Luminescent imaging films () for fluorescent enhancement and methods of making and using the same are provided. The films () include a flexible carrier layer (, and a pattern of photonic structure () disposed on the flexible carrier layer, which is interspersed with an anti-biofouling material () to provide a pattern of analyte sites (). The pattern of photonic structure includes a patterned high-refractive-index dielectric material surface () so as to provide resonance at the excitation or emission wavelength to enhance a fluorescence signal from labeled analytes.

Fluorescence enhancement films for luminescent imaging

Catalyst comprising an Ir layer having an outer layer with a layer comprising Pt directly thereon, wherein the Ir layer has an average thickness in a range from 0.04 to 30 nanometers, wherein the layer comprising Pt has an average thickness in a range from 0.04 to 50 nanometers, and wherein the Pt and Ir are present in an atomic ratio in a range from 0.01:1 to 10:1. Catalysts described herein are useful, for example, in fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies.

Catalyst

Catalysts comprising a Ta layer having an outer layer with a layer comprising Pt directly thereon, wherein the Ta layer has an average thickness in a range from 0.04 to 30 nanometers, wherein the layer comprising Pt has an average thickness in a range from 0.04 to 50 nanometers, and wherein the Pt and Ta are present in an atomic ratio in a range from 0.01:1 to 10:1. Catalyst described herein are useful, for example, in fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies.

An article is provided that includes a substrate, a silicon containing layer on the substrate, and a layer including metallic Pt on the silicon containing layer. The silicon containing layer is a diamond-like glass layer. Optionally, the substrate is a porous membrane. In some cases, the silicon containing layer is a continuous layer.

Fluorinated membrane articles

Catalyst comprising a first layer having an outer layer with a layer comprising Pt directly thereon, wherein the first layer has an average thickness in a range from 0.04 to 30 nanometers, and wherein the layer. Catalysts described herein are useful, for example, in fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies.
