TL;DR: The synthesis of in situ polymer‐functionalized anatase TiO2 particles using an anchoring block copolymer with hydroxamate as coordinating species is reported, which yields nanoparticles (≈11 nm) in multigram scale.

TL;DR: Laboratory and field tests with paint formulations containing 2 wt% of CeO2-x nanorods show a reduction in biofouling comparable to Cu2 O, the most typical biocidal pigment.

TL;DR: The thermoelectric transport properties of the compound Cu7PSe6 are presented as the first representative of the class of argyrodite-type ion conducting thermoeLECTrics, with a huge variety of possible compositions and high ionic conductivity even at room temperature.

TL;DR: The silica-coated Au@MnO@SiO2 Janus particles were revealed to be highly two-photon active; no indication for an electronic interaction between the dye molecules incorporated in the silica shell surrounding the MnO domains and the attached Au domains was found; fluorescence quenching was observed when dye molecules were bound directly to the Au domains.

TL;DR: Nano-sized impurities formed via phase segregation at higher dopant contents have been identified and are located at the grain boundaries of the material, which lead to enhanced phonon scattering, a significant reduction in lattice thermal conductivity, and therefore an increase in the thermoelectric figure of merit in these materials.
