Photocatalytic Dissociation of CH3OH on ZnO(0001) Surface

Photocatalysis of CH₃OH on the ZnO(0001) surface has been investigated by using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) method with a 266 nm laser light. TPD results show that part of the CH₃OH adsorbed on ZnO(0001) surface are in molecular form, while others are dissociated. The thermal reaction products of H₂, CH₃^·, H₂O, CO, CH₂O, CO₂ and CH₃OH have been detected. Experiments with the UV laser light indicate that the irradiation can promote the dissociation of CH₃OH/CH₃O^· to form CH₂O, which can be future converted to HCOO^- during heating or illumination. The reaction between CH₃OH_Znand OH_ad can form the H₂O molecule at the Zn site. Both temperature and illumination promote the desorption of CH₃^· from CH₃O^·. The research provides a new insight into the photocatalytic reaction mechanism of CH3OH on ZnO(0001).     

Photolysis of 1,1,1-trifluoromethylazomethane as a source of methyl and trifluoromethyl radicals

The photochemistry of 1,1,1-trifluoromethylazomethane has been partially characterized. The quantum yield for N₂ formation from photolysis at 366 nm and room temperature was unity at low pressure and decreased to 0.5 at 630 torr. At room temperature the principal products were C₂H₆, C₂F₆, CH₃CF₃ (or CH₂CF₂ + HF at reduced pressures), plus substituted hydrazines, which mainly arise from addition of CF₃ to the parent followed by combination of these radicals with CH₃ or CF_3. These fluorinated methyl hydrazine products detract from the general utility of CF₃-N₂-R compounds as sources for simultaneous study of the chemistry of CF₃ and R radicals. At room temperature the hydrazine products accounted for more than 50% of the total yield; however, these products can be reduced by lowering the temperature and at 195°K their yields are negligible. The quantum yield for intramolecular (direct) formation of CH₃CF₃ + N₂ was shown to be ≤0.002.     

Preparation and characterization of novel polyimide/functionalized ZnO bionanocomposite for gas separation and study of their antibacterial activity

In the present investigation novel Polyimide/functionalized ZnO (PI/ZnO) bionanocomposites containing amino acid (Methionine) and benzimidazole pendent groups with different amounts of modified ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were successfully prepared through ultrasonic irradiation technique. Due to the high surface energy and tendency for agglomeration, the surface ZnO NPs was modified by a coupling agent as 3- methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPS) to form MPS-ZnO nanoparticles. The ultrasonic irradiation effectively changes the rheology and the glass transition temperature and the crystallinity of the composite polymer. PI/ZnO nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). TEM analysis showed that the modified ZnO nanoparticles were homogeneously dispersed in polymer matrix. The TGA results of PI/ZnO nanocomposites showed that the thermal stability is obviously improved the presence of MPS-ZnO NPs in comparison with the pure PI and that this increase is higher when the NP content increases. The permeabilities of pure H₂, CH₄, O₂, and N₂ gases through prepared membranes were determined at room temperature (25 °C) and 20 bar feed pressure. The membranes having 20% ZnO showed higher values of H₂ permeability, and H₂/CH₄ and H₂/N₂ ideal selectivities (the ratio of pair gas permeabilities) compared with other membranes. The antibacterial activity of bionanocomposite films was tested against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Further, it was observed that antibacterial activity of the resulting hybrid biofilms showed somewhat higher for gram-positive bacteria compared to gram-negative bacteria.     

