Even-odd conductance effect in graphene nanoribbons induced by edge functionalization with aromatic molecules: basis for novel chemosensors

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics, Michele Pizzochero

We theoretically investigate the electron transport in armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) chemically functionalized withp-polyphenyl and polyacene groups of increasing length. Our nearest-neighbor tight-binding calculations indicate that, depe ...

Heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants contamination in river, estuary, and marine sediments from Atlantic Coast of Democratic Republic of the Congo

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean

The pollution assessment and the evaluation of potential risks in the Atlantic Coastal Region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are still very limited. Consequently, the present study investigates for the first time the concentrations of heavy metals ...

Vinyl and Alkynyl Triazenes: Synthesis, Reactivity, and Applications

Kay Severin, Abdusalom Suleymanov

Aromatic compounds containing triazenyl groups (N3RR′) have a profound impact on synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry. In contrast, the chemistry of vinyl and alkynyl triazenes was a largely uncharted territory until recently. The situation has change ...

Monitoring of Priority Substances in Sediments of Switzerland

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Maria del Carmen Casado Martinez

In Switzerland, surface waters are protected by the Swiss Water Protection Ordinance (OEaux) which stipulates that the water quality shall be such that: "the water, suspended matter and sediments contain no persistent synthetic substances to ensure the pro ...

Toward Bright Red-Emissive Carbon Dots through Controlling Interaction among Surface Emission Centers

Relatively weak red photoluminescence of carbon dots (CDots) is a major challenge on the way to their successful implementation in biological and optoelectronic devices. We present a theoretical analysis of the interaction among the surface emission center ...

Photoemission from non-polar aromatic molecules in the gas and liquid phase

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara, Jakob Grilj, Luca Longetti

The photoelectron spectra of both liquid and gas phase aromatic molecules are reported. The spectra were obtained using a 34.1 eV source produced by high harmonic generation and analysed with the help of high-level ab initio simulations using the reflectio ...

Lignin Functionalization for the Production of Novel Materials

Jeremy Luterbacher, Stefania Bertella

Lignin, a major constituent of lignocellulosic biomass, is the largest natural source of aromatic molecules and thus is an attractive feedstock for renewable chemical production. Direct incorporation of isolated lignin into materials has long been research ...

The role of malachite nanorods for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C-2 hydrocarbons

Emad Oveisi, Jie Zhang, Kun Zhao, Mariana Spodaryk

The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to higher hydrocarbons is a very challenging process that has high potential for the storage of large amounts of renewable energy with a high gravimetric and volumetric energy density. The distribution of hydrocarbons f ...

Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Carboxylic Acids to Fuels and Chemicals

Jher Hau Yeap

Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...

An In Situ Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy Study of Electrochemical CO2 Reduction: Selectivity Dependence on Surface C-Bound and O-Bound Reaction Intermediates

Nicola Marzari, Oliviero Andreussi, Francesco Nattino

The CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising avenue to convert greenhouse gases into high-value fuels and chemicals, in addition to being an attractive method for storing intermittent renewable energy. Although polycrystalline Cu surfaces have ...
