Researchers boosted exciton mobility approaching Mott-Ioffe-Regel Limit in Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite
Exciton transport in 2D perovskite plays a pivotal role for their optoelectronic performance. We reveal that the free exciton mobilities in exfoliated thin flakes can be improved from around 8 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ to 280 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ with PMMA network at the surface.
Flattening the load: from flocking birds to reducing peak energy demand in buildings.
How do starling flocks relate to energy use in homes? Can neighbourhoods flatten peaks in demand using simple coordination schemes to help prevent blackouts? A recent paper explores these questions and provides striking answers that could help to design robust and efficient local energy systems.
Asymmetric alkene aminoarylations...with a Smiles:-)
We report here how chiral arylsulfinylamides can be used as "all-in-one" reagents for the visible light-mediated asymmetric aminoarylation of alkenes
Discovery of Easy Activity Promotion of Photoelectrochemical Reactors: Time & Energy Saving via Coupled Faradaic/Electrostatic Boosting Strategy!
PEC reactors are a type of electrochemical cell, harnessing light as a primary energy source to drive desired redox processes. By utilizing an appropriate semiconducting electrode, a PEC reactor can transform photons into e/h pairs and perform intended processes upon its cathode and anode.
Estimation and usefulness of measurement uncertainty from sampling at different spatial scales: microns to kilometres
Measurements made on samples are the basis of most scientific decision, but always contain uncertainty. Much of this uncertainty arises from how the samples are taken, and this can be quantified using the Duplicate Method, which can be applied at any spatial scale, from kilometre to microns.
