Hollow core-shell structured mesoporous MWCNT/carbon nanofiber composites by electrospinning and silica template as counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells

Park S.H., Kim B-K., Lee W.-J., Chonnam National University, KR

The multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT)-embedded carbon nanofibers with hollow core/highly mesoporous shell stucture (CNT/Meso-HACNF) are prepared by concentric electrospinning using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a pyrolytic core precursor with either CNT/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or fumed silica [...]

Novel Supramolecules Based on Architecturally Variant alpha-Cyclodextrin Polyrotaxanes and Nanorod-Like alpha-Cyclodextrin Self-Assembly

Chung J.W., Yu B.-Y., Kwak S-Y, Seoul National University, KR

Self-assembly (SA-ICs) of architecturally variant alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) inclusion complexes (ICs) formed by host-guest reaction with four polymeric guest having different molecular architectures (star-shaped, hyperbranched, diblocked, and linear polymer) and nanorod-like self-assembly (SA-CD) of alpha-CD could [...]
