We apply this method to synthesize fulleride superconductors via Rb+ intercalation into a C60 film. During the intercalation, we monitor the stoichiometry via UHV-Raman spectroscopy and probe superconductivity via transport measurements. An increase of the superconducting transition temperature from 7.0 K to 14.5 K is observed when the stoichiometry is tuned from Rb2.7C60 to Rb3C60. In our experiment, an ionic Rb+ flux into the host material is induced by an applied electronic current via a Butler–Volmer-type mechanism. Electro-intercalation captivates through improved stoichiometric precision, the ability to smoothly vary stoichiometry via duration of current application, and the absence of a lower limit of the volume of the host material. It represents a powerful concept for the on-chip synthesis of intercalated materials, battery research, and beyond.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-06-23T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"hybrid","file_date_updated":"2026-06-29T08:58:12Z","volume":20,"page":"17360-17372","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.6c02466","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"22145","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1936-0851"],"eissn":["1936-086X"]},"OA_place":"publisher","citation":{"short":"K.P.

Therefore, thermal management is a critical barrier to the development of more powerful X-ray tubes with higher brightness and spatial coherence, which are needed to translate imaging modalities such as phase-contrast imaging to the clinic. In rotating anode X-ray tubes, the most common design, thermal radiation is a bottleneck that prevents efficient cooling of the anode─the hottest part of the device by far. We predict that nanophotonic patterning of the anode of an X-ray tube enhances heat dissipation via thermal radiation, enabling it to operate at higher powers without an increase in temperature. The focal spot size, which is related to the spatial coherence of generated X-rays, can also be reduced at a constant temperature. A major advantage of our “nanophotonic thermal management” approach is that in principle, it allows complete control over the spectrum and direction of thermal radiation, which can lead to optimal thermal routing and improved performance.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","issue":"35","publication":"ACS Nano","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2025-08-26T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"green","page":"31363-31370","article_processing_charge":"No","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.5c05186","volume":19,"_id":"21524","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1936-086X"],"issn":["1936-0851"]},"OA_place":"repository","citation":{"apa":"Pajovic, S., Roques-Carmes, C., Choi, S., Kooi, S.

They sustain chemical gradients and fluid flows that propel them by phoresis. This leads to unconventional behavior and collective dynamics, such as self-organization into complex structures. Characterizing the nonequilibrium interactions of microswimmers is crucial for advancing our understanding of active systems. However, this remains a challenge owing to the importance of fluctuations at the microscale and the difficulty in disentangling the different contributions to the interactions. Here, we show a massive dependence of the nonequilibrium interactions on the shape of catalytic microswimmers. We perform tracking experiments at high throughput to map interactions between nanocolloidal tracers and dimeric microswimmers of various aspect ratios. Our method leverages dual tracers with differing phoretic mobilities to quantitatively disentangle phoretic motion from hydrodynamic advection. This approach is validated through experiments on single chemically active sites and on immobilized catalytic microswimmers. We further investigate the activity-driven interactions of free microswimmers and directly measure their phoretic interactions. When compared to standard models, our findings highlight the important role of osmotic flows for microswimmers near surfaces and reveal an enhanced contribution of hydrodynamic advection relative to phoretic motion as the size of the microswimmer increases. Our study provides robust measurements of the nonequilibrium interactions from catalytic microswimmers and lays the groundwork for a realistic description of active systems.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","issue":"11","publication":"ACS Nano","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"OA_type":"green","date_published":"2025-03-11T00:00:00Z","page":"11133-11145","article_processing_charge":"No","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.4c18078","volume":19,"date_updated":"2025-10-16T10:26:59Z","project":[{"_id":"eb99c9bb-77a9-11ec-83b8-9f8cffa20a35","grant_number":"P35206","name":"Emergent Behavior in Spinning Active Matter"}],"isi":1,"day":"11","publisher":"American Chemical Society","author":[{"first_name":"Celso","full_name":"Carrasco, Celso","last_name":"Carrasco"},{"full_name":"Martinet, Quentin","last_name":"Martinet","first_name":"Quentin","id":"b37485a8-d343-11eb-a0e9-df8c484ef8ab","orcid":"0000-0002-2916-6632"},{"full_name":"Shen, Zaiyi","last_name":"Shen","first_name":"Zaiyi"},{"full_name":"Lintuvuori, Juho","last_name":"Lintuvuori","first_name":"Juho"},{"full_name":"Palacci, Jérémie A","last_name":"Palacci","orcid":"0000-0002-7253-9465","id":"8fb92548-2b22-11eb-b7c1-a3f0d08d7c7d","first_name":"Jérémie A"},{"full_name":"Aubret, Antoine","last_name":"Aubret","first_name":"Antoine"}],"type":"journal_article"},{"month":"04","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"acknowledgement":"This work was supported by the Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation (2023A1515110828) and the Generalitat de Catalunya (2021SGR01581).

