In addition to its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities indigoidine due to its stability and deep blue color can find an application as an industrial, environmentally friendly dye. Moreover, similarly to its counterpart regular indigo dye, due to its molecular structure, indigoidine is an organic semiconductor. Fully conjugated aromatic moiety and intermolecular hydrogen bonding of indigoidine result in an unusually narrow bandgap for such a small molecule. This, in its turn, result is tight molecular packing in the solid state and opens a path for a wide range of application in organic and bio-electronics, such as electrochemical and field effect transistors, organic solar cells, light and bio-sensors etc.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"01","doi":"10.1016/j.dyepig.2019.107768","volume":171},{"day":"25","doi":"10.1021/acsnano.9b00346","abstract":[{"text":"Methodologies that involve the use of nanoparticles as “artificial atoms” to rationally build materials in a bottom-up fashion are particularly well-suited to control the matter at the nanoscale.

We present here a bottom-up approach to produce Pb–Ag–K–S–Te nanocomposites, which is a highly promising system for thermoelectric energy conversion. First, we developed a high-yield and scalable colloidal synthesis route to uniform lead sulfide (PbS) nanorods, whose tips are made of silver sulfide (Ag2S). We then took advantage of the large surface-to-volume ratio to introduce a p-type dopant (K) by replacing native organic ligands with K2Te. Upon thermal consolidation, K2Te-surface modified PbS–Ag2S nanorods yield p-type doped nanocomposites with PbTe and PbS as major phases and Ag2S and Ag2Te as embedded nanoinclusions. Thermoelectric characterization of such consolidated nanosolids showed a high thermoelectric figure-of-merit of 1 at 620 K.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2019","citation":{"ista":"Ibáñez M, Genç A, Hasler R, Liu Y, Dobrozhan O, Nazarenko O, Mata M de la, Arbiol J, Cabot A, Kovalenko MV. 2019.

This mechanism typically results in pyramidal structures, but we demonstrate here that the growth from multiple dislocations results in flower-like structures. Crystallographically textured SnSe2 bulk nanomaterials obtained from the hot pressing of these SnSe2 structures display highly anisotropic charge and heat transport properties and thermoelectric (TE) figures of merit limited by relatively low electrical conductivities. To improve this parameter, SnSe2 NPLs are blended here with metal nanoparticles.
