Perovskites (ABO(3)) with mixed transition-metal cations are of particular interest for high-temperature electrochemical and electrocatalytic devices. In this regard, the effects of Sr doping on the structural and electr...
In this study, the electrochemical properties of graphene nanosheets (GNSs) in alkylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquids/organic solvent electrolytes are investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic char...
This paper presents a novel approach for de-agglomeration and surface functionalization of detonation nanodiamond at the same time in one pot. Various kinds of polymer chains (e.g., polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate a...
Photochromic polyurethanes (PPUs) are synthesised by reaction between a diarylethene end-capped with hydroxyl groups and an aliphatic diisocyanate. In situ polymerisation provides amorphous films with remarkable optical ...
Nanostructured vanadium nitride/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (VN/CNTs) composites for pseudo-capacitor applications were obtained via the sol-gel synthesis of organic or inorganic vanadium oxide precursors followed by te...
A highly transparent and luminescent CdSe quantum dot (QD)/epoxy nanocomposite was prepared by mixing amido-functionalized QDs with an epoxy matrix. The original oleic acid ligand on the QDs was replaced by thioglycolic ...
Square slab-like and flower-like hydrated tungsten oxide three-dimensional architectures were synthesized by acidic precipitation of sodium tungstate solution at mild temperature. Techniques of X-ray diffraction, scannin...
In order to obtain homogeneous dispersion and strong filler-matrix interface in epoxy resin, graphene oxide was functionalized via surface modification by hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and glycidol and then incorporated ...
Here, we report a simple way for water soluble thioglycolic acid (TGA) capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) to spontaneously self-assemble into low-dimensional nanorods from individual nanoparticles; at the same time, the phot...
As a powerful technology to enhance the efficiency of gene delivery, magnetofection has attracted considerable attention in the past decade. In this work, we introduced 6 generation of PAMAM dendrimer modified superparam...
Green chemical synthesis of Au nanoparticles (NPs) has been of great interest because of its potential biomedical applications. In this study, we successfully produced phytochemical-induced Au NPs cofunctionalized with g...
We report the synthesis and formation mechanism of In(2)S(3) porous films composed of ultrathin curved nanoflakes by a simple and environment-friendly biomolecule-assisted hydrothermal process. We find that concentration...
Ce(3+)/Mn(2+)-coactivated Ca(2)Gd(8)(SiO(4))(6)O(2) (CGS) oxyapatite phosphors have been prepared via high temperature solid state reaction process. The Ce(3+) emission at different lattice sites has been identified and ...
A novel, ultrasensitive, selective and flexible sensor strip based on polyaniline/polyamide-6 (PANI/PA-6) nano-fiber/net (NFN) membranes for naked-eye colorimetric detection of Cu(2+) ions in water is successfully prepar...
Flexible and uniquely network-structured polyaniline (PANi) and polypyrrole (PPy) supported Pt and Ag catalysts were synthesized using eggshell membrane as a template and explored for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR...
Novel, water-soluble Zn(2+) doped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were prepared through a one-step hydrothermal route. Due to high temperature and high pressure in the hydrothermal route, the addition of Zn ions and employment o...
