How does the performance of AgNPs vary when they are directly coated on a substrate vs when they are embedded in solid matrices before application?

Is the surface area and accessibility entirely different in these two cases? If yes, then, does that have a significant influence on the performance? Since my work pertains to antibiofouling...

Why do we soak anion exchange resin (I am using Amberlite resin XAD7HP (Sigma Aldrich)) in Ethanol- water prior to using it for adsorption purposes?

If the purpose of soaking anion exchange resin in water/ethanol is to open up its pores, then can we simply soak it directly in the sample being used for experiments(mine is plant extract in 50%...

How can I perform photoelectrochemical water splitting with top illumination?

In our lab, we have a vertical light source. For PEC water splitting, light should fall directly on the working electrode. So generally horizontal light source is used and the electrode is kept...
