Porous Mn3O4 hexagonal nanoplates were synthesized through annealing the hydrohausmannite precursor obtained by a one-pot hydrothermal process and by precisely controlling the concentrations of potassium hydroxide and glucose. The effect of potassium hydroxide and glucose on the growth of hexagonal nanoplates was investigated, and a growth mechanism was also proposed. Due to its abundant pores,...

The blue fluorescent lead-free perovskite nanostructures were synthesized at room temperature in the presence of water. These perovskites demonstrated their morphology as square nanoplates, nanorods, and rectangular nanoplates for Cs 2 CuCl 4 , CuBr Cl respectively.

High-order finite-element (FE) analyses with inhomogeneous isotropic material properties have been shown to predict the strains and displacements on the surface of the proximal femur with high accuracy when compared with in vitro experiments. The same FE models with inhomogeneous orthotropic material properties produce results similar to those obtained with isotropic material properties. Herein...

in this work, we report synthesis of silver nanoplates by a simple reduction process of silver nitrate in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and n,n'-dimethyl formamide (dmf). the characterization of the samples were carried out using x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission-electron microscopy (tem) and uv-vis spectroscopy. absorption spectra of the nanoplates in comparison with that of...

A surfactant-free solution methodology, simply using water as a solvent, has been developed for the straightforward synthesis of single-phase orthorhombic SnSe nanoplates in gram quantities. Individual nanoplates are composed of {100} surfaces with {011} edge facets. Hot-pressed nanostructured compacts (Eg ≈0.85 eV) exhibit excellent electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power factors (S(2...

Highly effective separation of colloidal gold nanorods/nanoplates from co-produced isotropic nanoparticles has been achieved by selective precipitation triggered by salt.

A general corrosion strategy was employed for the straightforward fabrication of a variety of metal oxide nanostructures, such as Fe3O4 octahedra, Co3O4 nanoplates, nanoporous TiO2, and Mn3O4 octahedra.

Abstract BiOCl has been used in the photoreduction of CO 2 , but exhibits limited photocatalytic activity. In this study, Bi was situ reduced and deposited on surface (001)-dominated nanosheets by NaBH 4 to form Bi/BiOCl enriched with oxygen vacancies. The as-prepared having low thickness (ca. 10 nm) showed much higher concentration vacancies compared nanoplates high 100 nm). Subsequently, acti...

In this study an orthotropic slab finite element is developed to model orthotropic slabs in fire, using a layered 9-noded iso-parametric slab element and a 3-noded beam element. The element is assembled from a solid slab element which represents the continuous upper portion of the profile, and a special beam element which represents the ribbed lower portion. An equivalent width for the cross-se...
