Sulfur-doped carbon dots were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method and exhibited high fluorescence quantum yield (67%) exceptional emission behavior.
Quantum dots, derived from two-dimensional (2D) materials, have shown promising applications in bioimaging, photocatalysis, biosensors and white light emission devices (W-LEDs).

Ecological issues such as stringent, increasing needs. rapid development clean energy, solar wind hydrogen expected to be key solve problem. Several excellent literature works have highlighted quantum dots in supercapacitors, lithium-sulfur batteries, photocatalytic production. Here, we outline latest achievements their composites...

ZnO nanowires, CuO and α-Fe2O3 nanotubes as well their corresponding arrays have been successfully synthesized via a low cost, generalizable, simplistic template method. Diameters of one-dimensional (1-D) metal oxide nanostructures (∼60−260 nm), measuring micrometers in length, can be reliably reproducibly controlled by the pore channel dimensions.

Collisions of several kinds metal or oxide single nanoparticles (NPs) with a less catalytic electrode surface have been observed through amplification the current by electrocatalysis. Two general types response, staircase blip (or spike) are seen particle collisions. The responses were caused random individual events as function time rather than usual continuous an ensemble large number events. treatment stochastic electrochemistry like NP collisions is different from model for...

Abstract Recent experiments on the observation of collisions single nanoparticles (NPs) with an electrode through amplification current by electrocatalysis are described. Systems in which particles adhere to upon collision produce a step and staircase response, while those only interact for short time spike or blip, little change steady state current.

Single nanoparticle (NP) collisions were successfully observed by a potentiometric measurement. The open circuit potential (OCP) of measuring Au ultramicroelectrode (UME) changes when Pt NPs collide with the UME in hydrazine solution. OCP change is related to redox processes, concentration particles, particle size, and electrode size. Compared amperometric technique, this approach has several advantages: higher sensitivity, simpler apparatus, fewer problems NP decomposition, contamination.
