Metal/dielectrics nano-structure controlled materials.

Nano Characterization of Materials

Material and device characterization is challenged by continuously decreasing device dimensions placing significant demands on characterization instruments and measurement interpretation. The trend in many techniques is clearly toward characterization of smaller dimensions. Among the myriad of characterization techniques in use today, I discuss recent advances in probe microscopy, interferometr...

Metal-organic framework materials as nano photocatalyst

Photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic compound in water, soil and air by semiconductor catalysts such as TiO2 and ZnO have received much attention over the last two decades. However, the low quantum yield, easy agglomeration and difficult post-separation of these inorganic catalysts limit their application for large-scale applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the latest class ...

3D porous nano/micro nickel sulfides with hierarchical structure: controlled synthesis, structure characterization and electrochemical properties.

A series of nickel sulfide nanocrystallines with hierarchical structures was successfully fabricated in situ on a nickel substrate. The nanocrystalline materials with three dimensional (3D) structures were synthesized via self-assembly under moderate conditions, with ethylenediamine and ethylene glycol as the mixed solvents. The structure and morphology of each nickel sulfide could be controlle...