However, its practical application is hindered by significant volumetric fluctuations during lithiation/delithiation, alongside a metastable nature, which induces mechanical instability and irreversible lithium consumption, ultimately impairing long-term capacity retention in full-battery cell configurations. In this study, we present a phase-engineering approach designed to improve the structural stability of SiOx anodes for LIB applications. By incorporating lithium fluoride, amorphous SiOx undergoes partial transformation into a quartz-like phase, which enhances mechanical integrity and mitigates irreversible lithium loss. This modified anode demonstrates significantly improved stability and prolonged cycle lifespan. Through a combination of multiscale simulations and in situ characterizations, we elucidate the stabilization mechanisms conferred by the quartz phase, providing critical insights into the role of SiOx’s crystal structure in influencing degradation pathways.

Despite the rapid progress, the deployment of functional micro/nanorobots remains limited. This review of the technology roadmap identifies key challenges hindering their widespread use, focusing on propulsion mechanisms, fundamental theoretical aspects, collective behavior, material design, and embodied intelligence. We explore the current state of micro/nanorobot technology, with an emphasis on applications in biomedicine, environmental remediation, analytical sensing, and other industrial technological aspects. Additionally, we analyze issues related to scaling up production, commercialization, and regulatory frameworks that are crucial for transitioning from research to practical applications. We also emphasize the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to address both technical and nontechnical challenges, such as sustainability, ethics, and business considerations. Finally, we propose a roadmap for future research to accelerate the development of micro/nanorobots, positioning them as essential tools for addressing grand challenges and enhancing the quality of life."}],"oa_version":"Published Version"},{"article_type":"review","oa":1,"scopus_import":"1","acknowledgement":"This article was inspired by the discussions and presentations at the NaNaX10 (Nanoscience with Nanocrystals) conference held in the Institute of Science and Technology of Austria (ISTA), July 3–7, 2023.

