To monitor the aflatoxin contamination status in raw peanuts and evaluate the effect on
public health, 1040 samples were collected from four agro-ecological zones throughout 12 …

The hybrid nanostructures of nitrogen doped carbon materials and nonprecious transition
metals are among the most promising electrocatalysts to replace noble metal catalysts for …

Titanium nitride (TiN) thin films were prepared by direct current (DC) reactive magnetron
sputtering with a pure Ti target in a N 2 and Ar mixed atmosphere at 350 C on Si (100) …

Layered metal oxides have emerged as an up-and-comer in the family of two-dimensional
materials due to their natural abundance, intrinsic bandgap, and chemical inertness. Based …

Two-dimensional (2D) boron monolayers with diversity of structures and extraordinary physical
properties have been extensively investigated using first-principles calculations. A series …
