An Eu(III)-containing polymer can exhibit intense induced circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the presence of proline. In addition, the optical anisotropy factor (g(lum)) of the polymer for (5)D0 → (7)F1/(7)F2 transition was much higher than that of a single model molecule, which reveals the amplification effec…
A solid-state complex utilizing non-covalent interactions between two aromatic cations is synthesized and characterized. The X-ray study of the structure shows that the anion templated π+–π+ interactions are the major driving force in the crystal packing, while π+–π, π–π, π–anion and π+–anion interactions assist the o…
In this communication, we demonstrate for the first time that CNT@Ni/TiO2 nanocomposites were active in the photoreduction of CO2 into methane (CH4) under visible light irradiation. The nanocomposites were synthesized via co-precipitation followed by chemical vapor deposition at 750 °C. Our results showed that the ban…
Insight into the degradation mechanisms of aromatic proton conducting membrane separators for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) is urgently needed for the development of long lifetime VRFBs. Other than in-cell observations of performance degradation, there is little fundamental evidence on the specific degradation…
The biological effects of inhalable nanoparticles have been widely studied in vitro with pulmonary cells cultured under submerged and air-liquid interface (ALI) conditions. Submerged exposures are experimentally simpler, but ALI exposures are physiologically more realistic and hence potentially biologically more meani…
Graphene nanosheets (GNS) were employed as an air electrode for a sodium-air battery (SAB). High discharge capacity of 9268 mA h g(-1) with low overpotential was achieved, indicating its superiority to a normal carbon film electrode. Our results indicate that GNS as air electrodes could improve the electrochemical per…
Hyperbranched polyethylenimine (HPEI) modified polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) was prepared through a water mediated hydrolysis and amidation reaction in an autoclave. The grafting amount of HPEI onto PANF could be modulated conveniently by varying the preparation conditions, such as reaction temperature, reaction time…
Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) are of great interest as a cellular therapeutic agent for regenerative and immunomodulatory purposes. The function of ASC adapts to environmental conditions, such as oxygen tension. Oxygen levels within tissues are typically much lower than under standard culture con…
In this paper, we introduce and investigate each of the following subclasses:
The merits of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) were already known in the 1960s. It was, however, not until the 1990s that UCAs were clinically approved and marketed. In these years, it was realized that the UCAs are not just efficient ultrasound scatterers, but that their main constituent, the coated gas microbubble,…
Anatase TiO2 is considered as one of the promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) because of its nontoxicity, safety, and excellent capacity retention. However, the poor rate capability of TiO2 electrodes, caused by the low electrical conductivity and lithium diffusion coefficient, strongly hinders i…
Mixed metal oxides have been attracting more and more attention recently because of their advantages and superiorities, which can improve the electrochemical performance of single metal oxides. These advantages include structural stability, good electronic conductivity, and reversible capacity. In this work, uniform y…
A new electrochemical sensor for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) detection based on the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and Au nanoparticle composite was developed. The RGO film was first electrodeposited onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Then Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were electrochemically deposited onto the RGO film. The morp…
As the starting point for a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the linear and nonlinear optical susceptibilities, we have used our experimental crystallographic data for Ag0.5Pb1.75GeS3Se (Ag2Pb7Ge4S12Se4) reported. The experimental crystallographic positions were optimized by minimizing the forces acting on e…
In this work, tin selenide thin films (SnSex) were grown on soda lime glass substrates by selenization of dc magnetron sputtered Sn metallic precursors. Selenization was performed at maximum temperatures in the range 300 °C to 570 °C. The thickness and the composition of the films were analysed using step profilometry…
Mechanically responsive polymers harness mechanical energy to facilitate unique chemical transformations and bestow materials with force sensing (e.g., mechanochromism) or self-healing capabilities. A variety of solution- and solid-state techniques, covering a spectrum of forces and strain rates, can be used to activa…
An innovative auxetic-cored sandwich panel (AXP) is proposed. Its perforation resistant performance under high-velocity projectile impact was numerically analyzed using the validated finite element simulation techniques and compared with that of the aluminum foam-cored sandwich panel (AFP) of identical dimensions and…
We report the emission wavelength tunability of an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) fluorophore, 2,4-dibenzothiazolylphenol (2,4-DBTP), and its application to white light generation. In a nonpolar solvent, yellow fluorescent 2,4-DBTP had a maximum emission around 560 nm, but did not absorb light in…
A highly selective fluorescence probe, RIH (rhodamine–isatin hybrid) for Al3+ has been designed and synthesized. This new dual signal (colorimetric and fluorogenic “off–on” type) chemosensing ensemble based on the complex between RIH and Al3+ has also been effective to selectively discriminate PPi from other anions in…
The electrochemical properties of Co-Ni layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as efficient electrocatalysts for water oxidation were investigated in potassium phosphate electrolyte under neutral pH condition. The Co-Ni LDHs with a core-shell structure were fabricated using a facile route from a Co-Ni hydroxide precursor wi…
