A new synthesis route to obtain high-purity cupric oxide, CuO, using the hydrothermal reaction of copper sulfide and a NaOH solution in an oxygen atmosphere has been developed. The synthesized products showed nanoplatelet-like ...

In the present work, an attempt was made to experimentally quantify the boiling heat transfer coefficient (BHTC) of graphene oxide-water nano-suspension (NS) inflow boiling heat transfer regime. The NS was prepared at ...

In quantum dot (QD) solar cells, the ex situ sensitization of wide band gap semiconductors (WBSCs) makes it possible to control the shape and the passivation of the nanosized sensitizer. Hence, ex situ techniques can be ...

The production of large-area interfaces and the use of scalable methods to build up designed nanostructures generating advanced functional properties are of high interest for many materials science applications. Nevertheless, ...

Because of their high electrical conductivity CoSi2 nanostructures are potential candidates for preparing ordered nano-arrays to be used as electrode interconnectors and contacts in microelectronic devices. We here describe ...

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was reactively blended with thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) and functionalized with commercial graphene (GRH) nanoplatelets in a twin-screw extruder, and films were produced by cast-film extrusion. ...

The large-scale processing of nanomaterials such as graphene and MoS2 relies on under_x005F_x0002_standing the flow behaviour of nanometrically-thin platelets suspended in liquids. Here we show, by combining non-equilibrium ...
