反蛋白石结构的g-C3N4可控合成及其优异的光催化产氢性能

The growing frustration from facing energy shortages and unbalanced environmental issues has obstructed the long-term development of human society. Semiconductor-based photocatalysis, such as water splitting, transfers solar energy to storable chemical energy and is widely considered an economic and clean solution. Although regarded as a promising photocatalyst, the low specific surface area of g-C₃N₄ crucially restrains its photocatalytic performance. The macro-mesoporous architecture provides effective channels for mass transfer and full-light utilization and improved the efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction. Herein, g-C₃N₄ with an inverse opal (IO) structure was rationally fabricated using a well-packed SiO₂ template, which displayed an ultrahigh surface area (450.2 m²·g^-1) and exhibited a higher photocatalytic H₂ evolution rate (21.22 μmol·h^-1), almost six times higher than that of bulk g-C₃N₄ (3.65 μmol·h^-1). The IO g-C₃N₄ demonstrates better light absorption capacity than bulk g-C₃N₄, primarily in the visible spectra range, owing to the multiple light scattering effect of the three-dimensional (3D) porous structure. Meanwhile, a lower PL intensity, longer emission lifetime, smaller Nyquist semicircle, and stronger photocurrent response (which synergistically give rise to the suppressed recombination of charge carriers) decrease the interfacial charge transfer resistance and boost the formation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the existing N vacancies intensify the local electron density, helping increase the number of photoexcitons. The N₂ adsorption-desorption test revealed the existence of ample mesopores and macropores and high specific surface area in IO g-C₃N₄, which exposes more active edges and catalytic sites. Optical behavior, electron paramagnetic resonance, and electrochemical characterization results revealed positive factors, including enhanced light utilization, improved photogenerated charge separation, prolonged lifetime, and fortified IO g-C₃N₄ with excellent photocatalytic performance. This work provides an important contribution to the structural design and property modulation of photocatalysts.      

利用二氧化硅欧泊模板合成三维多孔金属镍

金属镍在高效催化剂、传感器、导电浆料、高密度磁记录材料、高性能电极材料等领域具有广阔的应用前景,在材料科学和凝聚态物理领域引起了广泛的研究兴趣。多孔金属镍结构由金属镍骨架及孔隙所组成,与致密块体镍相比,其内部具有大量的孔隙,因而具有诸多优异的特性,如密度小、比表面积大、光学性能优异等。多孔金属镍可用来制作过滤器、催化剂及催化剂载体、多孔电极等[1]。1987年Yablonovitch[2]和John[3]几乎同时提出了光子晶体这一新概念和新材料。构成三维模板的途径之一是在液体中自组装成具有光波量级的单分散胶体微球——胶体晶体,这…

Photonic band effects in three dimensional lattices of macroscopic-sized dielectric spheres derived from microwave transmission spectroscopy

Several structures of dielectric spheres (glass) have been arranged and the electromagnetic absorption properties of the resulting materials have been measured in the microwave domain. In all cases strong rejected bands are present while keeping nearly transparent for other frequencies. The physical origin of the observed bands is studied by recording the spectra of the materials as they are grown layer by layer. These data show the appearance of a peak attributed to Bragg scattering generated by the spheres layers. Besides, higher order bands are developed over the resonances that are found even in the single layer of spheres. These are caused by a complex interaction of isolated sphere Mie modes and Bragg scattering in planes perpendicular (or nearly) to the incident radiation.     

