Unravelling the Photocatalytic Behavior of All-Inorganic Mixed Halide Perovskites: The Role of Surface Chemical States
2019
Within the most mesmerizing materials in the world of optoelectronics, mixed halide perovskites (MHPs) have been distinguished because of the tunability of their optoelectronic properties, balancing both the light-harvesting efficiency and the charge extraction into highly efficient solar devices. This feature has drawn the attention of analogous hot topics as photocatalysis for carrying out more efficiently the degradation of organic compounds. However, the photo-oxidation ability of perovskite depends not only on its excellent light-harvesting properties but also on the surface chemical environment provided during its synthesis. Accordingly, we studied the role of surface chemical states …
Vacuum Processed Narrow and Wide Bandgap Perovskites for Photovoltaic Applications
2021
El objetivo principal de la presente tesis fue el desarrollo de nuevos materiales que sirvan de ayuda en la actual emergencia climática. De este modo, se prepararon perovskitas de banda prohibida estrecha y ancha con la intención de integrarlas en tándems, que pueden aprovechar todo el espectro solar para generar energía, en el futuro. Las perovskitas fueron preparadas mediante la técnica de sublimación, o deposición a vacío. Además, se emplearon otras técnicas que no requieren del uso de disolventes, como la mecanoquímica. A lo largo de la tesis se preparan dos perovskitas de banda prohibida estrecha, siendo una de ellas la primera perovskita basada en plomo y estaño sintetizada mediante s…
Skeletal muscle HSP60 expression is fiber-type specific and increases after endurance training
2013
Heat shock protein (Hsp) 60 is primarily localized inside mitochondrial, plays a key role in the translocation of proteins and cytoprotection, and its levels increase in skeletal muscle upon exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine muscle fiber specificity of HSP60 at rest and after an endurance training program of 6 weeks. Forth-eight young (7-weeks old) healthy mice (BALB/c) were subdivided into sedentary and trained groups. Training was performed over a period of 6 weeks on a rota-rod, at a gradually increasing duration and speed. Eight mice of each group were sacrificed after 15, 30 and 45 days. Two days after the last exercise session all mice were sacrificed by cervical disl…
Les plafonds voûtés des traités historiques aux applications en Sicile
2016
I controsoffitti lignei voltati - a partire dal XVII secolo e con notevole diffusione ed impiego nel XVIII secolo in tutta l’Europa - hanno qualificato sia edifici pubblici e privati di pregio che anche gran parte dell’edilizia di base, per le loro caratteristiche di indipendenza strutturale, leggerezza e di facile assemblaggio delle parti. Lo studio e la ricerca vogliono restituire memoria dei materiali costitutivi e delle tecniche costruttive impiegate nella realizzazione dei manufatti, per offrire un utile strumento di conoscenza agli studiosi ed ai tanti operatori del settore impegnati nell’intervento di recupero e/o restauro. C’est grâce à l’indépendance structurelle, à la légèreté et …
Caracterización electroquímica de metales nobles en objetos arqueológicos y en obras de arte
2019
La presente Tesis Doctoral se dirige a la caracterización de materiales, técnicas de fabricación, tipos de alteración de metales nobles (principalmente de oro y plata) en objetos artísticos y arqueológicos mediante técnicas electroquímicas, incorporando además estrategias quimiométricas para el desarrollo de métodos de autentificación y datación. Para ello se parte de la aplicación de las herramientas electroquímicas (principalmente voltamperometrías de barrido lineal, de onda cuadrada etc.). La información obtenida se va complementando con otras técnicas como la microscopia electrónica (FIB-FESEM) o la microscopía de fuerza atómica (AFM). También se hace hincapié en la necesidad de utiliza…

Application of polydopamine functionalized zinc oxide for glucose biosensor design
2021
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are widely used in optical sensors and biosensors. Functionalization of these nanostructures with polymers enables optical properties of ZnO to be tailored. Polydopamine (PDA) is a highly biocompatible polymer, which can be used as a versatile coating suitable for application in sensor and biosensor design. In this research, we have grown ZnO-based nanorods on the surface of ITO-modified glass-plated optically transparent electrodes (glass/ITO). Then the deposition of the PDA polymer layer on the surface of ZnO nanorods was performed from an aqueous PDA solution in such a way glass/ITO/ZnO-PDA structure was formed. The ZnO-PDA composite was characterized by S…
Amperometric Biosensor and Front-End Electronics for Remote Glucose Monitoring by Crosslinked PEDOT-Glucose Oxidase
2018
Focusing on the interplay between interface chemistry, electrochemistry, and integrated electronics, we show a novel low-cost and flexible biosensing platform for continuous glucose monitoring. The amperometric biosensing system features a planar three-electrode structure on a plastic substrate, and a wireless near-field communication-powered electronic system performing sensor analog front-end, A/D conversion, digital control, and display tasks. The working electrode is made of electropolymerized poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film onto a polyethylene terephthalate/gold electrode followed by immobilization of cross-linked glucose oxidase by glutaraldehyde. The advantages offered by such…
