Chelating template-induced encapsulation of NiO cluster in mesoporous silica via anionic surfactant-templated route

In this study, we develop a novel one-step method for synthesis of nickel oxide/silicon dioxide (NiO/SiO(2)) mesoporous composites by using N-hexadecyl ethylenediamine triacetate (HED3A) as structure-directing agent. Besides playing a role in directing the mesophase formation, the anionic surfactant also functions as a chelating agent that binds nickel ions. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analyses were undertaken to determine the chelating ability between HED3A and nickel ions. By adjusting the molar ratio of Ni(2+)/HED3A in the template solution, a series of mesoporous composites with various NiO contents were obtained after calcination. These composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The results showed that the generated NiO nanoparticles were aggregated into clusters with the size less than 20 nm, and the composites retained mesoporous characteristics even with high NiO contents. HRTEM images also revealed the migration and aggregation for NiO nanoparticles during the sintering process. Moreover, the energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDX) results showed a close linear relationship between Ni/Si in the composites and Ni(2+)/HED3A in the templates. This chelating surfactant-assistant encapsulation route has the potential to synthesize diversiform metal oxide/silica mesoporous composites with designated compositions.

Room temperature fabrication of hollow ZnS and ZnO architectures by a sacrificial template route

Hollow ZnS and ZnO architectures are fabricated by employing Zn(5)(CO(3))(2)(OH)(6) microspheres as the sacrificial template. Zn(5)(CO(3))(2)(OH)(6) microspheres can be effectively converted into the core/shell structured ZnO/ZnS composites (in the Na(2)S solution) and hollow ZnO architectures (in the KOH solution), by a spontaneous ion replacement reaction at room temperature. Removing the core by the KOH treatment of core/shell structured ZnO/ZnS, hollow ZnS spheres with different shell thicknesses can be effectively achieved. The obtained hollow ZnO architectures exhibit unique geometrical shapes, and their walls are composed of nanocrystals, which are connected to each other to form their hemispherical or circular shape. A possible formation process from Zn(5)(CO(3))(2)(OH)(6) microspheres to core/shell structured ZnO/ZnS composites is proposed by arresting a series of intermediate morphologies.     

WO3纳米颗粒修饰ZnO纳米管的光催化性能

二甲四氯钠(MCPA-Na)是一种广泛用于牧场和果园的除草剂,但由于其生物降解性极低,已成为地下水和浅水中的主要污染物.研究发现,半导体可以有效地辅助降解转化危险化学品.ZnO纳米管因其中空结构和较大的比表面积,而在光催化降解有机物方面备受关注.但是,ZnO只能吸收紫外光,如果将其与窄带隙半导体进行复合,可以有效降低带隙,增强其在可见光区域的光吸收,表现出更好的光催化性能.WO3是一种具有稳定物理化学性质及耐光腐蚀窄带隙半导体.采用WO3修饰ZnO纳米管,能扩展ZnO吸收光的范围以及提高ZnO纳米管的耐光腐蚀性能.本文首先通过电化学合成的方法制备了ZnO纳米管,然后按照不同的W/Zn摩尔比将(NH4)6H2W12O40·XH2O滴加在纳米管表面,并在450 ℃下退火2 h制得ZnO-WO3纳米管阵列.研究了不同WO3含量的ZnO-WO3纳米管光催化降解MCPA-Na性能,并且通过X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、傅里叶红外光谱仪(FTIR)、紫外可见光谱(UV-Vis)和光致发光光谱(PL)等手段研究了复合WO3纳米颗粒后ZnO纳米管半导体光催化性能提高的原因.XPS结果表明,W元素在ZnO-WO3纳米管阵列中以W6+的形式存在.FTIR结果表明,复合WO3后的ZnO-WO3复合半导体上比纯ZnO纳米管表面具有更多的OH-基团.由于OH-可以捕获光生空穴,并转化为具有反应活性的●OH自由基,因此复合WO3能在一定程度上提高ZnO纳米管的光催化活性.UV-Vis结果表明,WO3的复合使得光谱发生明显红移,但随着WO3含量的增加,ZnO-WO3的吸光度明显增加.另外,PL结果表明,适当的复合WO3可以抑制光生电子-空穴的复合.这是因为W6+和晶格氧的相互作用产生了较高不饱和键和表面缺陷,而表面缺陷可以作为光生载流子的陷阱,促进了光生电子和空穴的分离,因而光催化性能提高.在模拟太阳光下研究了不同WO3含量的ZnO纳米管对光催化降解MCPA-Na溶液的性能.发现W/Zn摩尔比为3%的ZnO-WO3样品表现出最好的光催化活性,200 min内其降解率为98.5%.与纯ZnO纳米管相比,其光催化循环性能也有所提高.利用Mott-Schottky测试方法并结合UV-vis结果,我们计算得到不同WO3含量的ZnO-WO3复合半导体导带价带位置.由于WO3导带位置和价带位置都比ZnO的更高,WO3上产生的光生电子会向ZnO的导带移动,而ZnO光生空穴向WO3的价带移动,从而促使光生电子和空穴的分离,提高了光催化性能.但是如果WO3复合的量太大,则在ZnO纳米管上分散性不好,反而成为光生空穴和电子复合中心,导致其光催化活性降低.     

