Multifunctional AgNPs@Chitosan-g-C3N4-OH Nanocomposite: Efficient Catalytic Reduction of Nitro Pollutants, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Applications

Abstract A ternary nanocomposite comprising silver nanoparticles anchored on glutaraldehyde-cross-linked chitosan supported on hydroxyl-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (AgNPs@CS-g-C3N4-OH) was synthesized via in situ reduction of silver in a stepwise method. Structural an...

Photo‐Induced Electrochromism: Toward a Self‐Coloring Smart Window

ABSTRACT Smart windows that dynamically regulate solar radiation are crucial for reducing building energy consumption. Electrochromic (EC) smart windows offer high‐performance optical modulation but require an external power supply, whereas photochromic (PC) smart windows are sel...

Ultra-StableHybrid Supercapacitor Enabled by α-MoO3/GrapheneNanohybrids: From Scalable Synthesis to Real-WorldApplications

Abstract The increasing demand for efficient and sustainable energy storage has accelerated research into supercapacitors (SCs), which provide high power density and a long cycle life. However, their poor performance remains a major drawback. The layered structure and rich redox...
