Transparent and conductive single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films were fabricated through gel coating. A gel was formed by directly dispersing a large amount of SWCNTs in a liquid nonionic surfactant like polyoxyeth...
Low color temperature (CT) lighting sources are crucial for their low suppression of melatonin secretion, and high power efficiency is essential for energy-saving. This study demonstrates the incorporation of a blend int...
We demonstrate the improving balance of carrier mobilities in neat-film light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) utilizing a cationic transition metal complex (CTMC) as the emissive material and a cationic near-infrar...
A general method to prepare thin, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coatings on magnetic Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) with a uniform core-shell structure for the recognition and enrichment of protein was developed. Fo...
TiO(2) nanoparticles with anatase/rutile mixed phase and <100 nm in size were surface-modified using hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and sulfosuccinic acid (SA), which can coordinate to the TiO(2) precursor, titanium(IV...
A chemical treatment for preparing high purity selectively oxidised SWNTs while preserving optical/electronic properties of the material has been developed. Efficient removal of both metal and carbonaceous impurities has...
The copper(II) complex of 1,1,5,5-tetra-iso-propyl-2-thiobiuret [Cu(SON(CN(i)Pr(2))(2))(2)], has been synthesized and its single crystal X-ray structure determined. The complex has been used as a single source precursor ...
Three commercial sugar substitutes (acesulfame K, cyclamate and saccharin), a bitterness inhibitor (ferulate) and a flavour potentiator (theobromine) have been intercalated into three common layered double hydroxide (LDH...
An alpha-diimine compound (DC) bearing multiple hydroxyl and amine groups presents excellent self-assembly behavior, yielding DC self-assemblies with tunable morphologies ranging from solid spheres, nanotubes and capsule...
Nanocrystals from non-toxic, earth abundant materials have recently received great interest for their potential large-scale application in photovoltaics and photocatalysis. Here, we report for the first time on the shape...
In this work, a cinnamate derivative has been synthesized and infiltrated into a silica colloidal crystal template together with methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate to construct cinnamate-based inver...
A new chemical approach for obtaining excellent cycleability of natural graphite is designed and introduced for use as an anode in lithium ion batteries. Here, we evaluate the electrochemical properties of natural graphi...
We present an alternative route to fabricate Cu nanowires having various classes of morphologies by controlling the deposition temperature. A rough nanowire with an irregular wire diameter along the wire axis is obtained...
Mn-doped ZnSe nanocrystals (Mn:ZnSe d-dots) that emit white light were synthesized in aqueous media in microfluidic reactors. White light emission from Mn: ZnSe d-dots was a result of combined emission of blue light (emi...
Self-adaptive wettability is built on fibrous textile material through a simple one-step fabric treatment with nanotitania followed by controlled exposure to "light" and "dark". The self-adaptive feature created a fabric...
Nickel phosphide (Ni(2)P) hollow spheres were facilely prepared via an organic-phase strategy using nickel(II) acetylacetonate as a metal precursor, trioctylphosphine as a phosphorus source, and octyl ether as solvent. A...
