钾锰氧化物：电化学控制合成及其电容器性质

Potassium manganese oxides were prepared by cathodic deposition from aqueous KMnO4 solution on an indium tin oxide slide. The products were characterized by XRD, XPS and SEM techniques. The as-prepared products were potassium manganese oxides with different manganese valence states. The component, morphology and size of the products could be controlled through adjusting the preparation parameters such as deposition potential, deposition time and acidity of the electrolyte. The results show that the deposition of potassium manganese oxide from aqueous KMnO4 is a pH value dependent procedure. Due to the facilitating of intercalation and deintercalation of cations, the specific capacitance of the products deposited for 500 s is higher than that indicate that the reversibility and performance of these potassium manganese oxides are also changed with the deposition time.     

纳米SnO2的非水溶剂溶胶-凝胶法制备与表征

Nanometer SnO₂ powders were successfully prepared by non-hydrolytic sol-gel approach combined with heat treatments using tin tetrachloride as starting material and ethylene glycol as solvent. The reaction mechanism of the sol-gel process is proposed. Results indicate that the -OHCH₂CH₂OH- prevent Cl^- ion from accessing to tin Sn⁴⁺ due to steric effect, and hence increaseing the stability of the sol solution. Ethylene glycol functions not only as a complextion agent to form a polymer network but also as a “spacer” to modulate the distance between metal ions, preventing metal oxide particles from aggregation during desiccation of the sol. The effects of heat treatments on the evolution of structure and morphology of nanosized SnO₂ powders were studied. The powders with narrow size distribution around 15～20 nm could be obtained at 500 ℃ for 4 h.     

铟锡氧化物ITO纳米粉体的共沉淀法合成

Indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation method from granulated indium and oxalate tin. The ITO particles were characterized by means of XRD, BET and TEM. The tin doping decreases the crystallite size, increases the specific surface area and decreases the lattice volume of the ITO nanoparticles. The absence of chlorine ions in the synthesis greatly increases the particles′ purity, decreases the agglomeration and improves the synthesis efficiency. This synthesis process to ITO nanoparticles is now in pilot-scale production in: Light & Future Advanced Material Co. LTD, Daegu, Korea.

Highly soluble perylene tetracarboxylic diimides and tetrathiafulvalene–perylene tetracarboxylic diimide–tetrathiafulvalene triads

Two donor-σ-acceptor-σ-donor triads incorporating tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic diimides (PDI) units were synthesized. The structures of the triads and their intermediates were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, IR. The results of UV–vis and cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the triads indicated negligible intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) interaction in their ground states. The fluorescence and fluorescence lifetimes of the triads were reduced compared to PDIs, which evidently indicated that photoinduced electron transfer (PET) interaction occurred from the TTF unit to the PDI unit in the excited state. The fluorescence intensity of the triads could be reversibly modulated by sequential oxidation and reduction of the TTF unit using the chemical methods. Therefore two new fluorescence molecular switches based on TTF and PDI units were established.

Synthesis of novel copoly(styrene-maleic anhydride) materials and their luminescent properties

Two series of new high fluorescent polymeric materials based on copoly(styrene-maleic anhydride) (SMA) were prepared by the condensation of SMA with fluorescent groups.

These simple routes to copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride containing pendent luminescent moiety are promising in increasing fluorescent quantum yield in solid state and processing, in which styrene is employed as “diluents”. The luminescent and the preliminary photovoltaic properties of these copolymers have been investigated.

Three new diamines 1,2-di(p-aminophenyloxy)ethylene, 2-(4-aminophenoxy)methyl-5-aminobenzimidazole and 4,4-(aminopheyloxy) phenyl-4-aminobenzamide were synthesized and polymerized with 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BP), 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropyledene)diphthalic anhydride (HF) and 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PD) either by one step solution polymerization reaction or by two step procedure. The later includes ring opening poly-addition to give poly(amic acid), followed by cyclodehydration to polyimides with the inherent viscosities 0.62-0.97 dl/g. Majority of polymers are found to be soluble in most of the organic solvents such as DMSO, DMF, DMAc, m-cresol even at room temperature and few becomes soluble on heating. The degradation temperature of the resultant polymers falls in the ranges from 240 °C to 550 °C in nitrogen (with only 10% weight loss). Specific heat capacity at 300 °C ranges from 1.1899 to 5.2541 J g⁻¹ k⁻¹. The maximum degradation temperature ranges from 250 to 620 °C. T_g values of the polyimides ranged from 168 to 254 °C.     

Ultrafast relaxation and exciton–exciton annihilation in PTCDA thin films at high excitation densities

Femtosecond pump–probe spectroscopy is applied to thin films of the quasi-one-dimensional organic semiconductor 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA). We present transient absorption spectra over a broad spectral range. Ultrafast intraband relaxation in the S₁ manifold towards the border of the Brillouin zone is shown to depend on temperature and excitation density. The intraband relaxation time is of the order of 100 fs. At high excitation densities (>10¹⁹ cm⁻³), the major de-excitation mechanism for the relaxed excitons is exciton–exciton annihilation. The experimental decay dynamics can be explained very well by two alternative annihilation models: one-dimensional diffusion limited bimolecular recombination or single-step long range Förster-type annihilation. In contrast, a three-dimensional diffusion limited annihilation model is significantly inferior. For all three models, we extract annihilation rates, diffusion constants, diffusion lengths, and Förster radii for room and liquid Helium temperature.     

3,4,9,10-Perylene Tetracarboxylic Acid Noncovalently Modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis,Characterization, and Application for Electrochemical Determination of 2-Aminonaphthalene

Carbon nanotubes have been intensively studied for their diverse applications but are insoluble in water. In this paper, 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid noncovalently modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes were prepared by a facile approach and applied successfully for electrochemical determination of 2-aminonaphthalene. Infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and electrochemical methods were used to characterize the hybridized nanotubes. The results reveal that the hybrids exhibit high dispersibility in water, and a glassy carbon electrode modified by the hybrids displayed a higher electrochemical response toward 2-aminonaphthalene than bare glassy carbon and multiwalled carbon nanotube–glassy carbon electrodes with a linear dynamic range of 15.0–500.0 nM and a detection limit of 4.5 nM. The modified hybrid electrode was successfully applied for the determination of 2-aminonaphthalene in water.
