We review charge transport across molecular monolayers, which is central to molecular
electronics (MolEl), using large-area junctions (NmJ). We strive to provide a wide conceptual …

Since the first report of thiol-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) 30 years ago, these
structures have been examined in a huge variety of applications. The oxidative and thermal …

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 provides an opportunity to store renewable energy as
fuels with much greater energy densities than batteries. Product selectivity of the reduction …

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is an emerging anchor moiety for surface engineering and
various applications. While various deposition conditions have been reported, how these …

Unimolecular electronics (UME) narrowly defined (sensu stricto), 1 or molecular-scale
electronics, 2 is the study of electrical processes measured or controlled on a molecular …

Triboelectric charging involves frictional contact of two different materials, and their contact
electrification usually relies on polarity difference in the triboelectric series. This limits the …
