Plasmonic hot carrier devices extract excited carriers from metal nanostructures before equilibration and have the potential to surpass semiconductor light absorbers. However their efficiencies have so far remained well below theoretical limits, which nece ...

Copper is one of the most extensively studied materials for energy conversion and catalytic systems, with a wide range of other applications, from nanophotonics to biotechnology. However, existing synthesis methods are limited with many undesirable byprodu ...

The mitigation of climate change requires major transformations in the ways we generate energy and operate technologies that release carbon dioxide. Photonic concepts and novel light-driven technologies provide many potential solutions, transforming our cu ...

Bessel beams (BBs) are propagation-invariant optical fields that retain a narrow central intensity profile over longer propagation lengths than Gaussian beams (GBs). Due to this property, they have been adopted in fluorescence-based light sheet microscopy ...

This dataset accompanies the publication "Best practices in measuring absorption at the macro- and microscale" published in APL Photonics. The data can be used to reproduce original plots in figures 1-4 in the main text and all original plots in the suppor ...

Hydrogel-based thermoelectrochemical cells sustain large temperature gradients under passive cooling, producing up to 35 mW m−2 and a 3.5 mV K−1 Seebeck response. They are robust across orientations, enabling scalable waste-heat recovery. ...

Optical filters that respond to the wavelength and direction of incident light can be used to increase the efficiency of tracking solar cells. However, as tracking solar cells are more expensive to install and maintain, it is likely that nontracking solar ...

Harnessing photoexcited “hot” carriers in metallic nanostructures could define a new phase of non-equilibrium optoelectronics for photodetection and photocatalysis. Surface plasmons are considered pivotal for enabling efficient operation of hot carrier dev ...

The fraction of light absorbed in a material is a key parameter for a wide range of optoelectronic and energy devices, including solar cells, light emitting diodes, and photo(electro)chemical devices. It can reveal detailed performance information and esta ...

2D van der Waals heterojunctions (vdWH) have emerged as an attractive platform for the realization of optoelectronic synaptic devices, which are critical for energy-efficient computing systems. Photogating induced by charge traps at the interfaces indeed r ...

Scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM) has become an essential tool to study polaritons—quasiparticles of light coupled to collective charge oscillations—via direct probing of their near field with a spatial resolution far beyond t ...

Evidence from cross-sectional electron microscopy has previously shown that Se passivates defects in CdSexTe1−x solar cells, and that this is the reason for better lifetimes and voltages in these devices. Here, we utilise spatially resolved photoluminescen ...

Thermonanophotonics, that is the study of photothermal effects in optical nanoantennas, has recently attracted growing interest. In particular, going beyond thermoplasmonic designs, thermo-optical modulation of dielectric nanoantennas opens new opportuniti ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) emit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence that is ideal for optical sensing. However, the low quantum yields diminish the sensor’s signal-to-noise ratio and limits the penetration depths for in vivo measurements. In this ...

Solar redox flow batteries (SRFB) have attracted increasing interest for simultaneous capture and storage of solar energy by integrating a photoelectrochemical cell with a redox flow battery. Herein, a scalable, nanostructured α-Fe2O3 photoanode exhibiting ...

The use of nanoplasmonics to control light and heat close to the thermodynamic limit enables exciting opportunities in the field of plasmonic catalysis. The decay of plasmonic excitations creates highly nonequilibriumdistributions of hot carriers that can ...
