The effects of hollow CeO2 nanospheres on the flame-retardance and smoke-suppression properties of room-temperature-vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber were studied. It was observed that the flame retardance of RTV silicone rubber composites was improved by hollow CeO2 nanospheres. Surprisingly, the nanospheres also enhanced the smoke-suppression char...

Highly branched Pt-Ni nanoalloys with varied chemical compositions were prepared by one-pot solvothermal synthesis. The morphology, structure, composition and catalytic properties of Pt-Ni nanoalloys were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electrochemical cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The d...
Based on a rectangular phosphorene quantum dot (PQD) we perform a systematical investigation into the mechanism of the optical absorption of the PQD. It is found that it is the symmetries of the related initial and final states of the PQD, together with the symmetry of the PQD structure, that determines whether the optical absorption can occur, as ...

In this work a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) was covalently connected with two different chromophores, namely porphyrin and boron-dipyrromethene. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example in the literature where a PNA unit is covalently linked to such chromophores. The self-assembly properties of the hybrids were examined through electro...

Microgel loading with inorganic nanoparticle (NP) composites attracts interest for various biomedical applications. However, the encapsulation of NPs into microgels usually is a diffusion process driven by osmotic pressure, which depends highly on the concentration of NPs and causes low loading efficiency. In this work, we demonstrate preparation o...
