Abstract Laser diodes are efficient light sources. However, state-of-the-art laser diode-based lighting systems rely on light-converting inorganic phosphor materials, which strongly limit the efficiency and lifetime, as well achievable output due to energy losses, saturation, thermal degradation, low irradiance levels. Here, we demonstrate a macroscopically expanded, three-dimensional diffuser composed of interconnected hollow hexagonal boron nitride microtubes with nanoscopic...
In this work, individual hollow and mesoporous graphitic microtubes were integrated into electronic devices using a FIB/SEM system investigated as gas vapor sensors by applying different bias voltages (in the range of 10 mV–1 V). By increasing voltage, slight current enhancement is observed, which mainly attributed to self-heating effect. A behavior ammonia NH3 sensing applied voltage for with diameters down 300 nm reported. case microtube, an increase in response was while reverse effect...
Carbon-based fibrous scaffolds are highly attractive for all biomaterial applications that require electrical conductivity. It is additionally advantageous if such materials resembled the structural and biochemical features of natural extracellular environment. Here, we show a novel modular design strategy to engineer biomimetic carbon fiber-based scaffolds. Highly porous ceramic zinc oxide (ZnO) microstructures serve as three-dimensional (3D) sacrificial templates infiltrated with nanotubes...
The coating of porous scaffolds with nanoparticles is crucial in many applications, for example to generate catalysis or make bioactive. A standard and well-established method surfaces charged electrophoresis, but when used on scaffolds, this often leads a blockage the pores so that only outermost layers are coated. In study, electrophoretic process monitored situ kinetics nanoparticle deposition investigated. This concept can be extended design periodic (PEPD) strategy, thus avoiding...
Novel gas sensors have been realized by decorating clusters of tubular Aerographite with CdTe using magnetron sputtering techniques. Subsequently, individual microtubes were separated and electrically contacted on a SiO2/Si substrate pre-patterned electrodes. Cathodoluminescence, electron microscopy electrical characterization prove the successful formation polycrystalline thin film enabling an excellent response to ammonia. Furthermore, dynamical ammonia exposure has investigated,...
Tetrapodal ZnO (T‐ZnO) and aerographite networks represent two highly open porous (94.6 99.96%, respectively) model materials on which the impact of an atmospheric‐pressure plasma was studied for first time. The air treatment by a surface barrier discharge caused remarkable modifications T‐ZnO template, leading to large number oxygen vacancies. These observations were made using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Raman spectroscopy. In second proposed set‐up, pellets material processed jet...
