双金属/TiO2纳米管复合结构中增强的光电流

将传统半导体材料与金属微纳结构相结合,利用其表面等离激元共振效应,可有效地增强复合结构的光电转换效率,使其广泛地被用于光电化学和光电探测等领域.本文以氧化铝纳米管为模板,采用原子层沉积技术制备出高有序的TiO2纳米管,并通过电子束热蒸发技术在大孔径的纳米管薄膜中分别负载金、铝和双金属金/铝纳米颗粒,形成金属纳米颗粒/TiO2纳米管复合结构.研究结果表明,相对于纯TiO2纳米管,Au/TiO2复合纳米管在568 nm的可见光照射下,其光电流密度约有400%的提高;在365 nm紫外光照射下,Al/TiO2复合纳米管的光电流提高约50%;同时负载双金属Au和Al纳米颗粒的TiO2纳米管在整个紫外-可见光区域光电流均显著增强.     

TiO2颗粒尺寸对染料敏化太阳电池内电子输运特性影响研究

采用强度调制光电流谱(IMPS)和强度调制光电压谱(IMVS)研究了染料敏化太阳电池(DSC)内部电子传输和背反应动力学特性.在纳米TiO2薄膜厚度相同的情况下,借助于IMPS/IMVS测量了由3种不同TiO2颗粒尺寸大小薄膜制备出DSC的电荷传输特征参数值.IMPS/IMVS理论模型拟合实验测量数据的结果表明:在不同入射光强下,随着颗粒尺寸的增大,电子扩散系数(Dn)增大,而电子寿命(τn)减小,电子传输时间(τd)也减小.Dn随颗粒尺寸增大而增加归因于薄膜表面积的减小,而τn减小可以通过缺陷之间的跃迁频率来解释,τd减小是由于TiO2薄膜内缺陷浓度减小而导致的.

 采用光催化还原法在不同温度热处理的TiO2薄膜表面沉积Ag纳米颗粒,制备了Ag/TiO2纳米薄膜材料。通过UV-Vis吸收光谱表征对比了不同温度热处理的TiO2对Ag粒子光催化沉积的影响,发现500℃退火处理TiO2薄膜较利于Ag纳米粒子的光催化沉积;在650 nm红色激光照射下,500℃退火处理的Ag/TiO2样品具有明显的光致变色现象,对此变色过程中涉及的机理进行了讨论,且发现随着Ag纳米颗粒光催化沉积时间的增长,Ag/TiO2薄膜光致变色的响应速率提高,但Ag纳米颗粒过多会抑制Ag/TiO2薄膜的变色响应速率。     

纳米TiO_2∶Zn薄膜电极紫外光电特性研究

采用sol-gel法制备了Zn2 掺杂的锐钛矿相纳米TiO2薄膜电极.通过光电流作用谱和电流-电位(I-U)曲线研究了掺杂不同浓度Zn2 的TiO2薄膜电极的光电特性.由光电流作用谱可知,Zn2 的掺杂可显著影响薄膜电极的光电流大小,且掺杂的最佳浓度与薄膜晶粒尺度有关.在320nm单色光照射下,掺杂浓度(摩尔浓度)为0.1%的薄膜电极光电流最大,与未掺杂的本征薄膜电极相比增幅达40%.I-U曲线表明,光照下,随电极电位由正到负逐渐降低,不同掺杂浓度的TiO2薄膜电极中均出现了阳极电流向阴极电流转换的现象,且Zn2 掺杂浓度可影响电极阳极电流的初始电位.另外,无光照的暗态下,各薄膜在负电位区域观察到了相似的随电位降低而迅速增大的阴极暗电流.     

基于AAO模板的TiO_2微纳结构及其光电特性

以多孔氧化铝(AAO)和导电玻璃FTO为基底,用射频(RF)磁控溅射法和溶胶凝胶(Sol-gel)法分别制备了微纳结构的TiO2,两种TiO2沉积技术各自体现出其特质。从XRD衍射光谱和拉曼散射光谱可以看到,在相同退火条件下,RF和Sol-gel法制备的TiO2晶相结构不同。在以导电玻璃FTO为基底时,RF制备的薄膜颗粒分布均匀,没有团簇现象;而Sol-gel制备的薄膜由密实的颗粒构成。在以AAO为模板时,Sol-gel制备的TiO2溶胶粒子由于胶体溶液的流动性使其对孔的填充率保持较高的水平;而RF制备的TiO2对孔的填充率则降低。光电流实验的结果表明,前者具有更好的光电特性。

Self-limiting growth of Pt nanoparticles from MeCpPtMe3 adsorbed on TiO2110 studied by scanning tunneling microscopy

The growth of Pt nanoparticles from the metal-organic precursor [MeCpPtMe3: (methylcyclopentadienyl) trimethyl platinum] on TiO2(110) was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. 2D-like Pt particles on the surface were formed in a self-limiting growth mode. The inner structure of the particles was resolved as unique tetramerlike bright spots. A mechanism for the self-limiting growth of Pt particles is proposed.     

