Self-healing protective coatings based on different types of nanocontainers of corrosion inhibitors have been recently developed and reported as promising solutions for many industrial applications. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocontainers are among the most interesting systems since they confer the delivery of i…
The understanding of the interactions between nanomaterials and proteins is of extreme importance in medicine. In a biological fluid, proteins can adsorb and associate with nanoparticles, which can have significant impact on the biological behavior of the proteins and the nanoparticles. We report here on the interacti…
Nanogold has been found to be an effective catalyst for many chemical reactions. However, mechanistic studies have thus far only met with limited success, largely due to the unavailability of well-defined catalysts. We are motivated to create atomically precise gold (Au) nanoclusters in the hope of unraveling some fun…
The ability to produce low-cost, hierarchically-structured and nanopatterned inorganic materials could potentially revolutionize the way we fabricate photovoltaic, energy storage, and optoelectronic devices. In nature, many organisms carry out the hierarchical assembly of metal oxide materials through cellular and bio…
Linking polymetallic cages can be a method for creating new structures and new properties. In this tutorial review we use heterometallic anti-ferromagnetically coupled rings (AF-rings) as exemplars for three approaches that can be used to link cage compounds. The first of three routes involves an ion-pair interaction…
BACKGROUND: Many different types of nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles being just a category among them, offer exciting opportunities for technologies at the interfaces between chemistry, physics and biology. Some magnetic nanoparticles have already been utilized in clinical practice as contrast enhancing agents fo…
The electronic structure of the zero-gap two-dimensional graphene has a charge neutrality point exactly at the Fermi level that limits the practical application of this material. There are several ways to modify the Fermi-level-region of graphene, e.g. adsorption of graphene on different substrates or different molecu…
One-dimensional (1D) magnetic inorganic-organic hybrid nanomaterials bear both the intrinsic magnetic properties of the inorganic components and the functionality and responsiveness of their organic part. In this tutorial review, we first emphasize various synthetic strategies for this type of materials: (i) template-…
Coumarin, a traditional perfume substance, serves as a photosensitive crosslinker to construct a polyurethane network. Upon mechanical damage or ultraviolet illumination at a wavelength of 254 nm, the coumarin dimers on the fractured surface that link the polyurethane backbones with one another are cleft, and can be r…
This themed issue of Chemical Society Reviews reviews recent progress made in hybrid materials science. Guest editors Clément Sanchez, Susumu Kitagawa and Ken Shea introduce the issue and the academic and industrial importance of the field.
In this perspective we explore the use of strategies from drug discovery, pattern recognition, and machine learning in the context of computational materials science. We focus our discussion on the development of donor materials for organic photovoltaics by means of a cheminformatics approach. These methods enable the…
Highly oriented and transparent ZnO thin films have been fabricated on ultrasonically cleaned quartz substrates by the sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS, FTIR, photoluminescence and SEM are used to characterize ZnO thin films. X-ray diffraction study show that all the films prepared in this work have hexago…
CuCrO2 is the most promising Cu-based delafossite for p-type optoelectronic devices. Despite this, little is known about the p-type conduction mechanism of this material, with both CuI/CuII and CrIII/CrIV hole mechanisms being proposed. In this article we examine the electronic structure, thermodynamic stability and t…
Highly ordered mixed V(2)O(5)-TiO(2) nanotubes can be formed by self-organizing anodization of Ti-V alloys with vanadium content of up to 18 at%. In the resulting oxide nanotube arrays, the vanadium is electrochemically switchable leading to a specific capacitance that can reach up to 220 F g(-1) and an energy density…
Nanostructured cubic lyotropic liquid crystalline colloidal particles (Cubosomes™) are of interest for applications such as drug and biomedical imaging agent encapsulation systems. Maintaining the stability and integrity of these nanoparticles over time is essential for their storage and application. It is well known…
Molybdate-based inorganic–organic hybrid disks with a highly ordered layered structure were synthesized via an acid–base reaction of white molybdic acid (MoO3·H2O) with n-octylamine (C8H17NH2) in ethanol at room temperature. The thermal treatment of the as-obtained molybdate-based inorganic–organic hybrid disks at 550…
A rapid and efficient one-step approach to prepare graphene-Ag nanocomposites by simultaneous reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and silver ions with formaldehyde as the reducing agent within several minutes was demonstrated.
Mildly oxidized graphene oxide (MOGO) was achieved by chemical exfoliation of graphite through a modified Hummers' method. The MOGO is not only able to be stably dispersed in water at a high concentration (1 mg mL−1), but also preserves the highly crystalline structure of the conjugated carbon framework. Thus, the MOG…
Metal phosphonate chemistry is a highly interdisciplinary field, as it encompasses several other areas, such as materials chemistry, gas storage, pharmaceutics, corrosion control, classical chemical synthesis, X-Ray crystallography, powder diffraction, etc. It has also acquired additional significance due to "Metal-Or…
A general template-assisted electrochemical approach was used to synthesize three-dimensional ordered Ni core-NiO shell inverse opals (IOs) as electrodes for supercapacitors. The Ni-NiO IO electrodes displayed pseudo-capacitor behavior, good rate capability and cycling performance.
