For this work, a β-phase Cu2−xSe nanowire and nanoplate, and a Na-doped Cu2−xSe nanoplate were successfully synthesized using solution syntheses. The morphologies of the Cu2−xSe nanowire and nanoplate could be easily controlled by changing the synthetic condition. The Na-doped Cu2−xSe nanoplate was prepared by a simple treatment of the Cu2−xSe nanoplate with a sodium hydroxide-ethylene glycol s...

Shape-persistent replica synthesis of Au/Ag bimetallic nanoplates is invented. Using a tailored silica cage as a template for the synthesis, a successful shape-replication of Au/Ag bimetallic nanoplate is achieved at the cage core having geometry of initial Ag nanoplate. This work can open up the simple fabrication of multicomponent metallic particles, with nanogeometry being defined early at t...

We successfully synthesized SrNb2O6 with nanoplate morphology by a facile hydrothermal method. The SrNb2O6 nanoplate without any promoters or co-catalysts exhibited promising photocatalytic performance for the preferential reduction of CO2 with H2O vapour to CO and CH4 due to its high electron-hole separation and high CO2 chemisorption abilities.

A new approach is proposed to synthesize a mesoporous single crystal Ga(2)O(3) nanoplate by heating a single crystal nanoplate of GaOOH, which involves an ion exchange between KGaO(2) and CH(3)COOH at room temperature for the formation of GaOOH and pseudomorphic and topotactic phase transformation from GaOOH to Ga(2)O(3).

Chemical sensors based on semiconducting metal oxide nanocrystals are of academic and practical significance in industrial processing and environment-related applications. Novel alcohol response sensors using two-dimensional WO(3) nanoplates as active elements have been investigated in this paper. Single-crystalline WO(3) nanoplates were synthesized through a topochemical approach on the basis ...

We report the strong experimental evidence of the existence of topological surface states with large electric field tunability and mobility in β-Ag2Te. Pronounced 2D Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations have been observed in β-Ag2Te nanoplates. A Berry phase is determined to be near π using the Landau level fan diagram for a relatively wide nanoplate while the largest electric field ambipolar effect ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) origami is a method for the bottom-up self-assembly of complex nanostructures for applications, such as biosensing, drug delivery, nanopore technologies, and nanomechanical devices. Effective design of such nanostructures requires a good understanding of their mechanical behavior. While a number of studies have focused on the mechanical properties of DNA origami stru...

In this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (FG) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a Visco-Pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. The effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of FG circular and annular nanoplate. To obtain the vibration frequencies of the FG circular and annular nanopla...
