There is considerable interest in developing solid electrolytes for rechargeable lithium batteries as they have the potential to increase both energy d. due to incorporation of a lithium metal anode and safety of batteries due to the fact that they are non ...
Lithiumborohydride (LiBH4) contains 18.5 wt % hydrogen and exhibits a structural phase transition (orthorhombic→ hexagonal) at 381 K, which is associated with a large increase in hydrogen and lithium mobility in the solid. Confining metal hydrides in a nan ...
A perylene sensitizer, ID176, was recently reported which performs much better in solid state dye-sensitized solar cells than in those using liq. electrolytes with iodide/tri-iodide as the redox couple. Here, a characterization is presented of the sensitiz ...
The dynamics following the photoexcitation of Na and Li atoms located on the surface of helium nanodroplets has been investigated in a joint experimental and theoretical study. Photoelectron spectroscopy has revealed that excitation of the alkali atoms via ...
Simple but powerful chemosensors were developed by taking advantage of self-assembly processes. First, we will describe a turn-on fluorescent sensor for the pharmacologically important lithium ion. The sensor can be used in purely aqueous solution, and it ...
The nucleation and growth behavior of lithium on a CaO/Mo(001) thin film has been investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The Li follows two different growth regimes on the surface. Whereas extended 2D islands develop on to ...
Combinatorial high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition (HV-CVD) was used to identify the conditions required to obtain hafnium-doped lithium niobate thin films on sapphire {001} substrates. Niobium tetraethoxydimethylaminoethoxide (Nb(OEt)(4)(dmae)), lithium ...
The widespread adoption of hydrogen as an energy carrier could bring significant benefits, but only if a number of currently intractable problems can be overcome. Not the least of these is the problem of storage, particularly when aimed at use onboard ligh ...
Uranium building blocks: Two new uranium cluster topologies are obtained from the stoichiometric hydrolysis of low-valent uranium in non-aqueous media (see picture). The organic base TMEDA directs the self-assembly process towards the formation of a nanosi ...
This work describes different strategies for the detection of biologically relevant analytes. The main goal was to achieve sensing in water, which is a prerequisite for application to real biological samples. In several cases, we could demonstrate that our ...
