Abstract: Abstract Photoelectrochemical water splitting can convert solar energy into clean hydrogen energy for storage. It is desirable to explore non-precious electrocatalysts for practical applications of a photoelectrode in a large scale. Here, we developed a… read more here.

Abstract: We report an oxide-assisted coating-etching process to remove bio-incompatible capping ligands from the surface of noble metal nanocrystals. The method involves the growth of a layer of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) on the nanocrystal surface to… read more here.
