We report the crystal orientation tuning of LiFePO(4) nanoplates for high rate lithium battery cathode materials. Olivine LiFePO(4) nanoplates can be easily prepared by glycol-based solvothermal process, and the largest crystallographic facet of the LiFePO(4) nanoplates, as well as so-caused electrochemical performances, can be tuned by the mixing procedure of starting materials. LiFePO(4) nano...

In this study, Bi2S3 sensitive layer has been grown on the surface of WO3 nanoplate arrays via an in situ approach. The characterization of samples were carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis). The results show that the Bi2S3 layer is uniformly formed on the sur...

Abstract The bending of sandwich nanoplates made functionally graded (FG) porous core and electromagnetic layers is explored for the first time through a nonlocal strain gradient theory four-unknown shear deformation theory. proposed model can account both impacts. Therefore, stiffness enhancement reduction processes are observed. porosities in nanoplate modeled with even uneven distribution pa...

For the production of nanoplates from layered crystals by liquid-phase shear exfoliation, patent-protected technologies and equipment have been developed. The main difference between proposed known ones is that exfoliation process possible only shearing in continuous operation. Particular interest can be explained following advantages this technology relation to others: chemical reagents are us...

The development of photocatalysts with wide spectral absorption and high charge separation efficiency has always been a pursued objective for photocatalytic solar energy conversion. Herein, we reported wide-range visible-light-active Bi 4 TaO 8 Cl (BTOC) single crystal nanoplate dominating {110} {001} facets enhancing the intrinsic efficiency. Insitu selective photodeposition metals metal oxide...
