Fabrication of gold nanoparticles in Therminol VP-1 by laser ablation and fragmentation with fs pulses
(IOP Science, 2014-10-22)
This letter reports on a physical method to produce highly pure, size-controlled and well-dispersed spherical gold nanoparticles (NPs) in Therminol VP-1 by pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) using a 30 fs Ti:Sapphire ...
Structural and functional insights into the delivery of a bacterial Rhs pore-forming toxin to the membrane
(Nature Research, 2023-11-28)
Bacterial competition is a significant driver of toxin polymorphism, which allows continual compensatory evolution between toxins and the resistance developed to overcome their activity. Bacterial Rearrangement hot spot ...
On Mott-Schottky analysis interpretation of capacitance measurements in organometal perovskite solar cells
(AIP Publishing, 2016)
Capacitance response of perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) can be exploited to infer underlying physical mechanisms, both in the materials bulk and at outer interfaces. Particularly interesting is applying the depletion ...
Tunable Open Circuit Voltage by Engineering Inorganic Cesium Lead Bromide/Iodide Perovskite Solar Cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Perovskite solar cells based on series of inorganic cesium lead bromide and iodide mixture, CsPbBr3-xI x , where x varies between 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 molar ratio were synthesized by two step-sequential deposition at ambient ...

(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-04-15)
In this work, spectroelectrochemical techniques are employed to analyse the catalytic water oxidation performance of a series of three nickel/iron oxyhydroxide electrocatalysts deposited on FTO and BiVO4, at neutral pH. ...
Channel-Inactivating Mutations and Their Revertant Mutants in the Envelope Protein of Infectious Bronchitis Virus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-12)
It has been shown previously in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) that two point mutations, N15A and V25F, in the transmembrane domain (TMD) of the envelope (E) protein abolished channel activity ...
Electron injection and scaffold effects in perovskite solar cells
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-12)
In spite of the impressive efficiencies reported for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), key aspects of their working principles, such as electron injection at the contacts or the suitability of the utilization of a specific ...
Environmental performance of 3D-Printing polymerisable ionic liquids
(Elsevier, 2018-12-28)
This work presents a “cradle-to-gate” Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of 3D-printing polymerisable ionic liquids (PILs) using digital light projection (DLP). It is based on primary data from environmental emissions, wastewater, ...
Cooperative kinetics of depolarization in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
Despite the large photovoltaic performance recently achieved, many aspects of the working principles of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells remain to be unveiled. We analyze the experimental features observed ...
Interfacial band-edge energetics for solar fuels production
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has received growing attention as a potential pathway to replace fossil fuels and produce a clean, renewable, and sustainable source of fuel. To achieve overall water splitting ...
