Diameter dependent electron donor behavior of (6,5)- and (7,6)-enriched semiconducting SWCNT is proved by constructing supramolecular nanohybrids with pyrene functionalized electron acceptor, fullerene, and the subsequent photocatalytic/ photoelectrochemical processes.

Self-assembled nanohybrids of a 1,10-phenanthroline derivative and Au nanoparticles exhibit different optoelectronic properties, as a consequence of the different arrangements of the nanoparticles on the surface of the different-sized phenanthroline scaffolds.

Monodispersed polypyrrole (PPy) nanospheres were physically incorporated as guest species into stacked graphene layers without significant property degradation, thereby facilitating the formation of unique three-dimensional hybrid nanoarchitecture. The electrochemical properties of the graphene/particulate PPy (GPPy) nanohybrids were dependent on the sizes and contents of the PPy nanospheres. T...

The synthesis of fuel-range molecules by condensation of biomass-derived furfural and acetone has been studied in a biphasic emulsion system. Nanohybrids composed of basic oxide nanoparticles fused to carbon nanotubes have been used to simultaneously stabilize water/oil emulsions and catalyze the condensation reaction. Under the same conditions, higher conversions and higher fractions of fuel-r...

Fabricating a cost effective hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst without using precious metal elements is in crucial demand for environmentally-benign energy production. In this work, the thin and edge-rich molybdenum disulfide nanosheets, with carbon doped in the interlayers and decorated on graphene, were developed by a facile solvothermal process. The as-synthesized nanohybrids exhibited hi...

A facile one-step solution reaction route for growth of novel MoS2 nanorose cross-linked by 3D rGO network, in which the MoS2 nanorose is constructed by single-layered or few-layered MoS2 nanosheets, is presented. Due to the 3D assembled hierarchical architecture of the ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets and the interconnection of 3D rGO network, as well as the synergetic effects of MoS2 and rGO, the as...

NIR laser scanning microscopy enables the determination of emission lifetime upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and UCNP nanohybrids (UCNHs), evaluation homogeneity in terms colocalization UCNHs.

This work describes a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), namely, anatase TiO2 nanoparticle-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs@TiO2). The electrochemical properties of CNTs@TiO2 were thoroughly investigated using various electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic cycling, and rate experiments. It was revea...

Organic thermoelectric (TE) materials are very attractive due to easy processing, material abundance, and environmentally-benign characteristics, but their potential is significantly restricted by the inferior thermoelectric properties. In this work, noncovalently functionalized graphene with fullerene by π-π stacking in a liquid-liquid interface was integrated into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythioph...

We designed monodisperse and perfectly shaped core/shell AuNP@Mo4Zol2Mn nanohybrids consisting of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized by an antitumoral polyoxometalate (POM) incorporating the...
