Fabrication of Cu_2O@Cu_2O core-shell nanoparticles and conversion to Cu_2O@Cu core-shell nanoparticles in solution

Cu2O@Cu2O core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by using solution phase strategy. It was found that Cu2O@Cu2O NPs were easily converted to Cu2O@Cu NPs with the help of polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP) and excessive ascorbic acid (AA) in air at room temperature, which was an interesting phenomenon. The features of the two kinds of NPs were characterized by XRD, TEM and extinction spectra. Cu2O@Cu NPs with different shell thicknesses showed wide tunable optical properties for the localized surface plasmon (LSP) in metallic Cu. But Cu2O@Cu2O NPs did not indicate this feature. FTIR results reveal that Cu+ ions on the surface of Cu2O shell coordinate with N and O atoms in PVP and are further reduced to metallic Cu by excessive AA and then form a nucleation site on the surface of Cu2O nanocrystalline. PVP binds onto different sites to proceed with the reduction utill all the Cu sources in Cu2O shell are completely assumed.

Microstructure and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Very Small Size GaAs Nanogranulae Embedded in SiO_2 Matrix by Magnetron Co-Sputtering

Microstructure of GaAs/SiO 2 nanogranular thin films fabricated by radio frequency magnetron co sputtering technique and postannealing are investigated via atomic force microscope,X ray diffraction,and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy.The results show that GaAs nanocrystals with average diameters from 1 5nm to 3 2nm (depending on the annealing temperature) are uniformly dispersed in the SiO 2 matrices.GaAs and SiO 2 are found in normal stoichiometry in the films.The nonlinear optical refraction and nonlinear optical absorption are studied by Z scan technique using a single Gaussian beam of pulse laser.The third order nonlinear optical refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient are enhanced due to the quantum confinement effects and estimated to be 4×10 -12 m 2/W and 2×10 -5 m/W respectively in nonresonant condition,while 2×10 -11 m 2/W and -1×10 -4 m/W respectively in quasi resonant condition.

High Performance Ultraviolet Photodetector Fabricated with ZnO Nanoparticles-graphene Hybrid Structures

Ultraviolet （UV） photodetector constructed by ZnO material has attracted intense research and commercial interest. However, its photoresistivity and photoresonse are still unsatisfied. Herein, we report a novel method to assemble ZnO nanoparticles （NPs） onto the reduced graphite oxide （RGO） sheet by simple hydrothermal process without any surfactant. It is found that the high-quality crystallized ZnO NPs with the average diameter of 5 nm are well dispersed on the RGO surface, and the density of ZnO NPs can be readily controlled by the concentration of the precursor. The photodetector fabricated with this ZnO NPs- RGO hybrid structure demonstrates an excellent photoresponse for the UV irradiation. The results make this hybrid especially suitable as a novel material for the design and fabrication of high performance UV photodector.

Melting Behaviour of Shell-symmetric Aluminum Nanoparticles： Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Molecular dynamics simulations with embedded atom method potential were carried out for A1 nanoparticles of 561 atoms in three structures： icosahedron, decahedron, and truncated octahedron. The total potential energy and specific heat capacity were calculated to estimate the melting temperatures. The melting point is 540＋10 K for the icosahedral structure, 500±10 K for the decahedral structure, and 520±10 K for the truncated octahedral structure. With the results of mean square displacement, the bond order parameters and radius of gyration are consistent with the variation of total potential energy and specific heat capacity. The relaxation time and stretching parameters in the Kohlraush-William-Watts relaxation law were obtained by fitting the mean square displacement. The results show that the relationship between the relaxation time and the temperatures is in agreement with standard Arrhenius relation in the high temperature range.

