We report on Si NWs modified by covalent scaffolds, via SiC bonds, that give nearly full coverage of the Si atop sites and, at the same time, provide a route for subsequent functionalization. The obtained CH(3)CHCHSi NWs exhibit superior oxidation resistance over Si NWs that are modified with CH(3) or CH(3)CC functionalities, which give nearly full coverage of the Si atop site too.

There is a new awareness of the widespread nature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its connection to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This has catalyzed collaboration between cardiologists, hepatologists, endocrinologists, and the wider multidisciplinary team to address the need for earlier identification of those with MASLD who are at increased risk for CVD. The overlap in the pathophysiologic processes and parallel prevalence of CVD, metabolic syndrome, and MASLD highlight the multisystem consequences of poor cardiovascular-liver-metabolic health.

Nanoscale light sources are demanded vigorously due to rapid development in photonic integrated circuits (PICs). III-V semiconductor nanowire (NW) lasers have manifested themselves as indispensable components in this field, associated with their extremely compact footprint and ultra-high optical gain within the 1D cavity. In this study, the carrier concentrations of indium phosphide (InP) NWs are actively controlled to modify their emissive properties at room temperature.

Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (eCORR) is one of the attractive approaches to CO utilization. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to prepare highly efficient and selective electrocatalysts to realize deep conversion of multi-carbon products. The absence of active sites due to the reconfiguration of copper-based catalysts leads to migration deactivation during catalysis, rendering low catalytic efficiency.

The thermal transport properties of nanowires (NWs) can be significantly influenced by the implementation of a core-shell structure, which introduces interface scattering and phonon localization effects, opening avenues for novel applications. In this paper, we use the method of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics to simulate the effects of system temperature, cross-sectional width, and nanopillar interface on the thermal transport of GaN/SiNcore-shell NWs. The thermal transport process of phonons in core-shell NWs is studied by calculating the vibrational density of states, phonon participation rate, and dispersion curve.

Photocatalysis is one of the most effective ways to solve environmental problems by solving pollutants. This article designed and prepared a conjugated system of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine-g-CN (TAP-CN) to modify ZnO NWs. We systematically studied the photocatalytic performance of ZnO NWs modified with different ratios of TAP-CN.
