Molecular tunability of surface-functionalized metal nanocrystals for selective electrochemical CO2 reduction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Mounir Driss Mensi, James Richard Pankhurst, Yannick Thomas Guntern

Organic ligands are used in homogeneous catalysis to tune the metal center reactivity; in contrast, clean surfaces are usually preferred in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of a molecular chemistry approach to develop efficient ...

Molecular Engineering Strategies for Morphology Control in Organic Semiconductors for Optoelectronics

Muhammad Aiman Bin Rahmanudin Hamdan

It is understood that the optoelectronic performance of organic electronic devices is determinant on the macroscopic solid state self-assembly of organic semiconductors (OSC), which is driven by the supramolecular Ï -Ï stacking interactions between the co ...

Innovative TEM-coupled approaches to study foraminiferal cells

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Emmanuelle Geslin, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation has revealed much about the basic cell biology of foraminifera. Yet, there remains much we do not know about foraminiferal cytology and physiology, especially for smaller benthic foraminifera, which inhabi ...

Peptide-based coatings for flexible implantable neural interfaces

Silvestro Micera

In the last decade, the use of flexible biosensors for neuroprosthetic and translational applications has widely increased. Among them, the polyimide (PI)-based thin-film electrodes got a large popularity. However, the usability of these devices is still h ...

Charge migration and charge transfer in molecular systems

Ursula Röthlisberger, Majed Chergui, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Andrea Cannizzo, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Natalie Renuka Banerji, Elisa Liberatore, Pablo Lopez Tarifa

The transfer of charge at the molecular level plays a fundamental role in many areas of chemistry, physics, biology and materials science. Today, more than 60 years after the seminal work of R. A. Marcus, charge transfer is still a very active field of res ...

Allelopathic Activity of the Iron Chelator Anachelin-A Molecular Hybrid with a Dual Mode of Action

Karl Gademann

One of the compounds suggested to be responsible for the cyanobacterial dominance over competing green algae is identified. Evidence is provided on the molecular, chemical level that the iron chelator anachelin from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica p ...

Minimizing Density Functional Failures for Non-covalent Interactions beyond van der Waals Complexes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf

Kohn-Sham density functional theory offers a powerful and robust formalism for investigating the electronic structure of many-body systems while providing a practical balance of accuracy and computational cost unmatched by other methods. Despite this succe ...
