High-Crystallinity Urchin-like VS4 Anode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Storage 10.1021/acsami.8b01876 2018-04-17 VS4 anode materials with controllable morphologies from hierarchical microflower, octopus-like structure, seagrass-like structure to urchin-like structure have been successfully synthesized by a facile solvothermal synthesis approach using different alcohols ...
Improvement of Corrosion and Tribocorrosion Behavior of Pure Titanium by Subzero Anodic Spark Oxidation 10.1021/acsami.8b02331 2018-04-17 The present investigation reports corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of anodic spark oxidation (ASO) coatings formed at 20 and −10 °C. Despite the numerous open pores on the layers formed at 20 °C , the plasma discharged channels were blocked on the surfac...
On Grounds of the Memory Effect in Amorphous and Crystalline Apatite: Kinetics of Crystallization and Biological Response 10.1021/acsami.8b02520 2018-04-17 Memory effects, despite being intrinsic to biological systems, are rarely potentiated in biomaterials. By exploring the transition between amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) from different empirical angles, here, we attempt to set the ...
Electrospun Polyhydroxybutyrate/Poly(ε-caprolactone)/Sol–Gel-Derived Silica Hybrid Scaffolds with Drug Releasing Function for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications 10.1021/acsami.8b02656 2018-04-17 Electrospun hybrid scaffolds are an effective platform to deliver drugs site specifically for the prevention and treatment of diseases in addition to promote tissue regeneration because of the flexibility to load drugs therein. In the present study, electrosp...
Decomposition of the Thermal Boundary Resistance across Carbon Nanotube–Graphene Junctions to Different Mechanisms 10.1021/acsami.8b00826 2018-04-17 Three different mechanisms are identified to contribute to thermal resistances across a carbon nanotube–graphene junction: material mismatch, nonplanar junction, and defects. To isolate the contributions of each mechanism, we have designed five types of junct...
Fluorescence Modulation of Graphene Quantum Dots Near Structured Silver Nanofilms 10.1021/acsami.7b19524 2018-04-16 Here, we study the plasmonic metal-enhanced fluorescence properties of blue-emitting graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and green-emitting graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. Reactive ion sputtered silver (Ag) on zinc...
