Tetrathiafulvalene-based molecular nanowires.

2008

A new molecular wire suitably functionalized with sulfur atoms at terminal positions and endowed with a central redox active TTF unit has been synthesized and inserted within two atomic-sized Au electrodes; electrical transport measurements have been performed in STM and MCBJ set-ups in a liquid environment and reveal conductance values around 10(-2) G0 for a single molecule.

Fuel Cell Performances of Bio-Membranes Made of Chitosan-Polyelectrolyte Thin Films and Nanowires into Anodic Alumina Membranes

2012

Chitosan (CS) / Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) polyelectrolytes in the shape of thin films and nanowires supported by Anodic Alumina Membranes (AAM) have been fabricated through solution cast and filtration techniques, respectively. Their ability to function in a H2/O2 fuel cell under mild conditions (room temperature, low humidity and low Pt loading) is proved for the first time. The fabricated membrane electrode assemblies produce power peaks of ~20 mW cm-2 for both films and nanowires. The CS/PTA films (20-40 μm thick) are able to produce a quite constant power density of ~10 mW cm-2 recorded for at least 7 h. The gradual decrease of the power output with time observed for CS/PTA nanowires i…

Struktūra un fotofizikālie procesi 0D un 1D InGaN kompozītu materiālos

2014

Šajā disertācijā tiek aprakstīti strukturālās un fotofizikālās MOCVD izaudzēto GaN nanovadu (NV) un InGaN kvantu punktu (KP) īpašības. Abos gadījumos ir parādīts, ka ex-situ RHEED mērījumi ir iespējami un sniedz kvalitatīvu informāciju par struktūru. Kombinācijā ar citām metodēm, pirmkārt, ir parādīts, ka nemetāliskā katalizatora veicinātā GaN NV īpašības, kad sintezēts uz GaN (0001) virsmas, atšķiras no tradicionāli iegūtajiem. Šinī gadījumā katalizators lokalizējas pie nanovadu pamatnes nevis tā galā un augšanas virziens ir atšķirīgs no kristalogrāfiskās c-ass, rezultātā iegūstot semipolārās NV struktūras. Otrkārt, InGaN kvantu punktos ir konstatēt saspiesta kristāliskā režģa struktūra au…

Individual Variability and Average Reliability in Parallel Networks of Heterogeneous Biological and Artificial Nanostructures

2013

We simulate the collective electrical response of heterogeneous ensembles of biological and artificial nanostructures whose individual threshold potentials show a significant variability. This problem is of current interest because nanotechnology is bound to produce nanostructures with a significant experimental variability in their individual physical properties. This diversity is also present in biological systems that are however able to process information efficiently. The nanostructures considered are the ion channels of biological membranes, nanowire field-effect transistors, and metallic nanoparticle-based single electron transistors. These systems are simulated with canonical models…

Three dimensional PEDOT nanowires network

2016

Abstract A three dimensional (3D) structure of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanowires have been prepared by electrochemical polymerization using 3D-alumina templates. The templates were synthesized by pulse anodization in an electrochemical bath. A 3D free standing network has been obtained after the template removal. The morphological analysis by electron microscopy shows the existence of a 3D PEDOT nanowires network whose nanowire diameter is around 20 nm for the vertical nanowires and 10 nm for the transversal connections. Electrical properties such as the I–V characteristics and the Seebeck coefficient were studied for the nanowires network. Also, the optical properties have…

Nanostructured Ni Based Anode and Cathode for Alkaline Water Electrolyzers

2019

Owing to the progressive abandoning of the fossil fuels and the increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration, the use of renewable energies is strongly encouraged. The hydrogen economy provides a very interesting scenario. In fact, hydrogen is a valuable energy carrier and can act as a storage medium as well to balance the discontinuity of the renewable sources. In order to exploit the potential of hydrogen it must be made available in adequate quantities and at an affordable price. Both goals can be potentially achieved through the electrochemical water splitting, which is an environmentally friendly process as well as the electrons and water are the only reagents. However, these devices stil…

Influence Of The Electrical Parameters On The Fabrication Of Copper Nanowires Into Anodic Alumina Templates

2009

Abstract Metallic copper nanowires have been grown into the pores of alumina membranes by electrodeposition from an aqueous solution containing CuSO 4 . and H 3 BO 3 at pH 3. In order to study the influence of the electrical parameters on growth and structure of nanowires, different deposition potentials (both in the region where hydrogen evolution reaction is allowed or not) and voltage perturbation modes (constant potential or unipolar pulsed depositions) were applied. In all cases, pure polycrystalline Cu nanowires were fabricated into template pores, having lengths increasing with the total deposition time. These nanowires were self-standing, because they retain their vertical orientati…