Effects of Different Amount of Crystalline Solvate Molecules on Solid Structures and Photophysical Properties of a Platinum(II) Moiety with 4,4′‐Dibromo‐2,2′‐Bipyridine Ligand

A platinum(II) complex Pt(DiBrbpy)Cl₂ ( 1 ) based on 4,4′‐dibromo‐2,2′‐bipyridine ligand was synthesized and characterized. Interestingly, two solvated phases of 1 with different amounts of crystalline CH₂Cl₂ molecules, 1· 1/3(CH₂Cl₂) (yellow) and 1· 3/2(CH₂Cl₂) (red), were obtained. In the solid state, 1· 1/3(CH₂Cl₂) exhibits a 3D supramolecular structure based on Pt(DiBrbpy)Cl₂ monomer and emits a weak yellow luminescence at 541 nm (579, sh). In contrast, 1· 3/2(CH₂Cl₂) displays a 2D layer structure based on Pt(DiBrbpy)Cl₂ dimeric units and has a strong red luminescence centered at 624 nm. The results show that crystalline solvate molecule amount can not only influence the packing structures but also photophysical properties of the platinum moiety in solid state. Furthermore, the absorption and luminescence spectra of both phases were studied by TD‐DFT calculations.     

Controlled-synthesis of ZnO nanorings

ZnO nanorings were synthesized on a large scale by an easy solution-based method at 70°C for 5 h using hexamethylenetramine (C₆H₁₂N₄, HMT) and Zn (NO₃)₂·2H₂O as raw materials in the presence of surfactant poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PAM-CTAC). The structure and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of experimental conditions such as concentration of surfactant and reactants, reaction temperature on the structure and morphology of the products were investigated. A probable formation mechanism of ZnO nanorings in the presence of surfactant PAM-CTAC was discussed. The results show that the products are wurtzite hexagonal ZnO nanorings with an inner diameter of 220 nm and a wall thickness of 70 nm. Reaction temperature and concentration of reactants influence the shape and size of ZnO nanorings but PAM-CTAC plays the key role in the formation of ZnO nanorings. Through adjusting the concentration of PAM-CTAC, controlled-synthesis of ZnO nanorings can be realized. A room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of ZnO obtained shows that the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the UV emission (∼7 nm) is much narrower than that of commercial ZnO bulk crystals (∼18 nm). The narrow FWHM confirms the uniformity and narrow size distribution of the synthesized ZnO crystals. __________ Translated from Chemical Journal of Chinese Universities, 2008, 29(1): 28–32

The concentration of SO₃ was monitored by the SO₂* fluorescence from excitation of SO₃ at 147 nm. The reaction rate constant of SO₃ + CH₃OH in the gas phase is determined to be (1.17 ± 0.16) × 10^?13 cm³ molec^?1 s^?1 at room temperature.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Semiconductor Nanomaterials and Micromaterials via Gamma-irradiation Route

In this review, we reported our recent studies on controlled growth of sulfide and oxide semiconductor nano-and micro-structures via gamma-irradiation route. NiS and PbS uniform hollow microspheres (∼500 nm) have been successfully synthesized by γ-irradiating PMMA-CS₂-ethanol aqueous solution that contains Ni²⁺ or Pb²⁺ at room temperature, respectively. Large-scale single-crystalline ZnO hexangular prisms were successfully prepared through a simple γ-irradiation approach at room temperature and under ambient pressure. CdSe hollow structures and hollow nanospheres (40∼50 nm), compass-shaped (80 nm in middle width and 200 nm in length) Mn₃O₄ (hausmannite) and monodisperse ZnS nanoballs etc. had been successfully synthesized through γ-irradiation route with different surfactant-assisted systems at room temperature. Those successful synthesis approaches in large scale and under mild conditions could be of interest for both applications and fundamental studies.     

A low-temperature synthesis of ultraviolet-light-emitting ZnO nanotubes and tubular whiskers

We have successfully synthesized single-crystal ZnO nanotubes and tubular whiskers by employing Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, NH₃·H₂O as the starting materials in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG, M_w=2000) at ambient pressure and low temperature (70 °C). Characterizations are carried out by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM, HRTEM) and photoluminescence (PL) measurement. The results show that the as-prepared ZnO are tubular textures, which have average cross-sectional dimensions of 200-300 nm, lengths of 2-3.5 μm, and wall thickness of 80 nm. These tubular products demonstrate a sharp ultraviolet excitonic emission peak centered at 385 nm at room temperature. A possible growth mechanism and the influence of the reaction temperature on the formation of crystalline ZnO are presented.
