Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed from metal ions and carboxylate chains, have emerged as a class of highly porous materials with tunable properties. Nickel, owing to its {redox versatility, has proven to be a popular element for MOF synthesis. This review comprehensively analyzes the recent advances in nickel-based MOF synthesis, encomp
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess exceptional mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, making them ideal for a wide array of cutting-edge applications. These tiny cylindrical structures exhibit remarkable tensile properties, exceeding that of steel by orders of magnitude. Moreover, CNTs demonstrate excellent thermal transfer, enabling efficie
Lead selenide semiconductor dots (QDs) are a type of II-VI compound that exhibit exceptional optical and electronic properties. Their synthesis typically involves hot injection methods, allowing for precise control over size and shape. The unique size-dependent nature of these QDs leads to a strong dependence of their band gap on diameter, resultin
