Photochemical reactions, particularly those involving photoinduced electron transfer
processes, establish a substantial contribution to the modern synthetic chemistry, and the …

Nanodimensional metal sulfides are a develo** class of low-cost materials with potential
applications in areas as wide-ranging as energy storage, electrocatalysis, and imaging. An …

This review is focused on the mechanistic aspects and recent trends of the metal-catalyzed
azide-alkyne cycloaddition (MAAC) so-called “click” reactions with catalysts based on …

The mineral greigite presents similar surface structures to the active sites found in many
modern-day enzymes. We show that particles of greigite can reduce CO2 under ambient …

ZnS is among the superior photocatalysts for H2 evolution, whereas the wide bandgap
restricts its performance to only UV region. Herein, defect engineering and phase junction …

Synthesis of new, highly active antibacterial agents has become increasingly important in
light of emerging antibiotic resistance. In the present study, ZnO/graphene quantum dot …

Owing to better stability and biosafety, heterogeneous Cu nanoparticles (CuNPs) have been
put forward as a promising candidate to complete the Cu (I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne …

The sensing and differentiation of explosive molecules is key for both security and
environmental monitoring. Single fluorophores are a widely used tool for explosives …

High quality CdS/ZnS: Cu quantum dots (QDs) were first synthesized via a green microwave
irradiation route. As-prepared core/shell doped QDs presented a strong absorption in the …

Carbon dots (CDs), owing to their zero-dimensional structure and outstanding
physicochemical features, can be used as a support to metals, metal oxides, to form …
