Young's modulus of tapered mixed composition (zinc-blende with a high density of twins and wurtzite with a high density of stacking faults) Gallium Phosphide (GaP) nanowires (NWs) was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Experimental measurements were performed by obtaining bending profiles of as-grown inclined GaP NWs deformed by applying a constant force to a series of NW surface locations at various distances from the NW/substrate interface. Numerical modeling of the experimental da...

This study aimed to prepare chitosan-coated silver nanotriangles (AgNTs) and assess their computed tomography (CT) contrast property by in vitro and in vivo experiments. AgNTs with a range of sizes were synthesized by a seed-based growth method, and subsequently characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. The X-ray attenuation capability of all prepared AgNTs was evaluated using micro CT. The CT contrast effec...

During the past decades, nano-structured metal oxide electrode materials have received growing attention due to their low development cost and high theoretical specific capacity, accordingly, quite a lot of metal oxide electrode materials are being used in electrochemical energy storage devices. However, the further development was limited by the relatively low electrical conductivity and the volume expansion during electrochemical reactions. Thus, many approaches have been proposed to obtain hi...

Charge density wave (CDW) is an intriguing physical phenomenon especially found in two-dimensional (2D) layered systems such as transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). The study of CDW is vital for understanding lattice modification, strongly correlated electronic behaviors, and other related physical properties. This paper gives a review of the recent studies on CDW emerging in 2D TMDs. First, a brief introduction and the main mechanisms of CDW are given. Second, the interplay between CDW patt...
Mass production of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has attracted much attention to replace platinum-based catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we demonstrate a general strategy for the scalable production of the intrinsic tungsten dichalcogenide (WX2 (X=S, Se, Te)) quantum sheets (QSs) by an all-physical top-down method. The method combines silica-assisted ball-milling and sonication-assisted solvent exfoliation and thus enables production of WS2 QSs, WSe2 QSs, an...

Pineapple, as a world-famous tropical fruit, is also prone to produce by-products rich in cellulose. In this study, different sections of pineapple, including pineapple core (PC), pineapple pulp (PPu), pineapple leaf (PL) and pineapple peel (PPe) were used for production of pineapple cellulose nanocrystals (PCNCs) by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The crystallinity of PCNCs from PC, PPu, PL and PPe were 57.81%, 55.68%, 59.19% and 53.58%, respectively, and the thermal stability of PCNCs in order was P...
Molecular fingerprints revealed by Raman techniques show great potential for biomedical applications, like disease diagnostic through Raman detection of tumor markers and other molecules in the cell membrane. However, SERS substrates used in membrane molecule studies produce enhanced Raman spectra of high variability and challenging band assignments that limit their application. In this work, these drawbacks are addressed to detect membrane-associated hemoglobin (Hbm) in human erythrocytes throu...

In order to adapt to the quick and large amount of necessity in data flow for 5G cloud generation, it is necessary to develop a technology of warm storage device in market which takes a great balance between the reading/writing performance and the price per storage capacity. The technologies of warm storage devices are assumed to adopt phase change memory (PCM), resistive random access memory (ReRAM) or magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) which have the highest possibilities to 5G struc...
Electrons can degrade pentachlorphenate sodium (PCPNa) directly or activate molecular oxygen to produce ·O2- and ·OH for its degradation. However, less work has been performed to control such two kinds of reaction pathway by modifying BiOCl. Herein, we firstly regulated the reaction pathway between electrons and PCPNa by adjusting the amount of surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) and surface adsorbed hydroxyl groups in I- doped BiOCl exposed with different facets. OVs on (001) facets-exposed I- doped...
