We report on the effect of substituting the two tetrabutyl ammonium counter ions of the standard N719 dye by sodium ions on the performance and stability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The disodium analogue of N719 in conjunction with a non-volatile ...
The photoexcitation and photoionization dynamics of sodium atoms deposited on the surface of helium nanodroplets and aromatic molecules (aniline, phenol and toluene) embedded in the interior of droplets have been investigated by a variety of spectroscopic ...
Phosphorescent composition comprises an alkaline earth metal silicate doped with europium fluoride and another lanthanide fluoride. Independent claims are also included for: (1) producing a composition as above by grinding a mixture of alkaline earth metal ...
The water-soluble iridium(III) complexes [CpIr(PTA)Cl2] (1) and [CpIr(PTA)2Cl]Cl (2) (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) have been synthesised and characterised by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The complexes were evaluated as catalyst prec ...
The coupling of the flow field flow fractionation to differential refractive index (DRI) and multi-angle laser light scattering detectors is a powerful tool for characterizing charged polysaccharides such as alginate. However, the correct interpretation of ...
We used thermogravimetric hydrogen reduction and iodometric titration to determine the bulk valence state of cobalt in Co-perovskites containing surface carbonate hydroxide or hydroxyl groups. It could be shown that thermogravimetric hydrogen reduction exp ...
The speciation of the trace nutrients Co(II) and Ni(II) in sulfide containing media can control the methanogenic activity of Methanosarcina sp., which is of importance for the optimisation of anaerobic treatment of wastewater containing methanol. To obtain ...
This manuscript describes the synthesis of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) brushes via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of sodium methacrylate (NaMA) and their use as substrates for the mineralization of calcium carbonate. A C ...
Clusters containing nine lanthanide and six sodium ions are crystallized with the help of a tridentate ligand bearing a phosphonic acid group; the structure of the EuIII compound reveals a host-guest assembly Eu⊂Na6Eu8L16 with a substantial quantum yield ( ...
Permeable reactive barriers employing iron as a reactive surface have received extensive attention. A remaining issue, however, relates to their longevity. As an integral part of a long-term column study conducted to examine the influence of inorganic coso ...
