As
such, this new synthetic route to oxide nanoparticles also shows great promise for a multitude of other catalytic, electrical, magnetic, or
electrochemical processes, from novel cathodes to solution preparation of other types of ceramic materials.
The system uses a novel method, relying on an
electrochemical process to selectively remove organic contaminants
such as pesticides, chemical waste products, and pharmaceuticals, even when these are present in small yet dangerous concentrations.
The new method relies on an
electrochemical process to selectively remove organic contaminants
such as pesticides, chemical waste products, and pharmaceuticals.
Understanding these effects is also important for other applications
such as splitting water molecules to produce hydrogen at solid - liquid interfaces, electronic devices that rely on oxide - oxide interfaces, or other
electrochemical processes using these materials as catalysts, where defects serve as the sites that enable the interactions.
The innovative aspect of this activity was the notion that the concept of macroscopic devices could be extended to the molecular level, and that it was possible to design supramolecular systems that, upon stimulation with external energy stimuli
such as UV / Visible light, are capable of performing a variety of specific functions: (i) systems for information
processing (e.g., wires, switches, antennas, plug / socket systems, extension cables, memories, logic gates, encoder / decoder, rudimentary neuron - like systems), (ii) devices that when powered by chemical energy or
electrochemical energy or by light exhibit machine - like behavior (e.g., piston / cylinder systems, shuttles, lifts, rotary rings, dendritic photo - switchable boxes), and (iii) components for artificial photosynthetic systems.