Over four decades of research into NCs has led to numerous advancements in diverse fields, such as optoelectronics, catalysis, energy, medicine, and recently, quantum information and computing. The last 10 years since the predecessor perspective “Prospect of Nanoscience with Nanocrystals” was published in ACS Nano have seen NC research continuously evolve, yielding critical advances in fundamental understanding and practical applications. Mechanistic insights into NC formation have translated into precision control over NC size, shape, and composition. Emerging synthesis techniques have broadened the landscape of compounds obtainable in colloidal NC form. Sophistication in surface chemistry, jointly bolstered by theoretical models and experimental findings, has facilitated refined control over NC properties and represents a trusted gateway to enhanced NC stability and processability. The assembly of NCs into superlattices, along with two-dimensional (2D) photolithography and three-dimensional (3D) printing, has expanded their utility in creating materials with tailored properties. Applications of NCs are also flourishing, consolidating progress in fields targeted early on, such as optoelectronics and catalysis, and extending into areas ranging from quantum technology to phase-change memories. In this perspective, we review the extensive progress in research on NCs over the past decade and highlight key areas where future research may bring further breakthroughs."}],"corr_author":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","volume":19,"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.5c07838","page":" 31969–32051","file_date_updated":"2025-12-30T09:35:44Z","date_published":"2025-09-03T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"hybrid","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"day":"03","isi":1,"project":[{"name":"HighTE: The Werner Siemens Laboratory for the High Throughput Discovery of Semiconductors for Waste Heat Recovery","_id":"9B8F7476-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A"}],"date_updated":"2025-12-30T09:35:54Z","type":"journal_article","author":[{"full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","last_name":"Ibáñez","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","first_name":"Maria","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Simon C.","last_name":"Boehme","full_name":"Boehme, Simon C."},{"last_name":"Buonsanti","full_name":"Buonsanti, Raffaella","first_name":"Raffaella"},{"first_name":"Jonathan","full_name":"De Roo, Jonathan","last_name":"De Roo"},{"first_name":"Delia J.","last_name":"Milliron","full_name":"Milliron, Delia J."},{"last_name":"Ithurria","full_name":"Ithurria, Sandrine","first_name":"Sandrine"},{"first_name":"Andrey L.","last_name":"Rogach","full_name":"Rogach, Andrey L."},{"first_name":"Andreu","full_name":"Cabot, Andreu","last_name":"Cabot"},{"last_name":"Yarema","full_name":"Yarema, Maksym","first_name":"Maksym"},{"last_name":"Cossairt","full_name":"Cossairt, Brandi M.","first_name":"Brandi M."},{"last_name":"Reiss","full_name":"Reiss, Peter","first_name":"Peter"},{"full_name":"Talapin, Dmitri V.","last_name":"Talapin","first_name":"Dmitri V."},{"full_name":"Protesescu, Loredana","last_name":"Protesescu","first_name":"Loredana"},{"first_name":"Zeger","last_name":"Hens","full_name":"Hens, Zeger"},{"last_name":"Infante","full_name":"Infante, Ivan","first_name":"Ivan"},{"last_name":"Bodnarchuk","full_name":"Bodnarchuk, Maryna I.","first_name":"Maryna I."},{"full_name":"Ye, Xingchen","last_name":"Ye","first_name":"Xingchen"},{"full_name":"Wang, Yuanyuan","last_name":"Wang","first_name":"Yuanyuan"},{"last_name":"Zhang","full_name":"Zhang, Hao","first_name":"Hao"},{"first_name":"Emmanuel","last_name":"Lhuillier","full_name":"Lhuillier, Emmanuel"},{"first_name":"Victor I.","last_name":"Klimov","full_name":"Klimov, Victor I."},{"last_name":"Utzat","full_name":"Utzat, Hendrik","first_name":"Hendrik"},{"last_name":"Rainò","full_name":"Rainò, Gabriele","first_name":"Gabriele"},{"full_name":"Kagan, Cherie R.","last_name":"Kagan","first_name":"Cherie R."},{"last_name":"Cargnello","full_name":"Cargnello, Matteo","first_name":"Matteo"},{"last_name":"Son","full_name":"Son, Jae Sung","first_name":"Jae Sung"},{"last_name":"Kovalenko","full_name":"Kovalenko, Maksym V.","first_name":"Maksym V."}],"publisher":"American Chemical Society"},{"oa_version":"None","issue":"38","publication":"ACS Nano","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"SnTe has attracted significant research interest as a lead-free alternative to PbTe; however, its intrinsically high hole concentration results in an undesirably low Seebeck coefficient and elevated electronic thermal conductivity, thus significantly limiting its thermoelectric (TE) performance. Herein, we present a cost-effective, binary thiol-amine-mediated colloidal synthesis method to synthesize Bi-doped SnTe nanoparticles, eliminating the use of tri-n-octylphosphine-based precursors. The introduction of an electron-rich Bi dopant reduces the hole concentration and increases the Seebeck coefficient. Furthermore, post-synthetic surface treatment with chalcogenidocadmate complexes promotes atomic interdiffusion during annealing and consolidation, leading to compositional redistribution and modulation of the electronic band structure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that co-modification via Bi doping and CdSe-derived chalcogen incorporation reduces the energy offset at the valence band maxima from 0.30 eV to 0.10 eV, thereby enhancing valence band degeneracy. The synergistic structural and electronic band structure modulations produce an SnTe-based material with a record high power factor of 2.1 mW m–1 K–2 at 900 K, a maximum TE figure of merit (zT) of 1.2, and a promising theoretical conversion efficiency of 8.3%.

