Abstract:
With a view to developing a photoanode for visible light-driven water oxidation in solar water splitting cells, pure-monoclinic WO3 nanorod crystals with N2 intercalated into the lattice were synthesized by using hydrazine with a dual functional role-as an N atom source for the in situ N2 intercalation and as a structure-directing agent for the nanorod architecture-to gain higher incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency at 420 nm than with most previously reported WO3 electrodes.

Structure and Function of Erythrocytes
The erythrocyte plasma membrane is associated with proteins such as spectrin, which forms a flexible cytoplasmic meshwork. This meshwork allows erythrocytes to twist, turn, become cup-shaped, and regain their biconcave shape as they pass through narrow capillaries. Additionally, erythrocytes can form...
