Controlled synthesis of high-quality PbS star-shaped dendrites, multipods, truncated nanocubes, and nanocubes and their shape evolution process

Well-defined single-crystalline PbS nano- and microstructures including dendrites, multipods, truncated nanocubes, and nanocubes were synthesized in high yield by a simple solution route. Novel star-shaped PbS dendrites with six symmetric arms along the 100 direction, each of which shows one trunk (long axis) and four branches (short axes), have been achieved using Pb(AC)2 and thioacetamide (TAA) as precursors, under the molar ratio Pb(AC)2/TAA = 2/1, at initial reaction temperature 80 degrees C, refluxing for 30 min at 100 degrees C, in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromine (CTAB). The "nanorods" in each branch are parallel to each other in the same plane and are perpendicular to the trunk. The truncated nanocubes mainly bounded by the {100} plane were prepared under a different Pb(AC)2/TAA molar ratio, at initial reaction temperature 40 degrees C, refluxing for 12 h at 100 degrees C. Based on the systematic studies on their shape evolution, a possible growth mechanism of these PbS nano- and microstructures was proposed. The shapes of PbS nanocrystals with face-centered cubic (fcc) structure are mainly determined by the ratio (R) between the growth rates along the (100) and (111) directions. The Pb(AC)2/TAA molar ratio and the initial reaction temperature influence the growth ratio R in the formation of PbS nuclei at an early stage, which results in the final morphology of PbS nanocrystals. Under the current experimental conditions, we can control the PbS shape evolution by simply tuning the molar ratio, the initial reaction temperature, and the period of reaction. Based on the systematic studies on the shape evolution, this approach is expected to be employed for the control-shaped synthesis of other fcc structural semiconductor nanomaterials. The photoluminescence properties were investigated and the prepared nano- and microstructures displayed a very strong luminescence around 600-650 nm at room temperature.

Direct synthesis of branched gold nanocrystals and their transformation into spherical nanoparticles

We report a facile synthesis of branched gold nanocrystals by the addition of a suitable amount of NaOH to an aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), HAuCl(4), and ascorbic acid. The branched nanocrystals were formed within minutes of reaction and showed monopod, bipod, tripod, and tetrapod structures. They are crystalline and have smooth surfaces. These gold multipods are kinetically controlled products and are thermodynamically unstable. The branched nanocrystals quickly transformed into spherical nanoparticles within 1 h of reaction, and the process was essentially complete after 2 days. The morphological transformation has been monitored by both UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The appearance of two major absorption bands for the branched gold nanocrystals eventually became only a single band at 529 nm for the spherical nanoparticles. The resulting nanoparticles are single crystals with diameters of 20-50 nm and do not show a faceted structure. When the freshly prepared branched nanocrystals are kept in a refrigerator at 4 degrees C, their multipod structure can be preserved for over a month without significant spectral shifts.     

Shape control and associated magnetic properties of spinel cobalt ferrite nanocrystals

By combining nonhydrolytic reaction with seed-mediated growth, high-quality and monodisperse spinel cobalt ferrite, CoFe(2)O(4), nanocrystals can be synthesized with a highly controllable shape of nearly spherical or almost perfectly cubic. The shape of the nanocrystals can also be reversibly interchanged between spherical and cubic morphology through controlling nanocrystal growth rate. Furthermore, the magnetic studies show that the blocking temperature, saturation, and remanent magnetization of nanocrystals are solely determined by the size regardless the spherical or cubic shape. However, the shape of the nanocrystals is a dominating factor for the coercivity of nanocrystals due to the effect of surface anisotropy. Such magnetic nanocrystals with distinct shapes possess tremendous potentials in fundamental understanding of magnetism and in technological applications of magnetic nanocrystals for high-density information storage.     

Controlled synthesis of bionic microstructure PbS crystals by mixed cationic/anionic surfactants

Hexagonal starfish-like PbS crystals have been synthesized by the reaction of lead acetate and thioacetamide (TAA) controlled by mixture of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/sodium dodecyl sulfate (STAB/SDS) at the molar ratio of 5: 1 through a hydrothermal process at 80°C. It has been found that the hexagonal starfish-like PbS single crystal is in cubic phase, and the six arms of the star extend along the six 〈100〉 directions. By changing reaction conditions, such as the molar ratio of CTAB/SDS, temperature, and reaction time, the amounts of TAA and lead sources, the morphology and structure of the PbS crystals can be controlled. Furthermore, possible formation mechanism was preliminarily illustrated. The room-temperature photoluminescence spectra in solid state of the PbS single crystals obtained after different reaction times were investigated, which demonstrated that the PbS single crystals presented excellent optical properties. This work may open a novel route to the shaped-controllable synthesis of semiconductor crystals with various morphologies.     

