Laser Ablation in Liquid Research
Pulsed-laser ablation of metal targets submerged in water, used as a chemical-free route to make ZnO, tin-oxide, and ZnO@graphene-oxide core-shell nanoparticles.
Room Temperature Ethanol Sensor Based on ZnO Prepared via Laser Ablation in Water
ZnO nanospheres and nanorods made by chemical-free laser ablation in water both show clear room-temperature selectivity for ethanol, detectable down to 50 ppm.
Biodegradable Polymer Nanosheets Incorporated with Zn-Containing Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
Zn-loaded PLLA nanosheets release therapeutic zinc ions steadily over 10-12 hours and show antibacterial activity against E. coli, supporting their use as wound-healing patches.
ZnO@graphene oxide core@shell nanoparticles prepared via one-pot approach based on laser ablation in water
A one-pot, chemical-free laser-ablation route sequentially builds ZnO@graphene-oxide core-shell nanoparticles in water, with longer graphite ablation producing thicker GO shells.
Nanostructures Prepared via Laser Ablation of Tin in Water
Laser pulse duration controls the size and oxide-shell chemistry of tin nanoparticles made by ablating a tin target in water, with the resulting core-shell particles able to sense ethanol vapor.
