Organic conductive polymers are at the forefront of materials science research because of their diverse applications built around their interesting and unique properties. This work reports for the first time a correlation between the structural, electrical, and electromagnetic properties of polyaniline (PANI)-tetragon…
A novel 3D composite hydrogel composed of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets and α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (rGO/α-Fe2O3) was synthesized via a two-step process in a solution phase technique. The experimental results show the composite has an interconnected 3D porous network with micrometer pores, and the α-Fe2O3 nanopartic…
OBJECTIVE: To synthesize silver nanopaticles from leaves extract of Eucalyptus chapmaniana (E. chapmaniana) and test the antimicrobial of the nanoparticles against different pathogenic bacteria, yeast and its toxicity against human acute promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cell line. METHODS: Ten milliliter of leaves extra…
Owing to their "dual" affinity, amphiphiles self-assemble in water to form different kinds of nanoscale multimolecular assemblies ranging from simple micelles and vesicles to highly organized fibers, helices and tubes. In this tutorial review the aggregates formed in water by head/tail amphiphiles are revisited and di…
Novel RGO–hematite nanocomposites have been successfully fabricated using a surfactant-governed approach in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) under mild wet chemical conditions (105 °C). A series of characterization methods including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (S…
This review is intended to introduce recent progress in the characterization, synthesis and catalysis of hydrotalcite (HT) and HT-related materials. NMR, in situ neutron diffraction and TG–DTA techniques have been used to determine the local structure and structural changes of HT. Various synthetic methods of controll…
With the advancements in nanotechnology, studies on the synthesis, modification, application, and toxicology evaluation of nanomaterials are gaining increased attention. In particular, the applications of nanomaterials in biological systems are attracting considerable interest because of their unique, tunable, and ver…
Reported here is a green synthesis of graphitic carbon quantum dots (GCQDs) as a fluorescent sensing platform for the highly sensitive and selective detection of Fe3+ ions. Through the electrochemical ablation of graphite electrodes in ultrapure water, uniform GCQDs with graphitic crystallinity and oxygen containing g…

Herein, we report a facile hydrothermal and thermal decomposition process which is successfully developed to grow 3D NiCo2O4 micro-spheres constructed with radial chain-like NiCo2O4 nanowires with different exposed…
Heat transfer can differ distinctly at the nanoscale from that at the macroscale. Recent advancement in computational and experimental techniques has enabled a large number of interesting observations and understanding of heat transfer processes at the nanoscale. In this review, we will first discuss recent advances i…
Understanding the interaction of small metal clusters and isolated atoms with oxide surfaces is crucial in order to rationalize the properties of heterogeneous catalysts composed of sub-nanometer metal particles dispersed on an oxide support. The interaction with the oxide surface can significantly alter the original…
A facile route has been developed to synthesise and isolate sulphur doped fluorescent carbon dots for the first time. Such carbogenic quantum dots exhibit a wide band gap of 4.43 eV with a high open circuit voltage (VOC) of 617 mV along with a fill factor (FF) as high as 37%, using phenyl-C60-butyric acid methyl ester…
CoMoO4 nanoplate arrays (NPAs) were grown directly on Ni foam via a template-free hydrothermal route. The morphology of CoMoO4 NPAs was examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and the phase structure of nanoplates (NPs) was analyzed using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Based on a series of time-depe…
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are under intensive investigation since the 1980's as these devices open the way for ecologically clean direct conversion of the chemical energy into electricity, avoiding the efficiency limitation by Carnot's cycle for thermochemical conversion. However, the practical development of SOFC…
