ABSTRACT: For the researchers' complete publication ACS NanoLetters, go here. Direct solar-powered production of value-added chemicals from CO2 and H2O, a process that mimics natural photosynthesis, is of fundamental and practical interest. In natural photosynthesis, CO2 is first reduced to common biochemical building blocks using solar energy, which are subsequently used … [Read more...] about Artificial Photosynthesis: Chemical Synthesis Powered by Sunlight 2015-068

Local, Nonvolatile Doping of Two-Dimensional Materials 2014-097
For electronics manufacturing companies that plan to use electrostatic gating and substitutional doping to induce charge carriers in two-dimensional (2D) materials but are dissatisfied with the inability of these methods to produce nonvolatile doping profiles with nanometer resolution. Berkeley Lab’s Local Doping of Two-Dimensional Materials offers a process for locally doping … [Read more...] about Local, Nonvolatile Doping of Two-Dimensional Materials 2014-097
