A nanocrystal thin-film solar cell operating on an exciton splitting pattern requires a highly efficient separation of electron-hole pairs and transportation of separated charges. A hybrid bulk-heterojunction (HBH) nanostructure providing a large contact area and interpenetrated charge channels is favorable to an inorganic nanocrystal solar cell with high performance. For this freshly appeared ...

A methodology to engineer roughened inorganic nanostructures on zeolites by deposition and growth of metal hydroxides is reported. Pure-silica (PS) MFI and (aluminosilicate) LTA zeolite crystals are treated by solvothermal methods to deposit inorganic hydroxide (e.g., Mg(OH)2) coatings with nanoscale roughened features on the crystal surfaces in a controlled manner. Detailed characterization of...

In the present study, twenty-five male goat kids (20±2.5 kg BW) were used during an 84- day experimental period to determine the effect of source and level of sulfur supplementation on mohair characteristics and performance. Experimental diets were diets containing 0.18% (as control), 0.24% and 0.34% DM inorganic or organic sulfur. The data were analyzed as a 2 × 2 factorial design. Methionine ...

Understanding of phonon mediated thermal transport properties in nanostructured materials is essential for the intelligent design of next-generation microelectronic and thermoelectric devices. Presented here is the study of the thermal transport properties of model organic-inorganic, nanoscopically layered systems for the purpose of elucidating the dependence of bulk thermal conductivity on the...

The circularly polarized reflection of nature is due to their distinct azimuthally twisted or helical character in the nanostructure of the surface films. Although many chiral inorganic powders have been successfully synthesised, the artificial synthesis of chiral inorganic films is rare. Herein, we reported a facile synthetic route for the growth of monolayered chiral film on the quaternary am...

Cancer Therapy In article number 2202694, Dong-Hyun Kim and co-workers develop reactive oxygen species (ROS)–responsive biodegradable metallic nanoparticles that can be used for various biomedical applications. Given the challenges of non-biodegradability potent inorganic nanoparticles, introduction a ROS-responsive cleavable hierarchical supra-nanostructure provides an exciting opportunity ROS...

Metal oxide nanomaterials are widely used in various areas; however, the divergent published toxicology data makes it difficult to determine whether there is a risk associated with exposure to metal oxide nanomaterials. The application of quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) modeling in metal oxide nanomaterials toxicity studies can reduce the need for time-consuming and resource...

this is a comprehensive review of the recent progresses made in the field of zeolite membranes. it describes zeolitic materials and methods of membrane fabrication, followed by a summary of applications for gas separation, pervaporation and separation of liquid mixtures. special attention is called to polymer mixed matrix membranes (mmms) and membranes based on metal organic frame works (mofs)....

Growth of CdS was studied in three different liquid crystalline phases demonstrating the versatility of liquid crystal templating of inorganic solids. Semiconductor growth in a hexagonal liquid crystal yielded a nanostructure with hexagonal symmetry, a lamellar liquid crystal yielded a lamellar nanostructure, and a cubic liquid crystal (consisting of spherical micelles) yielded a hollow, spheri...
