As one of emerging layered nanomaterials, the potential of black phosphorous nanosheets (BP) for fabricating high performance polymer composites was seriously confined by incompatible interface. Herein, interfacial engineering between BP nanosheets and polyurethane (PU) matrix was rationally designed, where employing polymerized ionic liquid as lin...

Given that combined merits of both compositions and novel structures play important roles in energy storage of electrode materials, we herein use [CH3NH3][NixCo1-x(HCOO)3] as self-sacrificed precursors to synthesize structure-controlled hollow nickel cobalt phosphides microcubes. The as-obtained hollow NiCoP-2 displays the highest specific capacity...

Certain gas-filled colloidal particles expand upon heating. If such particles are surface-active and stabilize aqueous foams, do the foams grow with temperature as particles expand? Aqueous foams were stabilized with hollow micro-spherical particles that are partially wetted by water and grow upon heating. Foams were prepared using two different ap...

Electrokinetic effects in porous media play a key role in a number of natural and industrial processes. Applications such as enhanced oil recovery, soil remediation and even drug delivery are affected by the Coulombic forces created by the solid-fluid interfacial interactions. These electrokinetic effects promote the development of non-homogenous s...

To expand clinical applications of indocyanine green (ICG) by overcoming its several drawbacks such as self-aggregation under physiological conditions, poor aqueous photostability, lack of target specificity and rapid renal elimination from the body, the functionalized polymeric nanogels with pH-responsive benzoic-imine cross-linkages employed as c...

The insertion and de-insertion of ions in layered materials are important processes during the energy storage. The investigation on the preparation and electrochemical properties of layered materials attracts a lot of attention. Here, few-layered MoS2 nanosheets are prepared by solvothermally treating ammonium tetrathiomolybdate ((NH4)2MoS4) in the...

Understanding the interactions between nanoparticles (NP) and lipid bilayers (LB), which constitute the foundations of cell membranes, is important for emerging biomedical technologies, as well as for assessing health threats related to nanoparticle commercialization. Applying dissipative particle dynamic simulations, we explore adhesion, intake, a...

Traversing length scales in a volatile suspension alters the various contributions to particle deposition from conjoining and disjoining surface forces and from convective and liquid evaporative effects, which is apparent in the deposit morphology. We investigate the particulate structures to result from the self-assembly of nanoparticles following...

While the phase behavior of aqueous surfactant solutions is usually described in term of the equilibrium microstructures of lyotropic liquid crystals, the transformations which take place when a phase turns into another one, either by changing the concentration or the temperature, are still to be elucidated. A simultaneous determination of concentr...

Controllable fabrication of advanced electrode materials is critical for the development of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, for the first time, we report novel hierarchical porous chromium niobium oxide (Cr0.5Nb24.5O62) microspheres prepared by a facile one-step solvothermal method. The as-prepared Cr0.5Nb24.5O62 microspheres present 3D hiera...
