Optothermal rotation of micro-/nano-objects in liquids
Hongru Ding, Zhihan Chen, Carolina Ponce +1
Controllable rotation of micro-/nano-objects provides tremendous opportunities for cellular biology, three-dimensional (3D) imaging, and micro/nanorobotics. Among different rotatio…
Ultra-fast Vapor Generation by a Graphene Nano-ratchet
Hongru Ding, Guilong Peng, Dengke Ma +2
Vapor generation is of prime importance for a broad range of applications: domestic water heating, desalination and wastewater treatment, etc. However, the slow and low efficiency…
Low-cost high-efficiency solar steam generation by wick material with graphite micro/nano particles
Guilong Peng, Hongru Ding, S. W. Sharshir +7
Generating water steam by solar energy is a significant process for many fields. In this paper, a low-cost high-efficiency wick type steam generator is proposed. It's based on the…
The unexpected thermal conductivity from graphene disk, carbon nanocone to carbon nanotube
Dengke Ma, Han Meng, Xiaoman Wang +2
Graphene and single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) have attracted great attention because of their ultra-high thermal conductivity. However, there are few works exploring the relatio…
