Highly crystalline SnO2 nanowires were synthesized and functionalized with copper particles in a CVD using Sn(OBut)4 and [CuII((C5H4N)(CHCOCF3))2]2 (1) as precursors respectively. Controlled oxidation of Cu to CuO led to the formation of CuO@SnO2 p–n heterojunctions, which were found to be highly sensitive and selecti…

We designed an anisotropic electrode, in which Li(+) ion insertion and diffusion are anisotropic, by controlled growth of TiO2 nanosheets parallel to the surface of graphene paper. The anisotropic electrode gives a gravimetric capacity of 112 mA h g(-1) at an ultra-high rate of 100 C (corresponding to 36 s of charge-d…

Molecular complexes have been found to be excellent precursors for the deposition of catalytically active metal oxide films. Here, three macrocyclic Ni(II) amine complexes have been used for the electrochemical deposition of NiOx films from either a borate buffer solution (pH 9.2) or more basic conditions (pH = 12.9).…

We have found that 9,9'BF can be used as an electron acceptor for P3HT-based OPVs while similar devices using 4,4'BP do not show any photovoltaic effect. This can be related to the respective aromaticity and antiaromaticity of the reduced forms of 9,9'BF or 4,4'BP. The OPV device fabricated using P3HT and 9,9'BF exhib…

Ethanol oxidation on platinum nanoparticles with well-characterized surfaces is studied using cyclic voltammetry and FTIR techniques. Their behavior is compared with that obtained for platinum single crystal electrodes, in order to rationalize their performance and to understand the effects of the surface structure an…

The adsorption and diffusion of ferrocene (FC) in thin MOF films of type Cu2(ndc)2(dabco) were studied by X-ray diffraction and using a quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) at different temperatures. A quantitative analysis of the uptake curves in the QCM during loading with FC from the gas phase yields 0.19 FC compounds…

Derivatization of fullerene (C60) with branched aliphatic chains softens C60-based materials and enables the formation of thermotropic liquid crystals and room temperature nonvolatile liquids. This work demonstrates that by carefully tuning parameters such as type, number and substituent position of the branched chain…

By analysing the results of experiments carried out with two FeFe hydrogenases and several "channel mutants" of a NiFe hydrogenase, we demonstrate that whether or not hydrogen evolution is significantly inhibited by H2 is not a consequence of active site chemistry, but rather relates to H2 transport within the enzyme.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have enjoyed considerable interest due to their high internal surface areas as well as tunable pore geometry and chemistry. However, design of optimal MOFs is a great challenge due to the significant number of possible structures. In this work, we present a strategy to rapidly explore t…

A (PNP)Co(I)methyl diamagnetic complex formally loses an H atom from the pincer ligand, exhibiting a long-range metal-ligand cooperation in what may be considered as an unusual example of 'C-H cleavage'. Spectroscopic data indicate that the product is a neutral Co(I) complex with a radical delocalized in the ligand ba…

We investigate the transport properties in a zigzag silicene nanoribbon in the presence of an external electric field. The staggered sublattice potential and two kinds of Rashba spin-orbit couplings can be induced by the external electric field due to the buckled structure of the silicene. A bulk gap is opened by the…
