Seamless Rim-Functionalization of h-BN with Silica-Experiment and Theoretical Modeling.

Chemistry 21 , 7662-7, (2015)

Boron nitride contains six-ring layers, which are isostructural to graphene, and it exhibits similar extraordinary mechanical strength. Unlike graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an insulator and has some polar features that make it a perfect material...

A monomeric [Zr(CO3)4](4-) complex in an ammonium zirconium carbonate aqueous solution studied by extended X-ray absorption fine structure, Raman and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Dalton Trans. 44(2) , 645-52, (2014)

The speciation of zirconium complexes in ammonium zirconium carbonate (AZC) solutions should be further studied in order to develop high-performance AZC complexes for use in elaborate industrial materials. Thus, the speciation and the structure of various zir...

Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev. 84 , 1-29, (2015)

The development of responsive biomaterials capable of demonstrating modulated function in response to dynamic physiological and mechanical changes in vivo remains an important challenge in bone tissue engineering. To achieve long-term repair and good clinical...

B-N polymer embedded iron(0) nanoparticles as highly active and long lived catalyst in the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 13(7) , 4954-61, (2013)

B-N polymer embedded iron(0) nanoparticles (NPs) were in-situ generated from the reduction of iron(III) acetylacetonate during the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) in THF solution at 40.0 +/- 0.5 degrees C. The iron(0) NPs could be isolated as powder fr...

Gate-defined confinement in bilayer graphene-hexagonal boron nitride hybrid devices.

Nano Lett. 12(9) , 4656-60, (2012)

We report on the fabrication and measurement of nanoscale devices that permit electrostatic confinement in bilayer graphene on a substrate. The graphene bilayer is sandwiched between hexagonal boron nitride bottom and top gate dielectrics. Top gates are patte...

CO oxidation on h-BN supported Au atom.

J. Chem. Phys. 138(3) , 034701, (2013)

The mechanism of CO oxidation by O(2) on Au atoms supported on the pristine and defected hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) surface has been studied theoretically using density functional theory. It is found that O(2) binds stronger than CO on an Au atom supporte...

Graphene-based photovoltaic cells for near-field thermal energy conversion.

Sci. Rep. 3 , 1383, (2013)

Thermophotovoltaic devices are energy-conversion systems generating an electric current from the thermal photons radiated by a hot body. While their efficiency is limited in far field by the Schockley-Queisser limit, in near field the heat flux transferred to...

Boron nitride nanotubes and nanosheets.

ACS Nano 4(6) , 2979-93, (2010)

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a layered material with a graphite-like structure in which planar networks of BN hexagons are regularly stacked. As the structural analogue of a carbon nanotube (CNT), a BN nanotube (BNNT) was first predicted in 1994; since t...
