MXene Inks for High-Throughput Printing of Electronics

Jakob Heier, René Uwe Schneider, Sina Abdolhosseinzadeh, Mohammad Jafarpour

MXene inks are promising alternatives for conventional conductive inks in printing electronics. However, the formulation of MXene inks is challenging due to the physicochemical properties of the few solvents in which MXenes can be dispersed. Furthermore, c ...

Nanoparticle-Induced Disorder at Complex Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: Effects of Curvature and Compositional Synergy on Functional Surfaces

Francesco Stellacci, Youwei Ma

The self-assembly of surfactant monolayers at interfaces plays a sweeping role in tasks ranging from household cleaning to the regulation of the respiratory system. The synergy between different nanoscale species at an interface can yield assemblies with e ...

Emergence of Potential-Controlled Cu-Nanocuboids and Graphene-Covered Cu-Nanocuboids under Operando CO2 Electroreduction

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Fernando Pablo Cometto, Karla Banjac, Thanh Hai Phan

The electroreduction of CO2 (CO2RR) is a promising strategy toward sustainable fuels. Cu is the only Earth-abundant and pure metal capable of catalyzing CO2-to-hydrocarbons conversion with significant Faradaic efficiencies; yet, its dynamic structure under ...

Molecular Level Interfacial Studies of Nanoemulsions: Surface Structure, Specific Ion Effects and Stability

Evangelia Zdrali

This thesis is a study on the molecular structure of the interface of nanometer-sized oil droplets dispersed in water, a system known as oil-in-water nanoemulsion. The motivation for this research is the large significance of the interfacial nanostructures ...

Comparison of the functional properties of trimeric and monomeric CaiT of Escherichia coli

Kamila Krystyna Guérin

Secondary transporters exist as monomers, dimers or higher state oligomers. The significance of the oligomeric state is only partially understood. Here, the significance of the trimeric state of the L-carnitine/gamma-butyrobetaine antiporter CaiT of Escher ...

The interfacial structure of nano-and micron-sized oil and water droplets stabilized with SDS and Span80

Sylvie Roke, Esther Amstad, Nikolay Smolentsev, Evangelia Zdrali, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

In this work, we provide a comparison between the stability and the interfacial structure of micrometer-sized and nanometer-sized droplets by employing a multi-instrumental approach comprised of the surface-sensitive technique of sum frequency scattering a ...

Chelating agents as coating molecules for iron oxide nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin

Due to their high chemical affinity towards metal ions, chelating agents (CAs) have been used for decades for water purification, but also for protection against metal intoxication and in nanomedicine as linking molecules at the surface of nanoparticles. H ...

A review of the fate of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Luca Rossi, Jonas Margot

Municipal wastewaters are contaminated by a wide range of chemicals, from surfactants to heavy metals, including pharmaceutical residues, personal care products, various household chemicals, and biocides/pesticides. Their release into the environment, wher ...

Furfural production from empty fruit bunch - A biorefinery approach

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman

Biofuels production from agriculture residues is gaining much attention in Brazil due to agriculture residue availability, environmental benign properties of the fuel and, the capacity to improve rural development. However, for consideration of rational us ...

Hydrophobic radicals embedded in neutral surfactants for dynamic nuclear polarization of aqueous environments at 9.4 Tesla

David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini, Moreno Lelli

We show how large DNP enhancements of NMR signals can be obtained from several hydrophobic radicals that are solubilised in aqueous environments by a variety of biologically compatible neutral amphiphiles. In particular we show that the bi-radical TEKPOL c ...
