Transmission electron microscopy of thiol-capped Au clusters on C: Structure and electron irradiation effects
(Elsevier, 2015)
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy is used to study interactions between thiol-capped Au clusters and amorphous C support films. The morphologies of the clusters are found to depend both on their size and on ...
Article
Design and realization of transparent solar modules based on luminescent solar concentrators integrating nanostructured photonic crystals
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)
Herein, we present a prototype of a photovoltaic module that combines a luminescent solar concentrator integrating one-dimensional photonic crystals and in-plane CuInGaSe2 (CIGS) solar cells. Highly uniform and wide-area ...

CO oxidation: effect of Ce and Au addition on MnOx catalysts
(Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (Argentina) Universidad Nacional del Sur (Argentina), 2012)
The effect of cerium and/or gold addition to a manganese oxide which was greatly active in CO oxidation was studied. The catalysts obtained by this way were characterized by N2 adsorption, XRF, XRD and TPR, and their ...

STEM-in-SEM high resolution imaging of gold nanoparticles and bivalve tissues in bioaccumulation experiments
(Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain), 2015)
The methodology termed scanning transmission electron microscopy in scanning electron microscopy (STEM-in-SEM) has been used in this work to study the uptake of citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) (average particle ...

Integration of Photonic Crystals into Flexible Dye Solar Cells: A Route toward Bendable and Adaptable Optoelectronic Devices Displaying Structural Color and Enhanced Efficiency
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
Herein is presented what is believed to be the fi rst example of integration of photonic structures in a fl exible optoelectronic device. The resulting devices may be designed to display any color in the visible range and, ...

Influence of temperature and time on the Eu3+ reaction with synthetic Na-Mica-n (n = 2 and 4)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Bentonite is accepted as the best clay material for the engineered barrier of Deep Geological Repositories (DGRs). The performance of clay as the main component of the engineered barrier in the DGR has been intensively ...

Synthesis and Functionalization of Monodisperse Near-ultraviolet and Visible Excitable Multifunctional Eu3+, Bi3+:REVO4 Nanophosphors for Bioimaging and Biosensing Applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain), 2016)
Near-ultraviolet and visible excitable Eu- and Bi-doped NPs based on rare earth vanadates (REVO4, RE = Y, Gd) have been synthesized by a facile route from appropriate RE precursors, europium and bismuth nitrate, and sodium ...

Removing the effects of the “dark matter” in tomography
(Elsevier, 2015)
Electron tomography (ET) using different imaging modes has been progressively consolidating its position as a key tool in materials science. The fidelity of a tomographic reconstruction, or tomogram, is affected by several ...
Article
Influence of the preparation method in the metal-support interaction and reducibility of Ni-Mg-Al based catalysts for methane steam reforming
(Elsevier, 2019)
Ni-Mg-Al based catalysts were prepared using different preparation methods (impregnation, impregnation-coprecipitation and coprecipitation) and tested in steam reforming of methane. The differences observed in catalytic ...
Article
Synthesis, characterization and performance of robust poison-resistant ultrathin film yttria stabilized zirconia – nickel anodes for application in solid electrolyte fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2016)
We report on the synthesis of undoped ∼5 μm YSZ-Ni porous thin films prepared by reactive pulsed DC magnetron sputtering at an oblique angle of incidence. Pre-calcination of the amorphous unmodified precursor layers followed ...
