Palladium nanoparticles were supported on a fluorous organic-inorganic hybrid material prepared by the sol-gel process without TEOS. Recycling studies on the Heck coupling reaction have shown that the catalyst can be readily recovered and reused.

New heterosegment-junctioned hybrid nanotubes of polythiophene and heterometallic nanoparticles (Pd, Au NPs) have been synthesized by sequential electropolymerization of terthiophene-modified Pd and Au NPs in a nanoporous template.

A superhydrophobic catalyst was prepared by immobilizing Pt nanoparticles on superhydrophobic organic-inorganic hybrid silicas, which showed high activity and selectivity in the oxidation of aliphatic alcohols to carboxylic acids.

double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with al2o3-water is numerically investigated. two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. the equations are solved using simpler algorithm. the results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the richardson number...

Hybrid supramolecular hydrogels are prepared by non-enzymatic dephosphorylation of N-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl tyrosine-(O)-phosphate (FMOC-Tyr-P) using catalytic cerium oxide nanoparticles. The organic-inorganic hydrogels exhibit enhanced viscoelastic properties compared with analogous materials prepared using alkaline phosphatase.

Hybrid photocatalysts were prepared by depositing a macrocyclic cobalt complex on TiO2 surfaces. Upon UV light irradiation, photoexcited electrons in TiO2 nanoparticles were transferred to the surface cobalt catalyst for CO2 reduction.

Responsive catalytic hybrid nanogels with Au nanoparticle cores and a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) based gel shell are prepared through a novel one-pot approach. The embedded Au nanoparticles demonstrate both a pH-modulated catalytic activity and anti-aggregation properties upon recycling.

Small and highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles supported on graphene nanosheets were fabricated via a strategy of etching a copper template with Pd(2+). The obtained hybrid exhibited significant catalytic activity for formic acid oxidation.

A facile approach has been developed to prepare ultra-small hybrid silica spheres with a diameter of ∼10 nm, which show highly enhanced penetration ability in 3D glioma spheroids compared to conventional mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

Hybrid hollow nanospheres of chitosan-silica templated by chitosan-poly(acrylic acid) nanoparticles are fabricated in a complete aqueous system, which provide a pH-sensitive switch in physiological and sub-cell environments for the release of loaded drug.
