This strategy enabled systematic exploration of stable and metastable Cs–Cu–Se phases and mechanistic investigation of nucleation and growth, providing insight into phase modulation and dimensional control at the nanoscale. CsCu5Se3 NCs exhibit low lattice thermal conductivity (∼0.5 Wm–1K–1) and an experimental zT of 0.27 at 718 K. Complementary first-principles calculations, consistent with experimental electronic and optical responses, predict a zT of 1.05 at 1000 K.

Argyrodite-type Ag8SnSe6 exhibits a melt-like Ag sublattice that drives lattice thermal conductivity (κL) below 0.2 watts per meter per kelvin, yet its low carrier concentration limits the power factor. Here, interstitial Ag atoms raise the Fermi level into the conduction band, substantially increasing the electron concentration. Simultaneously, the formation of a secondary Ag2Se phase generates lattice distortions that enhance phonon scattering. A pronounced mismatch between electronic (~200 nanometers) and phononic (~0.22 nanometers) mean free paths decouples charge and heat transport, enabling concurrent suppression of κL and retention of high electrical conductivity. This coupled electronic-phononic modulation yields a record ZT of 0.72 at ambient temperature and a peak ZT of 1.1 at 735 kelvins, with an average ZTavg of 0.72 over 320 to 735 kelvins.

This strategy strongly depends on the thermodynamics and kinetics between the solid booster and dissolved redox species. Conventional electrochemical methods often convolute intrinsic reactivity with mass transport effects, introducing complexity in determining limiting steps. We propose a strategy that confines solid boosters within recessed microelectrodes and employs scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to estimate reaction kinetics between booster and dissolved active redox species. Confining the solid booster in the recessed microelectrode overcomes mass transport limitations of dissolved redox species and enables controlled polarization of the booster material, allowing deconvolution of key rate-determining factors. As an initial model system, Prussian blue-ferricyanide/ferrocyanide [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− was used as solid booster and dissolved redox active species, respectively. The methodology was further explored for copper hexacyanoferrate with N,N,N-2,2,6,6-heptamethylpiperidinyl oxy-4-ammonium chloride and nickel hydroxide with [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− and extended to Mn-based Prussian blue analogues in combination with organic redox species. Our results demonstrate that SECM coupled with the proposed recessed microelectrode strategy provides a powerful platform to disentangle interfacial kinetics and guide the rational design of solid booster-dissolved redox species and electrolytes for high-performance redox-mediated flow batteries."}],"status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","article_type":"original","citation":{"short":"C.

However, it suffers from poor cycle life associated with the rock-salt phase transformation. This study presents a straightforward synthesis approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 through a synergistic solid-state modification with LiF and AlF3. This dual modification promotes rapid Li⁺ diffusion, enables near-complete delithiation/lithiation, approaching the theoretical capacity of disordered LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, and, more importantly, effectively mitigates the formation of the rock-salt phase, thereby enhancing structural stability, as confirmed by operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD). As a result, the optimized LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (10 mg AlF3 + 30 mg LiF) delivers high reversible capacities of 142.1, 139.1, 129.2, 121.6, 110.3, 93.5, and 76.1 mAh∙g−1 at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1.0C, 2.0C, 3.0C, 4.0C, and 5.0C, respectively. Full cells using graphite as the anode and a high-loading cathode exhibit excellent cycling performance. They retain 80% of their capacity after 200 cycles at 0.5C within a voltage window of 3.5–4.9 V with cathode loading of 11 mg∙cm−2. The findings of this study will significantly advance high-power LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 materials, offering improved battery life and thereby enhancing their potential for practical applications.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","publication":"Advanced Science","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","date_created":"2025-12-21T23:01:35Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","DOAJ_listed":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Chang, Xingqi, Carlos Escudero, Ashley P.

