Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Electrochemical Methanation of Carbon Dioxide with a Dispersible Nanoscale Copper Catalyst
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that copper nanoparticles supported on glassy carbon (n-Cu/C) achieve up to 4 times greater methanation current densities compared to high-purity copper foil electrodes, which represents a first step toward the preparation of practical meethanation catalysts that can be incorporated into membrane-electrode assemblies in electrolyzers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-dimensional nanoparticle arrays show the organizational power of robust DNA motifs.
Jiwen Zheng,Pamela E. Constantinou,Christine M. Micheel,A. Paul Alivisatos,Richard A. Kiehl,Nadrian C. Seeman +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, robust three-space-spanning DNA motifs are used to organize nanoparticles in two dimensions, using two of the directions of the motif to produce a two-dimensional crystalline array, one direction is free to bind gold nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small-molecule-directed nanoparticle assembly towards stimuli-responsive nanocomposites

TL;DR: A simple yet versatile approach to produce stimuli-responsive hierarchical assemblies of readily available nanoparticles by combining small molecules and block copolymers is demonstrated, thereby enabling a non-disruptive approach for the generation of functional devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photovoltaic devices employing ternary PbSxSe1-x nanocrystals.
TL;DR: Crystalline, monodisperse alloyed nanocrystals are obtained using a one-pot, hot injection reaction and Rutherford back scattering and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy suggest that the S and Se anions are uniformly distributed in the alloy nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical properties of ZnO/ZnS and ZnO/ZnTe heterostructures for photovoltaic applications.
TL;DR: It is proposed that ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanowires can be used as photovoltaic devices with organic polymer semiconductors as p-channel contacts with band-corrected pseudopotential density functional theory calculations.
