Abstract This study investigates the size-dependent wave propagation behaviors under thermoelectric loads of porous functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) nanoplates deposited in a viscoelastic foundation. It is assumed that (i) material parameters obey power-law variation thickness and (ii) uniform porosity exists nanoplates. The combined effects viscoelasticity shear deformation are consider...

The internal electric field induced by a piezoelectric effect is promising method to suppress rapid electron–hole recombination of photocatalysis for environmental remediation. Herein, we fully utilized both and photocatalytic properties Bi2WO6 nanoplates the removal organic pollutants. degradation rate constant piezo-photocatalysis dramatically boosted 0.077 min–1 nanoplates, which 4.2-fold al...

A SeO2 ethanol solution as the facile precursor has been used for the preparation of quaternary Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) nanoplates. Monodispersed single-phase CZTSe nanoplates have been prepared successfully by a facile one-pot thermal chemical method. The as-prepared CZTSe nanoplates show uniform morphology with a bandgap of ~ 1.4 eV. As a proof of concept, the CZTSe nanoplates have been used as a ...

Two-dimensional thin Bi₂WO₆ nanoplates have been fabricated using a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted hydrothermal method. We investigated the proposed formation mechanism based on the crystalline structures of the thin Bi₂WO₆ nanoplates. The high adsorption ability and excellent visible-light driven photocatalytic activities of the Bi₂WO₆ nanoplates were illustrated, in view of ex...

CuGaS2 (CGS) nanoplates were successfully synthesized by one-pot thermolysis of a mixture solution of CuCl, GaCl3, and 1-dodecanethiol in noncoordinating solvent 1-octadecene. Their morphology, crystalline phase, and composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X-ray...

In this work, we studied the structure of synthesized triangular silver nanoplates in solution and the growth of the nanoplates on a silicon surface using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as a coupling agent. The triangular-shaped colloidal silver nanoplates were simply synthesized by a direct chemical reduction approach. We studied the three characteristic peaks of the unique optical abso...

Well-crystallized BiOCl nanoplates with exposed {001} facets were synthesized by a facile electrochemical anodic oxidation method. The thickness of the nanoplates decreases with increasing citric acid content in the electrolyte. The optical absorption edge of the BiOCl nanoplates shifts to a longer wavelength with citric acid. The BiOCl nanoplates obtained with citric acid show a high photocata...

In the present work, thermo-electro vibration of the piezoelectric nanoplates resting on the elastic foundations using nonlocal elasticity theory are considered. In-plane and transverse displacements of the nanoplate have been approximated by six different modified shear deformation plate theories considering transverse shear deformation effects and rotary inertia. Moreover, two new distributio...
