Cutting-edge research in the band engineering of nanowires at the ultimate fine scale is related to the minimum scale of a nanowire-based device. The fundamental issue at the subnanometre scale is whether angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) can be used to directly measure the momentum-resolved electronic…
A laser‐based patterning technique—compatible with flexible, temperature‐sensitive substrates—for the production of large area reduced graphene oxide micromesh (rGOMM) electrodes is presented. The mesh patterning can be accurately controlled in order to significantly enhance the electrode transparency, with a subseque…
Heterostructures of gold-nanoparticle-decorated reduced-graphene-oxide (rGO)-wrapped ZnO hollow spheres (Au/rGO/ZnO) are synthesized using tetra-n-butylammonium bromide as a mediating agent. The structure of amorphous ZnO hollow spheres is found to be transformed from nanosheet- to nanoparticle-assembled hollow sphere…
Using hybrid density functional theory combined with a semiempirical van der Waals dispersion correction, we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of vacancies and self-interstitials in defective few-layer phosphorene. We find that both a vacancy and a self-interstitial defect are more stable in t…
We demonstrate that Pd nanospheres exhibit much higher susceptibility of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak to medium refractive index changes than commonly used plasmonic sensing materials such as Au and Ag. The susceptibility of spherical Au nanoparticle-core/Pd-shell nanospheres (Au/PdNSs, ca. 73 n…
Poly(ethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PEF) is a polyester from ethylene glycol and 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic acid which has gained increasing interest due to its excellent properties compared to chemically similar PET. This paper presents an estimation of the crystallization enthalpy, the crystalline and amorphous densit…
Carbon and post-carbon nanomaterials present desirable electrical, optical, chemical, and mechanical attributes for printed electronics, offering low-cost, large-area functionality on flexible substrates. In this Perspective, recent developments in carbon nanomaterial inks are highlighted. Monodisperse semiconducting…
Thermally sensitive polymeric nanocarriers were developed to optimize the release profile of encapsulated compounds to improve treatment efficiency. However, when referring to thermally sensitive polymeric nanocarriers, this usually means systems fabricated from lower critical solution temperature (LCST) polymers, whi…
Supramolecular organic electronics embodies one of the biggest promises made by supramolecular functional materials . Huge advancements have been made with regard to its theoretical and functional understanding over the past few decades. Among a lot of the unsolved problems that still exist, this review takes a look a…
Protein adsorption and blood coagulation play important roles in the early stages of osseointegration and are strongly influenced by surface properties. We present a systematic investigation of the influence of different surface properties on the adsorption of the blood proteins fibrinogen and fibronectin and the degr…
Despite heightened interest in 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) doping methods for future layered semiconductor devices, most doping research is currently limited to molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), which is generally used for n-channel 2D transistors. In addition, previously reported TMD doping techniques result…
Gallium has recently been demonstrated as a phase-change plasmonic material offering UV tunability, facile synthesis, and a remarkable stability due to its thin, self-terminating native oxide. However, the dense irregular nanoparticle (NP) ensembles fabricated by molecular-beam epitaxy make optical measurements of ind…
Biosynthesis of metallic silver nanoparticles has now become an alternative to physical and chemical approaches. In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized from Cavendish banana peel extract (CBPE) and characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrare…
Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-assembled monoliths (GAs), especially ones prepared by self-assembly in the liquid phase, represent promising forms to realize the practical applications of graphene due to their high surface utilization and operability. However, the understanding of the assembly process and structure c…
Artificial heterostructures assembled from van der Waals materials promise to combine materials without the traditional restrictions in heterostructure-growth such as lattice matching conditions and atom interdiffusion. Simple stacking of van der Waals materials with diverse properties would thus enable the fabricatio…
In this paper, we describe efforts to enhance the efficiency of Cu 2 O-based heterojunction solar cells fabricated with an aluminum–gallium–oxide (Al–Ga–O) thin film as the n-type layer and a p-type sodium (Na)-doped Cu 2 O (Cu 2 O:Na) sheet prepared by thermally oxidizing copper sheets. The optimal Al content [ X ; A…
Nanomaterials have great potential to offer effective treatment against devastating diseases by providing sustained release of high concentrations of therapeutic agents locally, especially when the route of administration allows for direct access to the diseased tissues. Biodegradable polyphosphoester-based polymeric…
The elastic modulus of the extracellular matrix is a dynamic property that changes during various biological processes, such as disease progression or wound healing. Most cell culture platforms, however, have traditionally exhibited static properties, making it necessary to replate cells to study the effects of differ…
A central aim of quantum information processing is the efficient entanglement of multiple stationary quantum memories via photons. Among solid-state systems, the nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond has emerged as an excellent optically addressable memory with second-scale electron spin coherence times. Recently, quantu…
Kinetic control is a powerful means for maneuvering the twin structure and shape of metal nanocrystals and thus optimizing their performance in a variety of applications. However, there is only a vague understanding of the explicit roles played by reaction kinetics due to the lack of quantitative information about the…