Collagen can self-assemble in vitro, which has led to a number of biotechnological and biomedical applications. To understand the dominant factors that participate in the formation of collagen nanostructures, here we study in real time and with nanoscale resolution the disassembly and reassembly of collagens. We implement a high-speed force microscope, which provides in situ high spatiotemporal resolution images of collagen nanostructures under changing pH conditions. The disassembly and reassembly are dominated by the electrostatic interactions among amino-acid residues of different molecules. Acidic conditions favor disassembly by neutralizing negatively charged residues. The process sets a net repulsive force between collagen molecules. A neutral pH favors the presence of negative and positively charged residues along the collagen molecules, which promotes their electrostatic attraction. Molecular dynamics simulations reproduce the experimental behavior and validate the electrostatic-based model of the disassembly and reassembly processes."}],"status":"public","issue":"28","publication":"ACS Nano","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"18808","file_name":"2024_ACSNano_GarciaSacristan.pdf","date_updated":"2025-01-09T12:06:48Z","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","file_size":10036838,"relation":"main_file","checksum":"b7e9ce718e92f568bcb3810e8e28e458","date_created":"2025-01-09T12:06:48Z","success":1}],"oa_version":"Published Version","page":"18485-18492","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.4c03839","volume":18,"OA_type":"hybrid","date_published":"2024-07-16T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2025-01-09T12:06:48Z","project":[{"grant_number":"802960","name":"Non-Equilibrium Protein Assembly: from Building Blocks to Biological Machines","_id":"eba2549b-77a9-11ec-83b8-a81e493eae4e","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"isi":1,"day":"16","date_updated":"2025-12-16T09:01:10Z","type":"journal_article","publisher":"American Chemical Society","author":[{"last_name":"Garcia-Sacristan","full_name":"Garcia-Sacristan, Clara","first_name":"Clara"},{"full_name":"Gisbert, Victor G.","last_name":"Gisbert","first_name":"Victor G."},{"full_name":"Klein, Kevin","last_name":"Klein","id":"1e7ede04-9e54-11f0-9ec4-8d4d5563c398","first_name":"Kevin"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-7854-2139","id":"bf63d406-f056-11eb-b41d-f263a6566d8b","first_name":"Anđela","last_name":"Šarić","full_name":"Šarić, Anđela"},{"first_name":"Ricardo","full_name":"Garcia, Ricardo","last_name":"Garcia"}]},{"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1936-0851"],"eissn":["1936-086X"]},"OA_place":"repository","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"12915","title":"Thermoelectric performance of surface-engineered Cu1.5–xTe–Cu2Se nanocomposites","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"quality_controlled":"1","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://ddd.uab.cat/pub/artpub/2023/zlnqprw07rek/acsnan_a2023_Pre.pdf"}],"date_created":"2023-05-07T22:01:04Z","citation":{"ista":"Xing C, Zhang Y, Xiao K, Han X, Liu Y, Nan B, Ramon MG, Lim KH, Li J, Arbiol J, Poudel B, Nozariasbmarz A, Li W, Ibáñez M, Cabot A. 2023.

