The effects of citric acid (CA) and ammonium (NH4+) ions on the structural and morphological transformations of olivine LiFePO4 upon hydrothermal treatment are systematically investigated, as a function of reaction time,...
The structural attributes of the polyamorphic high-and low-density amorphous phases in Y2O3-Al2O3 glasses with 24-41 mol % Y2O3 have been investigated using high-resolution Al-27 and Y-89 nuclear magnetic resonance spect...
Several samples of pure Li2FeSiO4 polymorphs, prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and then quenched from either 400 degrees C (Pmn2(1)), 700 degrees C (P2(1)/n), or 900 degrees C (Pmnb), were thoroughly investigated by Mo...
Two new titania-based nanostructures namely, hexagonally packed titania hoops (HTHs) and modified large compound vesicles (LCVs) were created in polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO)/titania microspheres by coupl...
The structure of Li4Ti6O12 was investigated by neutron powder diffraction, and the study revealed unprecedented details about lithium migration at high temperatures. A commercial sample of the battery anode material Li4T...
We report a novel approach for the assembly of one-dimensional hybrid nanostructures that consist of gold nanowires with ultrahigh aspect ratios (L/d > 500) self-assembled along the axes of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. ...
Reaction mechanisms in three atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes using Ir(acac)(3) as a precursor were studied: Ir(acac)(3)-O-2 process at 300 degrees C for Ir deposition, Ir(acac)(3)-O-3 process at 195 degrees C for...
We demonstrate an ultrafast method for the formation of, graphene supported Pt catalysts by the co-reduction of graphene oxide and Pt salt using ethylene glycol under microwave irradiation conditions. Detailed analysis o...
A new direct synthesis methodology for the preparation of mesoporous titania with hexagonal mesostructure and with walls of tunable crystallinity and crystallite size has been developed. As the crystallites grow they eve...
A polyphenylenevinylene derivative electroluminescent polymer was successfully incorporated into the channels of mesoporous silica SBA-15 with platelet morphology, and the obtained material was fully characterized by mea...
Mesoporous carbon composite thin films (<500 nm) containing cobalt and vanadium oxide were synthesized by triconstituent self-assembly using Pluronic F127 as template, phenol-formaldehyde oligomer (resol) as carbonizable...
