Recently, undoped semiconductors have been pushed to the frontiers of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) since no spurious ferromagnetism (FM) signal from metal segregation occurs. However, some aspects still remain ...
The modified sol-gel approach to the synthesis of well-structured magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (M-MSNs) was described, which comprised magnetic nanoparticles resided within the mesoporous nanoparticles. A div...
Eu, Si co-doped AlN shows blue luminescence by UV and electron excitation. However, it is not clear how Eu is located in a wurtzite AlN lattice as there is not enough space for a large Eu cation. In the present study, Eu...
Binder-free titania pastes with high viscosity were developed for the preparation of electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells on plastic substrates. The rheological behaviour of the ethanol-based titania pastes with the...
We have developed a transparent, non-sticky silicate nano mold with high mechanical strength and excellent releasing properties through a simple phase conversion process of polyvinylsilazane (PVSZ) replica mold. This ine...
A novel type of waist cross-linked micelle (WCM) was developed as an intelligent drug carrier via the self-assembly guiding free radical polymerization of an amphiphilic oligomer: octadecyl, polyethylene glycol butenedio...
A series of azobenzene-containing polyurethanes (azoPU) was synthesized. The structure of the azoPU and the synthesis process were detected by FTIR and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and the transition temperature was...
We demonstrated the wafer level batch synthesis and fabrication of single semiconducting thermoelectric nanoribbon based devices by Lithographically Patterned Galvanic Displacement (LPGD). The shape, composition, and dim...
Here we report that block copolymer core-shell stars with a novel fluorescent, cross-linked and swollen core can be efficiently prepared by simply cross-linking the poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) block of polystyrene (PS)-...
The atomic layer deposition of CaB2O4 was carried out using bis(tris(pyrazolyl) borate) calcium (CaTp(2)) and water as precursors. CaTp(2) melts at 280 degrees C, undergoes solid state thermal decomposition at 385 degree...
Here we report a versatile one-step method for producing five types of highly monodisperse transition metal oxide/organic hybrid colloids of IVb (Ti, Zr, Hf) and Vb (Nb, Ta) groups with reversibly switchable hydrophobici...
Novel bimetallic superparamagnetic XFe2O4@ Au (X = Fe, Mn and Co) nanocrystals of different sizes were synthesized in high-boiling point ether solvent in two steps. Reduction of gold salts on pre-made seeds in the presen...
Perovskite-like structured catalysts showed satisfactory activity for the low temperature flameless combustion of methane. This process reduces the emission of CO, NOx and unburnt hydrocarbons. Partial metal ion substitu...
Titania materials with structures resembling aerogels are presented in the current contribution. In contrast to the classical routes the aerogel-like TiO2 materials discussed here are prepared exclusively by a high-tempe...