In contrast, Cu2–xTe, another member of the copper chalcogenide family, typically exhibits low Seebeck coefficients that limit its potential to achieve a superior thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, particularly in the low-temperature range where this material could be effective. To address this, we investigated the TE performance of Cu1.5–xTe–Cu2Se nanocomposites by consolidating surface-engineered Cu1.5Te nanocrystals. This surface engineering strategy allows for precise adjustment of Cu/Te ratios and results in a reversible phase transition at around 600 K in Cu1.5–xTe–Cu2Se nanocomposites, as systematically confirmed by in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction combined with differential scanning calorimetry analysis. The phase transition leads to a conversion from metallic-like to semiconducting-like TE properties. Additionally, a layer of Cu2Se generated around Cu1.5–xTe nanoparticles effectively inhibits Cu1.5–xTe grain growth, minimizing thermal conductivity and decreasing hole concentration. These properties indicate that copper telluride based compounds have a promising thermoelectric potential, translated into a high dimensionless zT of 1.3 at 560 K.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","oa_version":"Submitted Version","volume":17,"page":"8442-8452","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.3c00495","article_processing_charge":"No","date_published":"2023-05-09T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"green","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]},{"isi":1,"project":[{"name":"HighTE: The Werner Siemens Laboratory for the High Throughput Discovery of Semiconductors for Waste Heat Recovery","_id":"9B8F7476-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A"}],"day":"13","date_updated":"2025-04-15T06:36:40Z","type":"journal_article","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-7313-6740","first_name":"Yu","id":"2A70014E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Liu","full_name":"Liu, Yu"},{"first_name":"Mingquan","last_name":"Li","full_name":"Li, Mingquan"},{"first_name":"Shanhong","full_name":"Wan, Shanhong","last_name":"Wan"},{"first_name":"Khak Ho","full_name":"Lim, Khak Ho","last_name":"Lim"},{"full_name":"Zhang, Yu","last_name":"Zhang","first_name":"Yu"},{"first_name":"Mengyao","last_name":"Li","full_name":"Li, Mengyao"},{"first_name":"Junshan","last_name":"Li","full_name":"Li, Junshan"},{"last_name":"Ibáñez","full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","first_name":"Maria","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Min","full_name":"Hong, Min","last_name":"Hong"},{"first_name":"Andreu","last_name":"Cabot","full_name":"Cabot, Andreu"}],"publisher":"American Chemical Society","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"AgSbSe2 is a promising thermoelectric (TE) p-type material for applications in the middle-temperature range. AgSbSe2 is characterized by relatively low thermal conductivities and high Seebeck coefficients, but its main limitation is moderate electrical conductivity. Herein, we detail an efficient and scalable hot-injection synthesis route to produce AgSbSe2 nanocrystals (NCs). To increase the carrier concentration and improve the electrical conductivity, these NCs are doped with Sn2+ on Sb3+ sites. Upon processing, the Sn2+ chemical state is conserved using a reducing NaBH4 solution to displace the organic ligand and anneal the material under a forming gas flow. The TE properties of the dense materials obtained from the consolidation of the NCs using a hot pressing are then characterized. The presence of Sn2+ ions replacing Sb3+ significantly increases the charge carrier concentration and, consequently, the electrical conductivity. Opportunely, the measured Seebeck coefficient varied within a small range upon Sn doping. The excellent performance obtained when Sn2+ ions are prevented from oxidation is rationalized by modeling the system. Calculated band structures disclosed that Sn doping induces convergence of the AgSbSe2 valence bands, accounting for an enhanced electronic effective mass. The dramatically enhanced carrier transport leads to a maximized power factor for AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 of 0.63 mW m–1 K–2 at 640 K. Thermally, phonon scattering is significantly enhanced in the NC-based materials, yielding an ultralow thermal conductivity of 0.3 W mK–1 at 666 K. Overall, a record-high figure of merit (zT) is obtained at 666 K for AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 at zT = 1.37, well above the values obtained for undoped AgSbSe2, at zT = 0.58 and state-of-art Pb- and Te-free materials, which makes AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 an excellent p-type candidate for medium-temperature TE applications."}],"status":"public","issue":"12","publication":"ACS Nano","oa_version":"None","page":"11923–11934","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.3c03541","article_processing_charge":"No","volume":17,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2023-06-13T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1936-086X"],"issn":["1936-0851"]},"_id":"13235","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","date_created":"2023-07-16T22:01:11Z","title":"Surface chemistry and band engineering in AgSbSe₂: Toward high thermoelectric performance","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"quality_controlled":"1","pmid":1,"citation":{"ama":"Liu Y, Li M, Wan S, et al.

However, to what extent the properties of such supramolecular crystals actually resemble those of atomic materials often remains unclear. Here, we present coarse-grained molecular simulations explicitly demonstrating how a behavior evocative of that of semiconductors may emerge in a colloidal superlattice. As a case study, we focus on gold nanoparticles bearing positively charged groups that self-assemble into FCC crystals via mediation by citrate counterions. In silico ohmic experiments show how the dynamically diverse behavior of the ions in different superlattice domains allows the opening of conductive ionic gates above certain levels of applied electric fields. The observed binary conductive/nonconductive behavior is reminiscent of that of conventional semiconductors, while, at a supramolecular level, crossing the “band gap” requires a sufficient electrostatic stimulus to break the intermolecular interactions and make ions diffuse throughout the superlattice’s cavities."}],"status":"public","issue":"1","publication":"ACS Nano","publisher":"American Chemical Society","author":[{"first_name":"Chiara","last_name":"Lionello","full_name":"Lionello, Chiara"},{"full_name":"Perego, Claudio","last_name":"Perego","first_name":"Claudio"},{"first_name":"Andrea","full_name":"Gardin, Andrea","last_name":"Gardin"},{"id":"8e84690e-1e48-11ed-a02b-a1e6fb8bb53b","first_name":"Rafal","full_name":"Klajn, Rafal","last_name":"Klajn"},{"first_name":"Giovanni M.","full_name":"Pavan, Giovanni M.","last_name":"Pavan"}],"type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2023-08-02T06:51:15Z","day":"10","year":"2023","intvolume":"        17","keyword":["General Physics and Astronomy","General Engineering","General Materials Science"],"month":"01","publication_status":"published","oa":1,"scopus_import":"1","article_type":"original","citation":{"ama":"Lionello C, Perego C, Gardin A, Klajn R, Pavan GM.

