This review is an update on tris (trimethylsilyl) silane, TTMSS, in organic chemistry, focusing
on the advancements of the past decade. The overview includes a wide range of chemical …

The sp3-hybridized group 14 graphane analogues are a unique family of 2D materials in
which every atom requires a terminal ligand for stability. Consequently, the optical …

Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are biologically compatible, metal-free quantum dots that
exhibit size and surface tailorable photoluminescence. The nanostructure of these materials …

The presence of a natural silicon oxide (SiO x) layer over the surface of silicon (Si) has been
a roadblock for hybrid semiconductor and organic electronics technology. The presence of …

Effective charge carrier‐selective contacts are a crucial component of high‐performance
crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells. Organic materials deposited via self‐assembly on the c …

Covalent alkene addition to silicon (Si) nanocrystals typically requires high temperature, UV
light, or a radical initiator. Here, we show that hydride-terminated Si nanocrystals with …

The chemical transformations taking place during many of the reactions of the Si surface
have been well documented, but the in situ dynamics of the reactions remain largely …

The synthesis of germanium nanomaterials with well-defined surface chemistry is of
considerable interest because of not only general scientific curiosity but also their vast …

The chemovoltaic effect–generation of electronic excitation by exergonic redox reactions–
has been observed on metallic surfaces of Schottky junctions and is proving to be pivotal in …

Adsorption on metal surfaces has been shown to lead to chemisorption induced electronic
excitation but direct experimental evidence of chemisorption induced excitation on …
