Oxidation-Resistant Gold-55 Clusters

TL;DR: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed a maximum oxidation resistance for “magic-number” clusters containing 55 gold atoms, which suggests that gold-55 clusters may act as especially effective oxidation catalysts, such as for oxidizing carbon monoxide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the toxicity of Pb- and Sn-based perovskite solar cells in model organism Danio rerio

TL;DR: A case study with systematic comparison regarding the environmental impact of Pb- and Sn-based perovskites, using zebrafish (Danio Rerio) as model organism is provided and it is shown that Sn basedperovskite may not be the ideal Pb surrogate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanostructured surfaces from size-selected clusters.

TL;DR: The deposition of ionized beams of size-selected atomic clusters onto well-defined substrates represents a new method of preparing nanostructured surfaces, with lateral feature sizes in the range 1–10 nm, and advances in diblock copolymer techniques allow the preparation of ordered two-dimensional arrays of clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micellar Nanoreactors—Preparation and Characterization of Hexagonally Ordered Arrays of Metallic Nanodots†

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of hexagonally ordered metallic nanodots was studied in detail with emphasis on the chemical state of the resulting particles, where the reverse micelles themselves are capable of ligating defined amounts of a metal salt within their cores, acting as nanoreactors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of iron–silicon interaction on the growth of carbon nanotubes produced by chemical vapor deposition

TL;DR: In this paper, a thin layer of dense titanium nitride between the silicon substrate and the iron catalyst effectively prevents the formation of the silicide phase and consequently improves the carbon nanotubes growth.
