in this article, surface stress and nonlocal effects on the biaxial and uniaxial buckling of rectangular silver nanoplates embedded in elastic media are investigated using finite difference method (fdm). the uniform temperature change is utilized to study thermal effect. the surface energy effects are taken into account using the gurtin-murdoch’s theory. using the principle of virtual work, the...

Solar Water Splitting Electrically connected and optically paralleled photoelectrochemical-photovoltaic tandem architecture is placed on the coast in sunlight. A photovoltaic cell produces electricity provides it to a photocathode. silicon photocathode, which consists of TiO2 nanorods passivation layer MoS2 nanoplates, submerged under sea water generates hydrogen gas. As can be seen from enlarg...

In this work, we report synthesis of silver nanoplates by a simple reduction process of silver nitrate in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and N,N'-dimethyl formamide (DMF). The Characterization of the samples were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission-electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Absorption spectra of the nanoplates in comparison with that of the ...

Highly surface-roughened Ag nanoplate arrays are fabricated using a simple electrodeposition and in situ electrocorrosion method with inorganic borate ions as capping agent. The electrocorrosion process is induced by a change in the local pH value during the electrochemical growth, which is used to intentionally carve the electrodeposited structures. The three dimensionally arranged Ag nanoplat...

Membranes with atomic level pores or constrictions are valuable for separation and catalysis. We report a graphene-based membrane with an interlayer spacing of 3.7 angstrom (Å). When graphene oxide nanoplates are functionalized and then reduced, the laminated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoplates or functionalized rGO membrane is little affected by an intercalated fluid, and the interlayer sp...

We report the strong experimental evidence of the existence of topological surface states with large electric field tunability and mobility in β-Ag2Te. Pronounced 2D Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations have been observed in β-Ag2Te nanoplates. A Berry phase is determined to be near π using the Landau level fan diagram for a relatively wide nanoplate while the largest electric field ambipolar effect ...

PbTiO3 nanoplates were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method, and ammonia solution was chosen as pH-adjusting agent. The effect of concentration in the second-step precursors, Pb-Ti feedstock concentration, reaction temperature, time on crystallization morphologies nanocrystals investigated. typical single-crystal with stair-like edge formed, nominal first-step precursors 8.8 mol/L, 4.4...

Thermoelectrics are an important class of materials with great potential in alternative energy applications. In this study, two-dimensional (2D) nanoplates the layered chalcogenides, Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te3, synthesized composites two investigated for their thermoelectric properties. The materials, were as hexagonal, 2D via a colloidal polyol route. as-synthesized Bi2Te3 vary drastically from one ano...
