Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an experimental tool for accessing vibrational and chemical information, down to the single molecule level. SERS typically relies on plasmon excitations in metal nanostructures to concentrate the incident radiation and to provide an enhanced photon density of states to cou…
Currently, one of the biggest challenges in the field of pseudocapacitors is their capacitance value. Current knowledge on improving specific capacitance values is mainly focused on the synthesis of electrode materials with different structures and sizes. However, no studies have addressed using soluble inorganic salt…
A series of thermo-responsive “hairy-rod” polypeptides was efficiently synthesized by grafting of azide-terminated (co)polymers of 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (MEO2MA) or 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (MEO3MA) (i.e., N3-PMEOiMA) onto poly(γ-propargyl-L-glutamate) (PPLG) through a “click” re…
Three π-electron rich fluorescent supramolecular polymers (1–3) have been synthesized incorporating 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol groups in reasonable yield by employing Sonagashira coupling. They were characterized by multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C), ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses [1 = 1-(2-methyl-3-butyn-2-…
The interaction between the plenary Keggin H3PW12O40, lacunary Keggin K7PW11O39 and the Eu(III)-substituted Keggin K4EuPW11O39 (Eu-Keggin) type polyoxometalates (POMs), and the proteins human and bovine serum albumin (HSA and BSA) was studied using steady state and time-resolved Eu(III) luminescence and tryptophan (Tr…
A composite electrode consisting of hybrid nanonet/nanoflower NiO deposited on carbon fiber paper scaffolds demonstrates a much-improved areal capacitance (0.93 F cm−2) while maintaining high rate capability and excellent cycling life. These performance characteristics are attributed to the unique electrode architectu…
Block copolymers with metals confined in one or more blocks are emerging as candidate materials for nanomanufacturing applications due to their unprecedented nanoscale pattern transfer capabilities. In this article we highlight recent developments in metal-containing block copolymers in terms of their novel synthetic…
Here we report a suite of approaches for the isolation of asymmetrically grafted organic–inorganic hybrid Mn–Anderson polyoxometalate compounds (TBA)3[MnMo6O18((OCH2)3CNHR1)((OCH2)3CNHR2)] (where TBA = tetrabutylammonium). Both a “pre-functionalization” route (for compound 1 – R1 = –COC14H9, R2 = –H) using two differe…
Rare-earth phosphors with tunable optical properties are used in display panels and fluorescent lamps and have potential applications in lasers and bioimaging. This work reported the preparation, structure and photoluminescence of the unilamellar nanosheets containing Tb3+/Eu3+ delaminated from layered rare-earth hydr…
Sulfur-containing glycodendrimers have steadily emerged over a few decades and this review describes the first survey of this field. Although the contribution of sulfur chemistry to glycodendrimers could be seen at the moment as a development of various linking strategies, there is more than synthesis because the pres…
A very simple and versatile polymer assembly approach was developed. We use methoxy-mercapto-poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG-SH) to conjugate multiple Au shapes to form dense Au monolayer films (MLFs) with 5 nm gaps and generate gigantic enhancement. The results of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method to calcula…
The performance of pseudocapacitors usually depends largely on careful manipulation of nano-architectures and suitable composition of the active materials. Herein, NiTi layered double hydroxide (LDH) thin films with uniform density were synthesized by a process including two hydrothermal treatment steps and the compos…
Gold nanoparticles were deposited on carbon nanotubes to provide access to a nanohybrid structure which was involved in the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. The nanohybrid-catalyzed reaction was shown to be highly efficient under mild conditions (i.e. room temperature, air) and selective oxidation of alcohols to the cor…
An existing phase-fieldmodel of two immiscible fluids with a single soluble surfactant present is discussed in detail. We analyze the well-posedness of the model and provide strong evidence that it is mathematically ill-posed for a large set of physically relevant parameters. As a consequence, critical modifications t…
Relatively low quantum yield (QY), time-consuming scanning and strong absorption of light in tissue are some of the issues present in the development of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for biomedical applications. In this paper we systematically optimize several aspects of optical excitation of UCNPs to improve the…
In this article, rare earth (RE) ion doped β-NaGdF4 crystals with multicolor up-conversion (UC) emissions and paramagnetic properties were synthesized via a simple one-step precipitation method at room-temperature for the first time. Different surfactants, including Na2EDTA, PVP, SDS, and Na2tar, were introduced to co…
The exploration of nanomaterials as catalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution is highly desirable for renewable and clean energy applications. We have obtained highly efficient and stable copper nanoparticles (4–6 nm) by thermal decomposition of aligned copper oxalate nanorods (obtained by a microemulsion method) in…
The mesoporous carbon fibers, of about 400 to 900 nm in diameter, have been synthesized by an electrospinning method with PF resin and PVP as carbon sources and triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as mesoporous templates. All materials have large surface areas (1215–2092 m2 g−1), high…
A versatile ionothermal strategy is proposed to synthesize nanostructured nickel compounds as energy storage materials, such as Ni(NH3)6Cl2 crystals, nanosheet-like NiCl2, nanoflower-like (NF) α-Ni(OH)2, and mesoporous NF-NiO. The primal solution is a choline chloride (ChCl)–urea mixture-based ionic liquid with nickel…
