11 12 Abstract Nanorods and nanoplates of Y2O3:Eu 3+ powders 13 were synthesized through the thermal decomposition of the 14 Y(OH)3 precursors using a microwave-hydrothermal meth15 od in a very short reaction time. These powders were 16 analyzed by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning 17 electron microscopy, Fourrier transform Raman, as well as 18 photoluminescence measurements. Based on ...

Exploitation of high-performance anode materials is essential but challenging to the development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Among all proposed anode materials for SIBs, sulfides have been proved promising candidates due to their unique chemical and physical properties. In this work, a facile solvothermal method to in situ decorate cobalt sulfide (CoS) nanoplates on reduced graphene oxide (...

Vibrational spectroscopy usually provides structural information averaged over many molecules. We report a larger peak position variation and reproducibly smaller FWHM of TERS spectra compared to SERS spectra indicating that the number of molecules excited in a TERS experiment is extremely low. Thus, orientational averaging effects are suppressed and micro ensembles are investigated. This is sh...

In this work, pure and different metal ions doped ZnO thin films were obtained by a facile electrochemical deposition process. Different morphologies of ZnO, such as nanoplates, nanoparticles, as well as dense film can be obtained by doping Cu, In, and Al, respectively. Besides, the electrical properties of ZnO were also dependent on the doping ions. In this work, only pure ZnO shows resistive ...

Micrometer scaled MoS2 hierarchical hollow cubic cages assembled by bilayers can be synthesized via a one-step self-assembly coupled with intermediate crystal templating process without any surfactant, in which the intermediate K2NaMoO3F3 crystal formed in-situ and then served as the self-sacrificed template based on the Kirkendall Effect; The MoS2 hierarchical hollow cubic cages were employed ...

Aggregation and self-assembly are influenced by molecular interactions. With precise control of molecular interactions, in this study, a wide range of nanostructures ranging from zero-dimensional nanospheres to hierarchical nanoplates and spindles have been successfully synthesized at ambient temperature in aqueous solution. The nanostructures reported here are formed by aggregation of spherica...

Sodium-Ion Batteries High-voltage P2-type cathodes suffer from sluggish reaction kinetics. In article number 2100123 by Peiyu Hou, Haitao Huang, and co-workers, hierarchically assembled nanoplates with highly exposed {010} facets are designed to achieve high power density sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract In this work, the bending behavior of nanoplates subjected to both sinusoidal and uniform loads in hygrothermal environment is investigated. The present plate theory based on classical laminated thin with strain gradient effect take into account nonlocality nanostructures. equilibrium equations have been carried out by using principle virtual works a system partial differential sixth o...
