Journal ArticleDOI
A programmable soft chemo-mechanical actuator exploiting a catalyzed photochemical water-oxidation reaction
Peixi Yuan,Joselle M. McCracken,Dustin E. Gross,Paul V. Braun,Jeffrey S. Moore,Ralph G. Nuzzo +5 more
TL;DR: A thermodynamic analysis of the composite hydrogel containing an embedding coupled chemistry for light-sensitized catalytic reactions that enables chemo-mechanical actuation of poly(acrylic acid)-based gels is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving Electrodeposition of Mg through an Open Circuit Potential Hold
Jennifer Esbenshade,Christopher J. Barile,Timothy T. Fister,Kimberly L. Bassett,Paul Fenter,Ralph G. Nuzzo,Andrew A. Gewirth +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an open circuit potential (OCP) pause following Mg deposition led to retained enhancement of Mg and stripping kinetics along with lowered overpotentials for both.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and spectroscopic studies of the nucleation and growth of copper thin films on polyimide surfaces by chemical vapor deposition
Noo Li Jeon,Ralph G. Nuzzo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the nucleation and growth of copper from pyromellitic dianhydride-oxydianiline (PMDA-ODA) polyimide has been studied with a variety of techniques, including reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectrography (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy(AFM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Megan Phelan,David R. Needell,Haley Bauser,Hanxiao Su,Michael G. Deceglie,San Theingi,Brent A. Koscher,Zach Nett,Colton R. Bukowsky,Ognjen Ilic,Paul Stradins,John F. Geisz,Ralph G. Nuzzo,A. Paul Alivisatos,A. Paul Alivisatos,Harry A. Atwater +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a tandem luminescent solar concentrator/Si multi-junction photovoltaic module is proposed, which consists of an InGaP microcell array coupled with a polymer waveguide, loaded with CdSe/CdS core-shell quantum dot luminophores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive Fabrication and the Mechanisms of Nucleation and Growth in Chemical Vapor Deposition Processes
TL;DR: This Account presents several representative studies of thin-film growth by chemical vapor deposition, with particular emphasis given to elucidating the mechanistic, energetic, and structural aspects of nucleation and growth.