Templated syntheses of Pt thin films with feature sizes of 3, 6 and 9 nm and their effects on SERS

We report on the syntheses of nanostructured Pt films with three different feature sizes of 3, 6 and 9 nm and their effects to the surface enhance Raman spectroscopy of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) analytes. The syntheses of the Pt films have been achieved through templating the pore structures of mesoporous silica thin films (MSTFs). For the purpose of the present study, we synthesized three MSTFs with pore sizes 3, 6 and 9 nm. Other than the pore sizes, the silica thin films have the same pore structures. The Pt films have been synthesized by depositing Pt into the pores of the template MSTFs and removing the templates after the deposition. The Pt films produce strong Raman spectra of Rh6G with the intensity increasing as the feature size of the Pt film increases. Simulations of the induced electromagnetic fields on the Pt films show the same trend as the observed Raman intensity with the feature size. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A computational DFT analysis of OH chemisorption on catalytic Pt(111) nanoparticles

In this article, various energies and geometries of pure platinum nanoparticles and those of platinum nanoparticles with adsorbed OH were investigated. Fourteen different platinum clusters of 3–40 atoms were studied using spin-unrestricted density functional theory (DFT) with a double numerical plus polarization basis set. This range of sizes gave enough information for establishing the general trends that were the primary goal of the study. Three different shapes of platinum clusters were presented, and the effect of cluster size on binding energy, total energy, and HOMO–LUMO energy gap was investigated. Subsequently, same calculations were performed for those selected Pt clusters with OH adsorbate on the surface. The results show that the stability of both the pure clusters and the clusters with adsorbed OH molecule increases with an increase of cluster size. This fact indicates that direct influence of the size of Pt cluster on the reaction rate is possible, and the understanding of how cluster size would affect binding energy is important. As expected, the effect of cluster size on total energy of molecule was shown to be a linear function independent of cluster type. We also found that optimized (stable) Pt clusters were bigger in size than that of the initial clusters, or clusters with bulk geometry.

采用有机溶剂热法在FTO衬底上制备{001}面暴露的单晶锐钛矿相TiO₂纳米片阵列,通过FESEM和XRD研究样品的形貌和晶体结构. 与水热法制备的纳米片阵列相比,有机溶剂热法制备的样品取向性更好. 采用光沉积方法在纳米片阵列上沉积Pt,所得到的Pt纳米颗粒粒径更为均匀,并且更容易沉积在{001}面上. 所负载的Pt 纳米颗粒增强了TiO₂纳米片的光吸收性能,同时大大减弱了光致发光强度. 在光催化性能测试中,具有最优负载量的样品催化性能提高了一倍. 与传统的Pt负载相比,{001}面的最优负载量显得相当小,这可能源于高活性{001}面的原子结构.

Effects of annealing time on infrared emissivity of the Pt film grown on Ni alloy

Platinum films were sputter-deposited on polished nickel alloy substrates. The platinum thin films were applied to serve as low-emissivity layers to reflect thermal radiation. The platinum-coated samples were then heated in the air at 600 °C to explore the effects of annealing time on the emissivity of platinum films. The results show that the grain size of the Pt films increased with the increasing annealing time while their dc electrical resistivity decreased. Besides, the IR emissivitiy of the films gradually decreased with the increasing annealing time. Especially, when the annealing time reached 150 h, the average IR emissivity at the wavelength of 3-14 μm was only about 0.1. Moreover, the chemical analysis indicated that the Pt films on Ni-based alloy exhibit a good resistance against oxidation at 600 °C.     

Abnormal optical changes with the formation of Pt nanoclusters

We have investigated the effect of the annealing time on the structural and abnormal optical changes of amorphous platinum oxide thin films on quartz glass substrate by dc magnetron sputtering by using a pure platinum target. With increasing the annealing time, the decomposition phenomenon of a-PtO_x and the formation of Pt nanoclusters were also observed. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements confirmed that the change derives from the formation of Pt nanoclusters due to the thermal decomposition. A transmittance measurement of a-PtO_x thin films annealed at 600 °C for 0–4 min demonstrated abnormal optical changes.
