Hematite Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting: A Detailed Spectroelectrochemical Analysis on the pH-Dependent Performance

Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Florian Le Formal, Yongpeng Liu, Florent Alexandre Boudoire

The effect of the electrolyte pH on the performance of metal oxide photoanodes for solar water oxidation has not been fully resolved, and contrasting views have been presented in recent reports. Herein, a comprehensive set of spectroelectrochemical techniq ...

How far does the defect tolerance of lead-halide perovskites range? The example of Bi impurities introducing efficient recombination centers

Wolfgang Richard Tress, Simone Meloni, Björn Niesen, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Zaiwei Wang, Chien-Jen Yang, Mozhgan Yavari, Firouzeh Ebadi Garjan

One of the key properties of lead-halide perovskites employed in solar cells is the defect tolerance of the materials, in particular regarding intrinsic point defects, which mainly form shallow traps. Considering that high luminescence yields and photovolt ...

Boosting the performance of distributed optical fiber sensors based on adaptive decoder

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Simon Adrien Zaslawski, Sheng Wang, Jian Wu

An adaptive decoder is proposed to derive the fiber single-pulse response. This experimentally simple technique simultaneously improves the measurement time and the noise level, boosting to an uncommon degree the overall performance of distributed fiber se ...

Thermo-mechanical performance of energy pile groups

Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

Employing geostructures as structural supports and geomaterials as reservoirs for the extraction and storage of heat represent effective means to meet human activity needs since ancient times. This doctoral thesis focuses on the thermo-mechanical behaviour ...

Probing renal pH using hyperpolarized [1-13C]alaninamide

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

Hyperpolarized molecular probes can be effectively used as pH markers. To date, the only two probes reported in vivo as extracellular pH sensors are 13C-bicarbonate, and [1,5-13C2]zymonic acid. Alaninamide is a derivative of alanine which is found to be se ...

Accurate Profile Measurement of the low Intensity Secondary Beams in the CERN Experimental Areas

Inaki Ortega Ruiz

The CERN accelerators deliver a wide spectrum of secondary beams to the Experimental Areas. These beams are composed of hadrons, leptons, and heavy ions that can vary greatly in momentum (1 GeV/c to 400 GeV/c) and intensity (10^2 to 10^8 particles per seco ...

Fine particle pH and gas-particle phase partitioning of inorganic species in Pasadena, California, during the 2010 CalNex campaign

Athanasios Nenes, Junqiu Liu, Hairun Guo

pH is a fundamental aerosol property that affects ambient particle concentration and composition, linking pH to all aerosol environmental impacts. Here, PM1 and PM2.5 pH are calculated based on data from measurements during the California Research at the N ...

Determinants of PhD holders' use of social networking sites: An analysis based on LinkedIn

Stefano Horst Baruffaldi

Social networking sites are an increasingly important tool for career development, especially for highly skilled individuals. Moreover, they may constitute valuable sources of data for scholars and policy makers. However, little research has been conducted ...

The importance of neuronal networks for motor rehabilitation after a stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Every year in Europe 1.5 million patients suffer a new stroke. Despite the further developments in acute therapy with nationwide stroke units, thrombolysis, thrombectomy and post-acute neurorehabilitation, only a small proportion of patients recover to a s ...
