In this work, the density functional theory is used to understand the interaction between nitrogen-doped graphene and Pd@PdO clusters. Experiments show that small size Pd@PdO clusters (1-2 nm) can be grown uniformly on nitrogen-doped graphene sheets by a facile oxidation-reduction method. The nanoscale interaction relationship between nitrogen-doped graphene and Pd@PdO clusters is investigated through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS). The composite catalysts are applied in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions giving high yields and good structural stability. These results have potential impact in design and optimization of future high performance catalyst materials for cross coupling reactions.展开更多

The as-prepared CuInS2 nanocrystals have been characterized by instrumental analyses such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)/high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The particle sizes of the CuInS2 nanocrystals could be tuned from 2 to 10 nm by simply varying reaction conditions. Oleylamine, which acted as both a reductant and an effective capping agent, plays an important role in the size-controlled synthesis of CulnS2 nanocrystals. Based on a series of comparative experiments under different reaction conditions, the probable formation mechanism of CulnS2 nanocrystals has been proposed. Furthermore, the UV-vis absorption and PL emission spectra of the chalcopyrite CulnS2 nanocrystals have been found to be adjustable in the range of 527-815 nm and 625-800 rim, respectively, indicating their potential application in photovoltaic devices.展开更多
