Surface modification reactions on inorganic nanoparticles have become a significant tool in attempts to manipulate their physical and chemical properties according to the application's aim. However, overcoming their exte...
We demonstrate electrochemical charge storage and photochemical release of the charge in heterodeposited polymer nanosheets assemblies. Two kinds of redox polymer nanosheets, those containing ruthenium dipyridyl complex ...
Self-assembled mesoporous TiO(2) nanoparticulate material with well-defined nanospherical morphologies was prepared by using DL-aspartic acid as a template. Powder XRD, TEM and SEM techniques were used to characterize th...
We fabricated a highly efficient (with a solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency (eta) of 5.51%), plastic-based, flexible dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The photoanode was made of a crystalline mesoporous TiO(2) fi...
Cellulose materials with photo-reversible wettability were prepared by self-assembling of 7-[(trifluoromethoxyphenylazo)-phenoxy] pentanoic acid (CF3AZO) monolayer onto titania ultrathin film pre-coated nanofibre surface...
The combination of reinforcing fillers is one of the most promising tendencies in elastomer reinforcement, where a synergic effect between them is desired. Up to now, the use of mixed fillers has been focused on the prep...
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) and cadmium selenide (CdSe) are deposited in situ onto mesoporous TiO(2) films. The CdS/CdSe quantum dot (QD) co-sensitized photoelectrodes were used to fabricate all-solid-state quantum-dot-sensiti...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were functionalized by polymer wrapping (CNT-PSS) and oxidation (CNT-COOH), followed by reduction of copper ions in hydrogen atmosphere, producing copper decorated carbon nanotubes (CNT-f@Cu). Thu...
