Metal oxide/activated carbon composites for the reactive adsorption and catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde and toluene ...
The synergistic effect of 'reactive adsorption and catalytic oxidation (RACO)' has been investigated to develop an efficient method to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs: formaldehyde (FA) + toluene) using an amorphous-manganese dioxide-activated carbon (Am-MnO2-AC) composite. The RACO of FA and toluene onto Am-MnO2-AC was examined individuall...
Ultrafast Cation Exchange in Supra-Quantum Dots through Nanoporous Internal Structure
Cation exchange (CE) can convert the chemical composition of nanocrystals while it preserves their size, shape, and crystal phase. Here, we report a CE reaction in a porous nanostructure of supra-quantum dots (SQDs), which are threedimensional stepwise self-assembly of quantum dots (QDs) with several tens of nm size. It shows ultrafast and complete...
Designing plasmonically integrated nanoreactors for efficient catalysis
Plasmonically coupled nanoreactors capable of harnessing light energy and efficiently transforming it to perform chemical reactions are in significant demand in the field of catalysis. The development of unique solution-phase synthesis techniques for engineering intricate nanoarchitectures by introducing multiple functionalities can dramatically im...
Isolating Single Sn Atoms in CuO Mesocrystal to Form Ordered Atomic Interfaces: An Effective Strategy for Designing High...
...
Tuning the electronic structures of mesocrystals at the atomic level is an effective approach to obtaining unprecedented properties. Here, a lattice-confined strategy to obtain isolated single-site Sn atoms in CuO mesocrystals to improve catalytic performance is reported. The Sn/CuO mesocrystal composite (Sn/CuO MC) has ordered Sn-O-Cu atomic inter...

In situ facile green synthesis of Ag-ZnO nanocomposites using Tetradenia riperia leaf extract and its antimicrobial effi...
In this work, Ag-ZnO nanocomposites were prepared by a green synthesis route using aqueous leaf extract of Tetradenia riperia and investigated for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. To optimize the synthesis of the Ag-ZnO, the effects of precursor concentrations, pH, and temperatures were studied. The Ag-ZnO ...
Janus-Nanojet as an efficient asymmetric photothermal source
The combination of materials with radically different physical properties in the same nanostructure gives rise to the so-called Janus effects, allowing phenomena of a contrasting nature to occur in the same architecture. Interesting advantages can be taken from a thermal Janus effect for photoinduced hyperthermia cancer therapies. Such therapies ha...
Suppressing oxygen vacancies on the surface of Li-rich material as a high-energy cathode via high oxygen affinity Ca(0.9...
...
Because of high energy density and work voltage, the Li-rich materials are considered to be one of the most promising next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the commercial applications are limited by the capacity loss, poor rate capability, and voltage decay during cycling. Herein, functionalizing the surface of Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 b...
