The reaction conditions for the synthesis of Cu-BTC (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) were elucidated using a continuous-flow microreactor-assisted solvothermal system to achieve crystal size and phase control. A high-rate synthesis of Cu-BTC metal-organic frameworks with BET surface area of more than 1600 m²/g (Langmuir surface area of more than 2000...

Converting CO2 to valuable materials is attractive.Herein, we report using simple metallothermic reactions to reduce atmospheric CO2 to dense nanoporous graphene. By using a Zn/Mg mixture as a reductant, the resulted nanoporous graphene exhibits highly desirable properties: high specific surface area of 1900 m2/g, a great conductivity of 1050 S/m...

Sintering of nanoparticle inks over large area-substrates is a key enabler for scalable fabrication of patterned and continuous films, with multiple emerging applications. The high speed and ambient condition operation of photonic sintering has elicited significant interest for this purpose. In this work, we experimentally characterize the temperature evolution and...

Combined plasmonic nanocrystals and metal–organic framework
thin-films are fabricated for sensing gases in the near-infrared
range. This nanocomposite thin-film shows a highly sensitive response
in near-infrared absorption, which is attributed to preconcentration
of gas molecules in metal–organic framework pores causing close
proximity to the electromagnetic fields at the plasmonic nanocrystal...

This paper reviews the current progress in mathematical modeling of
anti-reflective subwavelength structures. Methods covered include effective medium
theory (EMT), finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), transfer matrix method (TMM), the
Fourier modal method (FMM)/rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) and the finite
element method (FEM). Time-based solutions to Maxwell’s equations, such as FDTD,
have...
