Interfacial Partitioning Enhances Microextractionby Multicomponent Nanodroplets
Zixiang Wei, Jae Bem You, Hongbo Zeng +1
The sensitive and reliable in-droplet chemical analysis benefits from the enhanced partition of an analyte into the droplets. This work, we will show that chemical reactions in sur…
Size Effect on Reaction Rate of Surface Nanodroplets
Zhengxin Li, Akihito Kiyama, Xuehua Zhang +1
Compartmentalizing reagents within small droplets is promising for highly efficient conversion and simplified procedures in many biphasic chemical reactions. In this work, surface…
Integrated nanoextraction and colorimetric reactions in surface nanodroplets for combinative analysis
Zixiang Wei, Miaosi Li, Hongbo Zeng +1
A combinative approach for chemical analysis makes it possible to distinguish a mixture of a large number of compounds from other mixtures in a single step. This work demonstrates…
Speeding up biphasic reactions with surface nanodroplets
Zhengxin Li, Akihito Kiyama, Hongbo Zeng +2
Biphasic chemical reactions compartmentalized in small droplets offer advantages, such as streamlined procedures for chemical analysis, enhanced chemical reaction efficiency and hi…
Spontaneous Repairing Liquid Metal/Si Nanocomposite as a Smart Conductive-Additive-Free Anode for Lithium-ion Battery
Bing Han, Yu Yang, Xiaobo Shi +7
Silicon is a promising candidate for negative electrodes due to its high theoretical specific capacity (~3579 mAh g-1) and low lithiation potential (~0.40 V vs Li). However, its pr…
