We demonstrate a general approach by which colloidal anatase TiO(2) nanocrystals with anisotropically tailored linear and branched shapes can safely be processed into high-quality mesoporous photoelectrodes for dye-sensi...
In this paper we describe a versatile microfluidic strategy for simultaneous preparation of quantum dot-encoded microbeads with controllable barcodes. This method involves the generation of multiple dispersed solutions c...
Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)-MN) capped with either oleic acid (Fe(3)O(4)-OA-MN) or polyethylene glycol (Fe(3)O(4)-PEG-MN) were prepared by a co-precipitation method. From X-ray diffraction studies, the av...
The present work reports a novel anticorrosive low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) that can self-assemble in normal ILs (II) through collective intermolecular interactions (ion pairing, H-bonding, pp stacking). TheLMWGis...
Efficacious chemotherapy mainly hinges on the tumor-specific delivery of anticancer drugs. Herein we report a successful fabrication of highly photoluminescent and water dispersible ZnO quantum dots via a new ligand exch...
Monodisperse beta-NaYF(4): Yb, Tm nanocrystals (nanospheres and nanoplates) with a uniform size were successfully synthesized. By tuning the ratios of solvent, reaction temperature, and reaction time, we manipulated thei...
Borosilazane polymers carrying vinyl groups were examined as precursors for shaping and curing polymeric green bodies. The unsaturated C-C bonds present have allowed to cure these blends infusible using the radical start...
Using a rapid microwave-assisted solvothermal approach ultrafine Pt nanoparticles are synthesized and deposited in situ within high aspect ratio nanotube arrays. Adjusting the initial concentration of metal ion precursor...
The synthesis and a comprehensive experimental study of molecular structure, electrochemical properties, photoconductivity, absorption and emission properties of two homologous series of square planar cyclometallated Pd(...
For the first time, we report the degradative ability of CdS QDs on extracellular polysaccharides of E. coli cells. The optimal concentration at which EPS peak enhancement is observed and beyond which concentration the d...
The photocatalytic reduction of CO(2) to value-added chemicals, such as CH(4), is a promising carbon management approach which can generate revenue from chemical sales to offset the cost of implementing CO(2) capture tec...
A novel hierarchical heteronanostructure of ZnO nanowires/WO(x) nanowhiskers was fabricated using a simple two-step process called the thermal evaporation and solution reaction. A high density of thin ZnO nanowires was u...
This article reports the synthesis of iron(0) nanoparticles at moderate temperature-from 120 degrees C to 150 degrees C-using the reduction of the organometallic iron(II) precursor {Fe[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2)}(2) by hexadecyla...
A ratiometric fluorescent pH probe, 4-carboxylaniline-5-chlorosalicylaldehyde Schiff base (1) was synthesized via a facile reaction and used for pH sensing in live cells. While exhibiting weak fluorescence when dispersed...
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles containing clickable functions (azide or alkyne, 1 or 10 mol%) were synthesized by the sol-gel method directly from molecular precursors using CTAB as structure directing agent. Their stru...
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) are a promising alternative for low-cost renewable energy due to their solution-process, flexibility and large-area fabrication. To improve power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSC, a hole tran...
