From Polyoxometalates to Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
Polyoxometalates have been used to create hierarchical transition metal dichalcogenide structures at low temperature.
Sungas Instead of Syngas
Hydrogen and carbon monoxide gas (sungas) is generated in a solar thermal electrochemical process (STEP) from water and carbon dioxide.
Excitons in metal-halide perovskites
Menendez-Proupin et al. study excitons in metal-halide perovskites using the effective mass approximation providing better agreement with the experiment.
Patterned polypeptoid brushes: Non-fouling surfaces
Two new methods – microcontact printing and photolithography – to obtain structured polypeptoid brushes with excellent non-fouling properties are presented.
Don't touch: Operating displays with moisture
A new sensor technology could enable touchless displays that respond to moisture emitted by the human body.
A Fluorescent Rotaxane: Molecular Shuttle and Sensor Gel
The fluorescent rotaxane is a molecular shuttle sensitive to temperature, pH, and solvent polarity changes. It forms a gel which changes its fluorescence properties upon acidic/basic gas exposure and can be turned into a liquid by shaking, heating, and by adding anions.
Fuel cell water highways paved by electron radiation grafting
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have developed a coating technique that improves water management in fuel cells, thus raising their efficiency.
