Al nanoparticles (ANPs) have high reactivity and can improve the system's combustion performance. However, ANPs are susceptible to inactivation by external oxidants. Here, we use ethanol and ether molecules to coat ANPs and then compare and discuss the combustion process between coated ANPs and bare ANPs. Our results show that the ethanol/ether coating can adsorb more HO molecules and increase the active Al atom number and the Al core area in the ignition stage. The combustion phase can be divided into four stages according to the rate of the combustion temperature. The ethanol/ether coating can enable ANPs to deliver a better combustion performance, reducing the ignition delay time of particles, greatly increasing the combustion temperature, and making the whole system enter the gas phase combustion stage. These will enable the ethanol/ether-ANPs systems to release more energy and improve the combustion efficiency of the system.

The synergistic effect of various ions with optical properties is an important method to regulate the Er ion upconversion luminescence process. However, the energy processes between them are complicated and difficult to separate, and it is challenging to clarify the results of each process when multiple ions are co-doped. Herein, a series of NaYF:Er were synthesized by the low-temperature combustion method, and the luminescence color of Er ions was modulated by doping Yb ions and Tm ions.

Excessive fossil fuel combustion has accelerated renewable energy development, with hydrogen energy emerging as a promising alternative due to its high energy density and environmental compatibility. Photocatalytic hydrogen production through solar energy conversion represents a viable approach for sustainable development. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant research interest owing to their structural tunability, well-defined catalytic sites, and post-synthetic modification capabilities.

Background: Fine particulate matter (PM) has been previously linked to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). PM is a mixture of components, each of which has its own toxicity profile which are not yet well understood. This study explores the relationship between long-term exposure to PM components and hospital admissions with CVDs in the Medicare population.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with poor prognosis and chemoresistance. Nano-bioconjugates, due to their enhanced surface-to-volume ratio, offer significant potential in cancer therapy. In this study, we synthesized ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using solution combustion method and exhibited a particle size range of 20-70 nm as confirmed by TEM analysis.