金属有机化学气相沉积法在欧泊空隙中生长磷化铟的影响因素

制备磷化铟(InP)反欧泊三维光子晶体的关键是提高InP在欧泊空隙中的填充率。使用低压金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)系统在人工欧泊空隙中生长了InP晶体,分析了影响InP在欧泊空隙中填充的因素及确定了InP的最佳生长条件。实验和理论分析的结果较为符合。磷化铟在人工欧泊空隙中的填充率越高,二氧化硅球和空隙间的折射率差越大,人工欧泊光子晶体光学性能的变化就越显著;周期生长、低压、使用和InP失配小的衬底以及异质同构现象有助于InP在欧泊空隙中的填充。在优化的生长条件下制备了填充率较高的SiO₂-InP光子晶体。研究结果为制备InP反欧泊结构积累了有益的经验。     

Photo- and Thermobleaching of Luminescence Centers in Synthetic Opals

It has been found that on exposure of specimens of synthetic opal to UV radiation, luminescence is excited in them (337 nm) that has spectral maxima at 400 and 500 nm. Its duration at half-height of a pulse is 9 nsec, and there is a weak slow component with τ ∼ 1 μsec. The spectrum and intensity of the luminescence depend on the duration of irradiation and temperature. The luminescence bands revealed relate to two individual luminescence centers, namely: the shortwave one, caused by the luminescence centers formed in the bulk of the opal, and the longwave one, due to those formed on the opal surface. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 5, pp. 622–626, September–October, 2005.

It is shown that the SRS threshold in such structures decreases with respect to the SRS threshold in Raman active bulk materials. The influence of the photonic-band structure of the active materials used on the SRS properties is estimated.     

利用局域光效应增强全光谱光催化的ZnO/PVDF反蛋白石结构薄膜

随着环境污染与能源危机的问题日益严重,利用清洁能源太阳能的光催化技术得到了研究者的广泛关注.然而,半导体光催化剂的带隙严重限制了其利用整个太阳光谱的能力.尽管通过能带工程、上转换等技术,已经有部分可见光可以被利用,但其本身的效率却并不高.太阳光谱中的近红外光有着显著的光热效应,可提高光催化反应的温度,促进光生载流子的分离,进而提升光催化的效果.光子晶体是一种周期性结构,通过调节其折射率以及孔径大小,可以对不同波段的光实现增强吸收或反射的效果.人们已制备了二氧化钛的反蛋白石结构用于光催化降解污染物,其光催化效率明显提高.但是,通过利用反蛋白石结构光子晶体增强近红外光的吸收,进而实现全光谱利用的光热协同催化目前还未有报道.本文以二氧化硅单分散微球为模板,制备了以苯胺黑-聚偏氟乙烯为基底、氧化锌为光催化剂的反蛋白石结构光子晶体薄膜,采用扫描电镜、XRD和XPS等技术表征了薄膜的结构,并通过透射光谱与镜面反射光谱验证了苯胺黑的加入可增强全光谱的利用率.结果发现,当苯胺黑掺量为0.5%时,微反应器中的薄膜温度在60 min内上升了13.6℃,而空气中的薄膜温度在2 min内升了24.5℃,表明苯胺黑在近红外光生热中起着重要作用.对比普通薄膜,Z0.5A-369在微反应器与空气中的温度分别提升了14.7和26.8℃,证实了光子晶体对于光谱吸收的增强效应.就光催化性能来看,Z0.5A-369比普通薄膜的效率提高了1.63倍,而微反应器也比普通反应器提升了5.85倍.可见,薄膜和反应器的设计实现了协同催化.光热协同光催化发现,利用近红外光的光热效应来提高光催化反应过程中的温度可有效促进光催化反应,是一种高效利用太阳光谱的方法.光子晶体因其多孔结构、高比表面积、限光效应和慢光效应而增强了对光的吸收,进一步提高了光催化效率.另外,微反应器通过其局域的热效应和缩短的传质路径有效地增加了反应速率.     

Optical monitoring the degradation of PLGA inverse opal film

Implantable materials have broad applications in tissue engineering and in vivo sensors.It is essential to know the detailed information of the implantable materials during their degradation.In this paper,we developed a method to monitor the degradation process of a well-used biomaterial,poly(lactide-coglycolide) (PLGA) by taking advantage of inverse opal structure.We found that mass loss,molecular weight and glass transition temperature of PLGA during the degradation process in Hank’s artificial body fluid can be in situ monitored by measuring the optical properties of PLGA inverse opal.