Herein, we report a ligand-free aqueous synthesis of Te-doped CuAgSe (CuAgSe1-xTex), where structural and electronic modulation improve carrier transport and suppress phonon propagation. Ex-situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction reveals a spontaneous growth mechanism, while density functional theory calculations show that Te-5s and 5p orbitals hybridization generates localized states and an asymmetric density of states, thereby enhancing the Seebeck coefficient. Electron microscopy and strain analyses confirm that Te-doping introduces a high density of lattice dislocations and grain boundaries, leading to a reduced lattice thermal conductivity of 0.11 W m−1K−1 at 443 K. These synergistic effects translate into device-level performance—the first integrated CuAgSe thermoelectric modules, exhibit a maximum cooling temperature difference of 27.3 K, and power density of 0.34 W cm−2 with a conversion efficiency of 3.6% at a modest temperature gradient of 136 K. These results demonstrate that CuAgSe1-xTex enables efficient energy harvesting and localized cooling under small temperature gradient, underscoring the importance of structural and electronic design beyond conventional zT benchmarks.","lang":"eng"}],"external_id":{"pmid":["41470065"]},"status":"public","oa_version":"None","publication":"Small","date_created":"2026-01-11T23:01:34Z","scopus_import":"1","type":"journal_article","citation":{"chicago":"Meng, Weite, Mingquan Li, Qingyue Wang, Pingan Song, Xuan Yang, Wen Jun Wang, Min Hong, et al. “Efficient near Room Temperature Thermoelectric Cooling and Power Generation with CuAgSe.” Small.

In this study, FeCoNiMoW HEAs are synthesized into either amorphous nanosheets (HEANS) or crystalline nanoparticles (HEANP), which are then used to catalyze the lithium–sulfur (Li–S) reaction of Li–S batteries (LSBs). Evaluations in symmetric cells, coin cells, and pouch cells reveal that HEANS significantly enhance LSB performance, achieving initial discharge capacities up to 1632 mAh g−1. The batteries also exhibit excellent cycling stability over 1000 cycles at 3Cand maintain high-rate performance up to 10C with a capacity of 614 mAh g−1. Comprehensive in situ analyses and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that amorphous HEANS provide more active sites, better ionic conductivity and stronger chemical interactions with lithium polysulfides (LiPS). These properties effectively suppress the shuttle effect, promote the complete S8 → Li2S conversion by reducing the impedance of the solid-electrolyte interphase, and accelerate the Li2S4 → Li2S2 step by lowering the nucleation energy barrier. Overall, this study highlights the superior catalytic properties of amorphous 2D HEAs in LSBs and offers new insights into the mechanisms of LiPS conversion.","lang":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["001544757200001"]},"status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","issue":"5","volume":36,"month":"01","year":"2026","file_date_updated":"2026-07-23T11:40:34Z","publication_status":"published","dataavailabilitystatement":"The data that support the findings of this study are available from the cor-responding authors upon reasonable request.","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"author":[{"last_name":"He","first_name":"Ren","full_name":"He, Ren"},{"id":"BB243B88-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425","full_name":"Lee, Seungho","first_name":"Seungho","orcid":"0000-0002-6962-8598","last_name":"Lee"},{"first_name":"Yang","last_name":"Ding","full_name":"Ding, Yang"},{"full_name":"Huang, Chen","first_name":"Chen","last_name":"Huang"},{"last_name":"Lu","first_name":"Xuan","full_name":"Lu, Xuan"},{"last_name":"Zheng","first_name":"Lirong","full_name":"Zheng, Lirong"},{"first_name":"Ao","last_name":"Yu","full_name":"Yu, Ao"},{"full_name":"Zhang, Chaoyue","last_name":"Zhang","first_name":"Chaoyue"},{"full_name":"Li, Canhuang","last_name":"Li","first_name":"Canhuang"},{"full_name":"Bi, Xiaoyu","first_name":"Xiaoyu","last_name":"Bi"},{"last_name":"Li","first_name":"Yaqiang","full_name":"Li, Yaqiang"},{"full_name":"Liao, Yaqi","first_name":"Yaqi","last_name":"Liao"},{"full_name":"Li, Junshan","last_name":"Li","first_name":"Junshan"},{"last_name":"Ostovari Moghaddam","first_name":"Ahmad","full_name":"Ostovari Moghaddam, Ahmad"},{"full_name":"Yernar, Salimov","last_name":"Yernar","first_name":"Salimov"},{"full_name":"Xu, Ying","last_name":"Xu","first_name":"Ying"},{"id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","first_name":"Maria","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","last_name":"Ibáñez"},{"full_name":"Zhang, Chaoqi","first_name":"Chaoqi","last_name":"Zhang"},{"last_name":"Yang","first_name":"Linlin","full_name":"Yang, Linlin"},{"first_name":"Yingtang","last_name":"Zhou","full_name":"Zhou, Yingtang"},{"first_name":"Andreu","last_name":"Cabot","full_name":"Cabot, Andreu"}]},{"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Hydrogen induced palladium-based heterojunction electrocatalysts to enhance the oxygen reduction reaction performance","oa":1,"day":"01","researchdata_availability":"upon request","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["0009-2509"],"issn":["1873-4405"]},"PlanS_conform":"1","doi":"10.1016/j.ces.2026.123348","acknowledgement":"The authors thank the support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) (Grants No. 22302151) and Natural Science Foundation of Hubei Province (Grants No. 2024AFB755, 2024AFB267), Key Project of Hubei Provincial Department of Education Scientific Research Plan (F2023007).

