Ordered ZnO nanosheet arrays were grown on weaved titanium wires by a low-temperature hydrothermal method. CdS nanoparticles were deposited onto the ZnO nanosheet arrays using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method to make a photoanode. Nanoparticle-sensitized solar cells were assembled using these CdS/ZnO nanostructured photoanodes, and their photovoltaic performance was stu...

MoS2 nanosheet@TiO2 nanotube hybrid nanostructures were successfully prepared by a facile two-step method: prefabrication of porous TiO2 nanotubes based on a sol-gel method template against polymeric nanotubes, and then assembly of MoS2 nanoclusters that consist of ultrathin nanosheets through a solvothermal process. These hybrid nanostructures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy...

Near-infrared (NIR) light triggered photothermally enhanced cellular internalization strategy shows great potential to improve antitumor effect to fight against cancer. In this work, a black phosphorus (BP) nanosheet-based nanomedicine, which is composed of BP nanosheet, human serum albumin (HSA) and paclitaxel (PTX), was developed for mild hyperthermia-enhanced intracellular drug delivery and ...

Tremendous impacts are usually made by the synthesis method and consolidation technique on microstructure interface of graphene/Al composites. In present work, an in situ gel-precursor decomposition route is proposed for one-step graphene nanosheet (GNS) decorated with Cu nanoparticles form hybrid layers encapsulating Al grains (designated as GNS–Cu/Al). Consolidation performed spark plasma sin...

Layered oxides intercalated with Eu ions were prepared by self-assembly deposition method based on the electrostatic interaction between negative charged oxide nanosheets and Eu ions. The layered oxides were composed of two-dimensional host nanosheet layer with guest Eu ions and gave Eu emission based on an energy transfer from bandgap excitation of the host oxide nanosheets to the Eu ions. The...
