Tuning Stainless Steel Oxide Layers through Potential Cycling─AEM Water Electrolysis Free of Critical Raw Materials

Mounir Driss Mensi

Anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) have an intrinsic advantage over acidic proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers through their ability to use inexpensive, stable materials such as stainless steel (SS) to catalyze the sluggish oxyge ...

Enhanced performance of perovskite solar cell via up-conversion YLiF4:Yb, Er nanoparticles

Mounir Driss Mensi, Masaud Hassan S Almalki, Anwar Qasem M Alanazi

We report a simple and effective method for producing lanthanide ion-doped lithium-fluoride-based nanocrystals (YLiF4). We utilized those nanoparticles for up-conversion in fabricated perovskite solar cells. The obtained results shows that the up-conversio ...

Near-field scanning optical microscopy using polymethylmethacrylate optical fiber probes

Giovanni Dietler, Mounir Driss Mensi, Serguei Sekatski, Kanat Dukenbayev

We report the first use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) optical fiber-made probes for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The sharp tips were prepared by chemical etching of the fibers in ethyl acetate, and the probes were prepared by proper gl ...
