The development of promising microwave absorbing materials is a booming field of research in both the commercial and defense sectors to prevent electromagnetic pollution, and also to enrich the field of stealth technology. Supercapacitors are a symbol of clean energy storage devices. The present work attends to the pr…
Syntheses of metal and oxide nanocrystals with cubic crystal structures and well-controlled polyhedral morphologies such as cubic, octahedral, and rhombic dodecahedral shapes exposing, respectively, {100}, {111}, and {110} surfaces enable a more accurate determination of their facet-dependent properties. So far molecu…
Charged active sites are hypothesized to participate in heterogeneously-catalyzed reactions. For example, Auδ+ species at the catalyst surface or catalyst–support interface are thought to promote the thermally-driven CO oxidation reaction. However, the concept of charged active sites is rarely extended to electrochemi…
Highly stable colloidal silver nanoparticles with potent anticancer activity against MCF-7 cells were synthesized using Taxus baccata extracts.
A redox-active gel polymer electrolyte was prepared by introducing KI/VOSO4 redox additives into a polyvinyl alcohol–H2SO4 gel electrolyte for application in a quasi-solid-state electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) based on activated carbon. The EDLC obtained had a high electrode-specific capacitance of 1232.8 F g−1…
The graphene-MnO2-polyaniline (rGO-MnO2-PAn) ternary composites were prepared via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of polyaniline on the MnO2 decorated graphene sheets. The graphene sheets were treated with KMnO4 in a water-ethylene glycol system using the hydrothermal method to complete the loading of MnO2 o…
A dual stimuli-responsive system was constructed by introducing methyl viologen into a luminescent europium-organic framework with a compact packing mode. In addition to absorption and emission properties that are sensitive to both light and heat involving electron/energy transfer processes, the photoactive MOF has a…
Copper nitride (Cu 3 N) thin films were grown by reactive sputtering using a high-throughput combinatorial approach with orthogonal gradients of substrate temperature and target–substrate distance.
Plasmonic absorption of light can lead to significant local heating in metallic nanostructures, an effect that defines the subfield of thermoplasmonics and has been leveraged in diverse applications from biomedical technology to optoelectronics. Quantitatively characterizing the resulting local temperature increase ca…
Nanotechnology is a promising field of interdisciplinary research. It opens up a wide array of opportunities in various fields like insecticides, pharmaceuticals, electronics and agriculture. The potential uses and benefits of nanotechnology are enormous. These include management of insect pests through the formulatio…
Silica nanoclusters were homogeneously dispersed into an end-linked PolyDiMethylSiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Dynamic relaxation, glass and melt crystallization of end-linked PDMS-silica nanocomposites (PDMSnanoSi) were compared to those of PDMS. A particular emphasis is made on the kinetic aspects of these transitions by c…
Binary alloys present a promising venue for band gap engineering and tuning of other mechanical and electronic properties of materials. Here we use the density-functional theory and cluster expansion to investigate the thermodynamic stability and electronic properties of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) binary…
CeO 2 nanoparticles showed a higher toxicity to asparagus lettuce in an agar medium than in aqueous suspensions.
The review addresses the methods for depositing catalytic layers onto metallic structured substrates, specifically focusing on honeycomb monoliths and open-cell foams.
A donor–acceptor (D–A) cruciform conjugated luminophore DMCS-TPA was designed and synthesized. The DMCS-TPA solid shows both aggregation induced emission (AIE) effect and high contrast mechanochromic (MC) behavior with a remarkable spectral shift of 87 nm. The obvious fluorescence switching from yellowish green to ora…
Using dynamic light scattering, we study orientational fluctuation modes in the nematic phase of a self-assembled lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal (LCLC) disodium cromoglycate and measure the Frank elastic moduli and viscosity coefficients. The elastic moduli of splay (K1) and bend (K3) are in the order of 10 pN whi…
We present the advancement in the research of the dispersion of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in thermotropic calamitic liquid crystals. The formation/behavior of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in GNPs is briefly described. The uniform dispersion of GNPs into liquid crystals along with two important aspects, i.e. tuning…
Creation of nanopores on graphene planar sheets is of great significance in promoting the kinetic diffusion of electrolyte and enhancing the utilization efficiency of graphene planar sheets. Herein, we developed a facile chemical vapor deposition strategy to prepare highly porous graphene with flake-like MgO as templa…
Nanoscale silver has been increasingly applied to commercial products for their antimicrobial function as antibiotics and disinfectants. In this work, the different sizes of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were studied not only in Methylobacterium spp . for their antimicrobial potential but also in human peripheral blood…
Inspired by the bio-adhesive ability of the marine mussel, highly hydrogen permselective ZIF-8 membranes with a “reinforced concrete” structure were prepared on polydopamine functionalized inexpensive macroporous stainless-steel-nets.
