Microspheres

The scientists of the National University of Science and Technology "MISIS" (NUST MISIS) being a part of an international team of researches managed to increase the capacity and extend the service life of lithium-ion batteries. According to the researchers, they have synthesized a new nanomaterial t more

The same material you'll find at the tip of a pencil--graphite--has long been a key component in today's lithium-ion batteries. As our reliance on these batteries increases, however, graphite-based electrodes are due for an upgrade. For that, scientists are looking to the element at the heart of the more

Another group of 10 start-ups and chemical researchers will see their ideas move a step closer to commercialization after being named winners of the 2018 edition of AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals' Imagine Chemistry challenge. Imagine Chemistry was launched to help solve real-life chemistry-related ch more

Ln3+-doped fluoride is an economical and highly efficient luminescent material, which plays a crucial role in LEDs, biolabeling, and sensors. Thus, the Na5Gd9F32: Ln3+ sub-microspheres with multicolor tunable emission were successfully synthesized via a simlple water bath method employing Gd(OH)CO3 more

Rich heteroatom-doped conjugated nanoporous polymers with uniform microspherical morphology exhibit remarkablly high capacity up to 450 wt% in removing iodine from vapor phase (at 348 K and atmosphere pressure). more

By using [BMIM][PO4] as a coupling agent, a novel hydrothermal method is developed to prepare microspherical SbPO4 with different morphologies and photocatalytic abilities. An evolution from flower- to sphere-shaped products was observed. Regular SbPO4 microspheres with diameters of 10-35 μm were fo more
