Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of Free-Standing Nanoscale Alumina Membranes with Controllable Pore Aspect Ratios
TL;DR: Porous alumina films with controllable pore sizes and having submicrometer film thicknesses were fabricated by the anodization of Al overlayers as mentioned in this paper, where the Al was deposited by sputtering onto either glass or onto silicon that had been coated with a layer of silicon nitride.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing electronic/ionic conducting membranes for artificial photosynthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the figures of merit for conducting membranes in artificial photosynthetic systems and describe an electronically and ionically conducting polymer composite with attractive performance characteristics, which is used in artificial photo-synthetic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heck coupling of olefins to mixed methyl/thienyl monolayers on Si(111) surfaces.
Leslie E. O'Leary,Michael J. Rose,Tina X. Ding,Erik Johansson,Bruce S. Brunschwig,Nathan S. Lewis +5 more
TL;DR: The Heck reaction has been used to couple olefins to a Si(111) surface that was functionalized with a mixed monolayer comprised of methyl and thienyl groups, indicating that high-quality surfaces could be produced by this multistep synthetic approach for tethering small molecules to silicon photoelectrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the ability to predict human percepts of odor quality from the detector responses of a conducting polymer composite-based electronic nose
TL;DR: The responses of a conducting polymer composite “electronic nose” detector array were used to predict human perceptual descriptors of odor quality for a selected test set of analytes, and none of the models could accurately predict the human values for more than a few descriptors.

Electrical passivation of silicon-containing surfaces using organic layers
Nathan S. Lewis,William J. Royea +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an organic passivating layer is chemically bonded to a silicon-containing semiconductor material to improve the electrical properties of electrical devices, such as reduce dangling bonds, increase carrier lifetimes, decrease surface recombination velocities, increase electronic efficiencies, or the like.
