Agri-food safety incidents not only threaten the life and health of consumers but also
seriously hinder the development of the food supply chain. It is generally accepted that the …

Applications of Raman spectroscopy in bio-sensing and bio-detection were previously
limited due to its low sensitivity resulting from weak Raman scattering. Over time …

The aimlessness in the selection of dielectric absorbing materials and the regulation of
complex permittivity consumes time and resources. It is an effective way to construct …

In this study, zinc oxide-quercetin (ZnO-quercetin) nanocomposite was constructed as smart
nano-drug delivery system. The amount of quercetin loaded onto the ZnO nanoparticle was …

Ternary noble metal–semiconductor nanocomposites (NCs) with core–shell–satellite
nanostructures have received widespread attention due to their outstanding performance in …

In this study, 2D porous ZnFe 2 O 4 nanosheets (ZnFe 2 O 4 NSs) were fabricated for use as
sensing materials using a 3-stage process involving soaking, freeze-drying, and calcination …

An explosion in the production of substrates for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)
has occurred using novel designs of plasmonic nanostructures (eg, nanoparticle self …

In this paper, we are relating a significant improvement of the SERS effect achieved with
assembled Au/ZnO nano-urchins. This improvement is realized thanks to an excellent …

Since the initial discovery of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-
enhanced fluorescence (SEF), these techniques have shown huge potential for applications …

Thermal control coatings (TCCs) are an essential part of the thermal control systems in the
spacecraft. Solar absorptance and emittance are the key performance parameters of TCCs …
