Work function of a material is typically known to be independent of light intensity based on our present understanding. However, the team has discovered a special case where there is a ‘light-intensity dependent’ change in work2 March 2018Read MoreA Mechanoresponsive Phase-Changing Electrolyte Enables Fabrication of High-Output Solid-State Photobioelectrochemical Devices from Pigment-Protein Multilayers.A Mechanoresponsive Phase-Changing Electrolyte Enables Fabrication of High-Output Solid-State Photobioelectrochemical Devices from Pigment-Protein Multilayers. Natural photosynthetic proteins have many attractions as materials for new solar technologies but they also have limitations in terms of stability. Solid state architectures have the potential to overcome these limitations but it had been challenging to fabricate effective interfaces with18 December 2017Read MoreFirst891011Last
