Abstract
Highly-dispersed Ru-based perovskites supported on reduced graphene oxide (A-RG) nanocomposites are prepared using different A-metal salts (Sr(NO3)2, Ba(NO3)2 and Ca(NO3)2). The procedure is based on a redox reaction between the metal precursors and graphene oxide (GO) using two different routes of reaction initiation: through thermal heating or by microwave-assisted heating. The resulting nanocomposites do not require further calcination, making this method less energy-demanding. In addition, no additional chemical reagents are required for either the GO reduction or the metal precursor oxidation, leading to an overall simple and direct synthesis method. The structure and morphology of the as-prepared A-RG (non-calcined) nanocomposites are characterized using various structural analyses including XRD, XPS, SEM/EDX and HR-TEM. Changing metal A in the perovskite as well as the “activation method” resulted in significant structural and morphological changes of the formed composites. SrRuO3 and BaRuO3 in combination with RuO2 are obtained using a conventional combustion method, while SrRuO3 (~1 nm size) in combination with Ru nanoparticles are successfully prepared using microwave irradiation. For the first time, a microwave-assisted synthesis method (without calcination) was used to form crystalline nano-CaRuO3.

Abstract
Nano-Ru-based perovskites RGO are prepared simultaneously in presence of various A-metal salts (A = Sr, Ba or Ca salts) using two different methods for reaction initiation. No further calcination step is needed for the formation of well-defined perovskite structure. Graphene oxide (GO) is used as a fuel to prepare various Ru-based perovskites for the first time. The resulted low-Ru content nanocomposites are used as supercapacitor electrodes in a neutral electrolyte (1.0 M NaNO3). The results show that the specific capacitance of the resulted nanocomposites strongly depends on the method of their preparation as well as the type of A-site of the nanocomposites. Ru-based perovskites RGO nanocomposites that are prepared by combustion method show higher specific capacitance than those prepared by microwave irradiation. The maximum specific capacitance of Sr-, Ba- and Ca-RG-C composites at scan rate 2 mV s-1 are 564 (598 mF cm-2), 460 (487 mF cm-2) and 316 (336 mF cm-2) F g-1, respectively. This value is higher than our previous work using a physical mixture between the individually prepared RGO and SrRuO3. Lowest values for specific capacitance are obtained when using CaRuO3/RGO prepared using microwave-assisted method (Ca-RG-M). The resulted A-RG-nanocomposites show very high cycling stability and good specific capacitance compared to other Ru-based structures previously reported in the literature. A correlation is defined between the structure and specific capacitance of the nanocomposites. It is confirmed that the nanocomposite size, morphology and distribution over the RGO matrix influence the supercapacitor characteristics.

Abstract
Focusing on two-dimensional (2D) Janus MoSSe monolayers, we show that simultaneously existing in-plane and out-of-plane intrinsic electric fields cause Zeeman- and Rashba-type spin splitting, respectively. In MoSSe van der Waals (vdW) structures, intrinsic electric field results in a large interlayer band offset. Therefore, large interlayer band offset, being the driving force for interlayer excitons, endows ultralong lifetimes to excitons and might dissociate excitons into free carriers. In comparison to its parent structure (i.e., MoS2), MoSSe vdW structures are rather appealing for new concepts in light-electricity interconversion. In addition, the Rashba effects could be tuned by changing the interlayer distances due to the competition between the intralayer and interlayer electric field. Due to the large band offset, valley polarization relaxation is markedly reduced, promising enhanced valley polarization and ultralong valley lifetimes. As a result, MoSSe vdW structures harbor strong valley-contrasting physics, making them competitive systems to their parent structures.

Abstract
A dye-sensitized solar module (DSSM) and a high voltage all-solid-state electrochemical double layer capacitor (EDLC) are, for the first time, implemented in a compact Harvesting-Storage (HS) device. Conductive glass is employed as current collecting substrate for both DSSM and EDLC, leading to a robust and portable final structure. The photovoltaic section is constituted by a 4 series cells W-type module, while in the storage section an EDLC employing an ionic liquid-based polymeric electrolyte (a mixture of polyethylene oxide and N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, PEO-Pyr14TFSI) and activated carbon electrodes is used. The solid state EDLC is first characterized individually to determine its electrochemical performance before successfully proving the integration with the DSSM. The harvesting-storage properties of the integrated photo-capacitor are evaluated through photo-charge and subsequent discharge protocols performed at two different discharge currents, showing that in this configuration the EDLC unit can be effectively charged up to 2.45 V.

