Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a crucial technique in the preparation of high-quality thin films and coatings, and is widely used in various industries including semiconductor, optics, and nuclear fuel, due to its operation simplicity and high growth rate. The complexity of the CVD process arises from numerous parameters, such as precursor chemistry, temperature, pressure, gas flow dynamics, and substrate characteristics. These multiscale parameters make the optimization of the CVD process a challenging task.

As per the principle of dividing spontaneous combustion "three zones" (SCTZ), numerical simulation of the distribution of SCTZ in the goaf of the work face was performed. The O content and index gas in the goaf were measured and analyzed, and combined with the in-situ measurement outcomes, the distribution of SCTZ in the goaf was determined through the FLUENT numerical modeling program.

Herein, a new strategy based on the fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition (FB-CVD) process was proposed to prepare 3D graphene networks (3DGNs) with various nano-architectures. Specially designed SiC-C@graphene core/shell nanoparticles were prepared taking the advantages of the FB-CVD system, and 3DGNs with hierarchical nanostructures were obtained after removing the SiC core.

The anti-metastasis efficacy of photochemotherapy is strictly limited by poor targeting capability with respect to circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood and lymph. Herein, we decorate the platelet membrane (PM) on a surface of nanoparticles (NPs), referred to as nanoplatelets.

In the current stage, the On-Off mechanism of chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSN) for delivering achiral drug in chiral environment has rarely been reported. Herein, On-Off chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (On-Off-D-CMSN and On-Off-L-CMSN) were successfully synthesized and its particular contribution in delivering achiral drug indometacin (IMC) in chiral environment was mainly studied. The as-synthesized On-Off-D-CMSN and On-Off-L-CMSN were verified by fourier transform infrared spectrometer and circular dichroism.
