Researchers Achieve Control over Charge State of Singlet Oxygen

A single oxygen atom can never be easily pinned down, and it is totally impossible to then manipulate electrons in that single atom to modify its charge. However, an international team of researchers led by Osaka University has reported this achievement for the first time.

Organic Porous Structures on 2D Defect Networks

NUS scientists have developed a method for self-assembly of hexagonal organic porous structures on molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) film to create ordered nanostructures. The properties of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichacogenides (TMDs) are often strongly modified by defects which are introduced during their growth process.

Optimizing the Growth of Coatings on Nanowire Catalysts

Solar energy harvested by semiconductors—materials whose electrical resistance is in between that of regular metals and insulators—can trigger surface electrochemical reactions to generate clean and sustainable fuels such as hydrogen. Highly stable and active catalysts are needed to accelerate these reactions, especially to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen.
