Electrodeposition of nanowires of a high copper content thiourea precursor of copper sulfide.

Copper thiourea complexes are an important material class for application as a precursor of copper sulfide nanocrystals with potential use in solar cells, optoelectronics, medicine, They represent a type of single source precursor, comprising both copper and sulfur in one chemical compound, whose tunable stoichiometry and morphology enable control of the quality and properties of the synthesized copper sulfide nanocrystals. Here, we present a template free electrochemical route to prepare nanowires of copper thiourea (tu) chloride hemihydrate ([Cu(tu)]Cl·½HO) by pulse deposition. We proposed the model of the growth of nanowires.

Facile synthesized novel hybrid graphene oxide/cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles based surface coating material inhibit bacterial secretion pathway for antibacterial effect.

Nanomaterial based paints are in current demand in the area of surface protective coatings due to the significant advances made to improve their antibacterial and anticorrosion characteristics. In this work, we have developed magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) paint with the incorporation of cobalt ferrite (CF) and graphene oxide (GO) along with paint materials by using high energy ball milling (HEBM). Morphological, elemental and functional analysis of the MGO paint is studied with ESEM, AFM, Raman, FTIR spectroscopy.

P-type β-MoO nanostructures on n-Si by hydrogenation process: synthesis and application towards self-biased UV-visible photodetection.

We report on the synthesis and UV-vis photodetection application of p-type MoO nanostructures (NSs) on Si substrate. β-MoO NSs have been synthesized from previously grown α-MoO structures/n-type Si via a hydrogenation process at 450 °C. After hydrogenation, the α-MoO structures were completely converted into β-MoO NSs without the presence of sub-oxidized phases of molybdenum oxide.
