The project 2012/02655-1 focuses on investigating low-dimensional electro-optical semiconductor nanostructures, specifically resonant tunneling devices (RTDs) and light-emitting diodes. Collaborations between the Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar) and Technical Physics at Würzburg University aim to enhance research on quantum transport phenomena, with preliminary findings indicating significant effects of confinement and strain topology on device performance.
Concurrently, researchers from Tianjin University have developed platinum catalysts supported on various oxides to optimize liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) dehydrogenation. Results show a correlation between platinum d electron density and catalytic activity, with Pt/MgO demonstrating the highest efficiency. This dual research effort highlights the potential for technological advancements in both nano-scale devices and hydrogen storage solutions.
