Abstract A metal-organic hybrid perovskite (CH 3 NH PbI ) with three-dimensional framework of metal-halide octahedra has been reported as a low-cost, solution-processable absorber for thin-film solar cell power-conversion efficiency over 20%. Low-dimensional layered perovskites metal halide slabs separated by the insulating organic layers are to show higher stability, but efficiencies cells limited confinement excitons. In order explore and transport excitons in zero-dimensional...
CuO is a versatile p‐type material for energy applications capable of imparting diverse functionalities by manipulating its band‐energy diagram. We present ultra‐small quantum confined cupric oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) synthesized via simple one‐step environmentally friendly atmospheric pressure microplasma synthesis process. The proposed method, based on the use hybrid plasma‐liquid cell, enables NPs directly from solid metal copper in ethanol with neither surfactants nor reducing...
Using a redox-proteomics approach, this study demonstrates that silver nanoparticles and AgNO<sub>3</sub>affect the proteome differently, indicating different biological impacts.
The anodisation of Co foil in an absolute ethanol electrolyte with a microplasma cathode produces size-controllable Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>quantum dots.
Highly luminescent germanium nanocrystals (NCs) are synthesized at room temperature by hydride reduction of tetrachloride (GeCl4) within inverse micelles. Regulation the Ge NC size is achieved varying alkyl chain length cationic quaternary ammonium surfactants used to form The NCs chemically passivated with allylamine ligands using a Pt-catalyzed hydrogermylation reaction, minimizing surface oxidation while rendering dispersible in range polar solvents. Transmission electron microscopy shows...
Germanium nanocrystals (Ge NCs) have attracted increasing attention as a promising alternative to II–VI and IV–VI semiconductor materials they are cheap, “green,” electrochemically stable, compatible with existing CMOS processing methods. is particularly attractive material for optoelectronic applications it combines narrow band gap high carrier mobilities large exciton Bohr radius. Solution‐phase synthesis characterisation of size monodisperse alkyl‐terminated Ge NCs demonstrated. were...
Luminescent water-soluble germanium nanocrystals (Ge NCs) have been developed as a fluorescent sensing platform for the highly selective and sensitive detection of Fe3+ via quenching their strong blue luminescence, without need analyte-specific labelling groups. The amine-terminated Ge NCs were separated into two discrete size fractions with average diameters 3.9±0.4 nm 6.8±1.8 using centrifugation. smaller 3.9 possessed an lifetime 6.1 ns quantum yield (QY) 21.5%, which is strongly...
We report on a one-step hybrid atmospheric pressure plasma-liquid synthesis of ultra-small NiO nanocrystals (2 nm mean diameter), which exhibit strong quantum confinement. show the versatility process and present superior material characteristics (NCs). The band diagram NCs, obtained experimentally, highlights ideal features for their implementation as hole transport layer in wide range photovoltaic (PV) device architectures. As proof concept, we demonstrate NCs three different PV test...
Room-temperature nonaqueous synthetic routes turn out to be particularly competitive among all the available liquid-phase methods for nanometer-sized metal oxides multiple applications. Microplasma-assisted anodization is employed prepare soluble and crystalline Mo species in a water-deficient extraneous ionic-salt-free ethanol electrolyte.

A room temperature, solution phase method for production of size monodisperse germanium nanocrystals (Ge NCs) terminated with different chemical functionalities (epoxy, acetate, amine, carboxylic acid, and alkyl) is reported. Ge NC photoluminescence spectra show that the emission can be tuned from UV to blue/green through choice ligand.

Alkali‐activated functionalized carbon nanotubes (AFCNTs) and 2D nanostructured MoS 2 are investigated as a novel hybrid material for energy‐storage applications. The nanoflower‐like is grown on the surface of AFCNT using controlled one‐step hydrothermal technique. activation results in greater performance due to improved area. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) area AFCNTs found be 594.7 m g −1 which almost 30 times as‐prepared (CNTs). with attached hydroxyl carboxylic functional groups helps...
Abstract High brightness amine‐terminated silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) have been utilized in a simple and rapid assay for the highly selective sensitive detection of Fe 3+ via quenching their strong blue luminescence, without need analyte‐specific labeling groups.
