Surface-enhanced Raman scattering using bismuth nanoparticles: a study with amino acids

Bismuth nanoparticles produced by laser ablation synthesis in solution (LASiS) show localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs). The nanoparticles show surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity for several tested amino acids. Optical absorption, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as Raman scattering were used to characterize the samples. The search for new biocompatible nanoparticles for diagnostic purposes is important, and the demonstration that a semimetal is capable to act as a SERS active system opens new possibilities for molecular detection.     

Enhancement of surface properties of oil fly ash by chemical treatment

In this study, surface modification of oil fly ash (OFA), a by-product generated by oil power plants, was achieved by chemical treatment. A mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids was used to modify the surface in order to attach a carboxylic functional group to the surface of OFA. The goal of surface modification of OFA is to make its surface more compatible with nonpolar polymers in order to produce OFA/polymer composite materials with improved dispersion of OFA, and to increase OFA surface area in order to support its use as adsorbent materials in adsorptive separation and purification applications. Different acid compositions were used for treatment by gradually increasing the nitric acid concentration from 0 to 20%. Also, the effect of oxidation on surface modification was examined by introducing air to enhance the oxidation of OFA. FTIR analysis was performed to identify the different functional groups attached to OFA surface before and after the chemical treatment. Evaluation of different structural changes during the surface modification was investigated by XRD analysis. Surface morphology and spot analysis was studied by SEM technique to identify the composition of different elements present in the OFA such as carbon, oxygen and sulfur. BET analysis showed major increase in surface area after modification as well as pore size and micropore volume of OFA particles. The maximum increase in surface area was obtained with 15 vol.% HNO₃. Also, carboxylic functionalization of OFA was enhanced when air was injected.     

Adsorption and reactivity of SO2 on Ir(1 1 1) and Rh(1 1 1)

The adsorption and reactivity of SO₂ on the Ir(1 1 1) and Rh(1 1 1) surfaces were studied by surface science techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements showed that SO₂ was molecularly adsorbed on both the Ir(1 1 1) surface and the Rh(1 1 1) surface at 200 K. Adsorbed SO₂ on the Ir(1 1 1) surface disproportionated to atomic sulfur and SO₃ at 300 K, whereas adsorbed SO₂ on the Rh(1 1 1) surface dissociated to atomic sulfur and oxygen above 250 K. Only atomic sulfur was present on both surfaces above 500 K, but the formation process and structure of the adsorbed atomic sulfur on Ir(1 1 1) were different from those on Rh(1 1 1). On Ir(1 1 1), atomic sulfur reacted with surface oxygen and was completely removed from the surface, whereas on Rh(1 1 1), sulfur did not react with oxygen.     

Magnesium chloride: an efficient 13C NMR relaxation agent for amino acids and some carboxylic acids

A series of amino acids and carboxylic acids were determined by 13C NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that addition of 3 M MgCl(2), led to shortening of relaxation time and 13C NMR integral area of samples was well proportional to the number of carbon atoms with reliability more than 95%. So MgCl(2) is proposed as an efficient relaxation agent for analysis of amino acids and some carboxylic acids.     

Structure and property of multiple amino acids assembled on the surface of a CNT

Amino acids were placed with maximal filling on the surface of a CNT via hydrogen bonding and H/π interactions. The interaction structures and properties of assembled complexes were investigated via the density functional tight-binding method. The structural parameters and interaction energies were analyzed to identify the weak interaction strengths. We found that the H/π interactions between amino acids and CNTs play more important roles than the hydrogen bonds between amino acids in stabilizing the complex structures. The effect of CNT chirality and amino acid type were also studied. Furthermore, the HOMOs and LUMOs of the representative complexes were also studied to illustrate the interactions. Our data is helpful in the modification of CNTs by biomolecules.     

Surface modification of zinc oxide nanorods for potential applications in organic materials

A facile and simple modification method towards changing surface property of ZnO nanorods from a hydrophilic one to a hydrophobic one have been developed by refluxing precursor in three-necked flask. Comparing with the other modifiers discussed in the paper, NDZ-311w titanate coupling agent was selected as the best one not only because of the good lipophilic modification effect, but also for its multifunctional groups could play a crucial part in further composite with organic materials. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively, were used to evaluate the morphology, structure and combinative way before and after surface modification. The TEM result showed, after modifying process, there was a thin layer capping on the surface of ZnO nanorods which could be considered as NDZ-311w titanate coupling agent. Through the structure analysis by XRD, it was found that the surface modification had not substantially altered crystalline structure. Besides, the FT-IR test proved that NDZ-311w titanate coupling agent was rather covalently bonded to the surface of ZnO nanorods than physically capping. More practically speaking, the NDZ-311w titanate coupling agent modified ZnO nanorods have much more potential applications in organic materials than unmodified ones.     

Facile synthesis of SERS active Ag nanoparticles in the presence of tri-n-octylphosphine sulfide

A facile and novel way was reported here for the synthesis of hydrophobic Ag nanoparticles (NPs), using AgNO₃, tri-n-octylphosphine (TOP) and sulfur (S) powder in process. TOP was used as solvent, reducing agent and stabilizer. S could chelate with excessive TOP to form trioctylphosphine sulfide (TOPS), which served as second capping agent. The hydrophobic Ag NPs could be transformed into hydrophilic state through ligand exchange. Furthermore, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) were obtained on the hydrophobic and hydrophilic Ag NPs modified substrates, indicating that the as-synthesized Ag NPs had great potential for high sensitive optical detection applications.     

The adsorption and stability of sulfur containing amino acids on Cu{5 3 1}

The adsorption of l-cysteine and l-methionine amino acids on a chiral Cu{5 3 1} surface was investigated with high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and carbon K-edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) Spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. XPS shows that at 300 K l-cysteine adsorbs through two oxygen, a nitrogen and a sulfur atom, in a four point ‘quadrangular footprint’, whereas l-methionine adsorbs through only two oxygen and a nitrogen atom in a ‘triangular footprint’. NEXAFS was used to clarify the adsorption geometry of both molecules, which suggests a binding orientation to the top layer and second layer atoms in two different orientations associated with adsorption sites on {1 1 0} and {3 1 1} microfacets of the Cu{5 3 1} surface.

Stabilization against initial oxidation using surface segregation of sulfur on Fe(1 0 0)

Surface segregation process of dissolved elements on a Fe(1 0 0) surface and the initial oxidation processes of the sulfur segregated surfaces were studied in situ by AES and RHEED. The surface enrichment of sulfur has formed a c(2×2) superstructure at elevated temperatures. The Fe(1 0 0)c(2×2)-S surface was found to have stabilization effect against initial oxidation. The retardation of oxidation was most enhanced when the sulfur surface concentration reached at the saturation coverage (1/2 ML). The possible physical origins of the stabilization effect are proposed.
