	abstract = {<p>Field emission from Al-doped ZnO nanostrcutures has been investigated in planar diode configuration under ultra high vacuum conditions. The Al-doped ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by co-precipitation method with varying aluminium concentrations. The as- synthesized product was characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. The threshold field required to draw a current density of similar to 1 mu A/cm(2) was observed to be similar to 2.0 V/mu m and similar to 2.3 V/mu m for Al-doped ZnO nanostructures synthesized with aluminium concentrations of 1\% and 3\%, respectively. The Fowler- Nordheim (F-N) plots for both the specimens exhibit non-linear behaviour, which is observed to be specimen dependent. The nonlinearity observed in the F-N plots has been interpreted on the basis of the theory of electron emission from semiconductor emitters. The field enhancement factors, estimated from the slope of the F-N plots, are found to be similar to 9.3 x 10(3) and 3.9 x 10(3) for 1\% and 3\% Al-doped ZnO emitters, respectively. The high values of the field enhancement factor Suggest that the emission is from the nanostructures. The emission current stability measured at the preset value of similar to 2 mu A over a period of more than three hours is found to be fairly stable. The results indicate use of Al-doped ZnO nanostructures as promising emitters for field emission based devices.</p>},

	abstract = {Considering the high energy density Lithium ion batteries have become one of the best option for next-generation energystorage technologies. Transition metal chalcogenide nanomaterials are promising electrodes for Lithium-ion batteries. Molybdenum based layered chalcogenide materials wisely studied for rechargeable Li-ion batteries, due to its two-dimensional (2D) layered structure and better specific capacity. The three-dimensional (3D) synthesis of microsphere by ultrathin nanosheets is necessary for practical applications. Herein, the fabrication of a unique hierarchical 2D layered Cu2S-MoS2 nanostructure was (ultrathin nanosheets) demonstrated via in situ assembling of two-dimensional (2D) growths in facile solvothermal technique. The structural study reveals the existence of Cubic Cu2S and Rhombohedral MoS2 phase. Morphological study by FESEM and TEM shows unique ultrathin nanosheets of similar to 10 nm thickness self-assembled in the form of layered microsphere. In Li- ion storage testing, Cu2S-MoS2 electrode exhibited good specific discharge capacity of 651 mAhg(-1) at 50 mAg(-1) applied current and maintained 320 mAhg(-1) after 100 cycles. The facilitated advanced electrochemical performance attributed to layered ultrathin Cu2S-MoS2 composite nanosheets.},
