We demonstrate a novel architecture of solar cell by incorporating graphene thin film in a quantum dot sensitized solar cell. Quantum dot sensitized nanorods with a graphene layer exhibited a 54.7% improvement comparing a quantum dot sensitized ZnO nanorods without graphene layer. A fill factor as high as ∼62% was als…

SrTiO3 nanocubes were synthesized in aqueous solution with Bis (ammonium lactate) titanium dihydroxide (TALH) as the Ti source under hydrazine-assisted hydrothermal condition. The SrTiO3 nanocubes grew from the Ti-based sol through a dissolution-precipitation process and large cubic particles formed through the orient…

We have established a new strategy to produce functional organic nanotubes of controlled structure from cyclic peptide/polymer conjugates. The structure guiding cyclic peptide motif was coupled to the polymeric chains viacopper-catalyzed azide–alkyne click reaction, to yield very well-defined conjugates. The resulting…

We proposed a good calcinations condition of the ZnO disk to control the crystallography and nanoparticles in ZnO disk. The crystallography of precursor powder and disk powder were analyzed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mean nanoparticles of ZnO disk was determinate by XRD results and observed by scanning electr…

Polypropylene was successfully covalently grafted onto the surface of thermally reduced graphite oxide (PP-g-TRGO) by taking advantage of the "residual oxygen-containing functional groups" and the "grafting to" method. The PP-g-TRGO obtained showed an improved compatibility, and interfacial interaction, with an isotac…

At the heart of ‘copying from Nature’ lies the implied assumptions that, firstly, researchers understand what they propose to copy and that, secondly, industrialists have found ways to successfully integrate the many requirements necessary for a reliable bio-mimetic copying process. Here we explore the traits of nativ…

We report here the design of a novel conducting erodible platform based on the water soluble conducting polymer, poly[ammonium(3-thienyl)ethoxypropanesulfonate] (SPT). This study shows for the first time a conducting polymeric system that is electroactive, fully erodible and promotes cell adhesion and growth.

This work presents a novel method for directly forming highly-oriented Mg–Fe–CO3 LDH coating on pure Mg samples by treating the sample in pH 5.6 aqueous Fe3+/HCO3−/CO32− at 50 °C, and then immersing it in pH 9.5 aqueous HCO3−/CO32− at 50 °C. The former step was performed to yield Mg2+ in aqueous solution at pH 5.6 by…
