Ozone-based water treatment is widely used to remove pollutants, odors, color, and pathogens, yet one of its most important chemical engines has remained uncertain: how efficiently ozone reactions ...

Electron transfer is enhanced by minimal energetic driving force at the organic-semiconductor interface in upconversion (UC) organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), resulting in efficient blue UC-OLEDs ...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) encompasses reactions in which the movement of an electron is directly linked to the transfer of a proton. This coupling can proceed by sequential ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions play a vital role in a wide range of chemical and biological processes. Recent advances in the theory of PCET will be presented. The quantum ...

The findings deepen the understanding of electron transfer from CT to T1 state, paving the way toward efficient optoelectronic devices. Electron transfer is an elementary process in which an electron ...