Tailoring the surface structures of iron oxide nanorods to support Au nanoparticles for CO oxidation

Iron oxide supported Au nanomaterials are one of the most studied catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation.Catalytic performance not only critically depends on the size of the supported Au nanoparticles(NPs)but also strongly on the chemical nature of the iron oxide.In this study,Au NPs supported on iron oxide nanorods with different surface properties throughβ-FeOOH annealing,at varying temperatures,were synthesized,and applied in the CO oxidation.Detailed characterizations of the interactions between Au NPs and iron oxides were obtained by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The results indicate that the surface hydroxyl group on the Au/FeOOH catalyst,before calcination(Au/FeOOH-fresh),could facilitate the oxygen adsorption and dissociation on positively charged Au,thereby contributing to the low-temperature CO oxidation reactivity.After calcination at 200℃,under air exposure,the chemical state of the supported Au NP on varied iron oxides partly changed from metal cation to Au0,along with the disappearance of the surface OH species.Au/FeOOH with the highest Au0 content exhibits the highest activity in CO oxidation,among the as-synthesized catalysts.Furthermore,good durability in CO oxidation was achieved over the Au/FeOOH catalyst for 12 h without observable deactivation.In addition,the advanced identical-location TEM method was applied to the gas phase reaction to probe the structure evolution of the Au/iron oxide series of the catalysts and support structure.A Au NP size-dependent Ostwald ripening process mediated by the transport of Au(CO)x mobile species under certain reaction conditions is proposed,which offers a new insight into the validity of the structure-performance relationship.

Electronic and geometric structure of the copper-ceria interface on Cu/CeO2 catalysts

The atomic structure of the active sites in Cu/CeO2 catalysts is intimately associated with the copper-ceria interaction. Both the shape of ceria and the loading of copper affect the chemical bonding of copper species on ceria surfaces and the electronic and geometric character of the relevant interfaces. Nanostructured ceria, including particles(polyhedra), rods, and cubes, provides anchoring sites for the copper species. The atomic arrangements and chemical properties of the(111),(110) and(100) facets, preferentially exposed depending on the shape of ceria, govern the copper-ceria interactions and in turn determine their catalytic properties. Also, the metal loading significantly influences the dispersion of copper species on ceria with a specific shape, forming copper layers, clusters, and nanoparticles. Lower copper contents result in copper monolayers and/or bilayers while higher copper loadings lead to multi-layered clusters and faceted particles. The active sites are usually generated via interactions between the copper atoms in the metal species and the oxygen vacancies on ceria, which is closely linked to the number and density of surface oxygen vacancies dominated by the shape of ceria.

Microstructure and properties of Al-doped ODS steels prepared by wet-milling and SPS methods

In this paper,15Cr-ODS steels containing 0,1 wt%,2 wt%and 3 wt%Al element were fabricated by combining wet-milling and spark plasma sintering(SPS)methods.The microstructure and mechanical properties of ODS steel were investigated by XRD,SEM,TEM,EBSD and tensile tests.The results demonstrate that the Al addition significantly refines the particle precipitates in the Fe-Cr matrix,leading to the obvious refinement in grain size of matrix and the improvement of mechanical properties.The dispersion particles in ODS steels with Al addition are identified as Al2O3 and Y_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7)nanoparticles,which has a heterogeneous size distribution in the range of 5 nm to 300 nm.Increasing Al addition causes an obvious increase in tensile strength and a decline in elongation.The tensile strength and elongation of 15Cr-ODS steel containing 3 wt%Al are 775.3 MPa and 15.1%,respectively.The existence of Al element improves the corrosion resistance of materials.The ODS steel containing 2 wt%Al shows corrosion potential of 0.39 V and passivation current density of 2.61×10^(−3)A/cm^(2)(1.37 V).This work shows that Al-doped ODS steels prepared by wet-milling and SPS methods have a potential application in structural parts for nuclear system.

