Silicon heterojunction solar cells critically depend on the detailed properties of their amorphous/crystalline silicon interfaces. We report here on the use of attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy to gain precise ...

Organic carbon (OC) can constitute 50% or more of the mass of atmospheric particulate matter. Typically, organic carbon is measured from a quartz fiber filter that has been exposed to a volume of ambient air and analyzed using thermal methods such as therm ...

Double D-pi-A Dye Linked by 2,2'-Bipyridine Dicarboxylic Acid: Influence of para- and meta-Substituted Carboxyl Anchoring Group

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Peng Gao, Aravind Kumar Chandiran, Paramaguru Ganesan

Starting from 2,2-bipyridine dicarboxylic acid, two new (D--A)(2) sensitizers, including m-DA with the carboxyl anchoring group substituted meta to the donor-bridge moiety and p-DA with a para-substituted anchoring group, were synthesized in order to evalu ...

This paper describes chitin liquefaction in ethylene glycol (EG) under the catalysis of sulfuric acid for the first time. Up to 75% of chitin was liquefied at 165 degrees C within 90 min by using 8 wt % of acid (refer to the mass of EG). The major products ...

In chemometrics, two very different classes of mathematical tools, self-modeling curve resolution and hard-modeling (first-principles) methods, have been developed to resolve pure component concentration profiles and spectra from mixture spectra recorded o ...

A simple electron time-of-flight spectrometer for ultrafast vacuum ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy of liquid solutions

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara

We present a simple electron time of flight spectrometer for time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of liquid samples using a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) source produced by high-harmonic generation. The field free spectrometer coupled with the time-preservi ...

Innovative semi-transparent nanocomposite films presenting photo-switchable behavior and leading to a reduction of the risk of infection under sunlight

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Rosendo Sanjines

Novel sputtered polyethylene-TiO2 (PE-TiO2) thin films induce fast bacterial inactivation with concomitant photo-switchable hydrophobic to hydrophilic transition under light. RF-plasma pretreatments allowed an increased TiO2 loading on PE, favorably affect ...

Biogenic and biomass burning organic aerosol in a boreal forest at Hyytiala, Finland, during HUMPPA-COPEC 2010

Satoshi Takahama, Wuzhou Song

Submicron aerosol particles were collected during July and August 2010 in Hyytiala, Finland, to determine the composition and sources of aerosol at that boreal forest site. Submicron particles were collected on Teflon filters and analyzed by Fourier transf ...

Effect of aging on the performance of solvent-based self-healing materials

Véronique Michaud, Sam Neuser

Solvent healing of thermoset polymer matrices was suggested as an efficient and cost-effective alternative to other encapsulated self-healing systems. However, self-healing efficiency is not guaranteed over time. We report here on the autonomic self-healin ...