Within the heterostructure, hydrogen intercalation expands the Pd lattice, while interstitial hydrogen doping facilitates charge transfer from Pd to H owing to their electronegativity difference. These synergistic effects modulate the electronic structure, thereby enhancing both activity and stability. When employed in Zn-air batteries, PdH-Pd@CN delivers a maximum power density of 176 mW cm− (Liu et al., 2025) and capacity of 805 mAh g− (Sun et al., 2021) Zn.

Although effective, these approaches alter multiple contributions to the interparticle potential simultaneously, making it difficult to isolate the interactions responsible for ordering or to control assembly in chemically complex environments. Here, we show that oligomeric species present in a nanocrystal reaction medium drive superlattice formation through a depletion mechanism. Using PbTe nanocrystals as a model system, we identify Pb–oleate oligomers in the crude reaction mixture, characterize their solution structure, and quantify their contribution to the interparticle potential, establishing depletion as the dominant short-range interaction governing spontaneous body-centered cubic superlattice formation. We then confirm the depletion origin of ordering by showing that varying depletant concentration predictably shifts the order–disorder boundary and produces a thermally reversible transition between dispersed and ordered states ─ behavior that is inconsistent with van der Waals or ligand-mediated mechanisms but is a direct consequence of depletion control. Having established and validated the mechanism, we demonstrate that the same depletion framework can be deliberately activated in purified dispersions and transferred across nanocrystal systems of different composition and shape, including anisotropic and binary assemblies. These results establish precursor-derived depletion as a general and chemically grounded mechanism for nanocrystal superlattice formation, and show that collective ordering can be programmed through the surrounding medium rather than through particle surface modification."}],"type":"journal_article","corr_author":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2026-08-04T06:29:31Z","publication":"Journal of the AmericanChemical Society","project":[{"_id":"9B8F7476-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A","name":"HighTE: The Werner Siemens Laboratory for the High Throughput Discovery of Semiconductors for Waste Heat Recovery"}],"OA_type":"hybrid","ddc":["540"],"date_updated":"2026-08-04T06:47:13Z","OA_place":"publisher","intvolume":" 148","page":"31245-31252","pmid":1,"author":[{"last_name":"Lee","orcid":"0000-0002-6962-8598","first_name":"Seungho","full_name":"Lee, Seungho","id":"BB243B88-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425"},{"id":"302BADF6-85FC-11EA-9E3B-B9493DDC885E","full_name":"Balazs, Daniel","last_name":"Balazs","first_name":"Daniel","orcid":"0000-0001-7597-043X"},{"full_name":"Rayaroth Puthiyaveettil, Aiswarya","id":"8aceb01b-8972-11ed-ae7b-d5fe53775add","last_name":"Rayaroth Puthiyaveettil","first_name":"Aiswarya"},{"first_name":"Sharona","last_name":"Horta","id":"03a7e858-01b1-11ec-8b71-99ae6c4a05bc","full_name":"Horta, Sharona"},{"first_name":"Carl Peter","orcid":"0000-0002-1307-5074","last_name":"Goodrich","id":"EB352CD2-F68A-11E9-89C5-A432E6697425","full_name":"Goodrich, Carl Peter"},{"first_name":"Michael","last_name":"Engel","full_name":"Engel, Michael"},{"id":"d03b62b2-5976-11ef-a8d7-9525504b7895","full_name":"Cherniukh, Ihor","first_name":"Ihor","last_name":"Cherniukh"},{"first_name":"Maria","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","last_name":"Ibáñez","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria"}],"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NMR"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"month":"07","volume":148,"issue":"29","publication_status":"published","file_date_updated":"2026-08-04T06:40:17Z","year":"2026","_id":"22645","date_published":"2026-07-15T00:00:00Z","quality_controlled":"1","das_tickbox":"0","publisher":"American Chemical Society","doi":"10.1021/jacs.6c07859","file":[{"file_size":6564594,"checksum":"063314ae5ac4225ebd4436aa8707d113","success":1,"file_name":"2026_JACS_Lee.pdf","file_id":"22646","date_updated":"2026-08-04T06:40:17Z","creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2026-08-04T06:40:17Z"}],"acknowledgement":"ISTA and the Werner Siemens Foundation financially supported this work.

