Abstract: This work focuses on the synthesis of silicon and tin sulfide nanowires using floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD). Suspended in the gas phase, one-dimensional inorganic nanoparticles, such as nanotubes and nanowires, rapidly grow to hundreds of microns within
Abstract: Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) represent a unique class of crystalline, porous materials with highly tunable structures. In recent years, COFs have gained significant attention due to their potential in environmental remediation and clean energy production, particularly in photocatalysis, where
Abstract: Elevated mortality in liver transplantation-waiting list, clinical complications and scarcity of paediatric liver-donors warrant alternatives to liver transplant for treating paediatric-chronic liver diseases (CLD). Liver’s unique intrinsic capacity to regenerate damaged tissue constitutes a potential approach. However, CLD hinders
