Surface Characterization of Colloidal Silica Nanoparticles by Second Harmonic Scattering: Quantifying the Surface Potential and Interfacial Water Order

Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks, Marie Bischoff

The microscopic description of the interface of colloidal particles in solution is essential to understand and predict the stability of these systems, as well as their chemical and electrochemical reactivity. However, this description often relies on the u ...

Colloidal Size and Redox State of Uranium Species in the Porewater of a Pristine Mountain Wetland

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Manon Frutschi, Gabrielle Dublet, Ashley Richards Brown, Giada Chantal Zünd

Uranium (U) speciation was investigated in anoxically preserved porewater samples of a natural mountain wetland in Gola di Lago, Ticino, Switzerland. U porewater concentrations ranged from less than 1 mu g/L to tens of mu g/L, challenging the available ana ...

Specific Ion Effects at the Interface of Nanometer-Sized Droplets in Water: Structure and Stability

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Evangelia Zdrali

The interaction of ions with interfaces influences numerous processes in chemistry, physics, and biology, while different ion species behave differently at hydrophobic or hydrophilic interfaces. Despite its importance, ion specificity and its relation to s ...

Colloid transport and distribution in the hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry

Colloids moving from the stream into the hyporheic zone may have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems as they are potential contaminants or carriers of contaminants. Moreover, retained colloids in the hyporheic zone could not only reduce the exchange fl ...

Polyphenols as Morphogenetic Agents for the Controlled Synthesis of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Fabien Sorin, Jialuo Luo, René M. Rossi, Alina Osypova

Non-surfactant-induced synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) is gaining increasing interest because of their low toxicity and simple purification compared to conventional surfactant-based methods. Tannic acid (TA), considered as a glucose-de ...

On the diametric compression strength test of brittle spherical particles

Andreas Mortensen, Goran Zagar, Václav Pejchal

Diametric compression testing can be used to measure the hoop strength of spherical particles if one uses platens whose deformation behaviour is tailored in a way that allows the particles to sink sufficiently far into the platens before particle fracture ...

Electrochemical Dynamics of a Single Platinum Nanoparticle Collision Event for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Pekka Eero Peljo, Haiqiang Deng

Chronoamperometry was used to study the dynamics of Pt nanoparticle (NP) collision with an inert ultramicroelectrode via electrocatalytic amplification (ECA) towards hydrogen evolution reaction. First, ECA and dynamic light scattering (DLS) results reveal ...

Energy and Charge Transfer Cascade in Methylammonium Lead Bromide Perovskite Nanoparticle Aggregates

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban, Andrés Burgos Caminal, Rachele Ossola

Highly photoluminescent hybrid lead halide perovskite nanoparticles have recently attracted a wide interest in the context of high-stake applications, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), light emitting transistors and lasers. In addition, they constitute ...

Biocompatible Amphiphilic Hydrogel–Solid Dimer Particles as Colloidal Surfactants

Esther Amstad, Jing Fan

Emulsions of two immiscible liquids can slowly coalesce over time when stabilized by surfactant molecules. Pickering emulsions stabilized by colloidal particles can be much more stable. Here, we fabricate biocompatible amphiphilic dimer particles using a h ...

Investigation of polycrystalline ZnO film growth by quantitative TEM orientation mapping

Arthur Brian Aebersold

Polycrystalline chemical vapour deposited ZnO films are commonly used as transparent electrodes for photovoltaic devices. Over the past years much effort has been put into improving their properties. Even though these films are now well optimised for speci ...
