Conductive polydopamines represent bioinspired paradigm catalysts for efficiently recycling greenhouse gas CO 2 to synthetic fuel.
Conductive polymers represent a rare case in which free‐carrier absorption is shifted to the far‐infrared—an attractive advantage light of requirement highly transparent conductors across visible and near‐infrared. Unfortunately, prior approaches doping these polymers—imperative for high conductance—have consistently led strong localization arising from fluctuating band alignment among polymer chains. Here, this study overcomes problem doping‐induced Anderson first time by developing new...
Abstract The most active and efficient catalysts for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) rely on platinum, a fact that increases cost of producing thereby limits widespread adoption this fuel. Here, metal‐free organic electrocatalyst mimics platinum surface by implementing high work function incorporating hydrogen‐affine bonds is introduced. These motifs, inspired from enzymology, are deployed here as selective centres. It shown keto‐amine hydrogen‐bond motif enhances...
Abstract Electrochemical hydrogen storage combines the evolution, oxidation, and of hydrides from aqueous electrolytes ionic liquids, but presently requires palladium or rare‐earth metals to achieve significant power capacities. Here electrosorption in amine‐activated polydopamine is shown. The organic heterogeneous amine‐hydride yields a gravimetric density 0.44%, corresponding 80% hydride‐per‐monomer content, offers similar reaction kinetics as for related systems. An initial stability...
We set out to demonstrate the development of a highly conductive polymer based on poly-(3,4-ethylenedithia thiophene) (PEDTT), PEDOTs structural analogue historically notorious for disorder and limited conductivities. The caveat therein was previously described lie in intra-molecular repulsions. how tremendous >2600-fold improvement conductivity metallic features, such as magnetoconductivity can be achieved. This is achieved through careful choice counter-ion (sulphate) use oxidative...
