Room-temperature cavity exciton-polariton condensation in perovskite quantum dots
The exploitation of the strong light-matter coupling regime and exciton-polariton condensates has emerged as a compelling approach to introduce strong interactions and nonlinearities into numerous photonic applications. The use of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots...
An efficient strategy for simultaneous gold deposition and obtention of hierarchical Au/TS-1 applied to liquid-phase propylene epoxidation
A novel and straightforward one-step method has been developed for the controlled deposition of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with uniform diameters onto the titanosilicate (TS-1) zeolitic surface via a direct anionic exchange (DAE) approach. This innovative process...
Organic nanoparticles able to reach prostate tumours and release an effective amount of drugs
Researchers at the Institute for Chemical Research have developed two organic nanoparticles capable of specifically targeting prostate tumours and releasing an effective amount of drug to eliminate them. The results, published in the Journal of Controlled Release,...
Reversible Bimetallic Inhibition to Modulate Selectivity During Catalysis
Bimetallic complexes have demonstrated a great ability to enhance the activity of monometallic systems for bond activation and catalysis. In this work, we explore the opposite approach: using a second metal to passivate the activity of another by reversible bimetallic...
