A fuel cell catalyst, including: one or more substantially monodisperse nanocrystals, wherein the one or more substantially monodisperse nanocrystals include an octahedral morphology or nanocrystal geometry including eight exclusively exposed {101} facets. In embodiments, a cathode including the fuel cell catalyst is also provided, including methods of making the fuel cell catalyst.

Alkaline fuel cell electrode catalyst, alkaline fuel cell, and methods of making and using an electrode catalyst

Hyperspectral resonant cavity imaging spectrometers and imaging systems incorporating the resonant cavity spectrometers are provided. The spectrometers include an array of photodetectors based on photosensitive semiconductor nanomembranes disposed between two dielectric spacers, each of the dielectric spacers having a thickness gradient along a lateral direction, such that the resonant cavity height differs for different photodetectors in the array.

Compact hyperspectral spectrometers based on semiconductor nanomembranes

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for passively cooling water vapor to enable efficient condensation, and methods of making such systems. A passive cooler can include a thermally conductive substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, a coating disposed on at least a portion of the first side of the substrate, and a housing having one or more insulative walls. The insulative walls may define a vapor flow channel from an inlet to an outlet of the housing such that the second side of the substrate is exposed to water vapor flowing through the vapor flow channel.

Systems and methods for passive cooling and radiator for same

Optoelectronic devices that use very thin single-crystalline inorganic semiconductor films as phonon-absorbing layers in combination with non-lattice optical cavities are provided.
