The hierarchical CuO and the Au nanoparticles samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscope, respectively. The as-synthesized CuO was assembled regularly from the nanosheets with thickness of 100 nm. The size of Au nanoparticles ranged from 50 to 200 nm. The hierarchical CuO gas sensors modified by different concentration of gold were fabricated. All the Au-loaded CuO gas sensors enhanced the response to ethanol and xylene while reducing the response to methanol, acetone, and formaldehyde. The results indicate that the Au nanoparticles prepared with PVP as surfactant can improve the selectivity of CuO gas sensors to ethanol gas for other common organic volatile gases. The improvement of gas sensing is mainly attributed to the different catalytic efficiency of the Au nanoparticles for different reactions. Meanwhile, the related mechanisms are discussed.展开更多

This approach does not involve solvents yet uses the precursor itself as suspend- ing medium, thus features mild and green chemistry, and also enables the formation of uniform-sized carbon clus- ters, of which the diameter can be easily tuned from 0.7 to 3.5 nm via control of reaction time. In term of the di- mension, the resultants are denoted as sub-nano carbon clusters (SNCs) and carbon dots (CDs), respectively. Bene- fiting from surface anchored PEG segments, both of the two show favorable flowability at room temperature and excellent solubility in aqueous and organic solvents. Comparison of their optical performances and structures re- veals that they share the same chromophores. Particularly, the SNCs demonstrate robust photo- and pH-stable pho- toluminescence and can be directly applied to cell-imaging regarding to its prominent biocompatibility. Moreover, its quantum yield (5.5%), which is approximately 3 times higher than that of CDs (1.5%), can be dramatically en- hanced to 18.8% by facile chemical reduction. We anticipate that these PEG derivatives marked with easy synthesis, controllable optical performances and excellent physical properties will be highly appealing in future applications.展开更多
