Abstract The metal-insulator transition temperature T c in VO 2 is experimentally shown to be almost the same as a magnetic transition temperature T m characterized by an abrupt decrease in susceptibility, suggesting the evidence of the same underlying origin for both transitions. The measurement of susceptibility sho…
Three-dimensional (3D) cellular graphene structures have wide applications in energy storage, catalysis, polymer composites, electromagnetic shielding, and many others. However, the current strategies to form cellular graphene are only able to realize limited structure control and are hard to achieve the construction…
The inhibition ability of a new Azomethine derivatives containing the 8-hydroxyquinoline (BDHQ and MDHQ) towards carbon steel corrosion in HCl solution was studied at various concentrations and temperatures using weight loss, polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The experimenta…
Modification of saponite (Sap) by surface engineering and intercalation chemistry introduces guest species into the structure of Sap and enhances the functionalities of the resultant Sap-based hybrids or composites. This review summarizes and evaluates latest scientific advances in the strategies for surface engineeri…
Abstract Mobility is a critical parameter that is routinely used for benchmarking the performance of field‐effect transistors (FETs) based on novel nanomaterials. In fact, mobility values are often used to champion nanomaterials since high‐performance devices necessitate high mobility values. The current belief is tha…
Graphene-based conductors such as films and fibers aim to transfer graphene's extraordinary properties to the macroscopic scale. They show great potential for large-scale applications, but there is a lack of theoretical models to describe their electrical characteristics. We present a network simulation method to mode…
Optical and thermal metamaterial-based structures have been extensively explored, yielding many interesting functionalities; in what other ways can they be used? This study, following the basic rules of transformation optics (here thermotics), demonstrates another application: thermal encoding, based on binary states…
For nanocellulose to function effectively as a nanofiller in polymers, its interfacial properties are often modified to enhance the dispersion of nanocellulose in the polymer matrix. However, the effect of different surface modification strategies on the persistence of nanocellulose in the environment is unclear. In t…
Integrating oxide thin films on flexible substrates is a critical step toward future applications of multifunctional oxides for flexible electronics and spintronic devices. As a demonstration, multifunctional La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (LSMO) thin films have been deposited on flexible mica substrates. The crystallinity and…
TiO 2 supported transition metal oxides were investigated for the direct decomposition of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) at lower temperatures. The results showed that the catalytic performance strongly depends on the kind of transition metal oxide deposited on the TiO 2 . Among the various catalysts examined, Mn/TiO 2 and C…
Abstract To explore the potential for use of the Cr–Al–B borides, Cr 2 AlB 2 , Cr 3 AlB 4 , and Cr 4 AlB 6 as well as hypothetical CrAlB are investigated using density functional theory. In the CrAl(CrB 2 ) n series strong covalent bonding is present between the B and Cr atoms with, significantly, much weaker metallic…
Supercapacitors deliver exceptional power densities, high cycling stability, and inherent safety but suffer from low energy densities. Many methods to enhance the energy density are based on exploring electrode materials with well-developed structures and designing asymmetric systems with wide voltage windows. The ene…
Long-distance and large-capacity transmission systems have been strongly demanded in modern society, which requires the development of high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables. However, the currently used cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated cables not only cannot fulfill the environmental sustainability but al…
The design of nanostructures carrying therapeutic molecules represents the new frontier in the biological and medical fields. In particular, researchers have identified nanogels as promising tools in response to the critical issues of intracellular delivery: because of their peculiar properties, including swelling beh…
Chirality plays an essential role in the fields of biology, medicine and physics. However, natural materials exhibit very weak chiroptical response. In this paper, near-infrared chiral plasmonic metasurface absorbers are demonstrated to selectively absorb either the left-handed or right-handed circularly polarized lig…
Abstract Epoxy nanocomposites, with inorganic oxide nanoparticles as filler, can exhibit novel property combinations, such as enhanced mechanical strength, higher thermal conductivity, increased dielectric breakdown strength, and reduced complex permittivity. Therefore, they have interesting applications in nanodielec…
Abstract Demand for long‐lasting antifouling surfaces has steered the development of accessible, novel, biocompatible and environmentally friendly materials. Inspired by lubricin (LUB), a component of mammalian synovial fluid with excellent antifouling properties, three block polymers offering stability, efficacy, and…
Herein, we report additive- and binder-free pristine amorphous vanadium oxide (a-VOx) for Li- and Na-ion battery application. Thin films of a-VOx with a thickness of about 650 nm are grown onto stainless steel substrate from crystalline V2O5 target using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. Under varying oxygen pa…
Ultrafast dynamics are generally investigated using stroboscopic pump-probe measurements, which characterize the sample properties for a single, specific time delay. These measurements are then repeated for a series of discrete time delays to reconstruct the overall time trace of the process. As a consequence, this ap…
The reversibility and cyclability of anionic redox in battery electrodes hold the key to its practical employments. Here, through mapping of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (mRIXS), we have independently quantified the evolving redox states of both cations and anions in Na2/3Mg1/3Mn2/3O2. The bulk-Mn redox emerges…
