The graphene-silicon (Gr-Si) Schottky junction solar cell has been recognized as one of the most low-cost candidates in photovoltaics due to its simple fabrication process. However, the low Gr-Si Schottky barrier height largely limits the power conversion efficiency of Gr-Si solar cells. Here, we demonstrate that elec…

A new carbazole-based mononuclear gold(i) complex was designed and synthesized. The novel luminogen shows significative solid-state reversible mechanochromism, dual-responsive thermochromism and sensitive thin-film vapochromism properties. In addition, we obtained two kinds of crystals of the luminogen that may explai…

Controlling oil adhesion in water is a fundamental issue in many practical applications for surfaces. Currently, almost all studies on underwater oil adhesion control are concentrated on regulating surface chemistry on polymer surfaces, and structure-dependent underwater oil adhesion is still rare, especially on inorg…

The effect of the CaO/SiO2 molar ratio on the surface tension of calcium aluminosilicate melts containing magnesia (CaO–SiO2–Al2O3–MgO) has been explored using a ring method at 1723–1823 K; the Al2O3 and MgO contents were approximately 12 and 8 mol%, respectively. The CaO/SiO2 molar ratio of the samples was varied in…

A critical problem in the treatment of cancer is the inability to identify microsized tumors and treat them without normal tissue destruction. While surgical excision of tumors is highly effective, residual micrometastases and remaining positive margins are the main cause of recurrence. In this study, we propose a the…

We employ ab initio calculations to predict the equilibrium structure, stability, reactivity, and Raman scattering properties of sixteen different (H3C)nX(SiH3)3-n compounds (X = B, Al, Ga, In) with n = 0-3. Among this methylsilylmetal family, only the (H3C)3X members, i.e., trimethylboron (TMB), trimethylaluminum (TM…
