Solution-based 'bottom-up' synthesis of group VI transition metal dichalcogenides and their applications
(2021)Research interest in the area of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanostructures has significantly increased in recent years. This interest is driven by their exceptional properties (e.g. semiconductor state, ... -
Amino-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle-Encapsulated Octahedral Organoruthenium Complex as an Efficient Platform for Combatting Cancer
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020)In the process of synthesis of a new drug, as important as the drug itself is the formulation used, because the same compound can present a very different efficacy depending on how it is administered. In this work, we ... -
Real-world natural passivation phenomena can limit microplastic generation in water
