Cesium lead halide (CsPbX3) nanocrystals have emerged as a new family of semiconductor nanomaterials that can outperform existing semiconductor nanocrystals owing to their superb optical and charge transport properties. Although these materials are expected to have many superior...
High-temperature thermal insulation materials challenge extensive oxide candidates such as porus SiO2, Al2O3, yttria-stabilized zirconia, and mullite, due to the needs of good mechanical, thermal, and chemical reliabilities at high temperatures simultaneously. Recently, porous r...
In this study, we performed a microwave sintering (MWS) of Al2O3 ceramic and Al2O3-based composites with nominal contents of graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 vol%. The GPL dispersion in N-methyl pyrroleketone was optimized to deagglomerate the GPLs without...
We propose an economic and facile method for the preparation of silica nanoparticles through a two-step process utilizing chlorosilane residues. Mixed chlorosilane residue was alcoholized with absolute ethanol as a first step to form tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The TEOS was then u...