Fabrication and catalytic behavior of hierarchically-structured nylon 6 nanofiber membrane decorated with silver nanoparticles

A hierarchically‐structured nylon 6 (PA6) nanofiber membrane decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was fabricated by electrospinning and impregnation methods. The as‐fabricated hierarchically‐structured Ag/PA6 nanofiber membrane (HS‐Ag/PA6 NM) exhibits a morphology in which Ag NPs are deposited on the surfaces of both thick fibers and thin fibers. The content and size of theAg NPs can be controlled by varying the concentration of the silver colloid solution. Compared with the non‐hierarchically‐structured Ag/PA6 nanofiber membrane, HS‐Ag/PA6 NM has a higher specificsurface area and exhibits a higher degradation rate for methylene blue of 81.8%–98.1% within2 h. HS‐Ag/PA6 NM can be easily recycled and exhibits good reusability. It retains a degradation rate for methylene blue of 83.5% after five consecutive cycles. The hierarchically‐structured nanofiber membrane is therefore a potential nanocatalyst.

Synthesis of Ni-Zn ferrite and its microstructure and magnetic properties

Nanometer Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 powders with spinel phase were prepared by the hydrothermal method using purified FeSO4 solution from sodium jarosite＇s slag as materials. The results show that the spinel phase of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 powders begins to form at a relatively low temperature （130 ℃） and a shorter holding time （1 h） when pH=8. The crystallization kinetics equation at 200℃ is ln[-ln（1-x）] =-0.78＋0.951n t. The growth activation energy of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 grains is 41.6 kJ/moL in hydrothermal synthesis process. With the increase of sintering temperature, the density and diameter shrinkage of ferrite circulus increase, whereas its pores decrease. The results of magnetic measurements show that saturation magnetic flux density Bs increases and the coercivity Hc decreases with the increase of their sintering temperature. Magnetic parameters of all the investigated samples satisfy the character demand of high Bs, low Br and low Hc of soft magnetic ferrite materials.

Preparation of nano-structured Ag solid materials and application to surface-enhanced Raman scattering

Silver nano-particles with average diameter of about 60 nm were compacted in a high-strength mold under different pressures at 523 K to produce nano-structured Ag solid materials. The structure and characteristic of the nano-structured Ag solid materials (NSS-Ag) were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Raman spectrometer. The NSS-Ag could be used as highly efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrates. The common probe molecules Rhodamine 6G (R6G, 1×10-10 mol/L) were used to test the SERS activity on these substrates at very low concentrations. It is found that the SERS enhancement ability is dependent on the density of NSS-Ag. When the relative density of NSS-Ag is 83.87%, the materials reveal great SERS signal.

EBSD characterization of Al7075/graphene nanoplates/carbon nanotubes composites processed through post-deformation annealing

The effects of the post-deformation annealing on the microstructural evolution of hot rolled Al7075 matrix composites reinforced with CNTs and GNPs were investigated.The multi-pass hot rolling was applied on the stir cast samples.Annealing was then applied to the composites at 450℃ for 4 h.Microstructural evolution was examined by SEM,EDS,and EBSD techniques.EBSD data showed that the addition of 0.87 vol.%(GNPs+CNTs)significantly inhibited the occurrence of recrystallization.Also,in the composite with 0.96 vol.%CNTs,recrystallization was partially inhibited.Whereas,in composites with 0.92 vol.%of GNPs,the occurrence of recrystallization through particle stimulated nucleation(PSN)mechanism was significantly accelerated.The volume fraction of recrystallized grains depends significantly on the occurrence of PSN in the presence of reinforcements.The intensity and type of the main components of the texture as well as the FCC fibers depend on the type of reinforcement.

