Flow diagram: photoelectrode and solar energy converting carbon dioxide and water conversion to fuel. Credit: Jianwu Sun Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden are developing a promising new method to selectively convert carbon dioxide and water to various types of fuel. Driving this reaction is solar energy. The recent study, published in ACS Nano, combines
An article recently published in 2D Materials shows the first experimental evidence of the successful formation of arsenene, an analogue of graphene with noteworthy semiconducting properties. This material shows a great potential for the development of new nanoelectronics. Crucial sample preparation and electron spectroscopy experiments were performed at the Bloch beamline at MAX IV. The
Graphene is a material consisting of only one layer of carbon atoms, arranged in a hexagonal pattern, which gives it a number of unique properties. It is 200 times stronger than steel, conducts electricity better than any other material, and can detect single molecules on its surface. Since the discovery of graphene – which
