TL;DR: A facile, hydrothermal method was developed for the first time to grow oriented, single-crystalline rutile TiO(2) nanorod films on transparent conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates.

TL;DR: The simple mesoscopic CH(3)NH( 3)PbI(3)/TiO(2) heterojunction solar cell shows impressive photovoltaic performance, with short-circuit photocurrent J(sc)= 16.1 mA/cm(2), open-circuits photovvoltage V(oc) = 0.631 V, and a fill factor FF =0.57.

TL;DR: The simple design and fluorescenceturn-on feature of the molecular AIE bioprobes offer direct visualization of specific analytes and biological processes in aqueous media with higher sensitivity and better accuracy than traditional fluorescence turn-off probes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the atomically dispersed nickel on nitrogenated graphene was identified as an efficient and durable electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction based on operando X-ray absorption and photo-electron spectroscopy measurements, and the monovalent Ni(i) atomic center with a d9 electronic configuration is identified as the catalytically active site.

TL;DR: A novel wet-chemical approach at 180 degrees C for the synthesis of monodispersed ZnO nanorods with high single-crystallinity with exceptionally high aspect ratio is reported, which should promise a future large-scale synthesis of ZNO nanostructures for many important applications in nanotechnology in a controlled manner.
