A comparative study on the immobilization of organic-inorganic polyoxometalates hybrids onto gold electrodes: Direct versus indirect, covalent versus electrostatic grafting

Abstract We explored the conditions of the covalent grafting of organic-inorganic polyoxometalate hybrids onto gold using two basic reactions: the peptide-type coupling between a functionalized POM and a preformed organic self-assembled monolayer and the direct attachment of a th...

Thermal Phase Behavior of PNIPAM-Based Hydrogels: Different Scenarios and Implications in Injectable Hydrogel Design

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-based hydrogels are “smart” materials of great interest and demand, primarily in a variety of biomedical applications, due to their LCST close to physiological temperature. The basic biomedical applications of PNIPAM-based injectable hydrogels...

Supramolecular Janus Nanocylinders: Solvent-Induced Hydrogen-Bond Modulation Yields Structures under Thermodynamic Equilibrium

Abstract Janus nanocylinders (JNCs) are anisotropic, non-centrosymmetric colloids composed of two different faces, making them attractive for advanced functional materials. However, their nanometric dimensions and pronounced anisotropy complexify their preparation. Recently, a ve...

Frequency-dependent shear and bulk viscosity of aqueous and non-aqueous lithium battery electrolytes

Transverse ultrasound was used to examine the frequency-dependent shear viscosities of three lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide-based electrolytes: aqueous, non-aqueous, and hybrid aqueous-organic solutions. Frequency-dependent bulk viscosities of two of the electrolytes...

CO 2 ‐to‐CO Electrochemical Conversion With an Fe(I) Porphyrin Complex in Water

ABSTRACT Iron porphyrin complexes constitute a well‐established and versatile class of molecular electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO 2 to CO. In both organic and aqueous media, the reaction mechanism is typically proposed to involve the interaction of CO 2 with a formally de...

Multi‐Scale Investigation of Supramolecular Organogels Assembled From Pt(II)‐Salphen Complexes

Supramolecular metallogels based on platinum(II) complexes have attracted growing interest due to their tunable photophysical properties. However, the potential of Pt(II)-salphen complexes as low-molecular-weight gelators remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a series of Pt...
