Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is widely recognized as a promising candidate for the production of solar fuels via water splitting, but its intrinsic optoelectronic properties have limited its performance to date. In particular, the large electrochemical overpoten ...
A large number of studies have indicated recently that photosynthetic reaction center proteins (RC) bind successfully to nanostructures and their functional activity is largely retained. The major goal of current research is to find the most efficient syst ...
It has been already proved that electrical capacitance increases at the electrode surface due to binding of highly charged antigens on the biointerface. In this paper, this capacitance change was used to demonstrate a novel detection for cardiac troponin I ...
The electrochemical stability of ionic liquids based on the 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium EMIM cation and three different anions, dicyanoamide (N(CN)(2)), tricyanomethanide (C(CN)(3)) and tetracyanoborate (B(CN)(4)), has been investigate ...
Cr poisoning is a well-identified performance degradation process in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). While stainless steel (SS) interconnects have been identified to be a significant source of Cr, the Cr contribution from balance-of-plant (BoP) components l ...
Knee and hip joint replacement implants involve a sliding contact between the femoral component and the tibial or acetabular component immersed in body fluids, thus making the metallic parts susceptible to tribocorrosion. Micro-motions occur at points of f ...
In this work nanocomposites based on organic-capped semiconductor nanocrystals formed of a core of CdSe coated with a shell of ZnS (CdSe@ZnS), with different sizes, and a semiconducting conjugated polymer, namely poly[(9,9-dihexylfluoren-2,7-diyl)-alt-(2,5 ...
Current research in the biotechnological field is hampered by the lack of available technologies dedicated to cell monitoring. While on the one hand physicochemical parameters, such as pH, temperature, cell density and adhesion, can be monitored quite easi ...
A validated multi-physics numerical model that accounts for charge and species conservation, fluid flow, and electrochemical processes has been used to analyze the performance of solar-driven photoelectrochemical water-splitting systems. The modeling has p ...
Thin semitransparent films were fabricated on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) from single-layer graphene oxide (GO) either pure or in a composite with graphene nanoplatelets. Electrocatalytic activity of prepared films was tested for the Co(bpy)(3)(3+/2+) redox couple ...
