Effect of Mesostructured Layer upon Crystalline Properties and Device Performance on Perovskite Solar Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2015-04)
One of the most fascinating characteristics of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is the retrieved obtainment of outstanding photovoltaic (PV) performances withstanding important device configuration variations. Here we have ...
Entropy–enthalpy compensation at the single protein level: pH sensing in the bacterial channel OmpF
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
The pH sensing mechanism of the OmpF channel operates via ligand modification: increasing acidity induces the replacement of cations with protons in critical binding sites decreasing the channel conductance. Aside from the ...
Substitution of a hydroxamic acid anchor into the MK-2 dye for enhanced photovoltaic performance and water stability in a DSSC
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
An efficient synthetic protocol to functionalize the cyanoacrylic acid anchoring group of commercially
available MK-2 dye with a highly water-stable hydroxamate anchoring group is described. Extensive

Enhancement of Efficiency in Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells Based on CdS/CdSe/CdSeTe Heterostructure by Improving the Light Absorption in the VIS-NIR Region
(Elsevier, 2017-09-01)
In this work, we demonstrate an enhancement of photocurrent in QDSSCs based on CdS (QDs)/CdSe Quantum rods (QRs)/CdSeTe (QDs) heterostructure due to the increased photon harvesting in the VIS-NIR region. The photo-conversion ...
Enhanced Photovoltaic Performance of Mesoscopic Perovskite Solar Cells by Controlling the Interaction between CH3NH3PbI3 Films and CsPbX3 Perovskite Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2017-02)
We report the incorporation of all-inorganic highly stable CsPbX3 (X = I, Br) based perovskite nanoparticles (NPs) on top of a bulk CH3NH3PbI3perovskite thin film. This design utilizes the photogeneration ability of ...
Lipid charge regulation of non-specific biological ion channels
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
Ion channels are specialized proteins that enable the movement of charges through otherwise impermeable lipidic membranes. Their action is essential in living organisms facilitating electric signaling, muscle contraction ...
Chemical Effects of Tin Oxide Nanoparticles in Polymer Electrolytes-Based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2014-02)
The effects on the photovoltaic performance of the incorporation of SnO2 nanoparticles into the polymer of a solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on the poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether ...
Inhibition of the human respiratory syncytial virus small hydrophobic protein and structural variations in a bicelle environment
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014)
The small hydrophobic (SH) protein is a 64-amino-acid polypeptide encoded by the human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV). SH protein has a single α-helical transmembrane (TM) domain that forms pentameric ion channels. ...
