Electrochemical behavior of self-assembled DNA–gold nanoparticle lattice films
10.1016/j.elecom.2018.04.001 2018-04-05 Electrochemical processes involving self-assembled nanoparticles are currently the subject of intense research. In most studies nanoparticles are drop-cast onto an insulating barrier; however, this method has a considerable drawback in that it does not offer ... |

Quantifying the turnover frequency for ethanol electro-oxidation on polycrystalline Pt in acid and alkaline media
10.1016/j.elecom.2018.03.008 2018-03-17 The turnover frequency (TOF) is conventionally used to measure activity in catalysis but is rarely used in electro-catalysis, which uses the value of the interfacial current instead. Herein, a procedure to quantify the TOF for the ethanol oxidation reaction (... |

An all-solid-state Li-organic battery with quinone-based polymer cathode and composite polymer electrolyte
10.1016/j.elecom.2018.03.006 2018-03-14 Despite having promising Li storage properties such as multielectron reactions and fast kinetics, organic electrode materials exhibit poor cycling stability, which is partly caused by their tendency to dissolve in liquid electrolytes. In this work, an all-sol... |
