Attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) is a powerful method for probing interfacial chemical processes. However, SEIRAS-active nanostructured metallic thin films for the in […]

Electrochemical interfaces still have remaining mysteries surrounding the interfacial region of the electrical double layer, despite being prevalent throughout the energy and water remediation industries. The […]

In the tetraazamacrocyclic ligand N,N’-dimethyl-2,11-diaza-[3.3](2,6)pyridinophane (L-N4Me2), the two pyridine units are separated from each other by sp3-hybridized triatomic bridges. Such electronically isolated pyridine moieties are considerably less […]

Understanding the origins of structure and bonding at the molecular level in complex chemical systems spanning magnitudes in length and time is of paramount interest in […]

Partial oxidation of furanic biomass derivatives such as furfural is of interest for the sustainable production of chemicals including furoic acid, maleic acid, and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid […]

Micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) combining sensing and microfluidics functionalities, as are common in Lab-on-Chip (LoC) devices, are increasingly based on polymers. Benefits of polymers include tunable […]

The use of infrared spectroscopy for biological and clinical applications has been demonstrated by a large number of proof-of-principle studies showing a high sensitivity and specificity […]

Conventional methods for phosphorus (P) analysis are time-consuming and laborious, which limited the application of rapid P monitoring in water. In this study, silicon (Si) was applied to […]
