Tunable Conformal Graphene Growth on Oxide Nanotube scaffolds: Towards Superwettable Hierarchical 2D-3D Architectures
Fernando Nunez Galvez, Muhammad Hamza, Johannes Berndt +7
Hierarchical hybrid nanoarchitectures that integrate vertically oriented graphene nanowalls, GNWs, with metal oxide, MeOx, nanotube scaffolds offer versatile platform for smart sur…
Ion mobility and segregation in seed surfaces subjected to cold plasma treatments
Alvaro Perea-Brenes, Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Francisco Yubero +5
Plasma treatment of seeds is an efficient procedure to accelerate germination, to improve initial stages of plant growth and for protection against pathogens infection. Most studie…
Mechanisms of de-icing by surface Rayleigh and plate Lamb acoustic waves
Shilpi Pandey, Jaime del Moral, Stefan Jacob +13
Acoustic waves (AW) have recently emerged as an energy-efficient ice removal procedure compatible with functional and industrial-relevant substrates. However, critical aspects at f…
Water-resistant hybrid perovskite solar cell -- drop triboelectric energy harvester
Fernando Nunez-Galvez, Xabier Garcia-Casas, Lidia Contreras Bernal +11
Hybrid energy-harvesting systems combining perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with drop-driven triboelectric nanogenerators (D-TENGs) provide continuous power under various weather cond…
Triboelectric Pixels as building blocks for microscale and large area integration of drop energy harvesters
Ali Ghaffarinejad, Xabier Garcia-Casas, Fernando Nunez-Galvez +6
The ultimate step towards the exploitation of water as a clean and renewable energy source addresses the energies stored in the low frequencies of liquid flows, which demands flexi…
Conformal TiO aerogel-like films by plasma deposition: from omniphobic antireflective coatings to perovskite solar cells photoelectrodes
Jose M. Obrero, Lidia Contreras-Bernal, Francisco J. Aparicio +12
The ability to control porosity in oxide thin films is one of the key factors that determine their properties. Despite the abundance of dry processes for the synthesis of oxide por…
