Conducting and Lithiophilic MXene/Graphene Framework for High-Capacity, Dendrite-Free Lithium-Metal Anodes.
Published in ACS nano
Li-metal anode is widely acknowledged as the ideal anode for high-energy-density batteries, but seriously hindered by the uncontrollable dendrite growth and infinite volume change. Toward this goal, suitable stable scaffolds for dendrite-free Li anodes with large current density (>5 mA cm-2) and high Li loading (>90%) are highly in demand. Herein, ...
Surface-State Assisted Carrier Recombination and Optical Nonlinearities in Bulk to 2D Nonlayered PtS.
...Published in ACS nano
Cooperite, or platinum sulfide (PtS), is a rare mineral that generally exists as microscale, irregularly shaped crystallites. The presence of impurities, in both naturally occurring and synthesized samples, has hindered the study of its optical properties in the past. In this work, we prepare large-scale, uniform PtS films in bulk to two-dimensiona...
Gate-Induced Metal-Insulator Transition in 2D van der Waals Layers of Copper Indium Selenide Based Field-Effect Transist...
Published in ACS nano
The existence of an exquisite phenomenon such as a metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two-dimensional (2D) systems, where completely different electronic functionalities in the same system can emerge simply by regulating parameters such as charge carrier density in them, is noteworthy. Such tunability in material properties can lead to several app...
Quantitative 3D Characterization of Elemental Diffusion Dynamics in Individual [email protected] Nanoparticles with Different Shapes...
Published in ACS nano
Anisotropic bimetallic nanoparticles are promising candidates for plasmonic and catalytic applications. Their catalytic performance and plasmonic properties are closely linked to the distribution of the two metals, which can change during applications in which the particles are exposed to heat. Due to this fact, correlating the thermal stability of...
Controlling Catalyst-Free Formation and Hole Gas Accumulation by Fabricating Si/Ge Core-Shell and Si/Ge/Si Core-Double S...
Published in ACS nano
The catalyst-free formation of silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) core-shell and core-double shell nanowires (NWs) was studied for use as building blocks of high electron (hole) mobility transistors (HEMTs). Vertically aligned p-type Si (p-Si)/intrinsic Ge (i-Ge) core-shell NWs and p-Si/i-Ge/p-Si core-double shell NWs with uniform diameters were forme...
Plug-In Safe-by-Design Nanoinorganic Antibacterials.
Published in ACS nano
Due to antimicrobial resistance and the adverse health effects that follow broad and inappropriate use of antibacterial agents, new classes of antibacterials with broad and strong bactericidal activity and safety for human use are urgently required globally, increasingly so with the onset of climate change. However, R&D in this field is known to be...
Spill-SOS: Self-Pumping Siphon-Capillary Oil Recovery.
...Published in ACS nano
Oil spills remain a worldwide challenge and need emergency "spill-SOS" actions when they occur. Conventional methods suffer from complex processes and high cost. Here, we demonstrate a solar-heating siphon-capillary oil skimmer (S-SOS) that harvests solar energy, gravitational potential energy, and solid surface energy to enable efficient oil spill...
In Situ Observation of Coulomb Fission of Individual Plasmonic Nanoparticles.
Published in ACS nano
Reshaping plasmonic nanoparticles with laser pulses has been extensively researched as a tool for tuning their properties. However, in the absence of direct observations of the processes involved, important mechanistic details have remained elusive. Here, we present an in situ electron microscopy study of one such process that involves Coulomb fiss...