Size-controlled synthesis of orderly organized cube-shaped lead sulfide nanocrystals via a solvothermal single-source precursor method

Monodisperse cube-shaped lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals were successfully synthesized by virtue of a solvothermal single-source precursor method at mild reaction conditions. These resulted PbS nanocrystals have the average size in a range of 10 nm and a uniform cubic shape, shown by TEM and HRTEM, respectively. Due to their narrow size distribution, orderly self-organized arrays on a large scale can be easily obtained. Experimental results indicate that several factors, such as coordinating ability of the solvent, carbon number of the substitute alkyls (n), reaction temperature, and concentration of the precursor, play key roles in the final size and size distribution of PbS nanocrystals. This finding will enhance our understanding for the formation mechanism of nanostructured materials with special shapes.     

The Role of Water for the Phase‐Selective Preparation of Hexagonal and Cubic Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles

A selective preparation and the formation mechanism of hexagonal and cubic CoO nanoparticles from the reaction of [Co(acac)₂] (acac=acetylacetonate) and amine have been investigated. CoO nanoparticles with a hexagonal pyramidal shape were yielded under decomposition conditions with amine. Importantly, the addition of water altered the final phase to cubic and comprehensively changed the reaction mechanism. The average sizes of the hexagonal and cubic CoO nanoparticles could be controlled either by changing the amine concentration or by using different reaction temperatures. Detailed formation mechanisms are proposed on the basis of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry data and color changes of the reaction mixture. The hexagonal CoO phase is obtained through two distinct pathways: solvolysis with C C bond cleavage and direct condensation by amine. On the other hand, the cubic CoO nanoparticles were synthesized by strong nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ions from water and subsequent C C bond breaking. The resulting caboxylate ligand can stabilize a cobalt hydroxide intermediate, leading to the generation of a thermodynamically stable CoO phase.     

Synthesis of Barium Lithium Fluoride Nanocrystals Using Reverse Micelles as Microemulsion

Barium lithium fluoride nanocrystals were synthesized in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/2-octanol/water microemulsion systems. The impurity peaks in XRD patterns were not determined. The result of SEM confirmed that the average sizes and shape of the BaLiF3 nanocrystals. The formation of BaLiF3 and particles size were strongly affected by water content. With increasing water content and reaction times, the size of the particle increases.Meanwhile, the solvent was also found to play a key role in the synthesis of the BaLiF3 nanocrystals.     

Fast Synthesis of PbS Nanocrystals in Aqueous Solution with Shape Evolution from Cubic to Octahedral Structures and Their Assembled Structures

In this study, we have developed for the first time a fast and energy‐efficient method for the synthesis of PbS nanocrystals with systematic shape evolution from cubic to truncated cubic, cuboctahedral, truncated octahedral, and octahedral structures. The method involves the addition of a small volume of preheated lead acetate and thioacetamide (TAA) mixture to an aqueous growth solution of lead acetate, thioacetamide, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and nitric acid. By varying the amount of thioacetamide added to the growth solution, PbS nanocrystals with different morphologies were generated in 2 h at 90 °C. Slight experimental modifications were adopted to generate truncated octahedra. The nanocrystals have very uniform dimensions with average sizes of 32–47 nm. Their structures have been extensively examined by electron microscopy. Nanocube sizes can also be tuned within a range. UV/Vis absorption spectra of PbS cubes, cuboctahedra, and octahedra all show decreasing but continuous absorption from 300 nm to beyond 1000 nm. By monitoring the speed of darkening of solution color, particle growth rate was found to be fastest for nanocubes, followed by truncated cubes, cuboctahedra, and octahedra. These monodisperse nanocrystals can readily form self‐assembled structures. Truncated cubes and octahedra that form monolayer and multilayer packing arrangements have also been studied. This green approach to the synthesis of PbS nanocrystals with fine size and shape control should allow for investigations of their facet‐dependent properties and the fabrication of novel heterostructures.
