Lead immobilization for environmentally sustainable perovskite solar cells
Michael Graetzel, Antonio Abate, Hui Zhang
Lead halide perovskites are promising semiconducting materials for solar energy harvesting. However, the presence of heavy-metal lead ions is problematic when considering potential harmful leakage into the environment from broken cells and also from a publ ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Aerosol-into-liquid capture and detection of atmospheric soluble metals across the gas–liquid interface using Janus-membrane electrodes
Jian Wang, Christian Ludwig, Tianyu Cen, Min Gao
The soluble fraction of atmospheric transition metals is particularly associated with health effects such as reactive oxygen species compared to total metals. However, direct measurements of the soluble fraction are restricted to sampling and detection uni ...
2023Toxic Effects of Koumine on the Early-Life Development Stage of Zebrafish
Koumine is one of the most abundant alkaloids found in Gelsemium elegans, and it has a wide range of pharmacological effects including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic treatment effects, and antianxiety. However, its high toxicity and unclear mechan ...
Basel2023Data-Driven C-Refinement A proof-of-concept
Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Sacha Zenon Wattel
This poster was presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Data-driven mechanics, taking place in Paris, France in Octoboer 2022. It shows a proof-of-concept for a new application of Data-Driven Computational Mechanics (DDCM): using it as a new type of adaptive r ...
2022Galvanic replacement reactions of Ga and In with Cu for the synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles
The need for efficient and selective catalysts, capable of driving important conversions to build a more sustainable society, encourages the development of synthetic approaches towards new nanomaterials. Cu-based bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) promise to f ...
EPFL2022LiBF4‐Induced Rearrangement and Desymmetrization of a Palladium‐Ligand Assembly
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Sylvain Alexandre Marie Sudan
Thirteen palladium-ligand assemblies with different structures and topologies were investigated for the ability to bind lithium ions. In one case, the addition of LiBF4 resulted in a profound structural rearrangement, converting a dincluclear [Pd2L4]2 comp ...
2022Probiotics and gut microbiome-Prospects and challenges in remediating heavy metal toxicity
Edgard Gnansounou, Ranjna Sirohi
The gut microbiome, often referred to as "super organ", comprises up to a hundred trillion microorganisms, and the species diversity may vary from person to person. They perform a decisive role in diverse biological functions related to metabolism, immunit ...
ELSEVIER2021Elemental and Thermo-gravimetric Characterization of Trace Metals in Leaves and Soils as Bioindicators of Pollution in Kyiv City
Christian Ludwig, Ajay Bhagwan Patil, Mohamed Tarik
In this study, leaf and soil samples were used as bio-monitors for different alkali and heavy metals at six different locations in Kyiv city. Using x–y plots of the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) data measured the discre ...
2021Development of a Heavy Metal Sensing Boat for Automatic Analysis in Natural Waters Utilizing Anodic Stripping Voltammetry
Determination of the levels of heavy metal ions would support assessment of sources and pathways of water pollution. However, traditional spatial assessment by manual sampling and off-site detection in the laboratory is expensive and time-consuming and req ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021How natural materials remove heavy metals from water: mechanistic insights from molecular dynamics simulations
Wanda Andreoni, Fabio Pietrucci
Water pollution by heavy metals is of increasing concern due to its devastating effects on the environment and on human health. For the removal of heavy metals from water sources, natural materials, such as spent-coffee-grains or orange/banana/chestnut pee ...
