At IMM-CNR Catania we use the plasmonic properties of noble metal nanoparticles (Au or Pt) to improve the photo-electro catalytic activity of n-type 3C-SiC/p-type Si heterojunction solar cells, to be used as photocathode for hydrogen generation from water.
CNR-IMM has been rewarded with the Best paper award at the conference Biosensors 2018, held in Miami (FL, USA) from the 12th to the 15th of June, with the paper “Integrating printed microfluidics with silicon
