Geometric and electronic structures of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride with multi-vacancyNano Convergence - Tập 4 - Trang 1-8 - 2017
Do-Hyun Kim, Hag-Soo Kim, Min Woo Song, Seunghyun Lee, Sang Yun Lee
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an electrical insulator with a large band gap
of 5 eV and a good thermal conductor of which melting point reaches about
3000 °C. Due to these properties, much attention was given to the thermal
stability rather than the electrical properties of h-BN experimentally and
theoretically. In this study, we report calculations that the electronic
structure of monolayer h... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractNanozymes mimic the function of enzymes, which drive essential
intracellular chemical reactions that govern biological processes. They
efficiently generate or degrade specific biomolecules that can initiate or
inhibit biological processes, regulating cellular behaviors. Two approaches for
utilizing nanozymes in intracellular chemistry have been reported. Biomimetic
catalysis replicates the... hiện toàn bộ

Sustainable colorimetric/luminescent sensors enabled by armored lipid nanoparticlesNano Convergence - Tập 9 - Trang 1-13 - 2022
Jinkyu Roh, Yong Ho Cho, Dong June Ahn
In this study, we developed a highly stable polymeric vesicle using a
nanosilica-armor membrane to achieve a sustainable colorimetric/luminescent
response. The silica armor can be grown directly as ~ 5 nm spherical
nanoparticles on the surface of the diacetylene (DA) vesicle with liposomal
structure. This can be accomplished via the modified Stöber reaction in pure
water on a layer of amine linker... hiện toàn bộ
Smart nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatmentNano Convergence - Tập 9 - Trang 1-39 - 2022

Innovations in nanomedicine has guided the improved outcomes for cancer
diagnosis and therapy. However, frequent use of nanomaterials remains
challenging due to specific limitations like non-targeted distribution causing
low signal-to-noise ratio for diagnostics, complex fabrication,
reduced-biocompatibility, decreased photostability, and systemic toxicity of
nanomaterials within the body. Thus, b... hiện toàn bộ

Among the number of hyperthermia materials, magnetic nanoparticles have received
much attention. In this work, we studied the heating characteristics of uniform
Fe@Fe3O4 core–shell nanoparticle under near-infrared laser irradiation and
external AC magnetic field applying. The Fe@Fe3O4 core–shell nanoparticles were
prepared by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl and followed by
