The strategic field of renewable energy production and storage requires novel nanoscale platforms that can feature competitive solar energy conversion properties. Photochemical reactions that promote energy storage, such as water splitting and oxygen-hydrogen evolution reactions, play a crucial role in this context. Here, we demonstrate a novel photoelectrochemical device based on large-area (cm) self-organized Au nanowire (NW) arrays, uniformly coated with ultrathin TiO films.

- Novel methods for light harvesting are essential for developing renewable energy technologies to tackle global environmental challenges.
- Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductor layers show promise for these applications, but their low photon absorption necessitates innovative designs.
- The proposed strategy involves ultra-thin MoS layers on patterned templates that enhance photon confinement, leading to more efficient photodissociation of pollutants like methylene blue and improved energy conversion efficiency in various applications.
Article Synopsis
- The study created a scoring system called the FRIDA score to figure out how likely patients would be to walk independently after rehabilitation.
- Researchers looked at data from over 8,000 patients who had various health issues and found that 34.4% left the rehab needing help to walk.
- The FRIDA score worked well in predicting walking ability and could help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients with different disabilities.
A complex processing chain is applied from the moment a raw image is acquired until the final image is obtained. This process transforms the originally Poisson-distributed noise into a complex noise model. Noise inconsistency analysis is a rich source for forgery detection, as forged regions have likely undergone a different processing pipeline or out-camera processing.

Nanofabrication of flat optic silica gratings conformally layered with two-dimensional (2D) MoS is demonstrated over large area (cm), achieving a strong amplification of the photon absorption in the active 2D layer. The anisotropic subwavelength silica gratings induce a highly ordered periodic modulation of the MoS layer, promoting the excitation of Guided Mode Anomalies (GMA) at the interfaces of the 2D layer. We show the capability to achieve a broadband tuning of these lattice modes from the visible (VIS) to the near-infrared (NIR) by simply tailoring the illumination conditions and/or the period of the lattice.
