Use Zinc Oxide Flowers to Create Better Photocatalytic Properties
Researchers have studied low-dimensional nanoscale ZnO building blocks, such as 1D nanorods, 1D nanowires and 2D nanosheets. Recently it was found that mixing these materials with 3D hierarchical ZnO microstructures revealed special optical, electrical and catalytic properties.
Understanding H- and J-Aggregation: One Small Step for a Scientist, One Giant Leap for Solar Cells
Optimizing H- and J-type aggregates significantly improves the power conversion efficiency in bulk-heterojunction solar cells.
Breathing Glass: How To Save The Environment With Polymers
Concept of ‘breathing glass’: The biobased poly(limonene carbonate) (PLimC) unifies sustainability, carbon capture and utilisation of carbon dioxide in one material.
All-Printed Batteries: Bend Me, Stretch Me, Twist Me!
Strategy for all-printed Zn-Ag2O battery on a stretchable textile and photographs of sealed battery while being stretched, twisted and indented.
All-Aqueous-Printed And Low-Temperature Transistors
Researchers have demonstrated all-aqueous-printed transparent electrodes and semiconducting layers for high performance, low-cost transistors for flexible electronics applications.
Hydroprinting: A Simple Method to Print Conductive Patterns onto 3D Structures
Researchers have used hydroprinting – a new and versatile technique – to prepare conductive features on 3D objects.
A Bright Future for Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Compounds
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-type compounds have potential to become high-efficiency-solid-state lighting technologies in the future.
Nothing Sticks to this Coating: Superamphiphobic Surfaces
Superamphiphobic and durable coatings on woven/non-woven surfaces for repelling many types of liquids.
Infrared Regulating Smart Windows based on Organic Materials
The next generation of smart windows based on organic materials which can change their properties by reflecting or transmitting excess solar energy in such a way that comfortable indoor temperatures can be maintained throughout the year.
