Agricultural production-caused water contamination has become an urgent environmental issue that has drawn much attention in recent years. One such contamination case is the environmental disposal of colored effluents from the food processing industry (i.e., food dyes). Effective methods for removing dye contaminants…
Precise synthesis and characterization of bimetallic nanoparticles are critical toward understanding structure–activity relationships in alkane dehydrogenation catalysis. Traditional synthetic methods for Pt alloy catalysts involve impregnation of two metal salts onto high surface area supports followed by thermal red…
The efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT) highly depends on the tumor oxygenation state. However, PDT itself can not only cause oxygen depletion but also prevent oxygen supply in tumors. Such self-confinement effect significantly limits the efficacy of PDT, especially fractionated PDT (fPDT). Herein, we proposed a…
Discovering acid-stable, cost-effective, and active catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical since this reaction is a bottleneck in many electrochemical energy conversion systems. The current systems use extremely expensive iridium oxide catalysts. Identifying Ir-free or less-Ir containing catalysts h…
Hafnium–zirconium oxide (HZO) thin films are of interest due to their ability to form ferroelectric (FE) and antiferroelectric (AFE) oxide phases. Density functional theory is employed to elucidate the stabilization mechanisms of both FE HZO thin films and AFE ZrO2 films. The FE orthorhombic phase is primarily stabili…
Biodegradation tests of chitosan (CH), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) polymers were carried out using the standard OECD 301D guidelines. The results showed that the CH samples biodegraded faster than those of PBAT. Photographs registered exhibited the complete or partial…
Separating produced water is a key part of production processing for most crude oils. It is required for quality reasons, and to avoid unnecessary transportation costs and prevent pipework corrosion rates caused by soluble salts present in the water. A complicating factor is that water is often present in crude oil in…
Interface-mediated recombination losses between perovskite and charge transport layers are one of the main reasons that limit the device performance, in particular for the open-circuit voltage (VOC) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, functional molecular interface engineering (FMIE) is employed to retard the inte…
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to understand the nature of acid–base crystalline solids, to know whether the product is a salt (proton transfer, O – ···H–N + ) or a cocrystal (neutral adduct, O–H···N). The present study was carried out to explore if intermediate states of proton transfer from COOH to n…
Lignocellulosic biomass is a vital resource for providing clean future energy with a sustainable environment. Besides lignocellulosic residues, nonlignocellulosic residues such as sewage sludge from industrial and municipal wastes are gained much attention due to its large quantities and ability to produce cheap and c…
Abstract Despite the success of thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) materials in steering the next generation of organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), effective near infrared (NIR) TADF emitters are still very rare. Here, we present a simple and extremely high electron‐deficient compound, 5,6‐dicyano[2,1,3…
A biocompatible and biodegradable scaffold with load-bearing ability is required to enhance the repair of bone defects by facilitating the attachment, and proliferation of cells, and vascularization during new bone formation. However, it is challenging to maintain the porosity and biodegradability, as well as mechanic…
With an increased energy density and cost advantage, ultrahigh-nickel layered oxides (LiNi x M 1 – x O 2, x = 0.9–1.0) are becoming a front-runner as cathodes for next-generation lithium-based batteries, yet their commercialization is blocked both by severe capacity fade and exponentially aggravated air degradation. T…
The second part of our review describing new achievements in the field of biofilm prevention and control, begins with a discussion of the active antibiofilm nanocoatings. We present the antibiofilm strategies based on antimicrobial agents that kill pathogens, inhibit their growth, or disrupt the molecular mechanisms o…
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is considered an alternative for oncotherapy because it has less invasive damage to normal tissues than other methods, particularly in second near-infrared (NIR-II) PTT (1000–1350 nm) because of deeper biological tissue penetration, lower photon scattering, and higher maximum permissible exp…
Enhancing the reliability and sensitivity of gas sensors based on FETs has been of extensive concern for their practical application. However, few reports are available on nanofiber FET gas sensors fabricated by the electrospinning process. In this work, ethanol gas sensors based on Yb-doped In 2 O 3 (InYbO) nanofiber…
The radial conjugated π-system of cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) makes them intriguing fluorophores and unique supramolecular hosts. However, the bright photoluminescence (PL) of CPPs was limited to the blue light and the supramolecular assembly behavior of large CPPs was rarely investigated. Here we present the synthesis…
A three-dimensional flower-like NiCo 2 S 4 formed by two-dimensional nanosheets is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method and utilized as the anode for sodium-ion batteries. Studies have shown that materials can achieve the best performance under the ether-based electrolyte system with voltage ranging from 0.3 to…
Responsive materials, as well as active structural systems, are nowadays widely used to develop unprecedented smart devices, sensors or actuators; their functionalities come from the ability of responding to environmental stimuli with a detectable reaction. Depending on the responsive material under study, the trigger…
Continued downscaling of semiconductor devices has placed stringent constraints on all aspects of the fabrication process including plasma-assisted anisotropic etching. To address manufacturing challenges associated with atomic-scale control, material selectivity, etch fidelity, and increasingly complex device archite…
