The development of new electrode materials for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) has always been
a focal area of materials science, as the current technology may not be able to meet the high …

In this work, we demonstrate an interesting polystyrene microsphere-assisted synthesis of
hierarchical MoS2 spheres composed of ultrathin nanosheets. The as-prepared sample …

This review is focused on the recent developments of the synthesis, mechanism and
applications of IV–VI semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), including germanium-, tin-and lead …

We demonstrate a new hydrothermal method to directly grow SnO2 nanosheets on a
graphene oxide support that is subsequently reduced to graphene. This unique …

Among the various metal oxides, SnO2 has been most widely exploited as a semiconductor
gas sensor for its excellent functionalities. Models illustrating the sensing mechanism of …

Direct current (DC) piezoelectric power generator is promising for the miniaturization of a
power package and self-powering of nanorobots and body-implanted devices. Hence, we …

We report a synthesis of single-crystalline two-dimensional GeS nanosheets using vapor
deposition processes and show that the growth behavior of the nanosheet is substantially …

In this work, we employ new chemistry to grow tin oxide nanosheets in the gel matrix of
sulfonated polystyrene hollow spheres. After calcination in air, hierarchical hollow spheres …

In this paper, SnO x films were produced by reactive radio frequency magnetron sputtering
under various oxygen partial pressure (PO) in conjunction with a thermal annealing at 200° …

Sn-based composites have been considered as hopeful anode materials for lithium-ion
batteries (LIBs), which is assigned to its high theoretical capacities, whereas the practical …
