Decoupled, Energy Stable Schemes for Phase-Field Models of Two-Phase Incompressible Flows
In this paper we construct two classes, based on stabilization and convex splitting, of decoupled, unconditionally energy stable schemes for Cahn--Hilliard phase-field models of two-phase incompressible flows. At each time step, these schemes require solving only a sequence of elliptic equations, including a pressure…
Large-scale electricity storage utilizing reversible solid oxide cells combined with underground storage of CO 2 and CH 4
Electricity storage is needed on an unprecedented scale to sustain the ongoing transition of electricity generation from fossil fuels to intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.
Inorganic nanoparticles engineered to attack bacteria
Antibiotics were once the golden bullet to constrain infectious bacteria. However, the rapid and continuing emergence of antibiotic resistance (AR) among infectious microbial pathogens has questioned the future utility of antibiotics. This dilemma has recently fueled the marriage of the disparate fields of nanochemist…
A cellulose sponge with robust superhydrophilicity and under-water superoleophobicity for highly effective oil/water separation
A cellulose sponge with properties of superhydrophilicity and under-water superoleophobicity gives 99.94% separation efficiency in oil–water emulsion separation.
Multifarious facets of sugar-derived molecular gels: molecular features, mechanisms of self-assembly and emerging applications
The remarkable capability of nature to design and create excellent self-assembled nano-structures, especially in the biological world, has motivated chemists to mimic such systems with synthetic molecular and supramolecular systems. The hierarchically organized self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) ba…
Emerging energy and environmental applications of vertically-oriented graphenes
Graphene nanosheets arranged perpendicularly to the substrate surface, i.e., vertically-oriented graphenes (VGs), have many unique morphological and structural features that can lead to exciting properties. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition enables the growth of VGs on various substrates using gas, liquid, or…
Plasmon enhancement of luminescence upconversion
Frequency conversion has always been an important topic in optics. Nonlinear optics has traditionally focused on frequency conversion based on nonlinear susceptibility but with the recent development of upconversion nanomaterials, luminescence upconversion has begun to receive renewed attention. While upconversion nan…
Understanding ferroelectricity in layered perovskites: new ideas and insights from theory and experiments
ABO(3) perovskites have fascinated solid-state chemists and physicists for decades because they display a seemingly inexhaustible variety of chemical and physical properties. However, despite the diversity of properties found among perovskites, very few of these materials are ferroelectric, or even polar, in bulk. In…
Lanthanide single molecule magnets: progress and perspective
The last few years have seen a huge renaissance in the study of single molecule magnets (SMMs) thanks to the extensive applications of lanthanide ions with large inherent anisotropy in molecular magnetism. Particularly, the recent theoretical developments and the experimental expansion into the organometallic avenue h…
Electro-mechanical anisotropy of phosphorene
The applied uniaxial stress can break the original symmetry of a material, providing an experimentally feasible way to alter material properties. Here, we explore the effects of uniaxial stress along an arbitrary direction on mechanical and electronic properties of phosphorene, showing the enhancement of inherent anis…
Self-polymerization of dopamine and polyethyleneimine: novel fluorescent organic nanoprobes for biological imaging applications
The development of novel fluorescent nanoprobes has attracted great current research interest over the past few decades due to their superior optical properties and multifunctional capability as compared with small organic dyes. Although great advance has been made in the utilization of fluorescent nanoprobes for biom…