Abstract
Conductive polymers are of great importance in a variety of chemistry-related disciplines and applications. The recently developed bottom-up on-surface synthesis strategy provides us with opportunities for the fabrication of various nanostructures in a flexible and facile manner, which could be investigated by high-resolution microscopic techniques in real space. Herein, we designed and synthesized molecular precursors functionalized with benzal gem-dibromomethyl groups. A combination of scanning tunneling microscopy, noncontact atomic force microscopy, high-resolution synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations demonstrated that it is feasible to achieve the direct formation of C-C double-bonded structural motifs via on-surface dehalogenative homocoupling reactions on the Au(111) surface. Correspondingly, we convert the sp3-hybridized state to an sp2-hybridized state of carbon atoms, i. e., from an alkyl group to an alkenyl one. Moreover, by such a bottom-up strategy, we have successfully fabricated poly(phenylenevinylene) chains on the surface, which is anticipated to inspire further studies toward understanding the nature of conductive polymers at the atomic scale.

Abstract
Improving the efficiency of Pt-based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts while also reducing costs remains an important challenge in energy research. To this end, we synthesized highly stable and active carbon-supported Mo-doped PtCu (Mo-PtCu/C) nanoparticles (NPs) from readily available precursors in a facile one-pot reaction. Mo-PtCu/C displays two-to-fourfold-higher ORR half-cell kinetics than reference PtCu/C and Pt/C materials, a trend that was confirmed in proof-of-concept experiments by using a H2 /O2 microlaminar fuel cell. This Mo-induced activity increase mirrors observations for Mo-PtNi/C NPs and possibly suggests an emerging trend. Electrochemical-accelerated stability tests revealed that dealloying was greatly reduced in Mo-PtCu/C in contrast to the binary alloys PtCu/C and PtMo/C. Supporting DFT studies suggested that the exceptional stability of Mo-PtCu could be attributed to oxidative resistance of the Mo-doped atoms. Furthermore, our calculations revealed that oxygen could induce segregation of Mo to the catalytic surface, at which it effected beneficial changes to the surface oxygen adsorption energetics in the context of the Sabatier principle.

Abstract
Electrochemical measurements including impedance spectroscopy and in situ scanning tunneling microscopy were performed to study the interface between solid electrodes and ionic liquids. We could reveal that the double layer rearrangement processes are not instantaneous, but that the ions can form ordered clusters at the interface.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal functioning of the lower extremities under repeated movements on unstable surfaces is essential for military effectiveness. Intervention training to promote proprioceptive ability should be considered in order to limit the risk for musculoskeletal injuries. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a proprioceptive intervention programme on static and dynamic postural balance among Israel Defense Forces combat soldiers. METHODS Twenty-seven male soldiers, aged 18-20 years, from a physical fitness instructor's course, were randomly divided into two groups matched by age and army unit. The intervention group (INT) underwent 4 weeks of proprioceptive exercises for 10 min daily; the control group underwent 4 weeks of upper body stretching exercises for 10 min daily. All participants were tested pre and postintervention for both static and dynamic postural balance. RESULTS Significant interaction (condition*pre-post-test*group) was found for static postural balance, indicating that for the INT group, in condition 3 (on an unstable surface-BOSU), the post-test result was significantly better compared with the pretest result (p<0.05). Following intervention, the INT group showed significant correlations between static postural stability in condition 2 (eyes closed) and the dynamic postural stability (length of time walked on the beam following fatigue) (r ranged from 0.647 to 0.822; p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The proprioceptive intervention programme for combat soldiers improved static postural balance on unstable surfaces, and improved the correlation between static postural balance in the eyes closed condition and dynamic postural balance following fatigue. Further longitudinal studies are needed to verify the relationship between proprioception programmes, additional weight bearing and the reduction of subsequent injuries in combat soldiers.

Abstract
The visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by covalent photosensitizer-catalyst dyads is one of the most elegant concepts in supramolecular homogeneous solar energy conversion. The intricacies of catalyst reactivity and photosensitizer-catalyst interactions require a detailed fundamental understanding of the system to rationalize the observed reactivities. Here, we report three dyads based on the covalent imine-bond linkage of an iridium photosensitizer and an organo-functionalized Anderson polyoxometalate anion [MMo6 O18 {(OCH2 )3 CNH2 }2 ]3- (M=Mn3+ , Fe3+ , Co3+ ). Modification of the central metal ion M is used to modulate the HER activity. Detailed theoretical and experimental studies examine the role of the central metal ion M and provide critical understanding of the redox activity and light-driven HER activity of the novel dyads. Thus, the study enables a knowledge-based optimization of HER dyads by chemical modification of the reactive metal oxide components.
