Grafting of Alkali Metals on Fumed Silica for the Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Methanol to Formaldehyde

Oliver Kröcher, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Christophe Jean Baranowski

Water free, non-oxidative catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde is an important process for the formation of anhydrous, molecular formaldehyde (FA). Sodium or sodium-containing salts were shown to catalyze the reaction, but their reaction m ...

Probing Alloy Formation Using Different Excitonic Species: The Particular Case of InGaN

Nicolas Grandjean, Raphaël Butté, Gordon Jens Callsen

Since the early 1960s, alloys are commonly grouped into two classes that feature either bound states in the band gap (I) or additional, nondiscrete band states (II). Consequently, one can observe either excitons bound to isoelectronic impurities or the typ ...

Incorporation of rubidium cations into perovskite solar cells improves photovoltaic performance

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Michael Saliba, Antonio Abate, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Konrad Domanski, Jiyoun Seo, Amita Ummadisingu

All of the cations currently used in perovskite solar cells abide by the tolerance factor for incorporation into the lattice. We show that the small and oxidation-stable rubidium cation (Rb+) can be embedded into a "cation cascade" to create perovskite mat ...
