We report a specially designed alkaline polymer electrolyte (APE) with extraordinary stability in both physical and chemical properties, which enables applications of fuel cells and electrolysis at elevated temperatures....
Mesoporous tungsten carbides displayed an excellent solar conversion efficiency (7.01%) as a counter electrode for dye sensitized solar cells under 100 mW cm(-2), AM 1.5G illumination, which corresponded to ca. 85% of th...
Fine shape-control of gold nanoparticles was achieved in the presence of an amphiphilic polythiophene with an isothiouronium pendant, by varying the experimental conditions for the crystallization; we succeeded to prepar...
We describe the synthesis of single-crystalline Pt nanocubes with a large diameter (around 35 nm) using a solvent-thermal reaction in a polarity-controlled mixture of 1-butanol, toluene, and N,N-dimethylformamide at 185 ...
A facile route to fabricate a protein-immobilized network pattern circuit for rapid and highly sensitive diagnosis was developed via the evaporation directed impromptu patterning method and selective avian influenza viru...
A novel 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) with 2D rhombic channels was synthesized for selective adsorption of p-xylene from xylene isomers by acting as a molecular sieve.
Here we describe a simple method that allows for rapid and easy sequence determination of cyclic peptoids. The key idea in this strategy is a post-screening "ring-opening" reaction to convert cyclic peptoids selected fro...
A bis-diphosphine nickel complex with tert-butyl functionalized pendant amines [Ni(P(Cy)2N(2)(t-Bu))(2)](2+) has been synthesized. It is a highly active electrocatalyst for the oxidation of hydrogen in the presence of ba...
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) over a carbonaceous catalyst (1) with a phosphinate (>P(=O)OH) moiety was explored computationally. Under the acidic environment of a fuel cell, 1 could be active for ORR and be converted ...
