Metallized Sol–Gel coatings on ceramic glazes with photocatalytic activity by Guillermo Monrós, Carolina Delgado, José Antonio Badenes, Guillem Monrós-Andreu, Mario Llusar

“…The microstructure of the layers, studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), shows that the heterogeneous nucleation of oxides from the inks supposes the formation of many nanocrystals that form clusters, also of nanometric size, growing parallel to each other and normal to the surface, following a film–glaze interaction model of nucleation, growth, and dissolution. …”

Cu66 nanoclusters from hierarchical square motifs: Synthesis, assembly, and catalysis by Xueli Sun, Yuchen Wang, Qingyuan Wu, Ying‐Zi Han, Xuekun Gong, Xiongkai Tang, Christine M. Aikens, Hui Shen, Nanfeng Zheng

“…The self‐assembly facilitated by the C‐H···F interaction between the cluster moieties and SbF6− anions further induces the formation of three‐dimensional cubes and eventually large nanocrystals. Density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations reveal that hydride atoms with low chemical shifts typically exhibit short Cu‐H distances. …”

Investigation of structure, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity of LixCo(1-x)O2: Validation using a nanoquantum model by Obaidallah A. Algethami

“…It has been shown that reducing the lithium concentration results in greater dislocation density, internal stress, strain, and smaller nanocrystal size. Electrical measurements exhibit semiconducting behavior, with increasing conductivity as a function of temperature and lithium concentration. …”
