(author)The organic photovoltaics field is maturing and reaching a technology readiness level where the focus is on developing large scale fabrication methods. In this light, fully inkjet printed organic solar cells were demonstrated. Inkjet printing allows direct patterning of all the layers, including the electrodes, offering full freedom of design...journal article 2015

Latsuzbaia, R. (author), Negro, E. (author), Koper, G.J.M. (author)The design of a synthesis strategy for metal nanoparticles by templating dense microemulsions is proposed. Particle size is controlled by surfactant size rather than by microemulsion composition. The strategy was demonstrated with various systems with different surfactant: cationic, anionic and non-ionic and of different sizes. Formulations were...journal article 2015

Bormann, S. (author), Gomez Baraibar, A. (author), Ni, Y. (author), Holtmann, D. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Peroxygenases enable H2O2-driven oxyfunctionalisation of organic compounds such as selective epoxidation, hydroxylation and heteroatom oxygenation. Therefore, peroxygenases are potentially very useful tools for the organic chemist. This contribution reviews the current state of the art in peroxygenases, their availability, engineering and...journal article 2015

(author), Bals, S. (author), Vanmaekelbergh, D. (author), Zandbergen, H.W. (author), Van Huis, M.A. (author)In this work, we investigate the thermal evolution of CdSe–CdS–ZnS core–multishell quantum dots (QDs) in situ using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Starting at a temperature of approximately 250 °C, Zn diffusion into inner layers takes place together with simultaneous evaporation of particularly Cd and S. As a result of this...journal article 2014

Fang, C.M. (author), Van Huis, M.A. (author), Xu, Q. (author), Cava, R.J. (author), Zandbergen, H.W. (author)Nb12O29 is a 4d transition metal oxide that occurs in two forms with different symmetries, monoclinic (m) and orthorhombic (o). The monoclinic form has unusual magnetic properties; below a temperature of 12 K, it exhibits both metallic conductivity and antiferromagnetic ordering. Here, first-principles density-functional theory calculations are...journal article 2014

Negro, E. (author), Latsuzbaia, R. (author), De Vries, A.H. (author), Koper, G.J.M. (author)Microemulsions are exciting systems that are promising as tuneable self-assembling templating reaction vessels at the nanoscale. Determination of the nano-structure of microemulsions is, however, not trivial, and there are fundamental questions regarding their design. We were able to reproduce experimental data for an important microemulsion...journal article 2014

Resch, V. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)Water is omnipresent and essential. Yet at the same time it is a rather unreactive molecule. The direct addition of water to C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bonds is therefore a challenge not answered convincingly. In this perspective we critically evaluate the selectivity and the applicability of the different catalytic approaches for...journal article 2014

(author)We report on the production of Carbon Nano Networks (CNNs) from dense microemulsions in which catalyst nanoparticles have been synthesized. CNNs are 3D carbon networks, consisting of branches and junctions, and are mesoporous, graphitic, and conductive being suitable as electrode materials.journal article 2014

Ullien, D. (author), Thüne, P.C. (author), Jager, W.F. (author), Sudhölter, E.J.R. (author), De Smet, L.C.P.M. (author)4-Nitrobenzenediazonium (4-NBD) and 4-bromobenzenediazonium (4-BBD) salts were grafted electrochemically onto H-terminated, p-doped silicon (Si) surfaces. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ellipsometry experiments clearly showed layer thicknesses of 2–7 nm, which indicate multilayer formation. Decreasing the diazonium salt concentration and the...journal article 2014

(author)Several Al-based MOFs of the CAU family have been investigated for application in the adsorption driven allocation of heat and cold. The special water adsorption behaviour of CAU-10-H makes it ideal for application in adsorption driven heat pumps and chillers. For increased performance, CAU-10-H crystals have been grown directly on both ?...journal article 2014

García-Pérez, E. (author), Serra-Crespo, P. (author), Hamad, S. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Gascon, J. (author)Simulation of gas adsorption in flexible porous materials is still limited by the slow progress in the development of flexible force fields. Moreover, the high computational cost of such flexible force fields may be a drawback even when they are fully developed. In this work, molecular simulations of gas adsorption and diffusion of carbon...journal article 2014

Nasalevich, M.A. (author), Van der Veen, M. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Gascon, J. (author)The use of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogeneous photocatalysts is critically reviewed. First we revisit the general assumption of MOFs behaving truly as semiconductors, demonstrating that such semiconducting behaviour only occurs in a very limited subset of materials. Further, the main approaches for efficient light harvesting and...journal article 2014
