Core-shell nanostructures with platinum overlayers conformally coating palladium nano-substrate cores and facile solution-based methods for the preparation of such core-shell nanostructures are described herein. The obtained Pd@Pt core-shell nanocatalysts showed enhanced specific and mass activities towards oxygen reduction, compared to a commercial Pt/C catalyst.

A wavelength conversion device of the present disclosure includes a substrate, a phosphor layer that has a matrix containing zinc oxide and phosphor particles embedded in the matrix and that is supported by the substrate, a dielectric layer disposed between the substrate and the phosphor layer, and a protective layer that is disposed between the phosphor layer and the dielectric layer and that has an isoelectric point equal to or larger than 7. A main surface of the substrate includes, for example, first and second regions. The phosphor layer covers, for example, only the first region out of the first and second regions.

The invention relates to nano-particles comprising metallic ferromagnetic nanocrystals combined with either amorphous or graphitic carbon in which or on which chemical groups are present that can dissociate in aqueous solutions. According to the invention there is provided nano-particles comprising metal particles of at least one ferromagnetic metal, which metal particles are at least in part encapsulated by graphitic carbon. The nano-particles of the invention are prepared by impregnating carbon containing bodies with an aqueous solution of at least one ferromagnetic metal precursor, drying the impregnated bodies, followed by heating the impregnated bodies in an inert and substantially oxygen-free atmosphere, thereby reducing the metal compounds to the corresponding metal or metal alloy.

An object of the present invention is to provide a core shell particle having high luminous efficacy and excellent durability; a method of producing the same; and a film obtained by using the core shell particle. The core shell particle of the present invention includes: a core which contains a Group III element and a Group V element; a first shell which covers at least a part of a surface of the core; and a second shell which covers at least a part of the first shell, in which at least a part of a surface of the core shell particle contains a metal-containing organic compound containing a metal element and a hydrocarbon group.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques related to techniques for processing materials for manufacture of group-III metal nitride and gallium based substrates. More specifically, embodiments of the disclosure include techniques for growing large area substrates using a combination of processing techniques. Merely by way of example, the disclosure can be applied to growing crystals of GaN, AlN, InN, InGaN, AlGaN, and AlInGaN, and others for manufacture of bulk or patterned substrates. Such bulk or patterned substrates can be used for a variety of applications including optoelectronic and electronic devices, lasers, light emitting diodes, solar cells, photo electrochemical water splitting and hydrogen generation, photodetectors, integrated circuits, and transistors, and others.

Hydrothermal methods for the synthesis of bulk crystals of alkaline earth metal stannates are described. Methods can be utilized for growth of large, single crystals of alkaline earth metal stannates including fully cubic BaSnO.sub.3 and SrSnO.sub.3.

Methods for forming samples of noble metal bipyramid nanocrystals having very low size and shape polydispersities from samples of mixed noble metal nanocrystals are provided. The samples include those comprising high purity, substantially monodisperse, plasmonic gold bipyramid nanocrystals. Also provided are methods of growing secondary twinned metal nanocrystals using the noble metal bipyramid nanocrystals as seed particles. Like the seed bipyramid nanocrystals from which they are grown, the secondary nanocrystals are twinned nanocrystals and may also be characterized by very low size and shape polydispersities. Secondary twinned nanocrystals grown by these methods include enlarged metal bipyramid nanocrystals and nanocrystals with anisotropic “dumbbell” shapes having a variety of tip geometries. Methods for using noble metal bipyramid nanocrystals as plasmonic heaters to heat reaction solutions via plasmonic-photothermal radiation-to-heat conversion are also provided.
