Researchers have developed a technique for printing thin metal oxide films at room temperature, and demonstrated the technique by printing metal oxides onto a polymer, creating highly flexible ...

Furthermore, a material engineering approach, such as hydrophobic CeO nanoparticles that attract hydrophobic plastic particles, can aid in effective detection of MPs by selectively targeting MPs like ...

Microplastic (MP) pollution poses a major concern, especially in aquatic environments, necessitating efficient detection technologies to safeguard marine life as well as human health. However, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Mesoporous metal oxides (MMOs) – materials with tiny, interconnected pores – are coveted for integration in flexible electronics. Their high surface area lends utility across ...

Blast furnace gas (BFG) is an important by-product energy for the iron and steel industry and has been widely used for heating and electricity generation. However, the undesirable contaminants, such ...

A team has pioneered a new technique for synthesizing amorphous nanosheets by employing solid-state surfactants. These ultra-thin amorphous nanosheets can now be produced from various kinds of metal ...

TU Delft scientists used plasma treatment with boron (PTB) to build heterojunction solar cells relying on a hole transport layer made of transition metal oxide (TMO) thin films. The device showed ...

The Portugal-based company has developed a metal oxides removal agent product for PV installations located near foundries, steelworks and metal ore mines. Chemitek Solar, a Portuguese manufacturer of ...

Liquid metal droplets fuse themselves into stretchable circuits at room temperature, driven only by surface tension gradients during solvent evaporation.

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for printing thin metal oxide films at room temperature, and have used the technique to create transparent, flexible circuits that are both robust and able to ...
