Porous Carbon Nanoparticles (PCNs) with well-developed microporosity were obtained from bio-waste oil palm leaves (OPL) using single step pyrolysis in nitrogen atmosphere at 500-600 °C in tube-furnace without any catalysis support. The key approach was using silica (SiO2) bodies of OPL as a template in the synthesis o…
This paper describes the synthesis and optical properties of PbS/CdS quantum dots for <italic>in vivo</italic> fluorescence imaging.
Herein, we have developed a series of isostructural mixed Ln(3+)-4-(dipyridin-2-yl)aminobenzoate coordination polymers [Ln(3+) = Eu(3+) (1), Tb(3+) (2), and Gd(3+) (3)], and characterized and investigated their photophysical properties. The results demonstrated that by gently tuning the excitation wavelength of these…
Metal-free ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone was conducted using a relatively mild phosphazene base catalyst. The influence of solvents and protic initiators on the polymerization rate and control was demonstrated.
The geometries, stabilities, electronic properties and catalytic capability of the platinum catalyst supported on oxidized graphene (Pt/OG) are investigated using the first-principles density-functional theory. Compared with the oxygen adatom, the hydroxyl molecule adsorbs weakly and aggregates easily on graphene, whi…
We report on the experimental investigation and modeling of electrical breakdown in multilayer (a few to tens of nanometers thick) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) field-effect transistors (FETs). By measuring MoS2 devices ranging from 5.7 nm to 77 nm in thicknesses, we achieve a breakdown current of 1.2 mA, mobility of 42…
Using FDTD simulation, the mechanism of the effect of the topographies of hierarchical silver mesoparticles on SERS properties were systematically studied.
We investigate low-temperature magneto-transport in recently developed, high-quality multiterminal suspended bilayer graphene devices, enabling the independent measurement of the longitudinal and transverse resistance. We observe clear signatures of the fractional quantum Hall effect with different states that are eit…
We demonstrate a notable power factor and an extremely low lattice thermal conductivity in Pb <sub>5</sub> Bi <sub>6</sub> Se <sub>14</sub> (cannizzarite homolog), Pb <sub>3</sub> Bi <sub>2</sub> S <sub>6</sub> (lillianite homolog), and PbBi <sub>2</sub> S <sub>4</sub> (galenobismuthite homolog).
A novel type of plasmonic light trapping structure is presented in this paper, composed of metal nanoparticles synthesized in colloidal solution and self-assembled in uniform long-range arrays using a wet-coating method. The high monodispersion in size and spherical shape of the gold colloids used in this work allows…
Green-to-blue upconverting molecular glasses consisting of a metal octaethylporphyrin sensitizer and a diphenylanthracene derivative as an emitting matrix are reported.
The stringent processes of natural selection and evolution have enabled extraordinary structure-function properties of biomolecules. Specifically, the archetypal designs of biomolecules, such as amino acids, nucleobases, carbohydrates and lipids amongst others, encode unparalleled information, selectivity and specific…
Upconversion luminescence (UCL) detection based on rare-earth doped upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) as probes has been proved to exhibit a large anti-Stokes shift, no autofluorescence from biological samples, and no photobleaching. However, it is still a challenge to achieve a stable, reproducible solid-based UCL bi…
The toxicity of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has been fully ascertained, but the mechanisms underlying their cytotoxicity remain still largely unclear. Here we demonstrate that the cytotoxicity of MNPs is strictly reliant on the pathway of cellular internalization. In particular, if otherwise toxic gold, silver, and…
We demonstrate how to generate highly ordered porous matrices from dextran-methacrylate (DEX-MA) using microfluidics. We use a flow focusing device to inject an aqueous solution of DEX-MA and surfactant to break the flow of an organic solvent (cyclohexane) into monodisperse droplets at a high volume fraction (above 74…
Two new chiral mixed (phthalocyaninato)(porphyrinato) rare earth triple-decker complexes with both (R)- and (S)-enantiomers were synthesized and structurally characterized. The significant magneto-chiral cross effect revealed for the dysprosium compound suggests the great potential of sandwich-type tetrapyrrole rare e…
The demand for substitution of fossil-based materials by renewable bio-based materials is increasing with the fossil resources reduction and its negative impacts on the environment. In this study, environmentally friendly regenerated cellulose films were successfully prepared using 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride…
In order to prepare a lightweight and efficient microwave absorbent, porous activated carbon balls (PACB) were used to load Fe(3+) and Co(2+) ions, because the PACB carrier has a high specific surface area of 800 m(2) g(-1) and abundant pores, including micropores and macropores. The loaded Fe(3+) and Co(2+) ions in t…
In this study, composites based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/talc were prepared at different compositions by melt mixing in a twin screw extruder. The effect of a nucleating agent, talc, on the crystallization behavior, rheological and morphological properties of PLA was investigated. DSC results showed that the additio…
A therapeutic aptamer-lipid-poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) hybrid nanoparticle-based drug delivery system was prepared and characterized. This system can co-deliver two different drugs with distinct solubility and different anticancer mechanisms to target cancer cells with high specificity and efficiency.
