IR spectra from 4000 to 100 cm–1 were measured for four kinds of alkali chloride solutions (LiCl, NaCl, KCl, CsCl solutions) with different concentrations. Their second derivative spectra revealed two bands around 3400 and 3160 cm–1 attributed to the OH stretching mode of weakly hydrogen-bonded (WHB) and strongly hydrogen-bonded (SHB) water species, r...

These features highlight the application potential of deep learning enhanced photodetectors in applications that require accurate for visual light communication (VLC). Experimental results showcased...
Continue readingIn this work, the micromorphology of the Ni @ amorphous carbon films and their relationship to other optical properties using atomic force microscopic (AFM) imaging were examined. The surface topography of these Ni @ amorphous carbon sheets was reported using stereometric analysis and the SPIPTM 6.7.4 software in compliance with ISO 25178-2:2012 and ASME B46.1-20...
Continue readingTwo novel metallogels, designated as Cd-AIA and Hg-AIA, were synthesized at ambient temperature utilizing 5-aminoisophthalic acid (AIA) as the gelator, along with cadmium(II) acetate and mercury(II) acetate in N,N-dimethylformamide. Rheological tests validated the mechanical robustness of the Cd(II)- and Hg(II)-based metallogels under various conditions. Characteri...
Continue readingUpconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have incredible potential for countless applications, especially in biology and medicine. These NPs can be used to bioimaging animals and plants and analyze their physiology, metabolic pathways, or intercellular interactions in real-time. However, before reaching such an application, the UCNPs physicochemical properties during pro...
Continue readingSingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted attention for use in thermoelectric generators (TEGs) that convert thermal energy into electricity. SWCNTs, which are lightweight, flexible, and nontoxic materials, are perfectly suited for TEGs as self-contained power sources for Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. However, the generation of electricity by TEG...

Continue readingThe demand for polarized structural color materials with specific optical properties drives the advancement of nanostructure-based color generation composites. Here, a facile stretched and air-dried hydrogel strategy is employed to synthesize xerogel films with uni-directionally aligned silica nanorods (SNs) for constructing polarization-dependent structural colors...
Continue readingAnti-hemorrhage nanomaterials are emerging as a promising alternative to traditional materials such as cotton and medical gauze, which often exhibit limited hemostatic properties and excessive adhesion to wound surfaces. This study presents the development of hemostatic nanofiber mats fabricated from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) via electrospinning. The incorporation ...

The material characterization of spin-coated Cr2O3 films using a wide variety of analytical techniques, namely, atomic force microscopy, field emission scanning electron mic...
Continue readingThis work aims to synthesize economical and eco-friendly naturally sourced nano-pigments with bright colors, antimicrobial activity, and thermal stability from algal cells cultivated in wastewater, which are then harvested, dried, and converted into algal biomass (AB). Algal biomass (AB) was covered by a very thin nano-layer of either zinc ferrite or cerium ferri...
Continue readingCircularly polarized light (CPL) detection is crucial for optical communication, bioimaging and quantum computing. However, CPL detectors based on chiral low-dimensional perovskites face a trade-off between optoelectronic performance and CPL discrimination, and typically exhibit a CPL response within a narrow spectral range. Here, we overcome these limitations by...
Continue readingIn this work, novel polymeric blends were prepared from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and silkworm cocoon waste (SCW), that were defective cocoons excluded during the silk-making process in the ratio 50:50 w/w. These blends were incorporated with moringa seed oil (MSO) as a bio-based plasticizer with different concentrations (1, 2, and 3%) to obtain a final bioplastic...
