用化学气相沉积法(CVD)在Si(100)衬底上以Ag纳米颗粒为催化剂制备了微纳米结构的GaN,原料是熔融态的金属Ga和气态的NH3。采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、透射电镜(TEM)、X-ray能谱仪(EDS)、场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、光致发光能谱(PL)和霍尔效应测试对样品进行了结构、成分、形貌和发光、电学性能分析。结果表明:生成的自组装GaN为六方纤锌矿的类似小梯子的微纳米单晶结构,且在不同的温度下,GaN的发光性能和电学性能也有所不同,相对于强的紫外发光峰,其它杂质发光峰很微弱,且均呈p型导电。对本实验所得到的GaN微纳米结构的可能形成机理进行了探讨。     

有序Au/Ag纳米碗阵列的简易制备及其表面增强拉曼散射性能

通过湿法化学合成基于SiO₂胶体晶体的大面积有序Au/Ag纳米碗(Au/AgNB)阵列。首先,在玻璃基板上以3D SiO₂胶体晶体作为模板。然后,在Au纳米颗粒(AuNP)种子的帮助下,通过原位生长方法在模板上沉积一层Au纳米壳(AuNS)。再通过HCHO还原Ag⁺使AuNS表面进一步沉积Ag纳米壳,形成Ag/Au双纳米壳(Ag/AuNS)阵列。通过丙烯酸酯改性双向取向聚丙烯(BOPP)方便地获得了单层有序反转Ag/AuNB阵列。这种有序Au/AgNB阵列具有更佳的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)活性,其SERS分析增强因子(AEF)可达2.23×10⁷。     

Ag/ZnO/ZnSe三元异质结的合成及其可见光光催化性能

以Ag纳米线为模板,通过两步水浴法合成了Ag/ZnO/ZnSe三元异质结光催化材料。利用场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)、X射线能谱仪(EDS)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)以及透射电子显微镜(FETEM)对样品的形貌和结构进行了表征。结果显示,Ag/ZnO/ZnSe三元异质结为蠕虫状的Ag/ZnO二元异质结外镶嵌着ZnSe小颗粒。在可见光下,对比纯Ag纳米线、纯ZnO纳米球、Ag/ZnO异质结对罗丹明B的可见光降解效率,结果发现Ag/ZnO/ZnSe异质结表现出了更高的光催化效率。其光催化性能的提高主要是由于Ag/ZnO/ZnSe异质结的作用促使电子空穴对的分离,降低了电子空穴对的复合机率,从而提高了材料的光催化效率。     

Photocatalytic performance of Ag doped SnO2 nanoparticles modified with curcumin

Visible light active Ag doped SnO₂ nanoparticles modified with curcumin (Cur–Ag–SnO₂) have been prepared by a combined precipitation and chemical impregnation route. The optical properties, phase structures and morphologies of the as-prepared nanoparticles were characterized using UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV–vis-DRS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface area was measured by Brunauer. Emmett. Teller (B.E.T) analysis. Compared to bare SnO₂, the surface modified photocatalysts (Ag–SnO₂ and Cur–Ag–SnO₂) showed a red shift in the visible region. The photocatalytic activity was monitored via the degradation of rose bengal (RB) dye and the results revealed that Cur–Ag–SnO₂ shows better photocatalytic activity than that of Ag–SnO₂ and SnO₂. The superior photocatalytic activity of Cur–Ag–SnO₂ could be attributed to the effective electron-hole separation by surface modification. The effect of photocatalyst concentration, initial dye concentration and electron scavenger on the photocatalytic activity was examined in detail. Furthermore, the antifungal activity of the photocatalysts and the reusability of Cur–Ag–SnO₂ were tested.     

Focused-ion-beam-fabricated Au nanorods coupled with Ag nanoparticles used as surface-enhanced Raman scattering-active substrate for analyzing trace melamine constituents in solution

A well-ordered Au-nanorod array with a controlled tip ring diameter (Au_NRs_d) was fabricated using the focused ion beam method. Au_NRs_d was then coupled with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to bridge the gaps among Au nanorods. The effect of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) on Au_NRs_d and Ag NPs/Au_NRs_d was particularly verified using crystal violet (CV) as the molecular probe. Raman intensity obtained from a characteristic peak of CV on Au_NRs_d was estimated by an enhancement factor of ≈10⁷ in magnitude, which increased ≈10¹² in magnitude for that on Ag NPs/Au_NRs_d. A highly SERS-active Ag NPs/Au_NRs_d was furthermore applied for the detection of melamine (MEL) at very low concentrations. Raman-active peaks of MEL (10⁻³ to 10⁻¹² M) in water or milk solution upon Au_NRs_d or Ag NPs/Au_NRs_d were well distinguished. The peaks at 680 and 702 cm⁻¹ for MEL molecules were found suitable to be used as the index for sensing low-concentration MEL in a varied solution, while that at 1051 cm⁻¹ was practical to interpret MEL molecules in water or milk solution bonded with Au (i.e., Au_NRs_d) or Ag (i.e., Ag NPs/Au_NRs_d) surface. At the interface of Ag NPs/Au_NRs_d and MEL molecules in milk solution, a laser-induced electromagnetic field or hotspot effect was produced and competent to sense low-concentration MEL molecules interacting with Ag and Au surfaces. Accordingly, Ag NPs/Au_NRs_d is very promising to be used as a fast and sensitive tool for screening MEL in complex matrices such as adulteration in e.g., food and pharmaceutical products.     

