In this paper, the structural and electronic properties of ternary SnS(x)Se(1-x) semiconductor nanocrystals were systematically investigated through both experimental and computational methods. It reveals that the E(g) c...
alpha-Co(OH)(2) hierarchical nanoflowers were synthesized using a microemulsion as a nanoreactor. These structures were self-assembled from cobalt hydroxide nanoflakes and possessed flower-like morphology with a diameter...
This paper demonstrates the employment of a multi-emissive-layer device architecture with smooth cascading energy levels to improve markedly the efficiency, roll-off, and color-stability of a fluorescent yellow organic l...
Si nanowires (SiNWs)-carbon nanofibers (CNFs) branched structures with variation in carbon densities were synthesized. SiNWs with critical density of CNFs show the best electrochemical performance, which is attributed to...
Bis(2,2'-bipyridine)(5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium(II) functionalized gold nanoparticles with electrochemiluminescence activity were successfully synthesized by a simple one-pot method via the reduction of HAuCl...
Functionalized graphene-polyvinylidene fluoride (f-G-PVDF) nanocomposite films were synthesized using a simple solvent casting technique. The investigation demonstrates the real time strain response of f-G-PVDF nanocompo...
BCNO phosphor nanofibers, composed of polycrystalline-BCN and B(2)O(3) crystal, were prepared by electrospinning followed by calcination at 700 degrees C. These showed intense green and yellow emissions under UV-light ir...
Efficient n-type doping of ZnS nanoribbons (NRs) were accomplished by using chlorine (Cl) as the dopant via thermal evaporation. An indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode was used to achieve ohmic contact to the Zn...
In organic electronics, organic crystals are essential materials, and metal deposition on organic surfaces is an important process. We report light-controlled metal deposition on photosensitive organic crystals. Light ir...
We describe a novel combinatorial aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (cAACVD) technique to deposit gallium-doped indium oxide thin films. The oxide films, Ga(x)In(2-x)O(3) (where x = 0.4-1.6) were deposited with...
Amine and carboxylic acid-bifunctionalized iron oxide nanoparticles with robust silane linkages to the nanoparticle surface were prepared with a versatile direct grafting protocol. The contrast in chemistry of these two ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of a Bioglass spherical nanoparticle (similar to 6 nm diameter) have been carried out to investigate the main structural features induced by the reduced size, which could play a specific ro...
The highly porous, three-dimensionally well-connected through-pore structure of TiO(2) aerogels is proven a superior material form for applications in photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production. At the reacti...
A new material based on aminated and cross-linked methylated melamine grafted poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) was synthesized and used as a membrane for an alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cell (AAEMFC). FT-IR spectra sh...
Conventional low molecular weight gadolinium based Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents such as Magnevist (R) are very useful for imaging tissues. However, at the high magnetic fields used in modern MRI equip...
Polyaniline (PANi) microtube arrays were synthesized by a secondary-template (fir wood and ZnO microtube array) method and confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). High magnification SEM observation revealed that...
