Here, five different capping agents’ polyethylene glycol (PEG), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and oleylamine (OAm) are used to form copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs), along with their electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) properties. The produced Cu-NPs’ mono-dispersity interactions PEG, CTAB, PVA, PVP, OAm were examined. mean...

Metal selenide semiconductors in photocatalysis are limited, owing to their low activity and poor stability. Herein, a facile one‐pot solution approach is developed prepare particulate Zn x Cd 1− Se solid solutions with tunable energy band structures. X‐ray diffractometer (XRD) patterns demonstrate that the crystal structure of samples not changed. The analysis UV–vis photoluminescence spectra ...

Pure-phase Cu2−xS (x = 1, 0.2) nanoparticles have been synthesized by the thermal decomposition of copper(II) dithiocarbamate as a single-source precursor in oleylamine capping agent. The compositions nanocrystals varied from CuS (covellite) through mixture phases (CuS and Cu7.2S4) to Cu9S5 (digenite) simply varying temperature synthesis. crystallinity morphology copper sulfides were studied us...

NaYF4:Yb(3+)/Er(3+) nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition of lanthanide trifluoroacetates using oleylamine (OM) as both solvent and surface binding ligand. The effect of reaction temperature and time on the properties of the particles was investigated. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction (ED), energy dispersive s...

Ni nanocrystal have been synthesized by the thermal decomposition of the Ni (acac)2 [Nickel (acetylacetonate)2], oleylamine complex as a precursor . Trioctylphosphine [CH3(CH2)7]3P was used as both solvent and surfactant for control the size of the nanoparticles. Characterization of the nanoparticles has been done by the XRD and TEM...

Manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles of identical size (9 nm) and with different inversion degrees were synthesized under solvothermal conditions as a candidate theranostic system. In this facile approach, a long-chain amine, oleylamine, was utilized as a reducing and surface-functionalizing agent. The synthesized nanoparticles were shown to have a cubic-spinel structure as characterized b...

China’s rapid industrial development requires more energy consumption based on non-renewable resources. The caused by unnecessary friction accounts for about 4.5% of the GDP in China. Although grease effectively lubricates machines, lubrication failure may occur under severe conditions. Nanomaterials exhibit intriguing tribological performances and have received much attention regarding lubrica...

Abstract Dimensionality engineering involving the low‐dimensional and 3D perovskites has been demonstrated as an efficient promising strategy to modulate interfacial energy loss well instability in perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
