Chemistry and Electrocatalytic Activity of Nanostructured Nickel Electrodes for Water Electrolysis
Herein we have developed nanostructured nickel-based electrode films for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). The electrodes were prepared by magnetron sputtering (MS) in an oblique angle configuration and under various conditions aimed at preparing...
Evidence for Genuine Bimetallic Frustrated Lewis Pair Activation of Dihydrogen with Gold(I)/Platinum(0) Systems
A joint experimental/computational effort to elucidate the mechanism of dihydrogen activation by a gold(I)/platinum(0) metal-only frustrated Lewis pairs is described herein. We have also investigated the drastic effects on H2 activation derived from subtle ligand...
Robust label-free CuxCoyOz electrochemical sensors for hexose detection during fermentation process monitoring.
Label free electrochemical sensors of glucose are used whenever long-term operation and stable response are required. For this purpose, various metals and oxides of the first transition series have been proposed as alternative to more expensive noble metal...
Trehalose-based Siamese twin amphiphiles with tunable self- assembling, DNA nanocomplexing and gene delivery properties
An original family of multivalent vectors encompassing gemini and facial amphiphilicity, namely cationic Siamese twin surfactants, has been prepared from the disaccharide trehalose; molecular engineering lets us modulate the self-assembling properties and the topology...
