High efficient and sustainable utilization of water-based lubricant is essential for saving energy. In this paper, a kind of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplatelets is synthesized and well dispersed in water due to the surface modification with oleylamine. The excellent tribological properties of the oleylamine-modified Ni-Al LDH (NiAl-LDH/OAm) nanoplatelets as water-based lubricant additi...

lipid, oleylamine, were found to blister away from the underlying cytoplasmic organelles (Bruckdorfer et al., 1974). The plasma membranes of these cells usually fused in these regions. This is interesting in relation to the fact that dimethyl sulphoxide has been reported to cause the formation of large membrane blisters devoid of intramembranous particles in lymphocytes (Mclntryre et al., 1974)...

Understanding and controlling the surface chemistry of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are essential steps toward improving their opto-electronic properties tailoring material for specific applications. For oleylamine–chloride co-passivated InP QDs synthesized using di-ethylaminophosphine (DEAP), knowledge possible exchange reactions effect on QD is still very limited. In this work, we address iss...

We report a rapid solution-phase strategy to synthesize alloyed PtNi nanoparticles which demonstrate outstanding functionality for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This one-pot coreduction colloidal synthesis results in monodisperse population of single-crystal rhombic dodecahedral morphology with Pt-enriched edges and compositions close Pt1Ni2. use nanoscale 3D compositional analysis revea...

We report the large-scale synthesis of uniform-sized hexagonal pyramid-shaped ZnO nanocrystals by the thermolysis of Zn-oleate complex, which was prepared from the reaction of inexpensive and environmentally friendly reagents such as zinc chloride and sodium oleate. Under optimized reaction conditions, we were able to synthesize as much as 2.83 g using 300 mL of oleylamine and 90 mL (284 mmol) ...

SnS nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized from bis(diethyldithiocarbamato) tin(II) in oleylamine at elevated temperature. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigation and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the synthesized SnS particles are monocrystalline with an orthorhombic structure. The shape and size tunability of SnS NCs can be achieved by controlling the...
