AbstractSulfur-doped graphene oxide (SA-GO) prepared by sulfuration and alkylation of graphene oxide is applied as an efficient green anti-wear additive for harsh operation conditions of engines. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis reveals the sulfur content of octadecylamine-modified SA-GO (s

AbstractA sneak path current—a current passing through a neighboring memory cell—is an inherent and inevitable problem in a crossbar array consisting of memristor memory cells. This serious problem can be alleviated by serially connecting the selector device to each memristor cell. Among the various

AbstractThe hierarchical porous SiOC ceramics (HPSCs) have been prepared by the pyrolysis of precursors (the mixture of dimethicone and KH-570) and polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (porous template). The HPSCs possess hierarchical porous structure with a BET surface area of 51.4 m2/g and have a good ant

AbstractGold nanoparticles (GNPs) have always been used as doxorubicin (DOX) transport vectors for tumor diagnosis and therapy; however, the synthesis process of these vectors is to prepare GNPs via chemical reduction method firstly, followed by conjugation with DOX or specific peptides, so these me

Herein, a novel type-II staggered band alignment CuFe2O4/MoS2 mixed-dimensional heterostructures (MHs) that present a distinct enhanced (20–28%

AbstractHead and neck cancer is a heterogeneous disease, originating in the squamous cells lining the larynx (voice box), mouth, pharynx (throat), nasal cavity and salivary glands. Head and neck cancer diagnosis at the later stage is greatly influencing the survival rate of the patient. It makes a m

AbstractIn this work, we fabricate poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-treated Ruddlesden-Popper two-dimensional (quasi-2D) PPA2(CsPbBr3)2PbBr4 perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) and achieved a peak brightness of 10,700 cd m−2 and peak current efficiency of 11.68 cd A−1, threefold and tenfold higher

AbstractNowadays, it is still technologically challenging to prepare highly sensitive sensing films using microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) compatible methods for miniaturized sensors with low power consumption and high yield. Here, sensitive cross-linked SnO2:NiO networks were successfully f

In this paper, an all organic composite film was constructed based on high dielectric polymer and linear dielectric polymer. After the optimized pol

AbstractThe shape of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectral line depends on the ratio of the vibrational and electronic contributions to the third-order susceptibility of the material. The G-mode (1590 cm−1) of graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibits opposite features in the CAR

AbstractThe effect of unintentionally doped hydrogen on the properties of Mg-doped p-GaN samples grown via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is investigated through room temperature photoluminescence (PL) and Hall and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements. It is found tha

To suppress diffusion of phosphorus from an n-type layer to a Si-QD photogeneration layer, niobium-doped titanium oxide (TiOx:Nb) is adopted. Hydrofluo

AbstractGas sensors based on tin dioxide-carbon nanotube composite films were fabricated by a simple inexpensive sol-gel spin-coating method using PEG400 as a solvent. Nanostructured copper was coated on CNTs/SnO2 film, and then copper was transformed into copper oxide at 250 °C. Resistivity of the

AbstractSm-doped CeO2-δ (Ce0.9Sm0.1O2-δ; SDC) thin films were prepared on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The prepared thin films were preferentially grown along the [111] direction, with the spacing of the (111) plane (d111) expanded by 2.6% to compensate for a latt
