Cathodic shift in onset potential of solar oxygen evolution on hematite by 13-group oxide overlayers

Michael Graetzel, Kevin Sivula, Nicolas Tétreault, Florian Le Formal, Maurin Cornuz, Jérémie Minh-Châu Brillet, Takashi Hisatomi

The onset potential of photoelectrochemical water oxidation on ultrathin hematite was improved by up to 200 mV by the chemical bath deposition of 13-group oxides as overlayers. It is proposed that the corundum-type overlayers released lattice strain of the ...

Highly Efficient CdS Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on a Modified Polysulfide Electrolyte

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

A modified polysulfide redox couple, [(CH3)4N]2S/[(CH3)4N]2Sn, in an org. solvent (3-methoxypropionitrile) was employed in CdS quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs), and an unprecedented energy conversion efficiency of up to 3.2% was obtained under a ...

Scanning Tunneling Luminescence of Individual CdSe Nanowires

Klaus Kern, Zhe Wang, Marko Burghard, Theresa Lutz, Alexander Kabakchiev, Thomas Dufaux

The local luminescence properties of individual CdSe nanowires composed of segments of zinc blende and wurtzite crystal structures are investigated by low-temperature scanning tunneling luminescence spectroscopy. Light emission from the wires is achieved b ...

Catalytic coating of virus particles with zinc oxide

Klaus Kern, Alexander Bittner, Sinan Balci

We show that the rod-shaped Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can be coated with the wide band gap semiconductor zinc oxide by electroless deposition under mild reaction conditions. The process involves pretreatment with aqueous Pd(II), followed by nucleation of ...

Hydrogen bubbles and the growth morphology of ramified zinc by electrodeposition

Giorgio Margaritondo

Real-time X-ray microscopy was used to study the influence of hydrogen-bubble formation on the morphology of ramified zinc electrodeposit. The experimental results show that when intense hydrogen bubbling occurs at high potential, the morphology of the ram ...

On-line Electrogeneration of Copper-Peptide Complexes in Microspray Mass Spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Michel Prudent

The interaction of copper ions with peptides was investigated by electrospray mass spectrometry. Two electrospray micro-emitters were compared, the first one with a platinum electrode using a copper(II) electrolyte solution containing a peptide sample, and ...

Interfacial intermetallic growth and strength of composite lead-free solder alloy through isothermal aging

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Venkatesh Sivasubramaniam

The effects of particle reinforcement of Sn-4.0wt.%Ag-0.5wt.%Cu (SAC405) lead-free solder on interfacial intermetallic layer growth and strength of the ensuing joints through short-term isothermal aging (150 degrees C) were studied. Composite solders were ...