Dependence of Optical Absorption in Silicon Nanostructures on Size of Silicon Nanoparticles

The amorphous silicon nanoparticles （Si NPs） embedded in silicon nitride （SiNx） films prepared by helicon wave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition （HWP-CVD） technique are studied. From Raman scattering investigation, we determine that the deposited film has the structure of silicon nanocrystals embedded in silicon nitride （nc-Si/SiNx） thin film at a certain hydrogen dilution amount. The analysis of optical absorption spectra implies that the Si NPs is affected by quantum size effects and has the nature of an indirect-band-gap semiconductor. Further, considering the effects of the mean Si NP size and their dispersion on oscillator strength, and quantum-confinement, we obtain an analytical expression for the spectral absorbance of ensemble samples. Gaussian as well as lognormal size-distributions of the Si NPs are considered for optical absorption coefficient calculations. The influence of the particle size-distribution on the optical absorption spectra was systematically studied. We present the fitting of the optical absorption experimental data with our model and discuss the results.

Fabrication of Monodisperse ＂Core-Satellite＂ Nanostructures by DNA-Programming： a Novel Class of Superstructured Building Blocks for Hierarchical Nanoassembly

Monodisperse nanoparticle assembly with tunable structure, composition and properties can be taken as a superstructured building block for the construction of hierarchical nanostruc tures from the bottom up, which also represents a great challenge in nanotechnology. Here we report on a facile and controllable method that enables a high yield fabricatioa of uniform gold nanoparticle （AuNP） coresatellites with definable number （in average） of the satellite particles and tunable coretosatellite distance. The formation of the coresatellite nanostruc tures is driven by programmable DNAbasepairing, with the resulting nanocomplexes being isolatable via gel electrophoresis. By rationally controlling the DNA coverages on the core and shell particles, high production yields are achieved for the assembly/isolation process. As well, benefiting from a minimum DNA coverage on the satellite AuNPs, a strong affinity is observed for the asprepared coresatellites to get adsorbed on proteincoated graphene ox ide, which allows for a twodimensional hierarchical assembly of the coresatellite structures. The resulting hierarchical nanoassemblies are expected to find applications in various areas, including plasmonics, biosensing, and nanocatalysis. The method should be generalizable to make even more complicated and higherorder structures by making use of the structural programmability of DNA molecules.

Self-assembled flower-like microstructure in Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO nanoparticles

The structural and optical characterization of cadmium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized by precipitation method was studied.X-ray diffraction study confirmed the substitution of cadmium dopant without disturbing the basic wurtzite structure of zinc oxide.The average crystalline size,lattice constants and unit cell volume also increased up to4%of cadmium doping.Energy gaps of the samples were determined from the ultraviolet?visible absorption spectrum as well as Tauc’s plot which infers that the energy gap decreases with the increase of cadmium content.Fourier transformation infrared spectrum confirms the cadmium dopant through peak shifting from485to563cm?1.Photoluminescence spectrum also defines the cadmium dopant by intensity increase.The broad Raman peak at437cm?1indicates that the wurtzite structure of zinc oxide is weakened by5%cadmium doping.Field emission scanning electron microscope study also confirms the existence of particles in nanometer size and it indentifies the microstructure transformation from nanoparticles to jasmine flower-like structure on5%cadmium doping.

Microstructure and abrasive wear behaviour of anodizing composite films containing Si C nanoparticles on Ti6Al4V alloy

Anodized composite films containing Si C nanoparticles were synthesized on Ti6Al4 V alloy by anodic oxidation procedure in C4O6H4Na2 electrolyte. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were employed to characterize the morphology and composition of the films fabricated in the electrolytes with and without addition of Si C nanoparticles. Results show that Si C particles can be successfully incorporated into the oxide film during the anodizing process and preferentially concentrate within internal cavities and micro-cracks. The ball-on-disk sliding tests indicate that Si C-containing oxide films register much lower wear rate than the oxide films without Si C under dry sliding condition. Si C particles are likely to melt and then are oxidized by frictional heat during sliding tests. Potentiodynamic polarization behavior reveals that the anodized alloy with Si C nanoparticles results in a reduction in passive current density to about 1.54×10-8 A/cm2, which is more than two times lower than that of the Ti O2 film(3.73×10-8 A/cm2). The synthesized composite film has good anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties and the growth mechanism of nanocomposite film is also discussed.