Here, we present a mismatch-assisted microstructure engineering strategy in which Ag2Se particles are treated with polyanionic ZnSe complexes and consolidated through the β–α transition to introduce ZnSe nanoprecipitates, Ag2Se/ZnSe interfaces, and local strain fields. The crystallographic mismatch between ZnSe and Ag2Se, together with the Zn2+/Ag+ size difference, amplifies phase-transition-induced deformation and promotes high-density dislocations with periodic strain modulations. This defect architecture suppresses grain coarsening, removes excess Ag, limits Ag-interstitial formation, and reduces lattice thermal conductivity through lattice softening and multiscale phonon scattering. Ag2Se–4%ZnSe nanocomposites achieve a peak zTmax of 1.13 at 369 K and a zTavg of 1.08 from 300 to 380 K, demonstrating mismatch-driven defect engineering through the β–α phase transition as a route for optimizing Ag2Se-based thermoelectrics.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","project":[{"_id":"9B8F7476-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A","name":"HighTE: The Werner Siemens Laboratory for the High Throughput Discovery of Semiconductors for Waste Heat Recovery"}],"OA_type":"hybrid","OA_place":"publisher","intvolume":" 11","date_updated":"2026-08-19T05:53:33Z","ddc":["540"],"page":"5752-5762","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"LifeSc"},{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"MassSpec"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Liu","first_name":"Yu","orcid":"0000-0001-7313-6740","id":"2A70014E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Liu, Yu"},{"full_name":"Kleinhanns, Tobias","id":"8BD9DE16-AB3C-11E9-9C8C-2A03E6697425","orcid":"0000-0003-1537-7436","first_name":"Tobias","last_name":"Kleinhanns"},{"first_name":"Maria Chiara","last_name":"Spadaro","full_name":"Spadaro, Maria Chiara"},{"first_name":"Aziz","last_name":"Genç","full_name":"Genç, Aziz"},{"full_name":"Horta, Sharona","id":"03a7e858-01b1-11ec-8b71-99ae6c4a05bc","first_name":"Sharona","last_name":"Horta"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-7408-8197","first_name":"Navita","last_name":"Navita","full_name":"Navita, Navita","id":"6ebe278d-ba0b-11ee-8184-f34cdc671de4"},{"full_name":"Costanzo, Tommaso","id":"D93824F4-D9BA-11E9-BB12-F207E6697425","orcid":"0000-0001-9732-3815","first_name":"Tommaso","last_name":"Costanzo"},{"full_name":"Dutkiewicz, Ewelina","id":"0601cc46-c082-11ec-9b07-bb29641d1de9","last_name":"Dutkiewicz","first_name":"Ewelina"},{"first_name":"Jordi","last_name":"Arbiol","full_name":"Arbiol, Jordi"},{"first_name":"Min","last_name":"Hong","full_name":"Hong, Min"},{"full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","first_name":"Maria","last_name":"Ibáñez"}],"issue":"8","volume":11,"month":"08","year":"2026","file_date_updated":"2026-08-19T05:52:41Z","publication_status":"published"},{"file":[{"checksum":"aa531f1363538fece12ecfad83456b65","success":1,"date_updated":"2026-02-19T07:31:15Z","file_id":"21330","file_name":"2025_NanoResearch_Xiao.pdf","file_size":27740524,"date_created":"2026-02-19T07:31:15Z","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access"}],"acknowledgement":"Y.

This study presents a detailed comparative analysis of three strategies to promote the electrical transport properties of Cu3SbSe4 through Sn doping: conventional Sn atomic doping, surface treatment with SnSe molecular complexes, and blending with SnSe nanocrystals to form nanocomposites, all followed by annealing and hot pressing under identical conditions. Our results reveal that a surface treatment using SnSe molecular complexes significantly enhances TE performance over atomic doping and nanocomposite formation, achieving a power factor of 1.1 mW·m−1·K−2 and a maximum dimensionless figure of merit zT value of 0.80 at 640 K, representing an excellent performance among Cu3SbSe4-based materials produced via solution-processing methods.

