A construction strategy for ratiometric fluorescent nanosensors based on water soluble C-dots was developed, which could sense temperature (10-82 °C), pH values (lower than 6.0 or higher than 8.6) and Fe(3+) ions (>0.04 μM) by monitoring the intensity ratios of dual fluorescence bands (Ib/Ig) under 380 nm excitation.…
Liposomes are a class of well-established drug carriers that have found numerous therapeutic applications. The success of liposomes, together with recent advancements in nanotechnology, has motivated the development of various novel liposome-like nanostructures with improved drug delivery performance. These nanostruct…
The visible green and red upconversion emissions in Er(3+)/Yb(3+) doped β-NaGdF4 nanoparticles were enhanced by tridoping with Fe(3+) ions (0-40 mol%). XRD, XPS, ICP-AES and EDS data demonstrated successful incorporation of Fe(3+) ions in NaGdF4:Yb(3+)/Er(3+) nanoparticles. The effect of Fe(3+) tridoping on the upconv…
This review focuses on side-chain functionalized polymers derived from direct (co)polymerization of fluorescent dyes. This overview about polymerizable dyes includes 1,8-naphthalimides, fluoresceins, rhodamines, coumarins, azo-dyes, oxadiazoles, diverse aromatic dyes as well as selected other dyes that cannot be class…
We report an efficient, highly selective, and low temperature graphene-catalyzed reaction process for one-step oxidation of benzene to phenol with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. The chemically converted graphene (CCG) from small graphite was used as the catalyst. The conversion of benzene reaches 18%, with phenol b…
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) by fungi is emerging as an important branch of nanotechnology due to its ecofriendly, safe, and cost-effective nature. In order to increase the yield of biosynthesized SNPs of desired shape and size, it is necessary to control the cultural and physical parameters during the syn…
Gold nanoparticles have been used as effective surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates for decades. However, the origin of the enhancement and the effect of the size of nanoparticles still need clarification. Here, gold nanoparticles with different sizes from 17 to 80 nm were synthesized and characterize…
With abundant energy levels of 4f electron configurations, trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln(3+)) are endowed with unique and fascinating luminescent properties. Inheriting the native transition behaviour of the lanthanide ions, Ln(3+) based nanomaterials have aroused great interest for a wide range of applications, inclu…
The codoping effect of Zn(2+) ions on luminescence emission in visible and near infrared (NIR) regions of Y2O3:Ho(3+)-Yb(3+) phosphor prepared by low temperature combustion process have been investigated under 980 nm and 448 nm excitations. The phase and crystallite size of the prepared phosphor were determined by X-r…
Integration of nanoparticles (NPs) and other nanomaterials with existing technologies must take place in order to substantially widen the spectrum of their applications. This task can be simplified by taking advantage of NP assemblies provided that they retain the unique properties of nanomaterials in organized system…
Ni–Fe layered double hydroxide/graphene hybrids were synthesized by a one-pot in situ solvothermal route. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses showed that the formation of Ni–Fe layered double hydroxide (Ni–Fe LDH) and the reduction of graphene oxide occurred simultaneously during the one-po…
Novel reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/CuS nanocomposites, featuring CuS microspheres embedded in reduced graphene oxide (RGO) layers, are successfully fabricated by using an in situ growth approach in the presence of cexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) under mild wet-chemical conditions (140 °C). Characterization…
In this review, the main concept of ferroelectricity of perovskite oxides and related materials at nanometer scale and existing difficulties in the synthesis of those nanocrystals are discussed. Important effects, such as depolarization field and size effect, on the existence of ferroelectricity in perovskite nanocrys…
Halloysite, naturally occurring clay nanotubes, is described as an additive for functional polymer composites. Due to the empty tubular lumen capable of being loaded with chemically active agents, halloysite provides additional functions (drug delivery, antibiotic, flame-retardant, anticorrosion, and crack self-healin…
Optical temperature sensing characteristics based on the ultraviolet (UV) upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Gd3+ ions are reported here for the first time. Under 980 nm excitation, the temperature dependence five-photon UV UCL from the 6PJ and 6IJ levels of Gd3+ ions in NaLuF4:Yb3+, Tm3+, Gd3+ microcrystals were inve…
By the combination of prior knowledge, observation skills, and novel synthetic approaches, we discovered a family of mesoporous molecular sieves including discrete structures - MCM-41 (hexagonal), MCM-48 (cubic), and MCM-50 (lamellar). These materials were formed unlike that of our classical microporous structures inv…
Developing low-temperature deNOx catalysts with high catalytic activity, SO2-tolerance and stability is highly desirable but remains challenging. Herein, by coating the mesoporous TiO2 layers on carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-supported MnOx and CeOx nanoparticles (NPs), we obtained a core-shell structural deNOx catalyst with…
Porous carbon materials can be used in catalysis either as catalysts or supports. The most relevant literature on this topic is reviewed, emphasizing the methods used for tuning the surface chemistry and textural properties of the carbon materials, in order to design improved catalysts.
A series of polycrystalline Ba5Gd8Zn4O21:Eu3+ phosphors were synthesized by a solid state reaction for the first time. The crystal structures were examined by means of X-ray diffraction. The luminescence spectra and decay curves were investigated as a function of Eu3+ concentration and temperature. It was found that t…
Physical aging is a ubiquitous phenomenon in glassy materials and originates from the fact that they are generally out-of-equilibrium. Due to the technological and fundamental implications, this phenomenon has been deeply investigated in the last decades especially in glassy polymers. Here we provide a critical review…
