We demonstrate for the first time that a Pd nanolayer, which is in situ formed on the Ni foam via the galvanic exchange method, greatly improves the energy output, the round-trip efficiency and the cyclability of the aprotic Li-air battery in ambient or simulated air.

This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to scrutinize the influence of type and volume fraction nanoparticle on density nanofluids, i.e. silver (as a hydrophilic case) titanium dioxide hydrophobic water-based nanofluids. Ionic structure TiO2 distinguishes solid-liquid interactions with those in silver-water nanofluid. The thickness nanolayer is estimated from profile formed around in...

Objective(s): Nanomaterials are playing major roles in imaging by delivering large imaging payloads, yielding improved sensitivity. Nanoparticles have enabled significant advances in pre-clinical cancer research as drug delivery vectors. Inorganic nanoparticles such as CdO/GrO nanoparticles have novel optical properties that can be used to optimize the signal-to-background ratio. This paper rep...

A Co nanolayer is used as a local probe to evaluate the vertical inhomogeneous distribution of the electromagnetic (EM) field within a resonant metallic nanodisk. Taking advantage of the direct relation between the magneto-optical activity and the electromagnetic field intensity in the Co layer, it is shown that the nonuniform EM distribution within the nanodisk under plasmon resonant condition...

A fiber-optic acoustic pressure sensor based on a large-area nanolayer silver diaphragm is demonstrated with a high dynamic pressure sensitivity of 160  nm/Pa at 4 kHz frequency. The sensor exhibits a noise limited detectable pressure level of 14.5  μPa/Hz(1/2). Its high dynamic pressure sensitivity and simple fabrication process make it an attractive tool for acoustic sensing and photo-acousti...

We examined the structural reconfiguration after intercalating foreign additives, that is, tetramethoxysilane (TMOS), within already formed supramolecular nanolayers of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). Our experiments indicated that the newly formed interdigitated structure is a thermodynamically more stable configuration. Even after the HDTMS formed initial bilayer-by-bilayer structures, mix...
