believed to be the pathway for calcium entering or leaving the mitochondria. Therefore, understanding the ...
A low temperature aqueous formate fuel cell using cobalt hexacyanoferrate as a non-noble metal oxidation catalyst
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-12-01)
Cobalt hexacyanoferrate, the Co–Fe Prussian blue derivative (CoFePB), is an effective, selective and stable electrocatalyst for formate oxidation, exhibiting robust performance under a variety of electrolyte conditions. ...
From Frequency Domain to Time Transient Methods for Halide Perovskite Solar Cells: The Connections of IMPS, IMVS, TPC, and TPV
(American Chemical Society, 2021-08-26)
The correlation of different methods of measurement can become an important tool to identify the dominant physical elements that govern the electronic and ionic dynamics in perovskite solar cells. The diverse phenomena ...
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. ...
Strong spatial dispersion in time-modulated dielectric media
(American Physical Society, 2020)
We present an effective medium description of time-modulated dielectric media. By taking the averaged fields
over one modulation period, the relationship between them is derived, therefore defining the different ...
Entropic restrictions control the electric conductance of superprotonic ionic solids
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
The crystallographic structure of solid electrolytes and other materials determines the protonic
conductivity in devices such as fuel cells, ionic-conductors, and supercapacitors. Experiments show that
a rise of the ...
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 ...
