A series of nanometric isoreticular and/or functionalized analogues of the mesoporous environmentally-friendly iron(III) polycarboxylates MIL-100/101 have been successfully synthesized. Their exceptional pore size, of up to 68 Å, together with their relatively good stability in solvents, makes them promising candidate…
The working principle of semiconductor:insulator blends are discussed, examining the different approaches that have recently been reported in literature.
The interaction between light and matter is the fundamental aspect of many optoelectronic applications. The efficiency of such devices is mainly dictated by the light emitting properties of fluorophores. Unfortunately, the intensity of emission is adversely affected by surface defects, scattering and chemical instabil…
The water-stable frameworks, [Zr6O4(OH)4(X)6(btc)2]·nH2O, where X = formate, acetate, or propionate, exhibit tunable porosity by virtue of systematic modulation of the chain length of the monocarboxylate ligand X.
The cured bio-epoxy resins synthesized from low molecular weight tree bark extractives displayed good mechanical and thermal properties.
Materials that alloy with lithium (Si, Ge, Sn, Sb, and P) are considered as alternatives to graphitic anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Their practical use is precluded by large volume changes (200–370%) during cycling. Embedding nanoparticles into carbon is being investigated as a way to tackle that, and ball milling…
MoS 2 nanoflake array films on different glass substrates were fabricated by an in situ growth method. The nonlinear absorption (NLA) properties of the MoS 2 nanoflake array films were investigated by an open-aperture Z-scan technique. The films exhibited different NLA properties dependent on the input energy.
The poor ion conductivity of LiAlO 2 can be drastically enhanced via the introduction of defects or amorphisation during high-energy ball milling.
We pushed back the limits of molar mass control in aqueous RAFT/MADIX polymerisation through a fast and quantitative gel polymerisation of a series of acrylamido monomers. Unprecedentedly high Mn up to 106 g mol−1 with low dispersities (Đ < 1.2) was achieved in homopolymerisation, statistical and block copolymerisatio…
Microspherical K 2 CO 3 -activated carbons for methane storage or biogas upgrade: high surface areas and packing density, tuneable microporosity, and CO 2 –CH 4 selectivity.
The redox activity of metal ions can lead to the formation of highly reactive species that damage DNA, producing different oxidation products and types of damage depending upon the redox potentials of the DNA bases, formation of intermediate adducts, and identity of the reactive species. Other factors are also importa…
Copper terephthalate MOF is utilised as an environmentally benign, efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst to effect the aerobic homocoupling of arylboronic acids yielding the corresponding symmetrical biphenyls under mild reaction conditions. This method tolerates various substituents present in arylboronic aci…
Lithium-ion battery electrodes rely on a percolated network of solid particles and binder that must maintain a high electronic conductivity in order to function. Coupled mechanical and electrochemical simulations may be able to elucidate the mechanisms for capacity fade. We present a framework for coupled simulations…
Two isoreticular two-fold interpenetrated microporous Zn( ii )-MOFs are compared with each other for the encapsulation of iodine.
Metal hydrazone complexes were entrapped in the cavities of zeolite by fixed ligand method and their catalytic activity was studied towards the oxidation of benzhydrol and degradation of rhodamine-B.
Increasing consumption of tobacco and alcohol has led to a steady increase in the incidence of head and neck cancers in Asia. The drawbacks associated with the existing chemotherapeutic and surgical interventions have necessitated the development of a safer alternative for therapy of head and neck cancers. In this stu…
Direct selective laser sintering (SLS) or selective laser melting (SLM) are additive manufacturing techniques that can be used to produce three-dimensional ceramic parts directly, without the need for a sacrificial binder. In this paper, a low laser energy density is applied to SLS/SLM high density powder layers of su…
A facile strategy has been developed to introduce six-coordinated nickel clusters to zinc-based ZIF-8 structure via a one-pot mechanochemical synthesis. This Ni-substituted ZIF-8 can selectively pick different alcohol molecules and undergo a de-coordination to form stable four-coordinated Ni clusters which shows excep…
Polymer networks are critically important for numerous applications including soft biomaterials, adhesives, coatings, elastomers, and gel-based materials for energy storage. One long-standing challenge these materials present lies in understanding the role of network defects, such as dangling ends and loops, developed…
The objective of this work was the investigation of CdS grown by CBD on commercial glass and glass covered by Indium Tin oxide (ITO) substrates. Both ITO and CdS are window layers influencing the photovoltaic response of the cell. CBD technology offers the deposition of a thin uniform film with a minimal thickness on…
