The nonlinear optical properties of single layer graphene are studied via Z-scan. The measurements are carried out at 1045 nm with a 360 femtosecond highly stable Yb doped mode-locked fiber laser. Under laser illumination single-layer graphene exhibits both a transmittance increase due to saturable absorption and a nonlinear phase-shift due to nonl...

Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites have been spotlighted as photodetectors due to their tunable bandgap and high photoluminescence quantum efficiency. The performance of photodetectors is affected by grain boundaries that can trap charge carriers and thereby degrade charge transport in perovskites. To fabricate high-performance phot...
The antifungal activity of emulsion-based edible coatings incorporating cinnamaldehyde against Glomerella cingulata was investigated by determining the effect of virgin coconut oil and oleic acid on the growth rate and its effect on the antifungal effectiveness of cinnamaldehyde using the modified Gompertz model and the minimum inhibitory concentra...
The morphology evolution of supported palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) during plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition using palladium hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Pd(hfac)(2)) as precursor was investigated using in situ and ex situ X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), as well as ex situ scanning electr...
Given the complex calcified nature of the fibrous bone tissue, a combinatorial approach merging specific topographical/biochemical cues was adopted to design bone tissue-engineered scaffolds. Coral having a Ca-enriched structure was added to electrospun chitosan (CS)/polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers that were subjected to plasma surface modifica...
Recovery of rare-earth elements (REEs) from spent NdFeB magnets is receiving great attention because of high amount of neodymium and potential risk of environmental pollution. In this study, a novel environment-friendly hydrometallurgical route is proposed for efficient recovery of REEs during electrochemical leaching with sulfuric and oxalic acids...

Titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXene has great potential for use in aerospace and flexible electronics due to its excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. However, the assembly of MXene nanosheets into macroscopic high-performance nano-composites is challenging, limiting MXene's practical applications. Here we describe our work fabr...
