3D to 2D reorganization of silver-thiol nanostructures, triggered by solvent vapor annealing

Metal-organic composites are of great interest for a wide range of applications. The control of their structure remains a challenge, one of the problems being a complex interplay of covalent and supramolecular interactions. This paper describes the self-as ...

Energy and Charge Transfer Cascade in Methylammonium Lead Bromide Perovskite Nanoparticle Aggregates

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban, Andrés Burgos Caminal, Rachele Ossola

Highly photoluminescent hybrid lead halide perovskite nanoparticles have recently attracted a wide interest in the context of high-stake applications, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), light emitting transistors and lasers. In addition, they constitute ...

Novel manufacturing methods for optical antennas : controlling light down to the single nanometer scale

Valentin Flauraud

The resonant excitation of free electrons in metallic nanostructures enables extreme near field intensities along with a deep sub-wavelength localization of the electromagnetic energy. This has been exploited to enhance light-matter interaction down to the ...

Biocompatible Amphiphilic Hydrogel–Solid Dimer Particles as Colloidal Surfactants

Jing Fan, Esther Amstad

Emulsions of two immiscible liquids can slowly coalesce over time when stabilized by surfactant molecules. Pickering emulsions stabilized by colloidal particles can be much more stable. Here, we fabricate biocompatible amphiphilic dimer particles using a h ...

Cellulose Nanocrystals with Tethered Polymer Chains: Chemically Patchy versus Uniform Decoration

Alke Fink, Harm-Anton Klok, Théo Gaston Gérard Lachat, Justin Orazio Zoppe, Alix Vaimiti Marie Dupire

The site-specific surface modification of colloidal substrates, yielding "patchy" nanoparticles, is a rapidly expanding area of research as a result of the new complex structural hierarchies that are becoming accessible to chemists and materials scientists ...

Nanoscale topographical control of capillary assembly of nanoparticles

Jürgen Brugger, Olivier Martin, Valentin Flauraud, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Massimo Mastrangeli, Elmira Shahrabi, Gabriel David Bernasconi, Jérémy Butet

Predetermined and selective placement of nanoparticles onto large-area substrates with nanometre-scale precision is essential to harness the unique properties of nanoparticle assemblies, in particular for functional optical and electro-optical nanodevices. ...

Assemblies of gold nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interfaces : from liquid optics to electrocatalysis

Evgeny Smirnov

The interface between two immiscible liquids, i.e. oil and water, is an extremely attractive scaffold to self-assemble nanoparticles (NP) in arranged films. The liquid-liquid interfaces (LLIs) are defect-free and pristine by the nature, they are transparen ...

Scaling for hard-sphere colloidal glasses near jamming

Eric DeGiuli

Hard-sphere colloids are model systems in which to study the glass transition and universal properties of amorphous solids. Using covariance matrix analysis to determine the vibrational modes, we experimentally measure here the scaling behavior of the dens ...

Tailoring Copper Nanocrystals towards C-2 Products in Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Esmail Kamali Ardekani, Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice

Favoring the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) over the hydrogen evolution reaction and controlling the selectivity towards multicarbon products are currently major scientific challenges in sustainable energy research. It is known that the morphology of the c ...
