The ability to convert photons of different wavelengths directly into mechanical motion is of significant interest in many energy conversion and reconfigurable technologies. Here, using few layer 2H-MoS2 nanosheets, layer by layer process of nanocomposite fabrication, and strain engineering, we demonstrate a reversible and chromatic mechanical response in MoS2-nanocomposites between 405 nm to 8...

rGO-CdS-H2W12 nanocomposite film was successfully fabricated by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The composite film was characterized by techniques such as UV-Vis spectra, XPS, and AFM. The composite film showed high photoelectronic response under the illumination of sunlight. Both current-voltage curves and photocurrent transient measurements demonstrated that the photocurrent response o...

Thin film metal oxide coatings have been used commercially as electromagnetic filters from the UV to infrared regions for over half a century. Deposition onto a substrate has typically been accomplished using vapor deposition techniques and more recently sol–gel methods. These coatings provide very good optical and mechanical performance when applied to substrates with similar thermal and mecha...

1. CCTS and CCTS:CQD nanocomposites were successfully deposited. 2. Physical characteristics of synthesized thin films examined. 3. nanocomposite was used as a p-type layer in an inorganic thin-film solar cell. 4. The photoconversion efficiencies obtained for nanocomposite.

This research work intended to study some important operational parameters on the photocatalytic activity of a new type of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/IL-TiO2 nanocomposite, prepared by microemulsion method. For the first step, it is confirmed that the prepared nanocomposite has a significant effect on photodecomposition of the Trypan Blue (TB), as an anionic hydrophilic azo...

In this report, we succeed in constructing a hybrid three-dimensional (3D) nanocomposite film by alternatively assembling the graphene nanosheets modified by ionic liquid (IL) and Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs). In this strategy, an imidazolium salt-based ionic liquid (IS-IL)-functionalized graphene was synthesized by covalently binding 1-(3-aminopropyl)-3-methylimidazolium bromide onto graphene nan...

In this work, visible electroluminescence (EL) from aluminum nitride (AlN) thin film containing aluminum nanocrystals (nc-Al) prepared by a radio frequency sputtering technique is reported. The yellow EL shows a spectrum peaked at 565 nm. A linear relationship between the EL and the current transport in the nc-Al/AlN nanocomposite thin film is observed, and both the current transport and the EL...

Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhi) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) have been responsible for an increasing number of outbreaks linked to fresh produce, such as baby spinach leaves, in the last two decades. More recently, antimicrobial biodegradable packaging systems have been attracting much attention in the food packaging industry as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastic packaging. T...
