Abstract: Bigels are hybrid systems combining hydrogels and oleogels, offering advantages as stable carriers for bioactives of varying polarities. This dual-phase structure effectively hosts hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds, providing stability and preventing degradation. Carotenoids, powerful antioxidants, […]
Abstract: The advent of femtosecond pulsed lasers has revolutionized materials science by enabling intense, ultrashort light pulses, facilitating nonlinear optical phenomena and structural modifications in materials. Ag3VO4, with its narrow band-gap, faces challenges such as charge recombination, […]
Abstract: Since the mid-20th century, the interaction between light and inorganic semiconductors plays not only a key role in numerous fascinating phenomena but also provides the physical foundations for the development of many modern technologies […]
Abstract: Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biobased polymer with versatile applications, particularly in biomedical and packaging sectors. However, its limited antimicrobial properties, low crystallization kinetics, and restricted surface characteristics often require modification. Incorporating semiconductor nanoparticles […]
Abstract: This study developed a multifunctional aluminum oxide (Al2O3) film combining anti-reflective and superhydrophobic properties for enhanced photovoltaic (PV) performance in outdoor applications. The film was created on glass substrates using a sol–gel, dip coating, and controlled etching process, […]
Abstract: NaNbO3 doped with Zn (0.00, 0.02, and 0.05 mmol) was synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. Photocatalytic and antibacterial activities were investigated. X-ray diffraction revealed the coexistence of two orthorhombic symmetries (P21ma and Pbma), with doping promoting a progressive […]
Abstract: Sulfones are valuable compounds with diverse applications in pharmaceuticals and materials science. In this study, we present a promising approach for the efficient oxidation of sulfides to sulfones using WO3 supported on chitosan-derived carbon as […]
Abstract: In this study, the structural, magnetic, and cytotoxicity towards MG63 osteoblasts-like cells of epoxy/Y3Fe5O12: 1.6 wt% Al (YIG) nanoparticles were investigated. The nanoparticles crystallized in the garnet structured of YIG without secondary phases. The magnetization curve indicated the sample […]
Abstract: Advancing alkaline water electrolysis requires bifunctional catalysts that are both low-cost and scalable. Here, we report a self-adaptive porous nickel sulfide (NixSy) electrode that, under cathodic operation, reconstructs in situ into a Ni3S2-rich phase […]
Abstract: The rational design of heterostructured photocatalysts with engineered architectures is crucial for advancing sustainable energy-environmental technologies. Here, a microwave-assisted strategy is developed to construct a Zr-MOF/Ag4P2O7 heterostructure, synergistically integrating the high surface area and robustness […]
