PbS nanostructures with different morphologies, such as rod-like, belt-like, downy-velvet-flower-like and dendrite-like, were fabricated successfully under varied reaction conditions in aqueous solution at lower temperature by the assistance of surfactant CTAB. Especially, among all the synthesis methods for PbS nanocrystals, this is the first report using basic acetate of lead, which was formed at initial reaction stage, as a precursor to control the crystal nucleation rate. This synthesis method is a promising one to metal sulfide for its easy control, low-cost and large-scale production. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis) were used to characterize the products. A rational mechanism is proposed and three control factors to the crystal directional growth are also concluded.

This study shows the efficiency of WH-C450, an adsorbent obtained from water hyacinth (WH) biomass, in the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous solutions. The process involves calcination of WH at 450 °C to produce an optimal adsorbent material capable of removing up to 73% of SMX and maximum SMX adsorption capacity of 132.23 mg/g.

Machine learning algorithms have proven to be effective for essential quantum computation tasks such as quantum error correction and quantum control. Efficient hardware implementation of these algorithms at cryogenic temperatures is essential. Here we utilize magnetic topological insulators as memristors (termed magnetic topological memristors) and introduce a cryogenic in-memory computing scheme based on the coexistence of a chiral edge state and a topological surface state.

Understanding when and where heat adversely influences health outcomes is critical for targeting interventions and adaptations. However, few studies have analyzed the role of indoor heat exposures on acute health outcomes. To address this research gap, the study partnered with the New York City Fire Department Emergency Medical Services.

Metal-nonaqueous solution interfaces, a key to many electrochemical technologies, including lithium metal batteries, are much less understood than their aqueous counterparts. Herein, on several metal-nonaqueous solution interfaces, we observe capacitances that are 2 orders of magnitude lower than the usual double-layer capacitance. Combining electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and physical modeling, we ascribe the ultralow capacitance to an interfacial layer of 10-100 nm above the metal surface.
