Template-assisted synthesis is one of the most recognised techniques for fabrication of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). However, this process is time consuming, toxic and expensive. In this study, the authors report a completely novel approach for the green and facile synthesis of AgNCs using Matricaria chamomilla, witho…

A promising strategy for increasing the performance of supercapacitors is proposed. Until now, a popular strategy for increasing the specific capacity of the electrode consists of grafting redox molecules onto a high surface area carbon structure to add a faradaic contribution to the charge storage. Unfortunately, the…

Abstract Reducing hexaazatrinaphthylene (HAN) with potassium in the presence of 18‐c‐6 produces [{K(18‐c‐6)}HAN], which contains the S=1/2 radical [HAN] .− . The [HAN] .− radical can be transferred to the cobalt(II) amide [Co{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 ], forming [K(18‐c‐6)][(HAN){Co(N′′) 2 } 3 ]; magnetic measurements on this…

One important aspect of the magneto-structural transition in MnCoGe-based materials is the reduction in saturation magnetization from the orthorhombic to the hexagonal phase. Here, by combining an element specific magnetization probe such as x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and band structure calculations, we show th…

A large out-of-plane piezoelectricity can be induced in graphene by carbon substitution. Several simple substitutions are considered where C atoms are replaced by heavier group-IV elements (Si, Ge, and Sn). A more complex functionalization (namely, pyrrolic N-doped graphene) is also investigated where different functi…

As a consequence of an inter- (or intra-) molecular hydrogen bond, cellulose molecular chains or cellulose nanoparticles have a strong force for aggregation. Therefore, on one hand the broad use of cellulose nanoparticles is stifled by the lack of effective methods for the preparation of them. On the other hand, resea…