Bisphenol A analog-imprinted polymers prepared by an immobilized template on a modified silica microsphere matrix.

Bisphenol A (BPA)-recognizing imprinted polymers were synthesized using a template immobilized on silica where the template was grafted to aminopropyl silica. The silica-template conjugate was co-polymerized with a cross-linker (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) and a functional monomer (4-vinylpyridine or methacrylic acid). The synthesized silica-polymer composites were treated with an aqueous NH4HF2 solution to dissolve the silica matrix. The 4-vinylpyridine-based imprinted polymer showed strong binding affinity to BPA and structurally related compounds having two hydroxyl groups at the 4,4'-position in the bisphenol structure.     

Optical properties of ZnO and ZnO:In nanorods assembled by sol-gel method

Self-assembled zinc oxide (ZnO) and indium-doping zinc oxide (ZnO:In) nanorod thin films were synthesized on quartz substrates without catalyst in aqueous solution by sol-gel method. The samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman-scattering spectroscopy, room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and temperature-dependent PL spectra measurements. XRD and Raman spectra illustrated that there were no single In2O3 phase in ZnO lattice after indium doping. The PL spectra of ZnO showed a strong UV emission band located at 394 nm and a very weak visible emission associated with deep-level defects. Indium incorporation induced the shift of optical band gap, quenching of the near-band-edge photoluminescence and enhanced LO mode multiphonon resonant Raman scattering in ZnO crystals at different temperatures. Abnormal temperature dependence of UV emission integrated intensity of ZnO and ZnO:In samples is observed. The local state emission peak of ZnO:In samples at 3.37 eV is observed in low-temperature PL spectra. The near-band-edge emission peak at room temperature was a mixture of excitons and impurity-related transitions for both of two samples.     

UV luminescent organic-capped ZnO quantum dots synthesized by alkoxide hydrolysis with dilute water

A novel synthesis route to organic-capped and colloidal ZnO quantum dots (QDs) has been developed. Specifically, zinc-di-t-butoxide and zinc-di-n-butoxide are hydrolyzed by very dilute water (400-600 mass ppm) in hydrophilic benzylamine and polymerized to ZnO by dehydration and/or a butanol elimination reaction. Growth of the ZnO QDs and exchange of the surface capping ligand from the hydroxyl groups and/or benzylamine to the oleylamine occur by heating the colloidal solution after addition of the oleylamine at 100-180°C. The final ZnO QDs with diameters in the range of 3-7 nm are highly dispersible in various organic solvents. The ZnO QDs exhibit the quantum size effect upon UV emission; it was controlled between 3.39 and 3.54 eV in the present study. The defect-related Vis emission decreased and the UV emission becomes dominant when zinc-di-n-butoxide with a 99.99% zinc purity is used as the starting material. The intensity of the photoluminescence UV emission is 1.5 times higher than that of the Vis emission.     

Highly Sensitive Electrochemiluminescent Insecticide Sensor Based on ZnO Nanocrystals Anchored Nickel Foam for Determination of Imidacloprid in Real Samples

In this work, a novel electrochemiluminescent (ECL) pesticide sensor based on zinc oxide nanocrystals decorated nickel foam is proposed for determination of imidacloprid for the first time. The silica film was used as a morphology‐controlling factor for modification of the electrode with zinc oxide nanocrystals. Zinc oxide was selected as luminescent material due to its cheapness, non‐toxicity, high thermal stability and excellent luminescence properties which truly adhered on the surface of nickel foam. The K₂S₂O₈ was used as strong co‐reactant for this purpose. The silica template plays an important role in controlling the size of ZnO nanocrystals. The Physical morphology of the ZnO/Ni‐foam electrode was performed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller (BET), X‐Ray diffraction analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis. The ultra‐sensitive electrochemiluminescence method was successfully used for ultra‐trace determination of imidacloprid. The linear dynamic range and low detection limit were obtained 3×10^?14 ?8×10^?8 M and 4.4×10^?15 M, respectively. Also, the relative standard deviation for 15 repetitive optical signals was calculated 1.09 %.The present ECL sensor exhibited superior performance toward the accurate determination of imidacloprid with good reproducibility and stability.

