TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are photoactive, potentially producing toxicity in vivo in the presence of sunlight. We have previously demonstrated photodependent toxicity in zebrafish embryos exposed to TiO2 NPs. Here we investigate the effect of particle size on developing zebrafish exposed to 6, 12 and 15 nm citrate-func…
Toxicity of textile effluent is a globally alarming issue nowadays. In order to address this problem, a cost-effective and environment-friendly technique for adsorption of toxic dyes has been introduced in this research. Firstly in this study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) having antibacterial effica…
A laboratory test method for evaluating ice adhesion has been developed employing a commercially available instrument normally used for dynamic mechanical analysis (TA RSA-III). This is the first laboratory ice adhesion test that does not require a custom-built apparatus. The upper grip range of ∼10 mm is an enabling…
Single-crystal SnSe2 nanosheets with a ten atomic-layer thickness have been prepared by a facile solvothermal route reaction in benzyl alcohol in the presence of PVP. Benzyl alcohol acts as the solvent and reducing reagent to promote the formation of the hexagonal phase of SnSe2, and the presence of PVP provides a sta…
Solution processable inverted bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells (PSCs) are promising alternatives to conventional silicon solar cells because of their low cost roll-to-roll production and flexible device applications. In this work, we demonstrated that Cs2CO3 functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs-Cs2C…
Recent studies demonstrated that the processing of metallic alloys by severe plastic deformation (SPD) can result in not only strong grain refinement but also leads to the formation of grain boundaries (GBs) with different structures, including GB segregations and precipitations.These nanostructural features of SPD-pr…
Graphene/natural rubber ( GE / NR ) nanocomposites were prepared by a modified latex mixing method combined with in situ chemical reduction. It was found that the GE nanosheets are well dispersed and have strong interfacial interaction with NR . Thus, adding a low content of GE can remarkably increase the tensile stre…
In a conventional solar cell, the energy of an absorbed photon in excess of the band gap is rapidly lost as heat, and this is one of the main reasons that the theoretical efficiency is limited to ~33%. However, an alternative process, multiple exciton generation (MEG), can occur in colloidal quantum dots. Here, some o…
Models and theories to explain the Hall–Petch relationship are reviewed briefly. Then, a dislocation model to incorporate some characteristic mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline metals will be introduced and used to explain some experimental results. The model is based on the idea that dislo…
Abstract For the application of single‐layer food packaging films with improved barrier properties, an attempt was made to prepare ethylene‐vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer‐based nanocomposite films by incorporation of organically modified montmorillonite nanoclays via a two‐step mixing process and solvent cast method.…
Eu-doped pollucite CsAlSi2O6 was synthesized by the sol-gel method and heated in an air atmosphere. The crystal structure and the microstructure of the phosphors were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and SEM images, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra and temperature dependent decay curves were measure…
In this work we show, that atomic metallic hydrogen (AMH) is formed inside of sintered oxide-nickel electrodes of nickel-cadmium battery over a long period of electrochemical hydrogenation (more than five years). It was established that density AMH is 12 times higher, than the density of liquid molecular hydrogen, the…
A comprehensive mechanistic study conducted on the formation mechanism of five-fold twinned copper nanowires by heating copper(I) chloride with oleylamine at 170 °C is presented. Electron microscopy and UV-visible absorption spectra are used to analyze the growth mechanism of copper nanowires. High-resolution transmis…
A branchlike MoO3/polypyrrole conductive nanocomposite was facilely prepared by wrapping a homogeneous polypyrrole (PPy) layer around MoO3 nanobelts via the in situ oxidative polymerization of a self-assembled pyrrole monomer. X-ray powder diffraction characterization demonstrated that the PPy polymer does not hinder…
We report on the self-assembly of colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets into micrometers long anisotropic needle-like superparticles (SPs), which are formed in solution upon addition of an antisolvent to a stable colloidal dispersion. Optical fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scat…
A series of amphiphilic tyrosine based self-healable, multi-stimuli responsive metallo-hydrogels have been discovered. Formation of these hydrogels is highly selective to Ni(2+) ions. The self-healing property and the stiffness of these metallo-hydrogels can be tuned by varying the chain length of the corresponding ge…
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful spectroscopic technique capable of detecting trace amounts of chemicals and identifying them based on their unique vibrational characteristics. While there are many complex methods for fabricating SERS substrates, there has been a recent shift towards the develo…
This article reviews the mechanisms through which molecules adsorbed to the surfaces of semiconductor nanocrystals, quantum dots (QDs), influence the pathways for and dynamics of intra- and interband exciton relaxation in these nanostructures. In many cases, the surface chemistry of the QDs determines the competition…
Whether a quantum critical point (QCP) lies beneath the superconducting dome has been a long-standing issue that remains unresolved in many classes of unconventional superconductors, notably cuprates, heavy fermions, and, most recently, iron pnictides. The existence of a QCP may offer a route to understanding the orig…
Ternary two-dimensional dichalcogenide alloys exhibit compositionally modulated electronic structure, and hence, control of dopant concentration within each individual layer of these compounds provides a powerful tool to efficiently modify their physical and chemical properties. The main challenge arises when quantify…
