pH matters: The influence of the catalyst ink on the oxygen reduction activity determined in thin film rotating disk electrode measurements

Inaba, Masanori; Quinson, Jonathan; Arenz, Matthias

We investigated the influence of the ink properties of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) catalysts on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity determined in thin film rotating disk electrode (TF-RDE) measurements. It was found that the adaption of a previously reported ink recipe to home-made catalysts does not lead…

Effect of cholesterol on the molecular structure and transitions in a clinical-grade lung surfactant extract

Andersson, Jenny Marie; Grey, Carl; Larsson, Marcus; Ferreira, Tiago Mendes; Sparr, Emma

The lipid–protein film covering the interface of the lung alveolar in mammals is vital for proper lung function and its deficiency is related to a range of diseases. Here we present a molecular-level characterization of a clinical-grade porcine lung surfactant extract using a multitechnique approach consisting of H1H1

From evaporation-induced self-assembly to shear-induced alignment

Srikantharajah, R.; Schindler, T.; Landwehr, I.; Romeis, S.; Unruh, T.; Peukert, W.

The functionality of compact nanostructured thin films depends critically on the degree of order and hence on the underlying ordering mechanisms during film formation. For dip coating of rigid nanorods the counteracting mechanisms, evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) and shear-induced alignment (SIA) have recently been identified as competing ordering mechanisms. Here, we…

Strong Ligand–Block Copolymer Interactions for Incorporation of Relatively Large Nanoparticles in Ordered Composites

Gai, Yue; Lin, Ying; Song, Dong-Po; Yavitt, Benjamin M.; Watkins, James J.

For well-ordered block copolymer (BCP) nanocomposites containing nanoparticles (NPs), the ratio of NP core diameter (dcore) and BCP domain width (L) has been generally limited with dcore/L < 0.3 when NP/BCP interactions are relatively neutral or weak. Here, we systematically investigate the spatial distribution of gold nanoparticles (NP) ranging in…
