Core‐Shell Nanostructures: Dynamic Control of Orthogonal Upconversion in Migratory Core–Shell Nanostructure toward Information Security (Adv. Funct. Mater. 14/2021)

Separation and Recovery of Platinum by Magnetic Coreshell Nanostructures Modified with N-(2-aminoethyl)-3- aminopropyltrimethoxysilane

In this paper, Fe3 O4 @SiO2 core/shell magnetic nanostructure has been synthesized and modified by N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS). Fe3 O4 @SiO2 was used as a novel adsorbent for separation of hexachloroplatinic acid. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FT-IR technique were used to characterize morphologies and surface texturing of these ads...

Tuning Carbon Content and Morphology of FeCo/Graphitic Carbon CoreShell Nanoparticles using a SaltMatrixAssisted CVD Process

Among various magnetic nanoparticles that have been studied for potential biomedical applications, FeCo nanoparticles are promising candidates because of their high saturation magnetization and high Curie temperature. [ 3–5 ] However, the ease of oxidation, dissolution in acidic environments, and potential toxicity of these materials in their native state restrict their use in biomedical applic...

Pd nanocube decoration onto flexible nanofibrous mats of coreshell polymerZnO nanofibers for visible light photocatalysis

Plasmonic enhancement for electron–hole separation efficiency and visible light photocatalysis was achieved by Pd nanocube decoration on a ZnO nanolayer coated onto electrospun polymeric (polyacrylonitrile (PAN)) nanofibers. Since exciton formation and sustainable electron–hole separation have a vital importance for realizing better solar energy in photovoltaic and photocatalytic devices, we ac...

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
