Hydrothermal synthesis of Gd 2 O 3 and iminodiacetic acid (H 2 IDA) yields a three-dimensional (3D) complex {[Gd 2 (IDA) 3 ]·2H 2 O} n ( 1 ) including Gd 16 macrocycles. Magnetic investigation indicates the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interaction between Gd III ions and a large magnetocaloric effect with −Δ S m…
Abstract In the past few years, tremendous progress in power conversion efficiency (PCE) of polymer solar cell (PSC) via design of novel conjugated polymers has been made. In order to further promote PCE, an efficient way is to narrow down optical band gap of the polymers. This review focuses on low band gap polymers…
Small mesopores are more efficient: A mesoprous oxide semiconductor (tungsten trioxide) having small mesopores was crystallized at high temperature (550 °C) by a simple one-step procedure. The highly crystalline mesoporous WO3 has an extremely high surface area which improves the visible-light-driven photoelectrochemi…
Polymer solar cells are fabricated on highly conductive, transparent amorphous zinc indium tin oxide (a-ZITO) electrodes. For two representative active layer donor polymers, P3HT and PTB7, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are comparable to reference devices using polycrystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) electrod…
We report a method to synthesize hollow ZSM-5 single crystals of a size below 100 nm that could function as nanoreactors with access through the zeolite micropores only. In the first step, ZSM-5 is synthesized with the respective crystal size. In the second, the zeolite is base leached and acid washed under mild condi…
We report an aqueous-phase synthetic route to copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using a copper-surfactant complex and tests of their catalytic efficiency for a simple nitrophenol reduction reaction under atmospheric conditions. Highly stable, water-dispersed CuNPs were obtained with the aid of polyacrylic acid (PAA), but n…
Synthesis of 13,14-dimesitylbenz[c]indeno[2,1-a]fluorene (9b), a 2,3-naphthoquinodimethane derivative isolated for the first time, was achieved. The X-ray crystallographic structure and spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of 9b indicate substantial singlet biradical character which is higher than that of 11,1…
Semi-transparent organic photovoltaics are of interest for a variety of photovoltaic applications, including solar windows and hybrid tandem photovoltaics. The figure shows a photograph of our semi-transparent solar cell, which has a power conversion efficiency of 5.0%, with an above bandgap transmission of 34% and a…
We propose a novel quantum spin liquid state that can explain many of the intriguing experimental properties of the low-temperature phase of the organic spin liquid candidate materials $\ensuremath{\kappa}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}(\mathrm{BEDT}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}\mathrm{TTF}{)}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}(\ma…
This paper presents the numerical modeling of a classical switched reluctance motor (SRM) and a mutually coupled SRM (MCSRM); both have three phases with 12 slots and 8 poles. The multiphysics models have been developed, which can take into account the electromagnetic characteristics, mechanical vibration, and acousti…
An alcohol-soluble hyperbranched conjugated polymer HBPFN with a dimethylamino moiety is synthesized and used as a cathode interlayer. A PCE of 7.7% is obtained for PBDTTT-C-T/PC71 BM based solar cells. No obvious interfacial dipole is found at the interface between the active layer and HBPFN however, an interfacial d…
A facile and novel preparation strategy based on electrochemical techniques for the fabrication of electrodeposited graphene (EGR) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposite was developed. The morphology and structure of the EGR-based nanocomposite were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron…
Steam reforming of methane from biogas at a small scale could potentially provide a source of hydrogen for applications such as electricity generation via fuel cells. The efficiency of the reforming process is dependent upon an effective catalyst and thus this work aimed to produce a highly active catalyst for methane…
Transient reflectivity measurements of thin films, ranging from 6 to 40 nm in thickness, of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 reveal a strong dependence of the carrier relaxation time on the film thickness. For thicker films, the relaxation dynamics are similar to those of bulk Bi2Se3, where the contribution of the bul…
An original oral formulation of docetaxel nanocapsules (NCs) embedded in microparticles elicited in rats a higher bioavailability compared with the i.v. administration of the commercial docetaxel solution, Taxotere. In the present study, various animal studies were designed to elucidate the absorption process of docet…
Graphene layers are potential candidates in a large number of applications. However, little is known about their ecotoxicological risks largely as a result of a lack of quantification techniques in complex environmental matrices. In this study, graphene was synthesized by means of graphitization and exfoliation of san…
We investigate methodological issues concerning the direct coexistence method, an increasingly popular approach to evaluate the solid-fluid coexistence by means of computer simulations. The first issue is the impact of the simulation ensemble on the results. We compare the NpT ensemble (easy to use but approximate) wi…
Ferroelectric Si:HfO2has been investigated starting from metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitors over metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) and finally ferroelectric field-effect-transistor (FeFET) devices. Endurance characteristics and field cycling effects recognized for the material itself are shown…
When acoustic waves are impinged on an impedance surface in fluids, it is challenging to alter the vibration of fluid particles since the vibrational direction of reflected waves shares the same plane of the incidence and the normal direction of the surface. We demonstrate a flat acoustic metasurface that generates an…
A simple strategy involving desilication and recrystallization of silicalite-1 in tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) solution was successfully developed to prepare hollow zeolite nanocubes and three-dimensionally macroporous zeolite monoliths. Large voids were introduced to silicalite-1 crystals by controlled silic…
