Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Electrons’ Spin Eliminates Hydrogen Peroxide Formation During Water Splitting
Wilbert Mtangi,Francesco Tassinari,Kiran Vankayala,Andreas Vargas Jentzsch,Beatrice Adelizzi,Anja R. A. Palmans,Claudio Fontanesi,E. W. Meijer,Ron Naaman +8 more
TL;DR: This work imposes spin-selectivity by coating the anode with chiral organic semiconductors from helically aggregated dyes as sensitizers; Zn-porphyrins and triarylamines, contributing to the understanding of the underlying mechanism of spin selectivity in multiple electron-transfer reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin-dependent electron transmission through bacteriorhodopsin embedded in purple membrane
Debabrata Mishra,Tal Z. Markus,Ron Naaman,Matthias Kettner,Benjamin Göhler,Helmut Zacharias,Noga Friedman,Mordechai Sheves,Claudio Fontanesi +8 more
TL;DR: clear evidence for spin-dependent electron transmission through this system and a strong dependence of the conduction on the protein’s structure point to the possibility that the effect may play a role in electron transfer in biological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin Filtering in Electron Transport Through Chiral Oligopeptides
Matthias Kettner,Benjamin Göhler,Helmut Zacharias,Debabrata Mishra,Vankayala Kiran,Ron Naaman,Claudio Fontanesi,David H. Waldeck,Slawomir Sek,Jan Pawlowski,Joanna Juhaniewicz +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of spin selectivity on the molecular length is measured in an electrochemical cell for bound electrons and in a photoemission spectrometer for photoelectrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the Electron Spin Polarization in Water Splitting
TL;DR: It is shown that in an electrochemical cell, in which the photoanode is coated with chiral molecules, the overpotential required for hydrogen production drops remarkably, as compared with cells containing achiral molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin-Dependent Transport through Chiral Molecules Studied by Spin-Dependent Electrochemistry
TL;DR: Chirality-induced spin polarization, when combined with light and magnetic field effects, opens new avenues for the study of the spin transport properties of chiral molecules and biomolecules and for creating new types of spintronic devices in which light and molecular chirality provide new functions and properties.
