Prussian blue mesocrystals have been fabricated by a PEG-assisted hydrothermal method. Sub-microcubes and nanocrystals serve like multiple-scale building blocks to assemble into mesocrystals.
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have great potential as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They can be used to label macrophages which then function as cellular probes to study inflammatory disorders such as atherosclerosis. Alternatively, they can be made to evade the reticuloendothelical system (RES…
We use photon correlation imaging, a recently introduced space-resolved dynamic light scattering method, to investigate the spatial correlation of the dynamics of a variety of jammed and glassy soft materials. Strikingly, we find that in deeply jammed soft materials spatial correlations of the dynamics are quite gener…
We successfully demonstrate the morphological manipulation of complex three-dimensional gold nanocrystals. The control upon the nanoparticle crystal structure was achieved by the discovery of a new crystal growth kinetics regime where the number and length of arms as well as the nanocrystal size can be altered to prod…
This paper describes the first preparation of diblock-copolymer blend particles with hierarchical inner structures. AB/AC type diblock-copolymer blend particles were successfully prepared by a simple solvent evaporation method. The inner phase separation structures can be controlled by changing the molecular weight co…
Rutile TiO2 hierarchical microspheres were prepared by a facile solution chemistry method with an aim to achieve nanoscale boundary cavities (NBCs) that can be tailored for optimum giant dielectric performance. The formation of these microspheres proceeded via a supersaturated spontaneous nucleation and a subsequent r…
The novel heterobimetallic Au(I)-M(I) (M = Cu, Ag) alkynyl-diphosphine clusters were effectively prepared using a family of dialkynyl-based diphosphines, PPh(2)-C(2)-(C(6)H(4))(n)-C(2)-PPh(2) (n = 0-2). These compounds consist of [Au(x)M(y)(C(2)C(6)H(4)R)(2x)](y-x) clusters (x = (n + 2)(n + 3)/2; y = (n + 1)(n + 2)) "…
A novel, integral, tri-layered, proton conducting membrane SOFC was readily fabricated for simultaneous conversion of ethane at 650-700 degrees C to electrical power and ethylene with high selectivity.
A one-step method was developed to produce metal nanocomposites from metal alloys under ultrasound irradiation. Systematic investigation of ultrasound effects on various metal particles reveals cavitation-induced recrystallization and oxidation of metals as main factors in the process. The fact that different metals r…
Flexible superhydrophobic films are fabricated by thermally evaporating silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the created flexible hemispheres arrays and modifying the Ag NPs surface with 1-dodecanethiol. The morphology of the generated biomimic film is similar to natural lotus leaves consisting of hierarchical micro/nano…
Silanes are commonly used as coupling agents to enhance the adhesion between polymeric and inorganic materials. Once silane hydrolysis has taken place, the condensation of the silane on the substrate surface should follow. Optimum hydrolysis conditions will depend on the type of silane and the process conditions of th…
Lanthanide complexes have unique chemical characteristics compared with typical organic complexes, and have recently attracted much interest because of the expanding need for new bioanalytical sensors. For example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) permits noninvasive three-dimensional imaging inside opaque organisms,…
Phthalocyanines are used as various applications, including as organic charge carriers in photocopiers, laser light absorbers in data storage systems, photoconductors in photovoltaic cells and electrochromic displays, and non-colored transparent film in visible region. The absorption maxima of phthalocyanines are best…
Gold nanoparticle (Au NP) solutions were synthesised by the Turkevich reduction method and stored in either the light or dark. All solutions were monitored daily using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and displayed surface plasmon resonance (SPR), typical of Au nanoparticle colloids. An increase in SPR intensity, a…
By using paraffin liquid and oleic acid as the solvent and ligand, highly-fluorescent red to near-infrared (NIR)-emitting cadmium selenium telluride (CdSe1−xTex) alloyed quantum dots (QDs) with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) up to 70% were successfully prepared. The as-prepared CdSe1−xTex QDs also demonstrated…
4-Triazolyl-dipicolinic acids, prepared efficiently by CuAAC, proved to act as efficient antennae for optical lanthanide probes containing Eu(3+) or Tb(3+), under linear and non linear excitations (one, two and three photons provided by laser induced luminescence). The versatility offered by the substitution of the tr…
Commercially available magnesium alloy AZ31 is extensively used in structural engineering components although, like many magnesium-based materials, it suffers from poor corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments, which limit wider application. Previously, the ionic liquid (IL) trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosph…
The main pollution flashover faults occurred in power system in China and the harm of large-area pollution flashover are expounded.The measures against pollution flashover adopted by domestic power systems in different historical stages are summarized.It is pointed out that the measures against flashover,including ant…
Due to their unique characteristics, dendrimers have attracted a great deal of attention over the past few years. The reason why they are of eminent interest in drug-delivery applications is that they have uniform size, water solubility, modifiable surface functionality and available internal cavities. Moreover, the h…
This paper reports the use of MADIX/RAFT polymers to modulate the surface net charge of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with the aim of controlling their catalytic properties and their directed assembly on surfaces using AFM nanoxerography. A cationic polymer, poly[(3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride], a pH-re…
