In the minerals processing industry, the surface chemistry of mineral particles and its real-time detection can significantly enhance process performance, and ultimately leading to automotive and intelligent control. The adsorption of collector molecule onto bulk mineral specimens could be investigated with the help of shell-isolated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). However, this method is unsuitable for the online detection of particles fluid consisted of micro-sized chalcocite that encountered in industrial production processes. In this work, a novel strategy of shell-isolated nanoparticles synthesis by electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles film and isolation of this film with crosslinked silica monolayer was proposed. The adsorption of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), a typical flotation collector, onto a copper sulfide mineral, chalcocite was measured in-situ with the help of such a SERS substrate. Enhancement factors of 10-10 was calculated based on an idealized model. Furthermore, we discussed the stability of the silica isolation monolayer under high-power laser irradiation.

Limited by the adsorption and diffusion rate of water molecules, traditional humidity sensors, such as those based on polymer electrolytes, porous ceramics, and metal oxides, typically have long response times, which hinder their application in monitoring transient humidity changes. Here we present an ultrafast humidity sensor with a millisecond-level response. The sensor is prepared by assembling monolayer graphene oxide quantum dots on silica microspheres using a simple electrostatic self-assembly technique.

Antireflection (AR) coatings with mechanical robustness and superhydrophobic properties have wide potential applications in optical, electronic, and automotive fields. However, the fabrication of large-sized, robust, and multifunctional AR coatings on plastic/polymer substrates has been a challenging problem. In this study, we developed a bottom-up approach to produce mechanically robust, enhanced transmittance, and superhydrophobic coatings on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate.

As the feature size of microelectronic circuits is scaling down to nanometer order, the increasing interconnect crosstalk, resistance-capacitance (RC) delay and power consumption can limit the chip performance and reliability. To address these challenges, new low-k dielectric (k < 2) materials need to be developed to replace current silicon dioxide (k = 3.9) or SiCOH, etc.

2D materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a new class of atomic-layer materials possessing optical and electric properties that significantly depend on the number of layers. Electronic transitions can be manipulated in artificial resonant electromagnetic (EM) fields using metasurfaces and other designed nanostructures. Here, we demonstrate prominently resonant enhancement in the photoluminescence (PL) of atomic monolayer, WS, doped with a small quantity of Mo.
