Scalable Fluid-Spinning Nanowire-based Inorganic Semiconductor Yarns for Electrochromic Actuators

Semiconductor yarns with unique functional characteristics have great potential applications in next-generation electronic devices. However, scalable inorganic semiconductor yarns with excellent mechanical, electrical properties and environmental stability have not been...

Uniform decoration of UiO-66-NH2 nanooctahedra onto TiO2 electrospun nanofibers for enhancing photocatalytic H2 production based on multi-step interfacial charge transfer

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials have been extensively incorporated with inorganic semiconductor photocatalysts to improve the photocatalytic activity through an efficient charge transfer process across their hetero-interface. In this work, octahedral...

Impact of native achiral ligands on the chirality of enantiopure cysteine stabilized CdSe nanocrystals

The chirality of inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) was found to be sensitive to the native achiral ligands used in the synthesis of NCs.