Characterization techniques, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), elucidated a plausible reaction pathway for the formation of phase-pure BFO NPs. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data, in conjunction with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy, confirmed the synthesis of single-phase BFO NPs at 400 °C, displaying a space group of R3c and an average crystallite size of 25 nm. UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy revealed an absorption cut-off wavelength near 590 nm, corresponding to a band gap of 2.08 eV, indicating the capability of BFO NPs to absorb visible light within the 400–590 nm range. BFO NPs have shown efficient and rapid photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in acidic, neutral, and basic pH conditions under natural sunlight. This is attributed to the intrinsic ferroelectric and ferromagnetic ordering present in synthesized BFO NPs which facilitates the separation and migration of photoinduced charges through band bending phenomena at the interface.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","scopus_import":"1","publication":"Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology","oa_version":"None","date_created":"2024-11-17T23:01:47Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","citation":{"chicago":"Verma, Madhu, Ajay Kumar, Vijay Kumar Thakur, Akanksha Maurya, Sachin Kumar, Saurabh Singh, and Simant Kumar Srivastav. “Efficient and Rapid Sunlight-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye Using Multiferroic BiFeO3 Nanoparticles.” Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology.

However, its practical application is hindered by inherently high lattice thermal conductivity and low electrical conductivity. In this study, we address these challenges by surface functionalization of PbS nanocrystals using Cu2S molecular complexes-based ligand displacement. The molecular complexes facilitate the incorporation of Cu into the PbS matrix and leads to the formation of nanoscale defects, dislocations, and strain fields while optimizing the charge carrier transport. The structural modulations enhance the phonon scattering and lead to a significant reduction in lattice thermal conductivity of 0.60 W m−1K−1 at 867 K in the PbS-Cu2S system. Simultaneously, the Cu incorporation improves electrical conductivity by increasing both carrier concentration and mobility with carefully optimized the content of Cu2S molecular complexes. These synergistic modifications yield a peak figure-of-merit (zT) of 1.05 at 867 K for the PbS-1.0 %Cu2S sample, representing an almost twofold enhancement in TE performance compared to pristine PbS.

Nonetheless, the mechanisms by which additives influence the formation and characteristics of the inorganic solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) are not yet fully elucidated. Herein, we investigate how Zn(CF3COO)2 additives influence solvation structure and elucidate the mechanism by which these additives promote the dual reduction of anions. Through cryo-transmission electron microscopy analysis, we identified the SEI as a highly amorphous ZnS/ZnF2 phase.