However, to achieve an economic impact, the polycrystalline counterpart needs to replicate the performance of the single crystal. Herein, we optimize the thermoelectric performance of polycrystalline SnSe produced by consolidating solution-processed and surface-engineered SnSe particles. In particular, the SnSe particles are coated with CdSe molecular complexes that crystallize during the sintering process, forming CdSe nanoparticles. The presence of CdSe nanoparticles inhibits SnSe grain growth during the consolidation step due to Zener pinning, yielding a material with a high density of grain boundaries. Moreover, the resulting SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites present a large number of defects at different length scales, which significantly reduce the thermal conductivity. The produced SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites exhibit thermoelectric figures of merit up to 2.2 at 786 K, which is among the highest reported for solution-processed SnSe.","lang":"eng"}],"corr_author":"1","status":"public","oa_version":"Published Version","volume":16,"page":"78-88","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.1c06720","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2022-01-25T00:00:00Z","file_date_updated":"2022-03-02T16:17:29Z","ec_funded":1,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1936-0851"],"eissn":["1936-086X"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"10042","title":"Defect engineering in solution-processed polycrystalline SnSe leads to high thermoelectric performance","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"quality_controlled":"1","date_created":"2021-09-24T07:55:12Z","pmid":1,"citation":{"ama":"Liu Y, Calcabrini M, Yu Y, et al.

Its advantages include the abundance, low cost, and safety of its elements and a high performance at relatively elevated temperatures. However, stability issues limit its operation current and temperature, thus calling for the optimization of the material performance in the middle temperature range. Here, we present a synthetic protocol for large scale production of covellite CuS nanoparticles at ambient temperature and atmosphere, and using water as a solvent. The crystal phase and stoichiometry of the particles are afterward tuned through an annealing process at a moderate temperature under inert or reducing atmosphere. While annealing under argon results in Cu1.8S nanopowder with a rhombohedral crystal phase, annealing in an atmosphere containing hydrogen leads to tetragonal Cu1.96S. High temperature X-ray diffraction analysis shows the material annealed in argon to transform to the cubic phase at ca. 400 K, while the material annealed in the presence of hydrogen undergoes two phase transitions, first to hexagonal and then to the cubic structure. The annealing atmosphere, temperature, and time allow adjustment of the density of copper vacancies and thus tuning of the charge carrier concentration and material transport properties. In this direction, the material annealed under Ar is characterized by higher electrical conductivities but lower Seebeck coefficients than the material annealed in the presence of hydrogen. By optimizing the charge carrier concentration through the annealing time, Cu2–xS with record figures of merit in the middle temperature range, up to 1.41 at 710 K, is obtained. We finally demonstrate that this strategy, based on a low-cost and scalable solution synthesis process, is also suitable for the production of high performance Cu2–xS layers using high throughput and cost-effective printing technologies."}],"publication":"ACS Nano","issue":"3","author":[{"first_name":"Mengyao","full_name":"Li, Mengyao","last_name":"Li"},{"first_name":"Yu","id":"2A70014E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-7313-6740","last_name":"Liu","full_name":"Liu, Yu"},{"first_name":"Yu","last_name":"Zhang","full_name":"Zhang, Yu"},{"first_name":"Xu","full_name":"Han, Xu","last_name":"Han"},{"full_name":"Zhang, Ting","last_name":"Zhang","first_name":"Ting"},{"full_name":"Zuo, Yong","last_name":"Zuo","first_name":"Yong"},{"full_name":"Xie, Chenyang","last_name":"Xie","first_name":"Chenyang"},{"first_name":"Ke","full_name":"Xiao, Ke","last_name":"Xiao"},{"full_name":"Arbiol, Jordi","last_name":"Arbiol","first_name":"Jordi"},{"first_name":"Jordi","last_name":"Llorca","full_name":"Llorca, Jordi"},{"full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","last_name":"Ibáñez","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Maria","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843"},{"full_name":"Liu, Junfeng","last_name":"Liu","first_name":"Junfeng"},{"full_name":"Cabot, Andreu","last_name":"Cabot","first_name":"Andreu"}],"publisher":"American Chemical Society","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2026-07-06T12:15:39Z","isi":1,"day":"01","year":"2021","external_id":{"isi":["000634569100106"],"pmid":["33645986"]},"das_tickbox":"1","intvolume":"        15","keyword":["General Engineering","General Physics and Astronomy","General Materials Science"],"month":"03","acknowledgement":"This work was supported by the European Regional Development Funds.

