Abstract
In this study, polymer-coated anisotropic inorganic nanowires dispersed in PBI matrix were introduced to construct 1D proton conducting channels within PBI. Ionic-liquid and solvothermal methods were used for the synthesis of ZrO2 and W18O49 NWs, which were coated with PVPA and PDDA polymers to increase their proton conductivity. Our results showed that, prepared membranes have amorphous nature due to the dominating presence of PBI. SEM analysis revealed the average thickness of membrane of about 36 µm. TG/DTA analysis detected lower weight loss of W18O49 NWs (total 2.8%) compared to ZrO2 NWs (18%). Proton conductivity analysis showed that, PDDA/W18O49 NWs possess relatively 4 times higher proton conductivity (4 × 10-4 Scm-1) compared to PDDA/ZrO2 NWs (1 × 10-4 Scm-1) at 80 ℃. In addition, PDDA-coated W18O49 NWs dispersed PBI membranes showed the highest fuel cell current density (1.2 A/cm2) and power density (215 mW/cm2) at 150 ℃ after 24 h which is nearly 2.5 times higher than pure PBI membrane. In addition, they exhibited the lowest in-situ proton resistance of about (0.47 Ω) compared with that of pure PBI membrane (0.8 Ω). Our results are introducing new concepts towards the development of thin and efficient polymer electrolyte membranes for PEM fuel cells.

Abstract
Anisotropic ZrO2 particles with octahedron-, diamond- and plate-like morphologies are successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal treatment approach using NaBF4 as mineralizer. The concentration of mineralizers play a crucial role on the formation of shape-controlled ZrO2 particles thus affect the particle size. With the increasing concentration of mineralizer, the crystalline sizes of the primary single-crystal and the secondary particle size both increase. With the introduction of NaBF4, F- plays an essential role in tuning the crystallinity and size of primary ZrO2 nanorods along [001] direction. The synergistic effect of F- and B3+ result in different epitaxial growth rate. And the secondary particles mainly crystallize on the small primary nanoparticles through the oriented attachment mechanism. The as-prepared ZrO2 particles with different sizes and shapes exhibit different photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of organic dyes. Under UV irradiation, the highest MB degradation rate of 88% was observed within 60 min for ZrO2 photocatalyst synthesized with 0.01 mol/L NaBF4 mineralizer.

Abstract
Pure cubic zirconia (ZrO2) nanopowder is prepared for the first time by simple low temperature solution combustion method without calcination. The product is characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infra Red spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The PXRD showed the formation of pure stable cubic ZrO2 nanopowders with average crystallite size ranging from 6 to 12 nm. The lattice parameters were calculated from Rietveld refinement method. SEM micrograph shows fluffy, mesoporous, agglomerated particles with large number of voids. TEM micrograph shows honey comb like arrangement of particles with particle size ∼10 nm. The PL emission spectrum excited at 210 nm and 240 nm consists of intense bands centered at ∼365 and ∼390 nm. Both the samples show shoulder peak at ∼420 nm, along with four weak emission bands at ∼484, ∼528, ∼614 and ∼726 nm. TL studies were carried out pre-irradiating samples with γ-rays ranging from 1 to 5 KGy at room temperature. A well resolved glow peak at 377 °C is recorded which can be ascribed to deep traps. With increase in γ radiation there is linear increase in TL intensity which shows the possible use of ZrO2 as dosimetric material.

Abstract
DNA strands have been used as templates for the self-assembly of smooth and conductive cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) nanowires of diameter 12-23 nm and whose length is determined by the template (16 μm for λ-DNA). A combination of spectroscopic, diffraction and probe microscopy techniques showed that these nanowires comprise single crystallites of Cu₂O bound to the DNA molecules which fused together over time in a process analogous to Ostwald ripening, but driven by the free energy of interaction with the template as well as the surface tension. Electrical characterization of the nanowires by a non-contact method, scanned conductance microscopy and by contact mode conductive AFM showed the wires are electrically conductive. The conductivity estimated from the AFM cross section and the zero-bias conductance in conductive AFM experiments was 2.2-3.3 S cm⁻¹. These Cu₂O nanowires are amongst the thinnest reported and show evidence of strong quantum confinement in electronic spectra.
