Oxygen evolution reaction catalyzed by first-row transition metal oxides: stability and mechanism

Aliki Moysiadou

Water splitting offers the opportunity for storing solar energy and, thus, producing carbon-neutral and renewable solar fuels. The process, known as artificial photosynthesis, is limited by the electrocatalytic conversion of water into molecular oxygen. El ...

Localized holes and delocalized electrons in photoexcited inorganic perovskites: Watching each atomic actor by picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Gloria Capano, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Andre Al Haddad, Dominik Kinschel, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Jakob Grilj, Fabio Giacomo Santomauro, James Michael Budarz

We report on an element-selective study of the fate of charge carriers in photoexcited inorganic CsPbBr3 and CsPb(ClBr)(3) perovskite nanocrystals in toluene solutions using time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy with 80 ps time resolution. Probing th ...

Study of the Ne(3P2) + CH3F Electron-Transfer Reaction below 1 K

Andreas Osterwalder, Justinas Jankunas, Benjamin Bertsche

Relatively little is known about the dynamics of electron-transfer reactions at low collision energy. We present a study of Penning ionization of ground-state methyl fluoride molecules by electronically excited neon atoms in the 13 μeV–4.8 meV (150 mK–56 K ...

Amplification in epitaxially grown Er:(Gd, LU)(2)O-3 waveguides for active integrated optical devices

Yury Kuzminykh, Sebastian Heinrich

Monocrystalline lattice matched Er(0.6 at. %): (Gd, LU)(2)O-3 films with nearly atomically flat surfaces and thicknesses up to 3 Am have been grown on Y2O3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The emission cross sections were comparable with the ones ...

Fibronectin adsorption on tantalum: The influence of nanoroughness

Kristian Rechendorff

The complex mechanisms of protein adsorption at the solid-liquid interface is of great importance in many research areas, including protein purification, biocompatibility of medical implants, biosensing, and biofouling. The protein adsorption process depen ...

Electrode and chemical reactions during electrodeposition of tantalum products in CsCl melt

Alla Arakcheeva

This work was accomplished in the context of systematic examination of a role played by electrolyte cation composition in electroreduction processes. The electrochemical behaviour of molten salts systems where CsCl was used as solvent for potassium and cae ...
