Solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells using polymerized ionic liquid electrolyte with platinum-free counter electrode

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

A polymerized ionic liquid electrolyte and platinum-free counter electrode are employed for solid-state DSSCs. We are able to prepare a thin polymer electrolyte layer on nanocrystalline TiO2 in order to reduce the cell resistance. In addition, an electron ...

Boronic Acids as Building Blocks for Molecular Nanostructures and Polymeric Materials

Kay Severin

Boronic acids are versatile building blocks for the construction of complex molecular architectures. Using reversible condensation reactions, it is possible to obtain macrocycles, cages, dendritic structures, and rotaxanes, as well as 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensi ...

Lead-free low-firing thick-film resistors based on bismuth glasses and ruthenium oxide

Peter Ryser, Claudio Grimaldi, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq

Recent developments in thick-film technology have seen the widespread introduction of lead- free alternative to traditional conductive, dielectric and overglaze compositions. Resistors, however, have lagged behind this trend, as developing balanced and wel ...

Delocalized surface modes reveal three-dimensional structures of complex biomolecules

Sylvie Roke

Interfaces are important for many processes in chemistry, physics, and biology. Crucial to their properties are the details of the three-dimensional structure of the participating (macro)molecules. Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation (VSFG) is a tool spec ...

Thermopower measurements on pentacene transistors

Libero Zuppiroli, Marie-Noëlle Bussac, Adrian von Mühlenen

We present the first thermoelectric measurements on pentacene field effect transistors. We report high values of the Seebeck coefficient at room temperature between 240 and 500 micro V/K depending on the dielectric surface treatment. These values are indep ...

Coupled Biogeochemical processes governing the stability of bacteriogenic UO2+x

Elena Suvorova Buffat, Harish Veeramani, Jonathan Sharp

The chemical stability of bacteriogenic “UO2” is one of the seminal issues governing its success as an in-situ waste form in remediated subsurface locations. Little detail is known about the structure and reactivity of this material, but based on compariso ...
