Try to make it ordered! Micrometer-sized PbS–organic mesocrystals show a long-range order of nanoparticles within an fcc superlattice combined with preferred orientational ordering of truncated octahedrally shaped PbS cores (see picture). The concept of formation and structuring of mesocrystalline materials is perfect…
The present study investigated the in vitro antiprotozoal activity of sixteen selected medicinal plants. Plant materials were extracted with methanol and screened in vitro against erythrocytic schizonts of Plasmodium falciparum, intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania infantum and Trypanosoma cruzi and free trypomasti…
On the basis of the reported radical neutral complex [Au(Et-thiazdt)(2)] (Et-thiazdt = N-ethyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate), a series of single-component conductors derived from [Au(Et-thiazdt)(2)], also noted as [AuS(4)(═S)(2)], has been developed, by replacing the outer sulfur atoms of the thiazoline-2-th…
Novel biocompatible poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanofiber mats with favorable biocompatibility and good mechanical strength were prepared, which could serve as an innovative type of tissue engineering scaffold or an ideal controllable drug delivery system. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs, Cefradine and 5-…
We have investigated the crystal structure, nuclear- and electron-density distributions, electronic structure, and oxygen permeation rate of three K 2 NiF 4 -type oxides of Pr 2 (Ni 0.75 Cu 0.25 ) 0.95 Ga 0.05 O 4+ δ, Pr 2 Ni 0.75 Cu 0.25 O 4+ δ, and Sr 2 Ti 0.9 Co 0.1 O 4 –ε, in order to study the role of d 10 Ga 3+,…
A hierarchical graphene material composed of micropore (∼0.8 nm), mesopore (∼4 nm), and macropore (>50 nm) and with a specific surface area up to 1305 m 2 g –1 is fabricated for physisorption hydrogen storage at atmospheric air pressure, showing a capacity over 4.0 wt %, which is significantly higher than reported gra…
The structural and dynamical properties of LiBH 4 confined in porous carbon and ordered porous silica are studied using 1 H, 7 Li, and 11 B solid-state NMR. The 11 B and 7 Li NMR resonances of LiBH 4 confined in porous carbon (broad pore size distribution up to <60 nm) are strongly broadened compared to bulk LiBH 4 .…
Using graphene as an ultrathin support, high-resolution transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM and STEM) images of organic ligand-stabilized silicon (Si) nanocrystals with unprecedented clarity were obtained. TEM images of Si nanocrystals are usually obscured on conventional amorphous carbon T…
Abstract Polyimide ( PI ) nanocomposites with both enhanced thermal conductivity and dimensional stability were achieved by incorporating glycidyl methacrylate‐grafted graphene oxide (g‐ GO ) in the PI matrix. The PI /g‐ GO nanocomposites exhibited linear enhancement in thermal conductivity when the amount of incorpor…
Several series of selectively deuterated 2,2'-bipyridine-based cryptates with the near-IR emissive lanthanoids Pr, Nd, Er, and Yb are reported. The structural and luminescence properties of these complexes have been comprehensively investigated. A combination of experimental techniques (X-ray crystallography, lanthano…
Various substituted dioxythiophenes bearing 3,4-propylenedioxythiophenes (ProDOT) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) moieties successfully undergo Pd-catalyzed direct C–H arylation to yield π-conjugated polymers. The effects of palladium catalysts, phosphine ligands or additives, and functional groups on this facil…
We discuss possible pairing symmetries in the hexagonal pnictide superconductor SrPtAs. The local lack of inversion symmetry of the two distinct conducting layers in the unit cell results in a special spin-orbit coupling with a staggered structure. We classify the pairing symmetry by the global crystal point group ${D…
Supramolecular microcapsules (SMCs) with the drug-loaded wall layers for pH-controlled drug delivery were designed and prepared. By using layer-by-layer (LbL) technique, the SMCs were constructed based on the self-assembly between polyaldenhyde dextran-graft-adamantane (PAD-g-AD) and carboxymethyl dextran-graft-β-CD (…
Herein, we examined the dependence of protein adsorption on the nanoparticle surface in the presence of functional groups. Our UV-visible spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements evidently suggested that the functional groups play an important…
Superhydrophobic polymer surfaces are typically fabricated by combining hierarchical micro-nanostructures. The surfaces have a great technological potential because of their special water-repellent and self-cleaning properties. However, the poor mechanical robustness of such surfaces has severely limited their use in…
Due to large difference in effective masses of light and heavy holes it is usually supposed that the above-barrier current in Schottky barriers on p-type semiconductor is controlled only by the heavy holes. However, in real structures, there is an additional potential barrier caused by a oxide layer at interface. For…
A new microscopic model of the charge Kondo effect is proposed, and is studied on the basis of a numerical renormalization group calculations. It is shown that the charge Kondo effect is caused by a pair hopping interaction between the conduction band and the localized band. It is found that the formation of a charge…
We use ab initio density functional calculations to study the formation and structural as well as thermal stability of cellular foamlike carbon nanostructures. These systems with a mixed sp(2)/sp(3) bonding character may be viewed as bundles of carbon nanotubes fused to a rigid contiguous 3D honeycomb structure that c…
Porous bulk materials are of great interest in catalysis because they can be employed in heterogeneous gas and liquid phase catalysis, electrocatalysis, and in electrocatalytic sensing. Nanoporous gold gained considerable attraction in this context because it is the prime example of a corrosion-derived nanoporous bulk…
Through metabolic engineering microorganisms can be engineered to produce new products and further produce these with higher yield and productivities. Here, we expressed the bacterial polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and we further evaluated the effect of engineering the formatio…
