The combination of metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) with colloidal lithography has emerged as a simple and cost-effective approach to nanostructure silicon. It is especially efficient at synthesizing Si micro- and nanowire arrays using a catalytic metal mesh, which sinks into the silicon substrate during the etching process. The approach provides a precise control over the array geometry, without requiring expensive nanopatterning techniques. Although MACE is a high-throughput solution-based approach, achieving large-scale homogeneity can be challenging because of the instability of the metal catalyst when the experimental parameters are not set appropriately. Such instabilities can lead to metal film fracture, significantly damaging the substrate and thus compromising the nanowire array quality. Here, we report on the critical parameters that influence the stability of the metal catalyst layer for achieving large-scale homogeneous MACE etchant composition, metal film thickness, adhesion layer thickness, nanowire diameter and pitch, metal film coverage, Si/Au/etchant interface length, and crystalline quality of the colloidal template (grain size and defects). Our results investigate the origin of the catalyst film fracture and reveal that MACE experiments should be optimized for each Si wire array geometry by keeping the etch rate below a certain threshold. We show that the Si/Au/etchant interface length also affects the etch rate and should thus be considered when optimizing the MACE experimental parameters. Finally, our results demonstrate that colloidal templates with small grain sizes (i.e., less then 100 μm2) can yield significant problems during the pattern transfer because of a high density of defects at the grain boundaries that negatively affects the metal film stability. As such, this work provides guidelines for the large-scale synthesis of Si micro- and nanowire arrays via MACE, relevant for both new and experienced researchers working with MACE.The typical synthesis protocol for blue-emitting CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) yields particles with extended lateral dimensions and large surface areas, resulting in NPLs with poor photoluminescence quantum efficiency. We have developed a synthesis protocol that achieves an improved control over the lateral size, by exploiting a series of long-chained carboxylate precursors that vary from cadmium octanoate (C8) to cadmium stearate (C18). The length of this metallic precursor is key to tune the width and aspect ratio of the final NPLs, and for the shorter chain lengths, the synthesis yield is improved. NPLs prepared with our procedure possess significantly enhanced photoluminescence quantum efficiencies, up to 30%. This is likely due to their reduced lateral dimensions, which also grant them good colloidal stability. As the NPL width can be tuned below the bulk exciton Bohr radius, the band edge blue-shifts, and we constructed a sizing curve relating the NPL absorption position and width. Further adjusting the synthesis protocol, we were able to obtain even thinner NPLs, emitting in the near-UV region, with a band-edge quantum efficiency of up to 11%. Results pave the way to stable and efficient light sources for applications such as blue and UV light-emitting devices and lasers.Surface-based biosensing devices benefit from a dedicated design of the probe layer present at the transducing interface. The layer architecture, its physicochemical properties, and the embedding of the receptor sites affect the probability of binding the analyte. Here, the enhancement of the probe density at the sensing interface by tuning the exponential growth regime of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) is presented. PEMs were made of poly-l-lysine (PLL), with appended clickable dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) groups and oligo(ethylene glycol) chains, and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS). The DNA probe loading and target hybridization efficiencies of the PEMs were evaluated as a function of the PLL layer number and the growth regime by a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). An amplification factor of 25 in the target DNA detection was found for a 33-layer exponentially grown PEM compared to a monolayer. A Voigt-based model showed that DNA probe binding to the DBCO groups is more efficient in the open, exponentially grown films, while the hybridization efficiencies appeared to be high for all layer architectures. These results show the potential of such engineered gel-like structures to increase the detection of bio-relevant analytes in biosensing systems.Poly(methylvinylsiloxane) (V3 polymer) obtained by kinetically controlled anionic ring-opening polymerization of 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-trivinylcyclotrisiloxane was cross-linked with various amounts of 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4H) in w/o high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). PolyHIPEs thus prepared differed in the polymer cross-linking degree, which affected their porous morphology and total porosity. The obtained V3 polymer-based polyHIPEs were applied as matrices for the incorporation of Pd from the Pd(OAc)2 solution in tetrahydrofuran. This process involved the conversion of Si-H groups remaining in the polymer networks and resulted in the formation of crystalline, metallic Pd in the systems. Mean sizes of the generated Pd crystallites were lower in polyHIPEs of higher than in those of lower polymer cross-linking degrees and porosities (∼5 nm vs ∼8 nm, respectively). The Pd-containing polyHIPEs showed activity in catalytic hydrogenation of the triple carbon-carbon bond in phenylacetylene giving the unsaturated product, styrene with a selectivity of ca. 80%. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/iacs-13909.html To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work devoted to polysiloxane-based polyHIPEs with dispersed metallic particles.Mining complex data in the form of networks is of increasing interest in many scientific disciplines. Network communities correspond to densely connected subnetworks, and often represent key functional parts of real-world systems. This paper proposes the embedding-based Silhouette community detection (SCD), an approach for detecting communities, based on clustering of network node embeddings, i.e. real valued representations of nodes derived from their neighborhoods. We investigate the performance of the proposed SCD approach on 234 synthetic networks, as well as on a real-life social network. Even though SCD is not based on any form of modularity optimization, it performs comparably or better than state-of-the-art community detection algorithms, such as the InfoMap and Louvain. Further, we demonstrate that SCD's outputs can be used along with domain ontologies in semantic subgroup discovery, yielding human-understandable explanations of communities detected in a real-life protein interaction network. Being embedding-based, SCD is widely applicable and can be tested out-of-the-box as part of many existing network learning and exploration pipelines.
