Trace chloride alters gold surface chemistry by forming a short-lived covalent layer of chloride ions on gold atoms.

Zeta potential is a key indicator of the stability of colloidal dispersions and nanoparticle suspensions. It measures the electrical potential difference between the bulk of the liquid and the ...

Perovskites—a class of compounds with a unique ABX3 structure and high temperature stability—are promising materials for ...

Noble metals, such as gold and platinum, show great potential in renewable energy. Very tiny pieces of noble metals, known as nanoparticles, can increase the rate of a chemical reaction within ...

A recent study has shown that a fraction obtained from lignin, an organic polymer responsible for the rigidity of plant cell walls, was able to improve the performance of nanoparticles with herbicide.

Researchers design a solar harvester with enhanced energy conversion capabilities. The device employs a quasiperiodic nanoscale pattern, meaning most of it is an alternating and consistent pattern, ...

As drug-resistant infections continue to rise, researchers are looking for new antimicrobial strategies that are both ...

Using DNA structures as scaffolds, scientists hae shown that precisely positioned gold nanoparticles can serve as efficient energy transmitters. Using DNA structures as scaffolds, Tim Liedl, a ...

A new study showcases a catalyst made from lignin, a plant-based waste material, that dramatically improves a key step in water electrolysis. Researchers have introduced a new type of catalyst made ...
