Water soluble oligomers of cellulose were produced by milling acidulated microcrystalline cellulose. Acids with low pKa were found to be more effective for the treatment. The yield of water soluble fraction was proportional to the increasing severity of milling or the acid amount. Soluble oligomers were found to have…

Plasmonic core-shell nanoparticles (PCSNPs) can function as nanoantennas and improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). To achieve maximum enhancement, the morphology of PCSNPs needs to be optimized. Here we precisely control the morphology of Au@TiO2 PCSNPs and systematically study its influence on…

One of the challenges in designing recycled asphalt mixtures with a high amount of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is estimating the blending degree between RAP binder and added virgin bitumen. The extent of blending is crucial because asphalt concrete response is influenced by the final binder properties. This paper…

A new highly twisted asymmetric anthracene derivative with naphthalene and triphenylamine substituted xylene was synthesized as an extremely deep blue emitting material. A non-doped device using the new asymmetric blue emitter displays a maximum EQE of 4.62% with CIE color coordinates of (0.154, 0.049).

An integrated self-charging power cell (SCPC) is realized from a CuO/PVDF nanocomposite piezo-anode. The efficiency of the integrated SCPC is higher than that of the non-integrated SCPC. The intimate and large contact between CuO and PVDF results in an effective use of the piezoelectric field in the internal piezo-ele…

Unlike most conventional anode materials, the newly developed TiNb2O7 (TNO) does not form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer, which makes it safe for high power requiring lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, we demonstrated an SBA-15 confined synthetic approach to prepare TNO nanoparticles (S-TNO) with a small…

Organic–inorganic hybrid solar cells were expected to adopt the advantages of both organic and inorganic materials. Due to several crucial problems, the power conversion efficiency of most hybrid solar cells was lower than 1%. Recent work reported the highest power conversion efficiency of a hybrid solar cell as 11.3%…