Many properties of the target object are determined by details of those generic scaffold sequences. Here, we enable designers to fully specify the target structure not only in terms of desired 3D shape but also in terms of the sequences used. To this end, we built design tools to construct scaffold sequences de novo based on strand diagrams, and we developed scalable production methods for creating design-specific scaffold strands with fully user-defined sequences. We used 17 custom scaffolds having different lengths and sequence properties to study the influence of sequence redundancy and sequence composition on multilayer DNA origami assembly and to realize efficient one-pot assembly of multiscaffold DNA origami objects. Furthermore, as examples for functionalized scaffolds, we created a scaffold that enables direct, covalent cross-linking of DNA origami via UV irradiation, and we built DNAzyme-containing scaffolds that allow postfolding DNA origami domain separation."}],"status":"public","issue":"5","publication":"ACS Nano","oa_version":"Published Version","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.9b01025"}],"date_created":"2023-09-06T12:48:47Z","extern":"1","title":"Custom-size, functional, and durable DNA origami with design-specific scaffolds","quality_controlled":"1","pmid":1,"citation":{"ieee":"E.

We present here a bottom-up approach to produce Pb–Ag–K–S–Te nanocomposites, which is a highly promising system for thermoelectric energy conversion. First, we developed a high-yield and scalable colloidal synthesis route to uniform lead sulfide (PbS) nanorods, whose tips are made of silver sulfide (Ag2S). We then took advantage of the large surface-to-volume ratio to introduce a p-type dopant (K) by replacing native organic ligands with K2Te. Upon thermal consolidation, K2Te-surface modified PbS–Ag2S nanorods yield p-type doped nanocomposites with PbTe and PbS as major phases and Ag2S and Ag2Te as embedded nanoinclusions. Thermoelectric characterization of such consolidated nanosolids showed a high thermoelectric figure-of-merit of 1 at 620 K."}],"status":"public","oa_version":"Published Version","volume":13,"page":"6572-6580","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.9b00346","date_published":"2019-06-25T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:33Z","day":"25","isi":1,"project":[{"_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"754411","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships"}],"date_updated":"2025-04-14T07:44:06Z","type":"journal_article","publisher":"American Chemical Society","author":[{"last_name":"Ibáñez","full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Maria","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843"},{"last_name":"Genç","full_name":"Genç, Aziz","first_name":"Aziz"},{"full_name":"Hasler, Roger","last_name":"Hasler","first_name":"Roger"},{"full_name":"Liu, Yu","last_name":"Liu","first_name":"Yu","id":"2A70014E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-7313-6740"},{"first_name":"Oleksandr","full_name":"Dobrozhan, Oleksandr","last_name":"Dobrozhan"},{"full_name":"Nazarenko, Olga","last_name":"Nazarenko","first_name":"Olga"},{"first_name":"María de la","last_name":"Mata","full_name":"Mata, María de la"},{"first_name":"Jordi","last_name":"Arbiol","full_name":"Arbiol, Jordi"},{"first_name":"Andreu","last_name":"Cabot","full_name":"Cabot, Andreu"},{"first_name":"Maksym V.","full_name":"Kovalenko, Maksym V.","last_name":"Kovalenko"}]},{"type":"journal_article","author":[{"first_name":"Patrick D.

