A bifunctional hybrid nanomaterial, which can show magnetic and luminescent properties, was obtained. A magnetic phase was synthesized as a core/shell type composite. Nanocrystalline magnetite, Fe(3)O(4) was used as the core and was encapsulated in a silica shell. The luminescent phase was GdPO(4) doped with Eu(3+) ions, as the emitter. The investigated materials were synthesized using a coprec...

A novel two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, namely sulfonated graphenal polymer (SGP), is used to tune the hydrothermal growth of Co3O4 nanoparticles. SGP provides abundant nucleation sites to grow Co3O4 nanoparticles and effectively reduces the particle size and dimension. As a result, with considering the improved size uniformity of Co3O4 and the tight wrapping of SGP around Co3O4 as well, the...

Preparation of 4-aminiquinaldine grafted on silica-coated nano-Fe3O4 particles (Fe3O4@SiO2-AQ) as a novel retrievable heterogeneous nanocatalyst is described. This novel hybrid nanomaterial was applicated for the green synthesis of substituted 2-amino-4H-chromenes via the one-pot condensation reaction of an aldehyde, malononitrile ...

As research efforts into the two-dimensional (2D) materials continue to mature, finding applications in which they can be productively used has become of greater interest. Applications energy sector are particular importance, with pressing need decarbonize our economy and live more sustainably. For a material optimal for an application we typically tailor their specific properties characteristi...

Molecular modeling and simulation has been recognized as an effective tool for gaining a comprehensive and insightful understanding of nanomaterial structure-property relationships, which are critical for nanomaterial development. Note that nanomaterial development is a very complicated task involving the design and management of massive runs of simulations and numerous types of subtasks in mul...
