(author), Infante, Ivan (author), Siebbeles, L.D.A. (author), Houtepen, A.J. (author)Thermalization losses limit the photon-to-power conversion of solar cells at the high-energy side of the solar spectrum, as electrons quickly lose their energy relaxing to the band edge. Hot-electron transfer could reduce these losses. Here, we demonstrate fast and efficient hot-electron transfer between lead selenide and cadmium selenide...journal article 2018

Poltorak, L. (author), Oonk, S. (author), Sudholter, Ernst J. R. (author), de Puit, M. (author)The behaviour of acid phosphatase at an electrified liquid–liquid interface was studied in this work. It was found that only the protonated form of the protein can undergo interfacial adsorption which is affected by the pH of the aqueous phase. With ion transfer voltammetry we could detect acid phosphatase in concentrations as low as 0.1 μM....journal article 2018

Henriques da Silva, M.D. (author), Ottens, M. (author)Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) can be an effective strategy for the purification of polyphenols from a fermentation broth. However, solvents need to be chosen to ensure high extraction capacity and selectivity. For that purpose, a systematic study is here presented, where the partition of different polyphenols - naringin, naringenin, p...journal article 2018

Levisson, Mark (author), Patinios, Constantinos (author), Hein, Sascha (author), Daran, J.G. (author), Martens, Stefan (author), Hall, Robert D. (author), Beekwilder, Jules (author)Background: Anthocyanins are polyphenolic pigments which provide pink to blue colours in fruits and flowers. There is an increasing demand for anthocyanins, as food colorants and as health-promoting substances. Plant production of anthocyanins is often seasonal and cannot always meet demand due to low productivity and the complexity of the...journal article 2018

Poltorak, L. (author), Hoitink, Marnix (author), Sudholter, Ernst J. R. (author), de Puit, M. (author)A straightforward, direct, and selective method is presented for electrochemical cocaine identification in street samples. The sensing mechanism is based on a simple ion transfer reaction across the polarized liquid-liquid interface. The interfacial behavior of a number of cutting agents is also reported. Interfacial miniaturization has led...journal article 2018

Flipse, S.M. (author)Responsible innovation requires, among other things, that innovators reflect on the broader socio-ethical and socio-economic context of their work. This may be done by reflecting on innovation project complexity. However, tools and methods enabling relevant reflection are not abundant. In this explorative study, we investigated the effect of...journal article 2018

Wang, R. (author), Sun, X. (author), Ould-Chikh, Samy (author), Osadchii, D. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Gascon Sabate, J. (author)A nitrogen-doped carbon was synthesized through the pyrolysis of the well-known metal-organic framework ZIF-8, followed by a subsequent acid treatment, and has been applied as a catalyst in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. The resulting electrode shows Faradaic efficiencies to carbon monoxide as high as ∼78%, with hydrogen...journal article 2018

(author)Point spread function (PSF) engineering is used in single emitter localization to measure the emitter position in 3D and possibly other parameters such as the emission color or dipole orientation as well. Advanced PSF models such as spline fits to experimental PSFs or the vectorial PSF model can be used in the corresponding localization...journal article 2018

(author)An appealing feature of molecular electronics is the possibility of inducing changes in the orbital structure through external stimuli. This can provide functionality on the single-molecule level that can be employed for sensing or switching purposes if the associated conductance changes are sizable upon application of the stimuli. Here, we...journal article 2018
