TL;DR: The bioinspired electrode addresses the one major challenge of artificial photosynthesis, namely efficient water oxidation, which brings us closer to being able to power the planet with carbon-free fuels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study catalyst support interactions during chemical vapor deposition of carbon nanotubes by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy over a wide range of pressures and observe Fe 2+ and 3+ interface states for metallic Fe on Al2O3 in the absence of measurable Al reduction.

TL;DR: It is shown that residual contaminants in purified single-wall carbon nanotube bundles may be responsible for the reported sensitivity of the electronic and transport properties to oxygen, and a strong sensitivity to NO(2, SO(2), and NH(3) is observed, confirming the possible application of single- wall nanotubes as powerful sensors capable of measuring environmentally significant levels of toxic gases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the possible application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as chemiresistor and field effect transistor chemical sensors, and understand the key facts emerging from the literature that seem to demonstrate the high sensitivity of CNTs to several molecular species, with the effort to catch the results in a correct manner.
