A method is described to incorporate a zeolite ZSM-5 layer as a potential catalytic coating or membrane into tubular supports by the in situ crystallization of a previously deposited silica layer. The silica layer simult...
Phase-pure urchin-like rutile TiO2 (U-TiO2) submicron (<1 mu m) spheres composed of numerous single-crystalline nanorods are successfully synthesized using a surfactant-free wet-chemical route. In addition, a reliable me...
We investigated a series of bulk heterojunction solar cells and corresponding thin films by blending of an anthracene-containing poly(p-phenylene-ethynylene)-alt-poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) (PPE-PPV) copolymer with variou...
Although much progress has been made in the study of high-mobility organic semiconductors in recent years, one major challenge for organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) in real applications is the relatively high operati...
A facile method for polyimide (PI) coating with enhanced hydrophobicity through the deposition of morphology controlled PI particles is presented. An electrospraying process combined with in situ imidization was employed...
This review article highlights the most recent advances with respect to the preparation of Janus objects by bulk phase processes. Historically most of the concepts developed for generating asymmetric particles have been ...
As one of the most promising low cost alternatives to the traditional p-n junction photovoltaic device, the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has attracted immense attention from academic and industrial researchers in the...
A novel anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte combined with polyfluorene backbone, sulfonate sodium and PEO derivatives in the side chains (PFEOSO3Na) shows super wetting properties on hydrophobic F8BT layers and excellent ...
A facile method to fabricate copper oxide functionalized silver nanowires with high sensitivity to biomolecules is reported for the first time. The enhanced surface roughness of silver nanowire and the molecule capture c...
We reveal in this communication a new finding regarding the use of a sky-blue emitter to generate purplish-blue emission from organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a polarity matching and high-energy exciton generat...
A novel approach to blend organic source and drain electrodes with semiconducting organic single crystals in field-effect transistors is described. The devices fabricated show a very high performance which is ascribed to...
The result of the substitution of Pr3+ by Sr2+ in the 214 Ruddlesden-Popper Pr2NiO4+delta material was studied with regard to its electrochemical properties as a H+-SOFC cathode. Structural characterizations as well as p...
We report the synthesis and electrochemical performance of sub-micron size LiCrTiO4 particles prepared by a solid-state approach. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopic studies are used to analyze the st...
Four semiconducting copolymers were designed and synthesized based on a novel ladder-type heteroheptacene building block, which was prepared in four steps from 3,7-dibromodibenzo[b,d] thiophene. The copolymers were chara...
The initial Coulombic efficiencies of the Li1.2Mn0.567Ni0.166Co0.067O2 lithium-rich material are largely improved by ruthenium substitution for manganese, and the highest value is about 86% with 284 mA h g(-1) initial di...
A novel synthesis approach for silica-based nanotubes (NTs) was discovered in the purely inorganic system containing the molecular compounds OP(NH2)(3), SP(NH2)(3) and SiCl4 in evacuated and sealed silica glass ampoules....
