We explore the energetics of microwaves interacting with a double quantum dot photodiode and show wave-particle aspects in photon-assisted tunneling. The experiments show that the single-photon energy sets the relevant absorption energy in a weak-drive limit, which contrasts the strong-drive limit where the wave amplitude determines the relevant-energy scale and opens up microwave-induced bias triangles. The threshold condition between these two regimes is set by the fine-structure constant of the system. The energetics are determined here with the detuning conditions of the double dot system and stopping-potential measurements that constitute a microwave version of the photoelectric effect.

A new propulsion mechanism for nano- and microrocket engines is hypothesized. It is based on the instantaneous expulsion from hydrophobic nanopores triggered by irradiation from electromagnetic microwaves, ultrasound, or sudden pressure release. A large energy output is needed for the propulsion of a nanoparticle, and the value can be determined experimentally and by means of atomistic simulations.

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR), which is driven by electricity generated from renewable energy sources, is a promising technology for sustainably producing carbon-based chemicals or fuels. Several CORR catalysts have been explored to date, among which copper-based electrocatalysts are the most widely known for electrochemical CORR and are extensively studied for their ability to generate an array of products. Their low selectivity, however, hinders their possibility of being used for practical purposes.

In the area of esterification of heteroatomic acids, after the microwave-assisted ionic liquid-catalyzed esterification of phosphinic acids, the esterification of arylsulfonic acids was also developed applying a 14-fold excess of alcohols at 200 °C in the presence of 10% butyl-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as an additive. The esterifications were optimized, and the effect of the substituents in the aromatic ring was evaluated. At the same time, a similar procedure described by Mandal using only one equivalent of alcohol at 120 °C for 5 min in toluene was refuted.

Photo-induced Chlorophyll (Chl) triplet states in the isolated Photosystem I (PSI) of Acaryochloris marina, that harbours Chl d as its main pigment, were investigated by Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) and Time-Resolved Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (TR-EPR), and as a function of pre-illumination of the sample under reducing redox poising. Fluorescence Detected Magnetic Resonance (FDMR) allowed resolving four Chl d triplet (Chl d) populations (T-T) both in untreated and illuminated samples in the presence of ascorbate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD). The FDMR signals increased following the pre-illumination treatment, particularly for the T and T populations, which are therefore sensitive to the redox state of PSI cofactors.
