SnSb binary alloy induced heterogeneous nucleation within the confined nanospace: Toward dendrite-free, flexible and energy/power dense sodium metal batteries

Dou Du, Yujie Liu

Rechargeable sodium (Na) metal batteries (SMBs) provide an alternative energy-dense, low-cost energy storage system beyond prevailing Li-ion technologies. However, their practical deployment requires the performance evaluation of Na anodes on the device le ...

Influence of the Dopant Gas Precursor in P-Type Nanocrystalline Silicon Layers on the Performance of Front Junction Heterojunction Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Laurie-Lou Senaud, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Jan Haschke, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Jean Cattin, Julie Amandine Dreon, Mario Joe Lehmann, Vincent Philippe Paratte

Silicon heterojunction solar cells can employ p-type hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon nc-Si:H(p) on their front side, since these can provide better transparency and contact resistance compared to hydrogenated p-type amorphous silicon layers. We invest ...

Halide removal from aqueous solution by novel silver-polymeric materials

Urs von Gunten

The objective of this study was to analyze the behavior of a new material, silver-doped polymeric cloth (Ag-cloth), in the removal of bromide and iodide from waters. Silver is immobilized on the cloth, guaranteeing selective adsorption of the halide ions a ...

Stabilization of volatile Ti(BH4)(3) by nano-confinement in a metal-organic framework

Elsa Callini

Liquid complex hydrides are a new class of hydrogen storage materials with several advantages over solid hydrides, e.g. they are flexible in shape, they are a flowing fluid and their convective properties facilitate heat transport. The physical and chemica ...

Silver nanoparticle toxicity and association with the alga Euglena gracilis

Kristin Schirmer, Laura Sigg, Renata Behra, Xiaomei Li, Laetitia Bernard

The impact of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on aquatic algae has largely been studied with model species that possess a rigid cell wall. Here, we explored the interactions of AgNPs with Euglena gracilis, a green alga having no cell wall but a pellicle. The ...

Compact portable biosensor for arsenic detection in aqueous samples with Escherichia coli bioreporter cells

Philippe Renaud, Harald Van Lintel, Nina Buffi

We present a compact portable biosensor to measure arsenic As(III) concentrations in water using Escherichia coli bioreporter cells. Escherichia coli expresses green fluorescent protein in a linearly dependent manner as a function of the arsenic concentrat ...
