碱性介质中CO对甲醇在PtAu(111)和Pt(111)表面氧化生成甲酸的影响的第一性原理研究

采用密度泛函理论计算研究了碱性介质中甲醇在清洁的PtAu(111)和Pt(111)表面、及有CO存在的PtAu(111)和Pt(111)表面的氧化。计算结果表明,在碱性介质中,预吸附的CO促进了甲醇在PtAu(111)和Pt(111)表面氧化的每一步反应,这与其在Au(111)表面的作用相似。究其原因,是由于CO的吸附增强了OH的稳定性和碱性,从而增强了OH夺取氢原子的能力。

研究了四苯基卟啉(H2TPP)及其金属配合物(AgTPP和MgTPP)在AgBr胶体上的表面增强喇曼光谱(SERS).SERS光谱表明,吸附在AgBr胶体粒子表面的MgTPP和H2TPP分子分别发生银离子交换和银配位反应生成AgTPP,这种表面反应可能与激光照射有关.AgTPP分子在胶体粒子表面的吸附导致卟啉大环的非平面化,使vs振动(M-N键伸缩振动)向高波数方向移动近10 cm-1.632.8 nm激发下的表面喇曼谱以化学增强为主,而488.0 nm激发下表面喇曼谱除化学增强效应外,还存在共振增强效应.     

三甲胺表面增强拉曼光谱的密度泛函理论研究

三甲胺(Trimethylamine, TMA)是衡量畜禽水产及其制品中腐败程度重要指标。表面增强拉曼光谱技术在纳米级ⅠB族金属粗糙结构上具有极高检测灵敏度。目前,TMA表面增强拉曼光谱实验研究还未见报道,所以理论得到TMA表面增强拉曼谱图并和实验结果对比具有重要意义。将表面增强拉曼光谱与密度泛函理论(DFT)结合,研究TMA在银表面的吸附行为,通过不同吸附方式确定TMA与银团簇作用位点。优化得到TMA分子与银团簇形成的复合物Agn(n=1,3,5,6,7,8,10)的稳定构型以及SERS响应,对TMA振动频率进行全面归属,结果表明,TMA与银团簇形成较稳定复合物,且TMA中N原子优先吸附在银团簇表面,并通过N垂直于银表面,符合化学增强机理。对比不同尺寸银团簇对TMA表面增强拉曼光谱的影响,表明一定范围内拉曼强度随着配位银原子的增加随之加大,在Ag_3-TMA峰强达到最大值39.75,而此后银团簇尺寸加大反而抑制了表面增强拉曼效应,使强度逐渐下降。     

Cu(100)表面HCOO对CO2吸附的稳定作用

采用广义梯度近似(GGA)的密度泛函理论(DFT)(DFT-GGA)并结合平板模型, 研究了CO2在HCOO 修饰Cu(100)表面的吸附行为. 计算结果表明, 与清洁Cu(100)表面相比较, CO2在HCOO修饰的Cu(100)表面的吸附强度增强, 其线性对称性不存在. 究其原因可归结为HCOO的存在使CO2分子带有部分极性, 从而使其与Cu(100)表面的作用增强.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy study on the structure changes of 4-mercaptopyridine adsorbed on silver substrates and silver colloids

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-mpy) adsorbed on HNO3 etched silver foil, chemically deposited silver films (silver mirror) and silver colloids were measured. The SERS study has revealed that 4-mpy was adsorbed onto the three kinds of silver surfaces by a sulfur-silver bond with the plane of pyridine ring being normal to the silver substrates. The structure of 4-mpy adsorbed on the silver surfaces depends largely on the pH values of environment. When the pH values of the environment are changed, the structure of 4-mpy adsorbed on silver surfaces can easily be altered through a protonation or deprotonation reaction occurring on the N atom of the pyridine ring, and the modified structure shows unique characters on the SERS spectrum. Owing to the remarkable enhancement ability of SERS technique and characteristic spectrum of different species, a monolayer of 4-mpy assembled on a silver mirror holds potential as a H+ sensor for highly sensitive detection of the proton concentration in an aqueous solution.     

Investigation of chemically modified barium titanate beads as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrates for the detection of benzene thiol, 1,2-benzene dithiol, and rhodamine 6G

SERS active surfaces were prepared by depositing silver films using Tollen's reaction on to barium titanate beads. The SERS activity of the resulting surfaces was probed using two thiols (benzene thiol and 1,2-benzene dithiol) and rhodamine 6G. The intensity of the SERS signal for the three analytes was investigated as a function of silver deposition time. The results indicate that the SERS intensity increased with increasing thickness of the silver film until a maximum signal intensity was achieved; additional silver deposition resulted in a decrease in the SERS intensity for all of the studied molecules. SEM measurement of the Ag coated barium titanate beads, as a function of silver deposition time, indicate that maximum SERS intensity corresponded with the formation of atomic scale islands of silver nanoparticles. Complete silver coverage of the beads resulted in a decreased SERS signal and the most intense SERS signals were observed at deposition times of 30 min for the thiols and 20 min for rhodamine 6G.     

