In-situ combustion has received much attention in the last few decades for enhanced heavy
oil recovery processes. Although a wide part of research efforts has only focused on the …

Shape-and phase-controlled ZnSe nanocrystals are synthesized in hot mixtures of long-
chain alkylamines and alkylphosphines. The variation in the rate of precursor addition, down …

Using microporous zeolites as host, sub-nanometric ZnO clusters were prepared in the
micropores of the host by the incipient wetness impregnation method. A small amount of sub …

We review the growing role of computational techniques in modelling the structures and
properties of nano-particulate oxides and sulphides. We describe the main methods …

This paper reports an ultrasound-driven approach in the synthesis of CdSe and CdSe
sensitized TiO2 and also the their photocataltyic behavior of these materials under visible …

We present new interatomic potentials with which to model the structures and stabilities of
the zinc-blende (ZB) and wurtzite (W) polytypes of ZnS and CdS. The potentials are able to …

In recent years, protection of the environment from activities associated with enhanced oil
recovery has been considered a crucial priority for decision-makers in the international …

We report the stable and low energy metastable structures of zinc oxide clusters,(ZnO) n, n=
1− 32, found using an evolutionary algorithm with polarizable shell interatomic potentials …

Abstract Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) have attracted significant attention and
applications in the field of biosensors, particularly for early detection of cervical cancer, due …

We report about the synthesis of II− VI semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) that grow in
discrete steps. CdS, CdTe, ZnSe, and ZnO NCs were synthesized in analogy to a method we …
