The most efficient catalysts for solar fuel production should operate close to reversible potentials, yet possess a bias for the fuel-forming direction. Protein film electrochemical studies of Ni-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and [NiFeSe]-hydrogenase, each a reversible electrocatalyst, show that the electronic state of the electrode strongly biases the direction of electrocatalysis o...

recently testing of quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) circuits has attracted a lot of attention. in this paper, qca is investigated for testable implementations of reversible logic. to amplify testability in reversible qca circuits, a test method regarding to built in self test technique is developed for detecting all simulated defects. a new reversible qca mux 2×1 design is proposed for the ...

Circuit realizations generated by reversible logic synthesis approaches may not be optimal, thus it is common to apply post-synthesis optimization techniques. This paper proposes an algorithm that uses a ranking system for identifying the best match with circuitreduction templates. These templates incorporate both positive and negative control Toffoli gates. A reduction in quantum cost was achi...

Electrochemical behavior of the new mono and dinuclear Co (III)  complexes of  the types trans-[pyCo((DO)(DOH)pn )(L)]PF6   and [{py Co((DO)(DOH)pn)}2 (μ-dicyd)] (PF6)2   have been studied in acetonitrile solution.  All the  mono nuclear complexes  show two quasi- reversible reduction couples associate  to Co(III/II)an...

The electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of three 1,3,5-tri(anthracen-10-yl)-benzene-centered starburst oligofluorenes (T1-T3) are reported in this paper. The compounds T1-T3 contain 1,3,5-tri(anthracen-10-yl)-benzene as a core with fluorene as an arm from monofluorene to trifluorene groups (n = 1-3), generating a rigid three-dimensional structure. The electrochemical b...

This study introduces a reversible optical fulladder. Also optical NOT and NOR gates are implemented through Electro-Absorption-Modulator / Photo Detector (EAM/PD) pairs, were utilized for fulfilling reversible R gate. Then, reversible fulladder was designed based on the proposed reversible optical R gate. The operation of the suggested fulladder was simulated using Optispice and it was fou...

The electrochemical behavior of nifedipine (I), nitrendipine(II) and their photodegradation products has been studied by employing electrochemical techniques in chloroform and in 1:4 mixture of chloroform-isopropanol using piperidinium perchlorate (PPC) as supporting electrolyte. It has been shown that I and II undergo in a 4e, 4H+ irreversible reduction reaction, while the reduc...

Reversibility of a dehydrogenation/hydrogenation catalytic reaction has been an elusive target for homogeneous catalysis. In this report, reversible acceptorless dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols and diols on iron pincer complexes and reversible oxidative dehydrogenation of primary alcohols/reduction of aldehydes with separate transfer of protons and electrons on iridium complexes are shown...
