CuZn1-xAlxS2 (CZAS) thin films deposited by the chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP) technique exhibit reversible electrical bistability in current-voltage measurements. The threshold voltage and current for switching can be t...
(Pt-C-60)@SiO2 nanocomposites with a core-shell structure have been successfully synthesized by a step-by-step method. These hollow nanocomposites are capable of reversible hydrogen storage at appropriate temperature and...
The EL performance of the tandem structured phosphor/polymer/SWCNT composite was greatly increased by structural and material effects, which led to increased tunneling charge carriers into phosphor, resulting in improved...
Free-standing, three-dimensional (3D) indium-tin oxide monoliths with an interconnected pore structure have been prepared using a non-alkoxide preparative method. This approach aids in the formation of stable frameworks ...
Brick-and-mortar microstructures of graphene oxide-polyethylene glycol (PEG) composite papers were easily prepared with large area. The freezing point of the PEG intercalated into the shaped composite paper could be succ...
Sulphur-doped graphene was successfully fabricated and its influence on the discharge product formation in lithium-oxygen batteries was demonstrated. The growth and distribution of the discharge products were studied and...
For the first time, we report that a single crystal of (K-crypt)(2)Bi-2 containing [Bi-2](2-) displays ultra-broad near-infrared photoluminescence (PL) peaking at around 1190 nm and having a full width at the half maximu...
A facile self-templating approach for the synthesis of surface-grafted conjugated brushes has been introduced here. Polymeric chains containing acetylene moieties were first grafted from a gold surface and then the side ...
Pure silica CHA type zeolite (Si-CHA) was used in a high pressure swing adsorption for CO2 separation in the presence of water. The effective CO2 adsorption capacity was much higher than that of zeolite 13X, and was not ...
Ultrasmall upconversion (UC) nanoparticles with efficient multicolor photoluminescence (PL) are quite desirable for high contrast in vitro and in vivo bioimaging. Here, we present a simple and reproducible thermolysis ap...
Seeking highly-efficient, low-cost and robust methods to disinfect and decontaminate water from source to point-of-use is very much in demand. Here, we developed a new material, graphene sponge (GS), for water treatment,...
Atomic layer deposition is used to deposit crystalline anatase TiO2 on 500 nm silica support particles over a range of shell thicknesses. The core-shell morphology combines nanometer thickness titania with silica that is...
The crystal structure of Ca4Si2O7F2:Eu2+,Mn2+ was refined and determined from X-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles obtained using a synchrotron light source by the Rietveld refinement method. It was found to crystallize into...
La1-xSrxCoO3 is a leading candidate oxide electrode material for replacing standard metal electrodes. Here we investigate the origin of its high electronic conductivity by means of Rietveld analysis, Hall effect measurem...
We synthesized hierarchically branched silver nanostructures (HBAgNSs) with distinctive morphologies and optical properties using non-ionic triblock copolymers under a variety of conditions. The synthetic conditions in t...
