Single-crystalline KNb(3)O(8) nanowires with widths of 100-300 nm and lengths up to tens of microns were synthesized by calcining Nb(2)O(5) powders in molten KCl and K(2)SO(4). The phase of the products was determined by means of x-ray diffraction, and the morphology and structure were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction techniques. The growth direction of the KNb(3)O(8) obtained was determined to be the [001] crystallographic direction. Meanwhile, the polarization response of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) response was investigated. The as-synthesized nanowires clearly exhibited a SHG response, which means that the nanowires were an efficient nanoscale second-harmonic light source. The excellent nonlinear optical property of KNb(3)O(8) shows potential for application in nano-optical devices.

Herein, we report the synthesis of two-dimensional TaSeC (2D-TaSeC) nanosheets using electrochemical lithiation in multilayer TaSeC followed by sonication in deionized water. Multilayer TaSeC was obtained via solid-state synthesis of FeTaSeC followed by chemical etching of Fe. 2D-TaSeC exhibited promising electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction from water compared to multilayer TaSeC and 2D-TaSe.

Ligand-functionalized InP-based quantum dots (QDs) have been developed as an innovative class of nontoxic photosensitizer suitable for antimicrobial applications, aimed at reducing or preventing pathogen transmission from one host to another via high contact surfaces. A hot injection method followed by functionalization via ligand exchange with 9-anthracene carboxylic acid (ACA) yielded the desired core/shell InP/ZnSe/ZnS QDs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed these QDs to be uniform in size (∼3.
