ConspectusPhotovoltaics (PVs) are currently the most economical and location-independent source of electricity generation, and their demand is growing rapidly as a sustainable renewable energy source.

With the commercialization of lithium-ion battery (LIB) powered electric vehicles, they have been recognized as an important green technology due to the merit of zero CO2 emissions to mitigate global ...

Although transition metals constitute less than 0.1% of the total mass within a human body, they have a substantial impact on fundamental biological processes across all kingdoms of life. Indeed, ...

Plantago asiatica L. has been used as a vegetable and nutritious food in Asia for thousands of years. According to recent phytochemical and pharmacological research, the active compositions of the ...

The development and optimization of promising anode material for next-generation alkali metal ion batteries are significant for clean energy evolution. 2D MXenes have drawn extensive attention in ...

The surface activity of ten atmospherically relevant α-pinene-derived dimers having varying terminal functional groups and backbone stereochemistry is reported. We find ∼10% differences in surface ...

Interest in optical materials for biomedical imaging and sensing applications has grown significantly in recent decades. Among a variety of material choices, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) ...

A liquid drop resting on a soft solid deforms the surface at the three-phase contact line. The surface deformation, also called “wetting ridge”, varies in size from nanoscales to microscales, ...

The Butler–Volmer (BV) equation links the current flux crossing an electrochemical interface to the electric potential drop across it with the assumption of Arrhenius kinetics and the Boltzmann factor ...

An electrochemically controlled synthesis of multiblock copolymers by alternating the redox states of (salfan)Zr(OtBu)2 (salfan = 1,1′-di(2-tert-butyl-6-N-methylmethylenephenoxy)ferrocene) is reported ...

Covalent grafting of dielectric films containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) on the surface of Cu(111) is performed by a one-step electrochemical reduction of diazonium salts. This ...
