isolated from a host of biological mediums, such as blood plasma, saliva, and skin. The role of EVs and their contents, including RNA, proteins, and signaling molecules, depends on the specific cells and organs from which they are derived and the diseased state. EVs play a key role in cell-to-cell communication. Although the role of EVs in skin biology is ... Read more

Titanium dioxide powders modified with specific metal or metal oxide could be used as photocatalyst with visible light activity. In this work, different concentration of strontium (II) doped TiO2 photocatalyst powders were prepared from alkoxide solutions containing Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) via the sol-gel method and by calcination of a mixture of SrCl2.6H2O and titanium dioxide sol solution. And ... Read more

The Nanoporous Anodic Aluminium Oxide (AAO) template is popularly used for fabricating 1D nanomaterial. The direct-current anodization on high-purity (99.99% or more) Aluminum (Al) foil at a low temperature (0~10°C) was applied for the traditional AAO formation. In this communication, the low-purity Al (99%) was anodized at room temperature (25°C) by hybrid pulse voltage technique using oxalic acid as the ... Read more

Ternary organic solar cells (OSCs) have attracted the increasing interests as an effective method to improve photovoltaics performance. Moreover, ternary OSCs maintain sample fabrication technology as binary OSCs, which are of a great significance for the industry production. Here, firstly, we introduce the development history of ternary OSCs based on various systems. According to electron acceptors, ternary OSCs include two ... Read more

In this work, Cerium-based Coordination Polymer (CeCP) sub-microspheres were synthesized by using pyridine-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid as ligand via a facile microwave heating method. Multi-yolk-shell CeO2 spheres with diameter of ranging from 300 nm to 500 nm were successfully prepared by calcination of the CeCP sub-microspheres. The as-synthesized products were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, TG, etc. Results show that the band gap (... Read more
