AI Article Synopsis

  • Monocrystalline mesoporous BiFeO3 crystals were synthesized through a multi-step process converting a coordination polymer called Bi[Fe(CN)6]·4H2O.
  • This transformation effectively lowered the crystallization temperature required for creating the perovskite oxide while maintaining its high crystallinity.
  • The resulting BiFeO3 crystals have unique properties due to their mesoporous structure.

Article Abstract

Monocrystalline mesoporous BiFeO3 crystals were obtained via a multi-step single-crystal to single-crystal transformation of a coordination polymer, Bi[Fe(CN)6]·4H2O. This unique transformation process significantly decreased the crystallization temperature of perovskite oxide without losing high crystallinity.

Glycidyl azide polymer energetic thermoplastic elastomer (GAP-ETPE) has become a research hotspot due to its excellent comprehensive performance. In this paper, metastable intermolecular energetic nanocomposites (MICs) were prepared by a simple and safe method, and the catalytic performance for decomposition of GAP-ETPE was studied. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the MICs exhibited specific crystal formation, which proved that the MICs were successfully prepared.

Degradable mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONPs) are attracting significant attention in the area of designing smart drug carriers mainly due to their excellent stability and multiple functions. However, the efficient, controllable, and large-scale production of MONPs still faces huge challenges. Herein, a novel and facile continuous-flow nanoprecipitation strategy was reported to synthesize hollow MONPs with highly uniform and tailored properties.

Substitution of monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon as active materials in photovoltaics with highly efficient perovskite materials is quite common. Although perovskite materials offer better flexibility, are cost-effective, and have higher conversion efficiency, they still require structural modifications for better performance. This study quantitatively investigates how mesoporous top surfaces improve the performance of methylammonium lead iodide ( ) perovskite solar cells.

We propose a rapid, one-pot method to generate photoluminescent (PL) mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (PSiNPs). Typically, mesoporous silicon (meso-PSi) films, obtained by electrochemical etching of monocrystalline silicon substrates, do not display strong PL because the silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) in the skeleton are generally too large to display quantum confinement effects. Here we describe an improved approach to form photoluminescent PSiNPs from meso-PSi by partial oxidation in aqueous sodium borate (borax) solutions.
