Metal-free photoanodes for C–H functionalization
Nature Communications, 2023 Organic semiconductors, such as carbon nitride, when employed as powders, show attractive photocatalytic properties, but their photoelectrochemical performance suffers from low charge transport capability, charge carrier recombination, and self-oxidation.

Aggregation effects on the magnetic properties of iron oxide colloids
Nanotechnology, 2019 Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and in particular iron oxide nanoparticles (mainly magnetite and maghemite), are being widely used in the form of aqueous colloids for biomedical applications. In such colloids, nanoparticles tend to form assemblies, either

Thermodynamic perturbation theory for self assembling mixtures of multi - patch colloids and colloids with spherically symmetric attractions [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2013, 9, 11346, 2013 In this paper we extend our previous theory [B. D. Marshall and W.G. Chapman, J. Chem. Phys. 139, 104904 (2013)] for mixtures of single patch colloids (p colloids) and colloids with spherically symmetric attractions (s colloids) to the case that the p colloids can have multiple patches.

Different pathways for engulfment and endocytosis of liquid droplets by nanovesicles
Nature Communications, 2023 In this work, the authors investigate on how condensate droplets, arising from liquid-liquid phase separation, can be engulfed by nanovesicles via distinct pathways, leading to different vesicle-droplet morphologies.

Assembly of open clusters of colloidal dumbbells via droplet evaporation [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 93, 052609 (2016), 2016 We investigate the behavior of a mixture of asymmetric colloidal dumbbells and emulsion droplets by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The evaporation of the droplets and the competition between droplet-colloid attraction and colloid-colloid interactions leads to the formation of clusters built up of colloid aggregates with both closed and open ...

Phoretic Interactions Generically Induce Dynamic Clusters and Wave Patterns in Active Colloids. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 We introduce a representative minimal model for phoretically interacting active colloids. Combining kinetic theory, linear stability analyses, and a general relation between self-propulsion and phoretic interactions in autodiffusiophoretic and ...
