Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a class of synthetic chemical compounds widely used as coatings to lower surface energies. Yet the microscopic mechanisms of their weak […]

Developing bifunctional electrocatalytic materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and supercapacitors in acidic environments is pivotal for advancing energy conversion and storage technologies. However, this […]

The removal of contaminating soils from textiles is an intensive process requiring large quantities of energy and water.Reducing this environmental impact through more effective detergent formulations […]

Cyanobacterial biofilms dwelling at the bottom of Arctic, sub-Arctic and high-alpine freshwa- ter ecosystems, such as lakes, ponds and streams, underpin local primary production, nutrient cycling […]

Controlling ion–polymer interactions in organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors is crucial for optimizing device performance in applications ranging from bioelectronics and energy storage to photonics.

Interfacial reorganisation at a gold electrode within an ionic liquid (1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, ([Pyrr13][TFSI])) electrolyte was investigated via in situ electrochemical attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption […]

The tether that anchors the lipid bilayer to the solid surface is a key component of tethered lipid membranes, which mimic biological membranes. The obtained lipid […]

The solvation properties of aqueous electrolytes have been shown to dramatically impact the outcomes of many electrocatalytic reactions. Understanding the structure and dynamics of interfacial water […]

High-concentration “water-in-salt” electrolytes remain underexplored in electrocatalysis, although their altered structure could offer benefits for catalytic processes. Understanding how these structural changes influence electrocatalytic performance is […]
