We introduced a minimal model of the donor-acceptor interface encountered in organic solar cells to explain the efficient generation of free charges in these systems and we investigated the nature of charge transfer states formed by a delocalized exciton in the donor component. Contrarily to the generally accepted vie…
A comprehensive spectral and photophysical investigation of four donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) oligomers consisting of electron-deficient 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole or quinoxaline moieties linked to electron-rich thienyl or bithienyl units has been undertaken. Additionally, a bis(dithienyl) substituted naphthalene was also i…
Halogen bond (X-bond) interactions involving organic iodine have been investigated using data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The analysis of the mean normalised intermolecular distances involving Csp–I, Csp2–I and Csp3–I X-bond donors first show…
The VB energy level of TiO2−xNx can be fine tuned in a wide range by controlling the N content, which realized a high selectivity for the photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation.
A scalable method to load a cobalt-oxide-phosphate (CoPi) water oxidation electrocatalyst onto the surface of a mesoporous graphitic-carbon-nitride (mpg-CNx) semiconductor is reported. This procedure resulted in significant enhancement of photocatalytic activity of the mpg-CNx in water oxidation. The optimal loading g…
BACKGROUND: The investigation of structural organisation in lignocellulose materials is important to understand changes in cellulase accessibility and reactivity resulting from hydrothermal deconstruction, to allow development of strategies to maximise bioethanol process efficiencies. To achieve progress, wheat straw…
The large-pore mesoporous Mn3O4 crystals with tunable morphologies, size and porosities were synthesized via the conversion of metal-organic frameworks, which were fabricated by utilizing the nanostructural organizations of ionic liquid-water mixtures as templates. Mn3O4 showed high catalytic activity for the degradat…
One of the biggest challenges for materials science is to design facile routes to structurally complex materials, which is particularly important for global applications such as fuel cells. Doped nanostructured carbons are targeted as noble metal-free electrocatalysts for this purpose. Their intended widespread use, h…
A new porous metal–organic framework based on paddle-wheel Zn2 units and an unsymmetrical pyridyl dicarboxylate, contains a 3D intersecting pore system with uncommon stepwise adsorption and hysteretic desorption behavior for N2, CO2 and H2 gases at low temperature, and shows high selectivity for CO2 over N2 at ambient…
The cocrystallization between a carboxylic acid and its conjugate base forms materials exhibiting improved physical and chemical stability over corresponding regular salts.
Pulsed electron-electron double resonance (PELDOR, also known as DEER) has become a method of choice to measure distances in biomolecules. In this work we show how the performance of the method can be improved at high EPR frequencies (94 GHz) using variable dual frequency irradiation in a dual mode cavity in order to…
Vertically oriented CuInS(2) nanosheet thin films were prepared via a facile one-step solvothermal process and used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) as counter electrodes. The catalytic activity of the CuInS(2) films based on different precursor concentrations was investigated using electrochemical methods. DSSCs…
A highly efficient new benzoimidazole phosphine oxide based electron transporting material, bis(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole)phenylphosphine oxide (BIPO), was designed, synthesized by condensation, nucleophilic substitution and oxidation reactions, and confirmed using various spectroscopic studies. It shows a thermal…
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) of Ru barrier lines is expected to become a critical processing step in the fabrication of the new interconnect-structures. However, due to its noble metal characteristics, Ru induces galvanic corrosion in its adjacent Cu lines in the wet CMP environment, and resists chemical su…
Three conjugated triphenylamine-based poly(azomethine)s were prepared via well-known polycondensation chemistry using cheap and readily available starting materials and the results were contrasted with rrP3HT. Three functionalized diaminetriphenylamines (TPA(X), X = –H, –OMe, –CN) were polymerized in a simple one-step…
The correlation of the electronic band structure with the photocatalytic activity of AgTaO3 has been studied by simulation and experiments. Doping wide band gap oxide semiconductors usually introduces discrete mid-gap states, which extends the light absorption but has limited benefit for photocatalytic activity. Densi…
Multifunctional chitin/lignin materials were synthesized. In order to combine mechanical milling of the biopolymers with simultaneous mixing, a centrifugal ball mill was utilized. The resulting materials, differing in terms of the proportions of precursors used, underwent detailed physicochemical and dispersive‐morpho…
We report a new method for the facile and fast synthesis of poly(NMA-co-VCL) (NMA = N-methylolacrylamide, VCL = N-vinylcaprolactam) hydrogels via infrared laser ignited frontal polymerization (LIFP). Once LIFP was initiated, no further energy was required for the following polymerization. We investigated the dependenc…
Sulfonated poly(fluorenyl ether ketone) (SPFEK) membranes have been first modified by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of positively charged polyelectrolyte PDDA (poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)) and negatively charged PSS (poly(sodium styrene sulfonate)). The membranes were investigated as an ion exchange me…
Nanocomposites composed of diblock copolymer/ferroelectric nanoparticles were formed by selectively constraining ferroelectric nanoparticles (NPs) within diblock copolymer nanodomains via judicious surface modification of ferroelectric NPs. Ferroelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) NPs with different sizes that are perma…
