The original single-molecule rectifier proposed by Aviram and Ratner is based on a donor-σ-acceptor structure, in which σ functions as the insulator to disconnect the π electronic systems of the two parts. However, there have been no reports on experimentally demonstrated highly efficient single-molecule rectifiers based on this mechanism. In this ...

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are an ideal substitute for traditionally inactivated or attenuated viruses in vaccine production. However, given the properties of their native proteins, the thermal stability of VLPs is poor. In this study, calcium mineralization was used to fabricate foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) VLPs as immunogenic core-shell p...

Implementing the hierarchical structures of non-noble-metal-based electrocatalysts and modulating their composition can help accelerate surface reactions and fulfill the promise of renewable energy devices via water splitting. Herein, molybdenum-based compounds are constructed on activated nickel foam (act-NF) by a one-step hydrothermal growth. The...

As an alternative to silicon-based solar cells, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention and achieved a comparable power conversion efficiency (PCE) to silicon-based ones, although the perovskite materials can absorb only visible light. Hence, the challenge remains to enhance the PCE utilizing near infrar...

The exploration of green and clean energy could solve the increasingly serious problems of environmental pollution and energy crisis on the Earth. Moist air is ubiquitous around the world, which particulalrly has huge chemical potential energy because of the gaseous state of the water molecules. Recently, our group demonstrated direct electricity g...

Many molecules quench their fluorescence upon adsorption on surfaces. Herein we show that the interaction of thiabendazole, a widespread used fungicide of the benzimidazole family, with nanosheets of transition metal dichalcogenides, particularly of WS2, leads to a significant increase, more than a factor of 5, of the fluorescence yield. This surpr...

Threshold switches (TSs) are an effective approach for resolving the sneak path problem within a memristor array. VO2 is a promising material for fabricating high-performance TSs. Here we report a single crystal VO2-based TS device with high switching performance. The single crystal monoclinic VO2 channel is obtained by electroforming in a composit...

Solution-processable two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with chemically tunable thickness and associated tunable band gaps are highly promising materials for ultrathin optoelectronics. Here, the properties of free charge carriers and excitons in 2D PbS nanosheets of different thickness are investigated by means of optical pump-terahertz probe spec...

An immunomagnetic "nano-net" was designed and synthesized for specifically capturing rare cells of interest from mixtures. The nano-net, [email protected], consists of conjugated antibody molecules on a lipid coated magnetic nanoparticle-graphene oxide sheet complex. The magnetism, chemical composition, and the morphology of the construct and its prec...
