First, titanium dioxide nanowires are grown on fluorine doped tin oxide coated glass.
To find that triple point, Cobden's team stretched vanadium dioxide nanowires under a microscope.
Not exact matches
The nanowires collect sunlight, much like the light - absorbing layer on a solar panel, and the bacteria use the energy from that sunlight to carry out chemical reactions that turn carbon dioxide into a liquid fuel such as isopropanol.
Each consisted of a plasmonic gold nanowire atop a semiconducting layer of titanium dioxide.
The process works through a mixture of steps using nanowires and bacteria that work together to mimic the photosynthesis process that plants use to turn carbon dioxide into food and the byproduct, oxygen.
Berkeley Lab researchers using a bioinorganic hybrid approach to artificial photosynthesis have combined semiconducting nanowires with select microbes to create a system that produces renewable molecular hydrogen and uses it to synthesize carbon dioxide into methane, the primary constituent of natural gas.
By combining biocompatible light - capturing nanowire arrays with select bacterial populations, a potentially game - changing new artificial photosynthesis system offers a win / win situation for the environment: solar - powered green chemistry using sequestered carbon dioxide.
To prevent that, the researchers coated a gold nanowire in a manganese dioxide shell and encased the assembly in a Plexiglas - like gel electrolyte.
By combining biocompatible light - capturing nanowire arrays with select bacterial populations, the new artificial photosynthesis system offers a win / win situation for the environment: solar - powered green chemistry using sequestered carbon dioxide.
«For example, the morphology of the nanowire array protects the bacteria like Easter eggs buried in tall grass so that these usually - oxygen sensitive organisms can survive in environmental carbon - dioxide sources such as flue gases.»
Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley have created a hybrid system of semiconducting nanowires and bacteria that mimics the natural photosynthetic process by which plants use the energy in sunlight to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
The paper is titled «Nanowire - bacteria hybrids for unassisted solar carbon dioxide fixation to value - added chemicals.»
«In our system, nanowires harvest solar energy and deliver electrons to bacteria, where carbon dioxide is reduced and combined with water for the synthesis of a variety of targeted, value - added chemical products.»
