Robust and Self-Cleaning Electrochemical Production of Periodate.

Periodate, a platform oxidizer, can be electrochemically recycled in a self-cleaning process. Electrosynthesis of periodate is well established at boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes. However, recovered iodate and other iodo species for recycling can contain traces of organic impurities from previous applications.

Permanent Electrochemical Doping of Quantum Dot Films through Photopolymerization of Electrolyte Ions.

Quantum dots (QDs) are considered for devices like light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors as a result of their tunable optoelectronic properties. To utilize the full potential of QDs for optoelectronic applications, control over the charge carrier density is vital. However, controlled electronic doping of these materials has remained a long-standing challenge, thus slowing their integration into optoelectronic devices.
