Near-complete suppression of surface losses and total internal quantum efficiency in BiVO4 photoanodes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-05-26)
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is one of the most efficient light absorbing metal oxides for solar water
splitting. BiVO4 photoanodes immersed in an electrolyte in an open circuit configuration and exposed to
simulated solar ...
Superior Performance of V2O5 as Hole Selective Contact over other Transition Metal Oxides in Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells
(Elsevier, 2017)
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have recently been proved to efficiently serve as
hole-selective contacts in crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction solar cells. In the
present work, two TMO/c-Si heterojunctions are ...
Effect of the Endosomal Acidification on Small Ion Transport through the Anthrax Toxin PA63 Channel
(Wiley, 2017-11)
Tight regulation of pH is critical for the structure and function of cells and organelles. The pH environment changes dramatically along the endocytic pathway, an internalization transport process that is ‘hijacked’ by ...
Interface inductive currents and carrier injection in hybrid perovskite single crystals
(AIP Publishing, 2017-10)
nterfaces between the absorbing perovskite and transporting layers are gaining attention as the key locus that governs solar cell operation and long term performance. The interplay of ionic and electronic processes, along ...
Viroporins: A new target for fighting viral infections
(SBE - Sociedad de Biofísica de España, 2017)
Over the last years an increasing number of viruses have jumped into the mass media and several
names or acronyms (Ebola, zika, SARS, MERS,…) have become familiar to the general public because of the high mortality rates ...
Mutation-induced changes of transmembrane pore size revealed by combined ion-channel conductance and single vesicle permeabilization analyses
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
Permeabilization of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is instrumental in the progression of host-cell infection by many viral pathogens. We have described that permeabilization of ER model membranes by the pore-forming domain ...
Role of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Viroporins E, 3a, and 8a in Replication and Pathogenesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018)
Viroporins are viral proteins with ion channel (IC) activity that play an
important role in several processes, including virus replication and pathogenesis.
While many coronaviruses (CoVs) encode two viroporins, severe ...
Femtosecond laser settings for optimal bracket bonding to zirconia
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
Bonding orthodontic brackets to ceramic materials is a challenging procedure; femtosecond (FS) laser conditioning could provide
improved results, but the ideal settings for effective bracket-zirconia bonding have never ...
Structural and dielectric properties of cobaltacarborane composite polybenzimidazole membranes as solid polymer electrolytes at high temperature
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
The conductivity of a series of composite membranes, based on polybenzimidazole (PBI) containing the
metallacarborane salt M[Co(C2B9H11)2], M[COSANE] and tetraphenylborate, M[B(C6H5)4], M[TPB] both
anions having the same ...
