We introduce new hole-selective contacts for next-generation perovskite photovoltaics and point to design paths molecular engineering of perfect interfaces.
Comparison of conventional and newly developed laccase-based electrocatalytic systems for oxygen reduction.
Noble metal nanoparticles, specifically gold and silver, are extensively utilized in sensors, catalysts, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), optical-electronic components due to their unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties. The production of these nanoparticles involves various methods, but among the environmentally friendly approaches, laser ablation stands out as it eliminates need for toxic chemicals during purification. However, nanoparticle aggregation poses...
The interaction between organic molecules and nanomaterials leads to complexation or the functionalization of later modification their properties, which are promising for electronics, terahertz technology, photonics, medical imaging, drug delivery, other applications. Based on theoretical experimental (THz, Raman, fluorescence spectroscopy) studies, we analyzed main spectroscopic characteristics a weakly bound van der Waals complex trans-stilbene (TS) molecule hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)....
In the present research, graphene was synthesized directly on a Si(100) substrate via combining direct microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and protective enclosure. The flake orientation controlled using suitable synthesis conditions. We revealed that high processing temperatures plasma powers promote vertical growth. main related physical mechanisms were raised temperature gradients, thermal stress, ion bombardment, elevated electric field effects. Lowering power resulted in...
Improving the performance of kesterite solar cells requires high-quality, defect-free CZTS(Se) films with a reduced number secondary phases and impurities. Post-annealing CZTS at high temperatures in sulfur or selenium atmosphere is commonly used to improve quality absorbing material. However, annealing high-temperatures can promote material decomposition, mainly due loss volatile elements such as tin sulfur. In this work, we investigate how additional step sulfurization affects CZTSSe based...
Effects of amyloid beta (Aβ) oligomers on viability and function cell lines such as NB4 (human acute promyelocytic leukemia), A549 lung cancer (adenocarcinomic alveolar basal epithelial tumor)) MCF-7 breast (invasive ductal carcinoma)) were investigated. Two types Aβ used in the study. The first type was produced presence oligomerization inhibitor, hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). second amyloids assembled absence inhibitor. preparation predominantly populated with dimers trimers, while...
Bifunctional magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles that exhibit synergistically magnetic and plasmonic properties are advanced substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) because of their excellent controllability improved detection potentiality. In this study, composite (Fe3O4@AgNPs) were formed by mixing colloid solutions 50 nm-sized magnetite with 13 silver nanoparticles. After drying the layer Fe3O4@AgNPs under a strong field, they outperformed conventional during SERS...
Amphiphilic diblock copolymers containing a block of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) with unique properties to prevent nonspecific protein adsorption and enhance lubrication in aqueous media dopamine methacrylamide (DOPMA) distinguished by excellent adhesion performance were synthesized reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization for the first time. The DOPMA monomer an acetonide-protected catechol group (acetonide-protected (ADOPMA)) was used,...
Pulsed electric field (PEF) as a green processing technology is drawing greater attention due to its eco-friendliness and potential promote sustainable development goals. In this study, the effects of different strengths (EFS, 0-30 kV/cm) on structure physicochemical features casein micelles (CSMs) were investigated. It was found that particle sizes CSMs increased at low EFS (10 but decreased high (30 kV/cm). The absolute ζ-potential 30 kV/cm from -26.6 (native CSMs) -29.5 mV. Moreover, it...
