This work reports the facile, controlled, and low-cost synthesis of a nickel oxide and polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites-based electrode material for supercapacitor application. PANI-NiO nanocomposites with varying concentrations of NiO were synthesi...

Metal dopants are important for HfO₂-based resistive switching mechanisms in resistive random-access memory (RRAM) because they can improve the performance of RRAM devices. Although Cu ions have been widely explored as metal dopants, Cu dopants with...

To elucidate the oxidation behavior of the 2,2′-azobisphenolate (azp) ligand, a series of homoleptic 1:2 Al^III complexes of four azp derivatives (L1) with 5,5′-dichloro-, 5,5′-dimethyl-, 5,5′-di-t-butyl-, 3,3′,5,5′...

A new niobium-doped inorganic scintillating oxyfluoride, Rb₄Ge₅O₉F₆:Nb, was synthesized in single crystal form by high-temperature flux growth. The host structure, Rb₄Ge₅O₉F₆, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with lattice parameters...

We report on the tetraruthenium macrocycles Ru₄-5 and -6 with a π-conjugated pyrene-appended 5,8-divinylquinoxaline ligand and either isophthalate or thiophenyl-2,5-dicarboxylate linkers and their charge-transfer salts formed by oxidation with two...

Solid-state batteries are the holy grail for the next generation of automotive batteries. The development of solid-state batteries requires efficient electrolytes to improve the performance of the cells in terms of ionic conductivity, electrochemical...

Although boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based metallacycles are expected to be promising candidates for imaging probes and therapeutic agents, their biomedical applications are restricted by their short absorption/emission wavelengths. In this work, w...

Three copper(I) dithiocarbamate–phosphine complexes of the general formula Cu(PPh₃)₂L were synthesized by metathesis reactions of the potassium salt of the dithiocarbamate ligand L and the precursor complex Cu(PPh₃)₂NO₃ in an equimolar ratio. L...

This study looked at the thermal conductivity of translucent (Y_1−xGd_x)₂O₃ (where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solution ceramics in the temperature range from 50 K to 300 K. The samples were obtained by hot pressing from high-purity nanopowders at 160...

We have developed an easy route to prepare (nano-ZrO₂,nano-ZrC_x)@C composites with varying ZrO₂/ZrC_x content. The process consists of preparing a zirconium-loaded, iminodiacetate-functionalized styrene-divinylbenzene (STY-DVB) copolymer, and its subs...

Ruthenium(II) complexes with the general formula TpRu(L)(NCMe)Ph (Tp = hydrido(trispyrazolyl)borate, L = CO, PMe₃, P(OCH₂)₃CEt, P(pyr)₃, P(OCH₂)₂(O)CCH₃) have previously been shown to catalyze arene alkylation via Ru-mediated arene C–H activati...

In this paper, we report the synthesis and structural characterisation of two hetero-metallic clusters, [(CO)₃CrSn₅Cr(CO)₃]⁴⁻ and [(CO)₃MoSn₅Mo(CO)₃]⁴⁻, both of which have a pentagonal bipyramidal core. The structures are similar to that...

The efficient regio- and stereoselective syntheses of (Z,Z)-bis(3-amino-3-oxo-1-propenyl) selenides and diselenides in high yields based on the nucleophilic addition of sodium selenide to 2-propynamides and sodium diselenide to 3-(trimethylsilyl)-2-p...

The cubic oxyhydride perovskite BaTiO_3−xH_x, where the well-known ferroelectric oxide BaTiO₃ is partially hydridized, exhibits a variety of functions such as being a catalyst and precursor for the synthesis of mixed-anion compounds by utilizing...

The article is devoted to the study of selenium (VI) reduction processes in sulfuric acid solutions when titanium electrodes are polarized by alternating current of industrial frequency (50 Hz). It was found that selenate ion reduction occurs on the...

Two zinc(II) complexes with dimethyl 2,2′-bipyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate (py-2py) of the general formula [Zn(py-2py)X₂], X = Cl⁻ (1) and Br⁻ (2) were synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single-crystal...

Developing the high-efficiency and cheap non-noble catalysts towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of significance for water splitting. Herein, for the first time, we report a simple method of acid leaching combined with carbothermic reduction...

As the overall turnover-limiting step (TOLS) in the homogeneous conversion of N₂O, the oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) from an N₂O to an Ru-H complex to generate an N₂ and Ru-OH complex has been comprehensively investigated by density functional theory (D...
