Defect Engineered Single-Layer MoS2 Dendrites as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Xu W., Li S., Pasta M., Warner J.H., University of Oxford, UK

Dendritic structures display a high density of edge sites, which are electrocatalytically active in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, given that the basal plane of 2H- phase MoS2 synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is [...]

Fabrication and Characterization of Carbon Nanotube/Graphene Hybrid Foam

Zhang M., Cui Y., Li S., Florida State University, US

CNT foam is a material with a porous structure constructed with nano-porous carbon, carbon nanotubes (CNTs). It is expected that CNT foam derives many of its functions from both its nanostructure and its microstructure and, [...]

Novel MEMS-Based Diffractive Spatial Light Modulator

Woo H., Li S., Cable A.J., Light Blue Optics, Inc., US

This research addresses the development of a unique pixellated diffractive phase spatial light modulator (SLM) that is monolithically integrated onto a CMOS backplane to enable extremely energy-efficient video projection systems suitable for consumer electronics and [...]

Using Ultra-long Nanotubes to Make Identical CNT FETs

Yu Z., Rutherglen C., Li S., Burke P.J., University of California Irvine, US

Centimeter scale aligned carbon nanotube arrays are grown from nanoparticle/metal catalyst pads. We find the nanotubes grow both with and “against the wind”. A metal underlayer provides in-situ electrical contact to these long nanotubes with [...]
