Graphene is one of the most intensively studied materials, and has unusual electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, which provide almost unlimited potential applications. This book provides an introduction to the electrical and transport properties of graphene and other two-dimensional nanomaterials, covering ab…
Hierarchical Cu 2 S microspheres wrapped by reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets are prepared via a one‐step solvothermal process. The amount of graphene oxide used in the synthesis process has a remarkable effect on the features of Cu 2 S microspheres. Compared to Pt and Cu 2 S electrodes, RGO‐Cu 2 S electrodes sh…
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally-occurring glycosaminoglycan and a major component of the extracellular matrix. Low levels of the hyaluronic acid receptor CD44 are found on the surface of epithelial, hematopoietic, and neuronal cells; it is overexpressed in many cancer cells, and in particular in tumor-initiating c…
HgS nanocrystals show a strong mid-infrared absorption and a bleach of the near-infrared band edge, both tunable in energy and reversibly controlled by exposure to solution ions under ambient conditions. The same effects are obtained by applying a reducing electrochemical potential, confirming that the mid-infrared ab…
Platy microcrystals of a typical layered material, protonated titanate, have been shown to undergo an enormous degree of swelling in aqueous solutions of various amines, including tertiary amines, quaternary ammonium hydroxides, and primary amines. Introducing these solutions expanded the crystal gallery height by up…
A series of V2O5/CeO2 catalysts with different potassium loadings were prepared to investigate alkali deactivations for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3. An alkali poisoning mechanism could be attributed to surface acidity, reducibility, and NOx adsorption/desorption behaviors. The detailed factors are as…
Monodisperse yolk–shell mesoporous hybrid spheres with ordered radial mesochannels are demonstrated to be readily prepared by incubating mesostructured hybrid spheres with water. The obtained yolk–shell mesoporous spheres have inorganic–organic hybrid framework, tunable diameter, high surface area, radially oriented o…
Contact resistance (Rc) can substantially obscure the extracted mobility based on standard transconductance or two-point conductance measurements of field-effect devices especially for low density of states materials such as MoS2 or similar atomic crystals. Currently, there exists a pressing need for a routine techniq…
Novel photochromic dithienylethene-based platinum(II) complexes (C^N^N)Pt(C≡C-DTE-C6H4-D) ((C^N^N) = 4,4'-di(n-hexyl)-6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine; D = H, NMe2) were prepared and characterized. Their excellent photochromic properties allow the photoinduced switching of their second-order nonlinear optical properties in so…
Tuning the threshold voltage of a transistor is crucial for realizing robust digital circuits. For silicon transistors, the threshold voltage can be accurately controlled by doping. However, it remains challenging to tune the threshold voltage of single-wall nanotube (SWNT) thin-film transistors. Here, we report a fac…
The effect of room temperature ultraviolet-ozone (UV-O3) exposure of MoS2 on the uniformity of subsequent atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 is investigated. It is found that a UV-O3 pre-treatment removes adsorbed carbon contamination from the MoS2 surface and also functionalizes the MoS2 surface through the formation o…
We have performed quantum Monte Carlo calculations to study the cohesion energetics of carbon allotropes, including sp(3)-bonded diamond, sp(2)-bonded graphene, sp-sp(2) hybridized graphynes, and sp-bonded carbyne. The computed cohesive energies of diamond and graphene are found to be in excellent agreement with the c…
Nature has inspired researchers to construct structures with ordered layers as candidates for new materials with high mechanical performance. As a prominent example, nacre, also known as mother of pearl, consists of a combination of inorganic plates (aragonite calcium carbonate, 95% by volume) and organic macromolecul…
OBJECTIVES: The field of pharmaceutical technology is expanding rapidly because of the increasing number of drug delivery options. Successful drug delivery is influenced by multiple factors, one of which is the appropriate identification of materials for research and engineering of new drug delivery systems. Bacterial…
The integration of graphene nanosheets on the macroscopic level using a self‐assembly method has been recognized as one of the most effective strategies to realize the practical applications of graphene materials. Here, a facile and scalable method is developed to synthesis two types of graphene‐based networks, mangan…
The production of continuous fibers made purely of carbon nanotubes has paved the way for new macro‐scale applications which utilize the superior properties of individual carbon nanotubes. These wire‐like macroscopic assemblies of carbon nanotubes were recognized to have a potential to be used in electrical wiring. Ca…
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have recently emerged as a new generation of porous polymers combining molecular functionality with the robustness and structural definition of crystalline solids. Drawing on the recent development of tailor-made semiconducting COFs, we report here on a new COF capable of visible-lig…
We introduce the 2D counterpart of layered black phosphorus, which we call phosphorene, as an unexplored p-type semiconducting material. Same as graphene and MoS2, single-layer phosphorene is flexible and can be mechanically exfoliated. We find phosphorene to be stable and, unlike graphene, to have an inherent, direct…
A new tetranuclear mixed-valence cobalt complex, namely di-μ2-azido-diazidodiethanolbis{μ2-2-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenolato}bis{μ3-6-methoxy-2-[(oxidoimino)methyl]phenolato}dicobalt(II)dicobalt(III) ethanol disolvate, [Co(II)2Co(III)2(C8H7NO3)2(C8H8NO3)2(N3)4(C2H5OH)2]·2C2H5OH, has been synthesized by the r…
A single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure analysis of decagonal Zn-Mg-Dy, a Frank-Kasper-type quasicrystal, was performed using the higher-dimensional approach. For this first Frank-Kasper (F-K) decagonal quasicrystal studied so far, significant differences to the decagonal Al-TM-based (TM: transition metal) phases…
