Inverse design for Casimir-Lifshitz force near heterogeneous gapped metal surface
M. Boström, S. Pal, H. R. Gopidi +4
The Casimir-Lifshitz force is calculated between a heterogeneous gapped metal surface and a silica sphere attached to an AFM cantilever tip. We demonstrate that heterogeneous surfa…
Cove-edged Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons with Chirality-Dependent Bandgap and Carrier Mobility
K. Liu, W. Zheng, S. Osella +13
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have garnered significant interest due to their highly customizable physicochemical properties and potential utility in nanoelectronics. Besides control…
Mixed Fe-Mo carbide prepared by a sonochemical synthesis as highly efficient nitrate reduction electrocatalyst
Jiajun Hu, Silvio Osella, Eduardo Arizono dos Reis +5
Ammonia, a versatile compound that can be used as a fertilizer, chemical or fuel, has since long been produced through the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process. Recently, the elect…
Unravelling the influence of shell thickness in organic functionalized Cu2O nanoparticles on C2+ products distribution in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction
Jiajun Hu, Silvio Osella, Josep Albero +1
Cu-based electrocatalysts exhibits enormous potential for electrochemical CO2 conversion to added-value products. However, high selectivity, specially towards C2+ products, remains…
Generalized Polarization and time-resolved fluorescence provide evidence for different populations of Laurdan in lipid vesicles
M. Bacalum, M. Radu, S. Osella +2
The solvatochromic dye Laurdan is widely used in sensing the lipid packing of both model and biological membranes. The fluorescence emission maximum shifts from about 440 nm (blue…
2D Layered Heterojunctions for Photoelectrocatalysis
Mengjiao Wang, Michal Langer, Roberto Altieri +3
Two-dimensional (2D) layered nanomaterials heterostructures, arising from the combination of 2D materials with other low-dimensional species, feature large surface area to volume r…