Among these, Ag8SnSe6 stands out for its exceptionally low sound velocity and thermal conductivity. However, the inherent poor electrical conductivity and suboptimal thermoelectric properties of Ag8SnSe6 necessitate further improvement. Here, a novel approach is initiated to enhance the thermoelectric properties of Ag8SnSe6 by combining low-dimensionalization with intrinsic doping. For the first time, this work successfully synthesizes single-phase Ag8SnSe6 nanocrystals, ≈10 nm in size, with the correct phase and composition using a robust and reliable colloidal method. This approach represents a significant improvement over previous reports on this material. Reducing the crystal domains of Ag8SnSe6 to the nanoscale induces quantum confinement effects, increasing the density of states near the Fermi surface. It also introduces additional grain boundaries, which lower the lattice thermal conductivity and simplify structural design. Moreover, incorporating small amounts of Sn nanopowder into the Ag8SnSe6 nanocrystals before consolidation further enhances the thermoelectric performance. Sn acts as a donor dopant, increasing the electronic concentration while at the same time improving their mobility by reducing interface barriers, thus significantly improving the material transport properties. Additionally, the presence of Sn leads to the formation of point defects, dislocations, and secondary phases, which increase phonon scattering and further reduce the thermal conductivity. Through this synergistic optimization, the figure of merit shows a significant increase across a wide temperature range. Overall, a strategy is presented for the controlled preparation of Ag8SnSe6 nanocrystals, the decoupling of their electrical and thermal transport, and the practical application of this material to thermoelectric single-leg modules.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","oa_version":"None","publication":"Advanced Functional Materials","scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2025-01-26T23:01:50Z"},{"page":"10521-10529","author":[{"last_name":"Hasler","first_name":"Roger","full_name":"Hasler, Roger"},{"full_name":"Livio, Pietro A.","last_name":"Livio","first_name":"Pietro A."},{"first_name":"Anil","last_name":"Bozdogan","full_name":"Bozdogan, Anil"},{"full_name":"Fossati, Stefan","first_name":"Stefan","last_name":"Fossati"},{"last_name":"Hageneder","first_name":"Simone","full_name":"Hageneder, Simone"},{"full_name":"Montes-García, Verónica","last_name":"Montes-García","first_name":"Verónica"},{"full_name":"Movilli, Jacopo","first_name":"Jacopo","last_name":"Movilli"},{"last_name":"Moazzenzade","first_name":"Taghi","full_name":"Moazzenzade, Taghi"},{"full_name":"Loohuis, Luna","last_name":"Loohuis","first_name":"Luna"},{"full_name":"Reiner-Rozman, Ciril","last_name":"Reiner-Rozman","first_name":"Ciril"},{"first_name":"Adrián","last_name":"Tamayo","full_name":"Tamayo, Adrián"},{"full_name":"Fiedler, Christine","id":"bd3fceba-dc74-11ea-a0a7-c17f71817366","last_name":"Fiedler","first_name":"Christine"},{"id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","first_name":"Maria","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","last_name":"Ibáñez"},{"last_name":"Kleber","first_name":"Christoph","full_name":"Kleber, Christoph"},{"full_name":"Huskens, Jurriaan","first_name":"Jurriaan","last_name":"Huskens"},{"last_name":"Dostalek","first_name":"Jakub","full_name":"Dostalek, Jakub"},{"first_name":"Paolo","last_name":"Samorì","full_name":"Samorì, Paolo"},{"full_name":"Knoll, Wolfgang","last_name":"Knoll","first_name":"Wolfgang"}],"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"volume":25,"issue":"7","month":"04","year":"2025","file_date_updated":"2025-12-30T07:59:13Z","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"mla":"Hasler, Roger, et al. “Dual Electronic and Optical Monitoring of Biointerfaces by a Grating-Structured Coplanar-Gated Field-Effect Transistor.” IEEE Sensors Journal, vol. 25, no. 7, IEEE, 2025, pp. 10521–29, doi:10.1109/jsen.2025.3533113.","short":"R.

This platform combines a coplanar-gated field-effect transistor (FET) architecture with grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance (SPR), yielding an integrated disposable sensor chip prepared by nanoimprint and maskless photolithography techniques. The sensor chip design is suitable for scalable production and relies on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), serving as the FET’s semiconductor material for the electronic readout, and a metallic gate electrode surface that is corrugated with a multi-diffractive structure for optical probing with resonantly excited surface plasmons. Together with its integration in a compact instrumentation this results in a form factor optimized solution for dual-mode investigations without compromising the optical or electronic sensor performance. A poly-L-lysine (PLL) – based thin linker layer was deployed at the sensor surface to covalently attach azide-conjugated biomolecules by using incorporated “clickable” dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) moieties. Interestingly, the dual-mode measurements allow elucidating the role of the globular nature of the PLL chains when increasing the density of DBCO attached to their backbone, leading to PLL folding and internalization of DBCO moieties, and thus reducing the coupling yield for the used DNA oligomers. We envision that this platform can be employed to studying a range of other biointerface architectures and biomolecular interaction phenomena, which are inherently tied to mass and charge density variations."}],"OA_type":"hybrid","intvolume":" 25","OA_place":"publisher","ddc":["540"],"date_updated":"2026-02-16T11:50:01Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1558-1748"],"issn":["1530-437X"]},"PlanS_conform":"1","day":"01","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Dual electronic and optical monitoring of biointerfaces by a grating-structured coplanar-gated field-effect transistor","oa":1,"_id":"19037","quality_controlled":"1","date_published":"2025-04-01T00:00:00Z","acknowledgement":"We thank the Electron Microscopy Facility at ISTA for their support with sputter coating the FO probes and NOSI GmbH for their support with 3D printing.","file":[{"file_name":"2025_IEEESensor_Hasler.pdf","file_id":"20887","date_updated":"2025-12-30T07:59:13Z","success":1,"checksum":"9cdd4017025a3add6198ed84798319e8","file_size":2214584,"content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2025-12-30T07:59:13Z","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file"}],"isi":1,"doi":"10.1109/jsen.2025.3533113","publisher":"IEEE"}]
