Local Structural Investigations of Composition-driven Changes in Inorganic Solid Solutions
A smaller sized dopant replacing a larger sized element in a compound creates chemical pressure, resulting in a contraction of the lattice parameter and likewise a “negative” pressure is created by substitution of larger ...
Thermodynamics of Protein Adsorption on Gold and Carbonaceous Nanoparticles Probed by Second Harmonic Light Scattering
Over the past two decades, interaction of small molecules, peptides, and proteins
with nanoparticles of various shapes and size have been keenly pursued for two reasons: to find
application of these nanoparticle-molecule ...
Structural and Electrochemical Investigations of Monovalent and Divalent Aqueous Rechargeable Batteries
Several stringent laws and regulations have been enforced by various National/International agencies for the adoption of sustainable methods for energy production and usage. In recent times, electric grids based on alternative ...
N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Synthesis of Oxazolones, e-Lactones and N-N Axially Chiral Molecules
The diverse reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in organocatalysis is due to the possibility of different modes of action. Although NHC-bound enolates and dienolates were well-known, the NHC-bound cross-conjugated ...
Chemistry of bimetallic, chalcogenide and highly reactive metal nanoparticles
The remarkable modifications in the characteristics of materials on a nanoscale, caused by surface effects, quantum confinement, and dependence on shape, leads to diverse applications of nanomaterials, such as in catalysis, ...
Studies on chalcopyrite phosphides and phenolic acid-based derivatives towards lithium storage and chemical sensors
Li-ion batteries are among the highly promising power sources for many emerging technologies, including electric vehicles and smart grids. However, an increased demand for energy density and long cycle life cannot be ...
Two-dimensional layered materials integrated with oxide semiconductor-based hybrid devices for broadband photodetector applications
Photodetectors find their applications in several arenas such as that of bio-integrated electronics, health monitoring, high-definition imaging, remote controls, spectroscopy, and others. Therefore, photodetectors play an ...
