Noble metal-free two dimensional carbon-based electrocatalysts for water splitting
Tập 1 - Trang 1-26 - 2019
Noble metal materials are widely employed as benchmark electrocatalysts to achieve electrochemical water splitting which comprises of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the high cost and scarcity limit the wide ranging commercial applications of noble metal-based catalysts. Development of noble metal-free two dimensional (2D) carbon-based materials can ......
Multifunctional magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles: diverse synthetic approaches, surface modifications, cytotoxicity towards biomedical and industrial applications
Tập 1 - Trang 1-22 - 2019
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) play a major role in the emerging fields of nanotechnology to facilitate rapid advancements in biomedical and industrial platforms. The superparamagnetic properties of MIONPs and their environment friendly synthetic methods with well-defined particle size have become indispensable to obtain their full potential in a variety of applications ranging from ce......
Recent advances in ion sensing with conducting polymers
Tập 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2019
Ions are present throughout our environment—from biological systems to agriculture and beyond. Many important processes and mechanisms are driven by their presence and their relative concentration. In order to study, understand and/or control these, it is important to know what ions are present and in what concentration—highlighting the importance of ion sensing. Materials that show specific ion i......
An intimate view into the silica deposition vesicles of diatoms
Tập 2 - Trang 1-15 - 2020
Diatoms are single-celled microalgae that produce silica-based cell walls with intricate nano- and micropatterns. Biogenesis of diatom biosilica is a bottom-up process that occurs in large intracellular compartments termed silica deposition vesicles (SDVs). Investigating the mechanisms of silica morphogenesis has so far been severely limited by the lack of methods for imaging the entire volume of ......
Multi-scale X-ray tomography and machine learning algorithms to study MoNi4 electrocatalysts anchored on MoO2 cuboids aligned on Ni foam
Tập 2 - Trang 1-14 - 2020
For a systematic materials selection and for design and synthesis of systems for electrochemical energy conversion with specific properties, it is essential to clarify the general relationship between physicochemical properties of the materials and the electrocatalytic performance and stability of the system or device. The design of highly performant and durable 3D electrocatalysts requires an opt......
Supercapacitors with alternating current line-filtering performance
Tập 2 - Trang 1-20 - 2020
Alternating current (AC) line filters have been widely used to smooth the leftover AC ripples on direct current voltage. Currently available commercial aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AECs) are primarily used for this application. However, the bulky volume and low capacitance of AECs have become incompatible with the rapidly developed intelligent electronic devices and industry dynamics. Superca......

Addressing the worldwide shortages of face masks
Tập 2 - Trang 1-11 - 2020
The year 2020 will be punctuated by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the history of human civilization. Within four months, COVID-19 has become a public healthcare crisis in all nations around the world. Until a suitable vaccine is found and made widely available, the immediate solutions to protect individuals and to control the spread of the pandemic include wearing a face mask, maintaining......
