A scalable and cost-effective process is used to electroplate metallic Zn seeds on stainless steel substrates. Si and Ge nanowires (NWs) are subsequently grown by placing the electroplated substrates in the solution phase ...
It is assumed by the projects demonstrating Positive Energy District (PED) concepts in cities across Europe that citizens should want and need to be involved in the development of new energy concepts, such as PEDs for these ...

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted increasing interest as promising alternatives to lithiumion batteries (LIBs) for application in large-scale electrical energy storage systems (EESSs) owing to a wide earth-abundance, ...
Smart cities appear to be synonymous with pervasive IoT. Footfall, energy consumption, passengers availing of public transport, everything needs to be monitored, predicted and adjusted to fit pre-determined models. But ...
If you walk through Limerick’s Georgian streets and cast your eyes downward, you might notice a square object punctuating the surface of the path – a cast iron plate in a limestone frame, cut from a single block. When the ...

Herein, copper silicide (Cu15Si4) nanowires (NWs) grown in high densities from a metallic Cu
substrate are utilized as nanostructured hosts for amorphous silicon (aSi) deposition. The
conductive Cu15Si4 NW scaffolds ...