They impose a diffusion barrier to macromolecules and enable the selective transport of nuclear transport receptors with bound cargo. The underlying mechanisms that establish these permeability properties remain to be fully elucidated but require unstructured nuclear pore proteins rich in Phe-Gly (FG)-repeat domains of different types, such as FxFG and GLFG. While physical modeling and in vitro approaches have provided a framework for explaining how the FG network contributes to the barrier and transport properties of the NPC, it remains unknown whether the number and/or the spatial positioning of different FG-domains along a cylindrical, ∼40 nm diameter transport channel contributes to their collective properties and function. To begin to answer these questions, we have used DNA origami to build a cylinder that mimics the dimensions of the central transport channel and can house a specified number of FG-domains at specific positions with easily tunable design parameters, such as grafting density and topology. We find the overall morphology of the FG-domain assemblies to be dependent on their chemical composition, determined by the type and density of FG-repeat, and on their architectural confinement provided by the DNA cylinder, largely consistent with here presented molecular dynamics simulations based on a coarse-grained polymer model. In addition, high-speed atomic force microscopy reveals local and reversible FG-domain condensation that transiently occludes the lumen of the DNA central channel mimics, suggestive of how the NPC might establish its permeability properties."}],"status":"public","issue":"2","publication":"ACS Nano","oa_version":"None","date_created":"2021-11-26T15:15:00Z","extern":"1","title":"A Programmable DNA origami platform for organizing intrinsically disordered nucleoporins within nanopore confinement","quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"ama":"Fisher PDE, Shen Q, Akpinar B, et al.

The potential of hydrogels, such as those based on perylene bisimides, lies in their chemical, physical, optical, and electronic properties, which are governed by the supramolecular structure of the gel. However, the structural motifs and their precise role for long-range conductivity are yet to be explored. Here, we present a comprehensive structural picture of a perylene bisimide hydrogel, suggesting that its long-range conductivity is limited by charge transfer between electronic backbones. We reveal nanocrystalline ribbon-like structures as the electronic and structural backbone units between which charge transfer is mediated by polar solvent bridges. We exemplify this effect with sensing, where exposure to polar vapor enhances conductivity by 5 orders of magnitude, emphasizing the crucial role of the interplay between structural motif and surrounding medium for the rational design of devices based on nanocrystalline hydrogels."}],"file":[{"date_created":"2020-06-29T14:56:40Z","checksum":"050f7f0ba5d845c5c71779ef14ad5ef3","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","file_id":"8052","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:55Z","file_name":"Manuscript 20092017_subm.pdf","file_size":1333353,"creator":"sfreunbe","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"publication":"ACS Nano","issue":"6","publisher":"ACS","author":[{"first_name":"Max","last_name":"Burian","full_name":"Burian, Max"},{"first_name":"Francesco","last_name":"Rigodanza","full_name":"Rigodanza, Francesco"},{"last_name":"Demitri","full_name":"Demitri, Nicola","first_name":"Nicola"},{"full_name":"D̵ord̵ević, Luka","last_name":"D̵ord̵ević","first_name":"Luka"},{"first_name":"Silvia","full_name":"Marchesan, Silvia","last_name":"Marchesan"},{"first_name":"Tereza","full_name":"Steinhartova, Tereza","last_name":"Steinhartova"},{"last_name":"Letofsky-Papst","full_name":"Letofsky-Papst, Ilse","first_name":"Ilse"},{"full_name":"Khalakhan, Ivan","last_name":"Khalakhan","first_name":"Ivan"},{"first_name":"Eléonore","last_name":"Mourad","full_name":"Mourad, Eléonore"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-2902-5319","first_name":"Stefan Alexander","id":"A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425","last_name":"Freunberger","full_name":"Freunberger, Stefan Alexander"},{"full_name":"Amenitsch, Heinz","last_name":"Amenitsch","first_name":"Heinz"},{"first_name":"Maurizio","last_name":"Prato","full_name":"Prato, Maurizio"},{"full_name":"Syrgiannis, Zois","last_name":"Syrgiannis","first_name":"Zois"}],"type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:12:46Z","day":"05","year":"2018","intvolume":"        12","month":"06","publication_status":"published","ddc":["540","541"],"article_type":"original","oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"ama":"Burian M, Rigodanza F, Demitri N, et al.

Key feature of our approach is the grafting of colloid surfaces with photoresponsive coumarin moieties, which allow for UV-induced, covalent clicking of colloids into permanent chains, with morphologies set by the colloid-to-tube diameter ratio. Subsequent dissolution of tube confinement yields aqueous suspensions that comprise bulk quantities of a variety of linear chains, including single helical chains of polystyrene colloids. These colloidal equivalents of chiral (DNA) molecules are intended for microscopic study of chiral dynamics on a single-particle level."}],"status":"public","issue":"12","publication":"ACS Nano"}]
