The unique ability of carbon atoms to participate in robust covalent bonds with other carbon
atoms in diverse hybridization states (sp, sp 2, sp 3) or with nonmetallic elements enables …

Carbon nanohorns (sometimes also known as nanocones) are conical carbon
nanostructures constructed from an sp2 carbon sheet. Nanohorns require no metal catalyst …

The extraordinary impact of metal-based complexes on synthetic methods is still recognized
nowadays, and attempts are currently undertaken to further extend the use of metal-assisted …

The low or lack of solubility of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene/graphite in
organic solvents and water severely hampers the study of their chemical functionalizations …

In the last three decades, zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional carbon
nanomaterials have attracted significant attention because of their unique electronic, optical …

Magnetite nanoparticles of 9 nm size were synthesized by co-precipitation, hybridized with
carbon dots by in situ hydrothermal treatment, and chemically bound on an acid-treated …

Porphyrin macromolecules play critical roles in many natural processes. Studies are going
on to mimic their role in natural systems and use them in various applications in artificial …

Single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) are new carbonaceous materials. In this paper,
we report the first successful preparation of SWNHs encapsulating trimetallic nitride template …

The present research reports a smart multifunctional oxidized single-wall carbon nanohorns
(oxSWNHs) drug delivery system (DDS) which could enhance the anti-tumor effect of …

Tobacco addiction is the second-leading cause of death in the world. Due to the nature of
nicotine (a small molecule), finding ways to combat nicotine's deleterious effects has been a …