Studies of the interaction of two organophosphonates with nanostructured silver surfaces

Electrochemical cycling of silver surfaces in the presence of the organophosphonates paraoxon and malathion leads to changes in the electrochemical response of silver and the formation of silver nanostructures. Adsorption of the organophosphonates onto the silver surfaces causes a significant reduction in the observed current response due to an increase in the charge transfer resistance. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) measurements indicate that paraoxon adsorbs with no structural changes, while malathion decomposes and a thiophosphonate interacts with the surface. The SERS study of these adsorbates was carried out by changing the electrochemical conditions and the concentration of the organophosphonates. The size of the nanostructures greatly influences the SERS signal and it is observed that the strongest enhancement is observed for mid-sized nanostructures with a uniform thickness on the surface. The limit of detection was shown to be in the range of 10 nM to 10 pM for paraoxon and malathion, respectively.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and density functional theory calculation of uracil on gold and silver nanoparticle surfaces

The adsorption structure of uracil on gold and silver nanoparticle surfaces has been comparatively studied by means of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Uracil appeared to assume a perpendicular orientation with respect to the surfaces. The presence of the nu(CH) band in the SERS spectra indicated a vertical orientation of the aromatic ring of uracil on Au and Ag. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation was performed at the levels of B3LYP and MP2 to estimate the energetic stability of the N3- and N1-deprotonated tautomers and their vibrational frequencies on the surfaces. Almost all the vibrational bands in the SERS spectra at high concentrations could be ascribed to the N3-deprotonated uracil. The N3-deprotonated tautomer was predicted to be more favorable on Au than on Ag from the DFT calculation. The metal-N bond distance was assumed to be shorter for Au than for Ag upon adsorption of uracil.     

Comparison of the adsorption orientation for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole by SERS spectroscopy

In this study, the adsorption orientation for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (MBO) on to silver mirror and silver sol substrates have been studied by surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The MBT and MBO were chemisorbed on both silver mirror and silver sol after deprotonation with a tilted orientation to the silver surfaces. The surface enhanced properties of MBT and MBO showed that the substrate of silver mirror was superior to the sliver sol. The SERS spectra of MBT and MBO revealed that both of the MBT and MBO were adsorbed on silver surfaces strongly by a common sulfur molecule and a sulfur atom from MBT and an oxygen atom from MBO. Therefore, the adsorption orientation of MBT and MBO was little tilted perpendicularly to the silver surfaces. The adsorption geometry did not undergo any significant changes in acidic and basic solutions. It showed that the adsorption orientation for MBT and MBO were stable in the both solutions.     

Silver Nanoparticle Thin Films with Nanocavities for Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering

The formation of nanometer‐sized gaps between silver nanoparticles is critically important for optimal enhancement in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). A simple approach is developed to generate nanometer‐sized cavities in a silver nanoparticle thin film for use as a SERS substrate with extremely high enhancement. In this method, a submicroliter volume of concentrated silver colloidal suspension stabilized with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is spotted on hydrophobic glass surfaces prepared by the exposure of the glass to dichloromethysilane vapors. The use of a hydrophobic surface helps the formation of a more uniform silver nanoparticle thin film, and CTAB acts as a molecular spacer to keep the silver nanoparticles at a distance. A series of CTAB concentrations is investigated to optimize the interparticle distance and aggregation status. The silver nanoparticle thin films prepared on regular and hydrophobic surfaces are compared. Rhodamine 6G is used as a probe to characterize the thin films as SERS substrates. SERS enhancement without the contribution of the resonance of the thin film prepared on the hydrophobic surface is calculated as 2×10⁷ for rhodamine 6G, which is about one order of magnitude greater than that of the silver nanoparticle aggregates prepared with CTAB on regular glass surfaces and two orders of magnitude greater than that of the silver nanoparticle aggregates prepared without CTAB on regular glass surfaces. A hydrophobic surface and the presence of CTAB have an increased effect on the charge‐transfer component of the SERS enhancement mechanism. The limit of detection for rhodamine 6G is estimated as 1.0×10^?8 M . Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy are used for the characterization of the prepared substrate.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and the adsorption behavior of (RS)-phenylsuccinic acid

The surface geometry of (RS)-phenylsuccinic acid molecule was studied by analysis of the SERS spectra of aromatic dicarboxylic acid adsorbed on silver colloid surfaces. For a reliable analysis of the SERS spectrum, we also performed density functional theoretical calculations. The SERS spectral features indicated that the RSPSA molecules should bound to the silver as dicarboxylate, with a strongly tilted orientation with respect to the normal to the surface. Such a tilted orientation was presumed to occur by the simultaneous sigma and pi-type coordination of carboxylate groups to silver surface caused by the steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion between the two carboxylate groups, and thereby RSPSA on silver was easily displaced with aromatic carboxylic acids. A sigma-type coordination therefore seemed to be more important than a pi-type coordination for aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives to assemble on a silver surface. The large enhancement of in-plane bending, out of plane bending and ring breathing modes in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectrum indicates that the molecule is adsorbed on the silver surface in a 'at least vertical' configuration, with the ring perpendicular to the silver surface.     

Surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy of B vitamins: what is the effect of SERS-active metals used?

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy and surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy are analytical tools suitable for the detection of small amounts of various analytes adsorbed on metal surfaces. During recent years, these two spectroscopic methods have become increasingly important in the investigation of adsorption of biomolecules and pharmaceuticals on nanostructured metal surfaces. In this work, the adsorption of B-group vitamins pyridoxine, nicotinic acid, folic acid and riboflavin at electrochemically prepared gold and silver substrates was investigated using Fourier transform SERS spectroscopy at an excitation wavelength of 1,064 nm. Gold and silver substrates were prepared by cathodic reduction on massive platinum targets. In the case of gold substrates, oxidation–reduction cycles were applied to increase the enhancement factor of the gold surface. The SERS spectra of riboflavin, nicotinic acid, folic acid and pyridoxine adsorbed on silver substrates differ significantly from SERS spectra of these B-group vitamins adsorbed on gold substrates. The analysis of near-infrared-excited SERS spectra reveals that each of B-group vitamin investigated interacts with the gold surface via a different mechanism of adsorption to that with the silver surface. In the case of riboflavin adsorbed on silver substrate, the interpretation of surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectra was also helpful in investigation of the adsorption mechanism.
