An in situ chemical polymerization method was applied in order to prepare polyaniline-multiwalled carbon nanotube (PANI-MWCNT) composites with different concentrations of MWCNT. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, optical absorption and photoluminescence analyses o…
Rod-like nanocrystals of the semiconductor alloy (ZnS)(x)(CuInS(2))(1-x) (ZCIS) have been colloidally prepared by using a one-pot non-injection-based synthetic strategy. The ZCIS nanorods crystallize in the hexagonal wurtzite structure and display preferential growth in the direction of the c axis. The bandgap of thes…
Three photochromic compounds--2-butyl-5,6-bis[5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylthiophen-3-yl]-1 H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2 H)-dione (BTE-NA), 4,5-bis[5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylthiophen-3-yl]benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (BTA), and BTTA, which contain naphthalimide, benzothiadiazole, and benzobisthiadiazole as six-membere…

We report results of first-principles density functional theory calculations, which introduce a new class of carbon nanostructures formed due to creation of covalent interlayer C-C bonds in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). This interlayer bonding becomes possible by hydrogenation of the graphene layers according to cer…
Excited tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT), known to activate a variety of compounds via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), has now been applied as a photoredox catalyst for the effective oxidative cleavage of benzyl silanes and radical benzylation of reducible olefins occurring in isolated yields from poor to excell…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Desired wettability has been achieved on highly hydrophobic boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) films using nitrogen/hydrogen (N 2 /H 2 ) gas plasma treatments under controlled input energies and modes. Both hydrophilicity (contact angle (CA) ∼60°) and superhydrophilicity (…
The design of supramolecular motifs with tuneable stability and adjustable supramolecular polymerisation mechanisms is of crucial importance to precisely control the properties of supramolecular assemblies. This report focuses on constructing π-conjugated oligo(phenylene ethynylene) (OPE)-based one-dimensional helical…
A series of Eu and Tb complexes of four different chiral ligands incorporating an azaxanthone sensitiser has been evaluated as probes for the bicarbonate anion. Their binding affinities were assessed at ambient pH with bicarbonate, lactate, citrate, phosphate and serum albumin. Binding was signalled by modulation of c…
A $U(1)$ slave-spin representation is introduced for multiorbital Hubbard models. As with the ${Z}_{2}$ form of de'Medici et al. [Phys. Rev. B 72, 205124 (2005)], this approach represents a physical electron operator as the product of a slave spin and an auxiliary fermion operator. For nondegenerate multiorbital model…
Transition metal phthalocyanines (MPc's) are an interesting class of material, and their magnetic and electronic properties are determined by the orbital occupation of the transition metal 3d orbitals incorporated in the molecules center. Thus, the ground state configuration of the transition metal center is very impo…
Two donor-acceptor molecular tweezers incorporating the 10-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)anthracene unit as donor group and two cyanoacrylic units as accepting/anchoring groups are reported as metal-free sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. By changing the phenyl spacer with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) units, th…
Ammine metal borohydrides (AMBs), with high hydrogen contents and favorable dehydrogenation properties, are receiving intensive research efforts for their potential as hydrogen storage materials. In this work, we report the successful synthesis of three ammine titanium borohydrides (denoted as ATBs), Ti(BH 4 ) 3 ·5NH…
First-principles calculations are performed to revisit properties of (001) epitaxial BiFeO(3) (BFO) and PbTiO(3) thin films under tensile strain. While these two films possess different ground states when experiencing no misfit strain, they both exhibit the same, previously unknown phase for tensile strains above ≃5%…
The wide uses of nanosilver (nAg) have resulted in concerns regarding ecotoxicity to aquatic organisms. Some previous studies have found that the toxicity of nAg is due to the nanoparticles themselves, while others have found that ionic silver (Ag(+) ) released by nAg particles plays an important role. In the present…
Herein we report the development of a new and cost-effective nanocomposite catalyst for the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane (NH(3)BH(3)), which is considered to be one of the most promising solid hydrogen carriers because of its high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity (19.6% wt) and low molecular weight. The new catal…
The truncation of a pair potential at a distance r_cut is well-known to imply in general an impulsive correction to the pressure and other moments of the first derivatives of the potential. That depending on r_cut the truncation may also be of relevance to higher derivatives is shown theoretically for the Born contrib…
This study reports a facile method to disperse cellulose in deionized water, wherein a critical condition of regenerated cellulose is discovered, where it completely disperses up to a maximum of 5 g L(-1) concentration in deionized water with the help of ultrasonication. The dispersed cellulose is characterized by TEM…
The effect of C(60) fullerene exposure on the accumulation of dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE; DDT metabolite) by Cucurbita pepo L. (zucchini), Glycine max L. (soybean), and Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato) was determined. The plants were grown in 125 mL jars of vermiculite amended with 0 or 40 mg of C(60)…
We describe x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments tracking the motion of gold nanoparticles within solutions of high-molecular-weight polystyrene. Over displacements from nanometers to tens of nanometers, the particles undergo subdiffusive motion that is dictated by the temporal evolution of the ent…
