The hydrothermal synthesis of Ba_1−xCo_xTiO₃ (BCT) ceramic nanocrystals across varied substitution fractions (x = 0, …, 1) is the subject of this study. Hydrothermal synthesis is well known for producing high-purity and well-crystallized n...

Composite materials such as molybdenum carbides, nitrides, oxides, and mixed anionic compounds like Mo(C,N,O)_x embedded in carbonaceous matrix exhibit promising potential as anode materials for lithium batteries, with a preference for fine-grained mo...

This study explores the feasibility of using Cu/AZO thin films as low-emissivity materials with antibacterial properties, fabricated using the linear sputtering method. The linear sputtering technique deposits thin films onto continuous substrates, o...

Spinel-type InGaMgO₄ with a = 8.56615(3) Å was prepared by treating layered YbFe₂O₄-type InGaMgO₄ at 6 GPa and 1473 K. DFT calculation and Rietveld analysis of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data revealed the inverse spinel structure with...

The atomistic structure and point-defect thermodynamics of the model $\Sigma 5\left(310\right)\left[001\right]$ grain boundary in CeO₂ were explored with atomistic simulations. An interface with a double-diamond-shaped structural repeat unit was found to have the lowest ene...

Akimotoite, ilmenite-type MgSiO₃ high-pressure polymorph can be stable in the lower-mantle transition zone along average mantle and subducting slab geotherms. Significant amounts of Al₂O₃ can be incorporated into the structure, having the pyrope (Mg₃...

Governments worldwide are actively committed to achieving their carbon emission reduction targets, and one avenue under exploration is harnessing the potential of hydrogen. Blending hydrogen with natural gas is emerging as a promising strategy to red...

The atomic structures of Zn and Na borophosphate glasses were studied using X-ray and neutron scattering techniques. Peaks assigned to the B−O, P−O, and O−O distances confirm that only BO₄ units co-exist with the PO₄ tetrahedra. The...

Solid-state drug delivery systems for the drug substances transport are of great importance nowadays. In the present work, the non-covalent interactions between taxifolin (Tax) and graphene as well as nitrogenated (N-doped) graphenes were systematica...
