The reported photocurrent density (J(SC)) of PbS quantum dot (QD)-sensitized solar cell was less than 19 mA/cm(2) despite the capability to generate 38 mA/cm(2), which results from inefficient electron injection and fast charge recombination. Here, we report on a PbS:Hg QD-sensitized solar cell with an unprecedentedly…
The deposition, clearance and translocation of europium-doped gadolinium oxide nanoparticles in a mouse lung were investigated experimentally. Nanoparticles were synthesized by spray flame pyrolysis. The particle size, crystallinity and surface properties were characterized. Following instillation, the concentrations…
Two new anthracene-functionalized fluorescent tris-imidazolium salts have been synthesized, characterized, and proven to be selective sensors for picric acid, which is a common constituent of many powerful explosives. Theoretical studies revealed an unusual ground-state electron transfer from picrate anion to the sens…
Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) has emerged as a novel MRI contrast mechanism that is well suited for molecular imaging studies. This new mechanism can be used to detect small amounts of contrast agent through the saturation of rapidly exchanging protons on these agents, allowing a wide range of applicati…
Layered boron nitrides (BNs) are usually viewed as excellent protective coatings and reinforcing materials due to their chemical inertness and high mechanical strength. However, the attention paid to their potential applications in gas sorption, especially in case of hydrogen, has obviously been insufficient. Herein,…
A structural investigation is reported of polymorphs of Ga(2)O(3) that, despite much interest in their properties, have hitherto remained uncharacterised due to structural disorder. The most crystalline sample yet reported of γ-Ga(2)O(3) was prepared by solvothermal oxidation of gallium metal in ethanolamine. Structur…
Soaking up s'more: Marshmallow-like flexible gels synthesized from organoalkoxysilanes by a facile process show superior oil/water separation properties. The gels are superhydrophobic and can be used to remove organic compounds from water through absorption; they can then be recovered by squeezing them out of the gel,…
Thanks to nitrogen introduced into the layered carbon framework of graphite, the chemical reactivity of the carbon atoms was increased. N-doped graphitic catalysts generate reactive oxygen species and display excellent activity for hydrocarbon activation even at room temperature.
The outcome of synthetic procedures for crystalline organic materials strongly depends on the first steps along the molecular self-assembly pathway, a process we know as crystal nucleation. New experimental techniques and computational methodologies have spurred significant interest in understanding the detailed molec…
The depletion of traditional energy resources as well as the desire to reduce high CO(2) emissions associated with energy production means that energy storage is now becoming more important than ever. New functional electrode materials are urgently needed for next-generation energy storage systems, such as supercapaci…
In recent years, semiconducting polymer nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention because of their outstanding characteristics as fluorescent probes. These nanoparticles, which primarily consist of π-conjugated polymers and are called polymer dots (Pdots) when they exhibit small particle size and high bright…
Broader applications of carbon nanotubes to real-world problems have largely gone unfulfilled because of difficult material synthesis and laborious processing. We report high-performance multifunctional carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers that combine the specific strength, stiffness, and thermal conductivity of carbon fiber…
Functional hybrid inorganic nanomaterials have received substantial attention for their promising performance in nanotechnological applications.[1] A combination of more than one nanocomponent into a hybrid structure gives rise to new collective properties different from the constituents.[1] The hybrid nanostructures…
Bovine collagen alpha-1 is a naturally occurring extracellular matrix protein found in tendons and other connective tissues. It plays a vital role in cell growth, differentiation, attachment, and migration. Recent findings have established that collagen alpha-1 is involved in osteogenesis imperfecta phenotype in cattl…
A transmitted ellipsometry method is proposed for extracting the ellipsometric parameters (Ψpp, Ψps, Ψsp, Δpp, Δpsand Δsp) of twisted nematic (TN), vertical alignment (VA), and inverse-TN (ITN) liquid crystal (LC) cells from the output Stokes parameters corresponding to five input polarized lights. The validity of the…
Abstract This article investigates the room temperature demixing of oil‐in‐oil emulsions containing styrene (St), polybutadiene (PB), a St‐butadiene star block copolymer (BC), and two polystyrene (PS) samples of different molecular weights and is a contribution toward a better understanding of the stability/instabilit…
Microscope slides containing material from Sierra Leone used by Woodhead and Tweed to describe eight new Surirellaceae taxa in the mid-twentieth century were reinvestigated. Only two taxa were found on the original slides, Surirella approximata Woodhead & Tweed and S. engleri [var. constricta] f. minor Woodhead & Twee…
Synthetic polymers are considered to be the promising materials for biomedical applications. Various polymer formulations have been employed to achieve the desired chemical, physical and biological properties. Recently, there has been much interest in the development of environmentally responsive polymers for use as b…

A new field emission model of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to simulate gas detection mechanism in CNT based ionization gas sensor has been developed. The new model consists of three modules which are combined together and embedded in the standard particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision codes. The functionality of the enhanc…
