Mg1.8La0.2Ni hydrogen storage alloy was ball-milled with Ni powder, leading to the formation of a nanocrystalline and amorphous microstructure with particle sizes less than 50 nm in diameter. Each… (More)
Three pillar[5]arene dimers, bridged by a flexible aliphatic chain (H1) or a relatively rigid phenylene unit (H2 and H3), were synthesized, with the possible synthetic strategies being discussed. The… (More)
A bright NUV mechanofluorescent terpyridine-based material with a piezoelectric space group was obtained. The single crystal analysis and quantum chemical calculations indicated the existence of… (More)
Simple N-phenylcarbazole (NPC) could readily form brightly mechanofluorescent crystals with mechanically touch-sensitive response, regardless of crystallization methods. NPC with room-temperature… (More)
Multicolor mechanoluminescence (ML) was first realized by using the stable organic blue ML emitter N-phenylcarbazole as the host matrix. It is claimed that a good ML host should have a moderate… (More)
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a pivotal process in many energy conversion and storage techniques, such as water splitting, regenerative fuel cells, and rechargeable metal-air batteries. The… (More)