High Photocatalytic Properties of Zinc OxideNanoparticles with Amidoximated BacterialCellulose Nanofibers as Templates简

The freshly prepared water-wet amidoximated bacterial cellulose （Am-BC） serves as an effective nanoreactor to synthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles by in situ polyol method. The obtained ZnO/Am-BC nanocomposites have been characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE-SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）. The influence of the zinc acetate concentration on the morphologies and size ofZnO nanoparticles and the possible formation mechanism were discussed. The results indicated that uniform ZnO nanoparticles were homogeneously anchored on the Am-BC nanofibers through strong interaction between the hydroxyl and amino groups of Am-BC and ZnO nanoparticles. The loading content of ZnO nanoparticles is higher using Am-BC as a template than using the unmodified bacterial cellulose. The resultant nanocomposite synthesized at 0.05 wt% shows a high photocatalytic activity （92%） in the degradation of methyl orange.

The synthesized chelating silica gels are characterized by DR-UV-VIS- and DRIFT-spectroscopy and are investigated for the sorption of copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II). The molar coverage with chelating agent is determined by elemental analysis and by the development of a molecular coating model.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and humidity sensing property of ZnO nanostructures and ZnO-In(OH)3 nanocomposites

Prism- and raspberry-like ZnO nanoparticles and ZnO-In(OH)(3) nanocomposites were prepared by template free hydrothermal method. XRD investigations and microscopic studies showed that pill-like In(OH)(3) particles with body-centered cubic crystal structure formed on the surface of ZnO nanoparticles resulting in increased specific surface area. TEM-EDX mapping images demonstrated that not only nanocomposite formation took place in the course of the synthesis, but zinc ions were also built into the crystal lattice of the In(OH)(3). However, only undoped In(OH)(3) was found on the surface of the pill-like particle aggregates by XPS analyses. The raspberry- and prism-like ZnO particles exhibit strong visible emission with a maximum at 585 and 595 nm, respectively, whose intensity significantly increase due to nanocomposite formation. Photoelectric investigations revealed that photocurrent intensity decreased with increasing indium ion concentration during UV light excitation, which was explained by increase in visible fluorescence emission. QCM measurements showed that morphology of ZnO and concentration of In(OH)(3) had an influence on the water vapor sensing properties.     

The effect of surface properties on visible luminescence of nanosized colloidal ZnO membranes

Luminescence properties of nanosized zinc oxide (ZnO) colloids depend greatly on their surface properties, which are in turn largely determined by the method of preparation. ZnO nanoparticles in the size range from 3 to 9 nm were prepared by addition of tetramethylammonium hydroxide ((CH3)4NOH) to an ethanolic zinc acetate solution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates nanocrystalline ZnO membranes with polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure. The ZnO membranes have a strong visible-emission intensity and the intensity depends upon hydrolysis time. The infrared spectra imply a variety of forms of zinc acetate complexes present on the surface of ZnO particles. The effect of the ZnO membrane surface properties on photoluminescence is discussed.     

Luminescence Property and Synthesis of Sulfur-doped ZnO Nanowires by Electrochemical Deposition

"Sulfur-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires were successfully synthesized by an electric field-assisted electrochemical deposition in porous anodized aluminum oxide template at room temperature. The structure, morphology, chemical composition and photoluminescence properties of the as-synthesized ZnO:S nanostructures were investigated. X-ray diffraction and the selected area electron diffraction results reveal that the as-ynthesized products are single phase with hexagonal wurtzite structure with a highly preferential orientation in the (101) direction. Transmission electron microscopy observations indicate that the nanowires are niform with an average diameter of 70 nm and length up to several tens of micrometers. X-ray photoelectron pectroscopy further reveals the presence of S in the ZnO nanowires. Room-temperature photoluminescences observed in the sulfur-doped ZnO nanowires which exhibits strong near-band-edge ultraviolet peaks at 378 and 392 nm and weak green emissions at 533 and 507 nm. A blue emission at 456 nm and violet emissions at around 406, 420, and 434 nm were also observed in the PL spectrum for the as-synthesized ZnO:S nanowires. The PL spectrum shows that S-doping had an obvious effect on the luminescence property of typical ZnO nanowires."