Resonance Raman spectroscopy studies on photoinduced AgTCNQF4 charge transfer and its electrical switching behavior

The photoinduced charge transfer (CT) phenomenon of a metal–organic complex, Ag ion‐coordinated tetrafluorotetracyano‐p‐quinodimethane (AgTCNQF₄), produced by a solution reaction of immersing an Ag deposited film into TCNQF₄ acetonitrile solution, was studied by the resonance Raman spectroscopy. The produced AgTCNQF₄ formed abundant crystalline microrods over the slide. The analysis of Raman results shows that the photoinduced CT in the AgTCNQF₄ microrods possesses a light energy threshold that the excitation wavelengths should be shorter than 514 nm. And the complete degree of CT reaction from TCNQF₄⁻ to TCNQF₄²⁻ accelerates with the irradiation energy increasing. A divalent metal–organic complex (Ag₂TCNQF₄) is produced as a result of the photoinduced electron transition of AgTCNQF₄. The conductive‐atomic force microscope characterization of the AgTCNQF₄ microrods proves that this metal–organic complex possesses the reversible electrical bistable switching property. This study is of significance in deeper understanding the electrical and optical properties of such kinds of metal–organic CT complexes and promoting the promising application potential based on the light and electric dual control devices.

基于L-Cys@Ag分析吲哚美辛的表面增强拉曼光谱

联合紫外、拉曼光谱及其在L-半胱氨酸/银传感器(L-Cys@Ag)的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)光谱表征吲哚美辛, 并与固体吲哚美辛的常规拉曼光谱(NRS)进行对比, 发现L-Cys@Ag对吲哚美辛有明显拉曼信号放大, 但其特征峰几乎不产生位移。研究不同酸碱环境下, L-Cys@Ag的吸附模型, 分析吲哚美辛在L-Cys@Ag上的拉曼光谱和SERS光谱, 归属拉曼特征峰。结果显示, L-半胱氨酸与银主要以Ag-S键的方式形成稳定吸附, 但是中性和碱性条件时-COO-也会吸附到银表面。结果表明: 半胱氨酸中的氨基与吲哚美辛中的羧基氧、苯环中的π电子发生吸附, 整体能量下降, 使结构更加稳定。加入牛血清白蛋白(BSA)后, pH为5时, SERS强度明显减弱。在pH为7和9时, N-H伸缩振动和酰胺Ⅱ振动明显增强, 吲哚美辛的苯环和吲哚环的特征峰振动消失。其原因是吲哚美辛的苯环和吲哚环进攻BSA后, 吲哚美辛特征振动消失, 但是吲哚美辛中的氮, 羰基与BSA中氨基吸附, 使得C-N和-COO-的SERS信号稳定。这为将来吲哚美辛以及相关非淄体消炎药的改良和新药的研究提供了可靠的鉴别和分析方法。     

Surface plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles in the vicinity of a high impedance surface

Surface Plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles in the vicinity of a high impedance surface is investigated. Mushroom-like nanostructures were vertically grown on silicon substrate to form a high impedance surface operating in the range of optical frequencies. Formation of Ag nanoparticles on the fabricated high impedance surface was realized using plasma bombardment process. Optical measurements show an enhancement in the surface plasmon resonances of Ag nanoparticles. Also it was shown that the plasmon resonance peak of the Ag nanoparticles shifts to blue when Ag nanoparticles approach to the high impedance surface.     

Fabrication of Ag/TiO2 nanotube array with enhanced photo-catalytic degradation of aqueous organic pollutant

In this paper, the fabrication of Ag/TiO₂ nanotube arrays and their photo-catalytic activity have been studied. The SEM, TEM and XRD were performed to characterize the morphology and crystalline phase of the TiO₂ nanotube array and Ag/TiO₂ nanotube array. Ag nanoparticles with different loadings, which are aimed to suppress the electron–hole recombination so as to enhance the photo-catalytic oxidation efficiency, were systematically coated onto TiO₂ nanotubes. The photo-catalytic activity of these nano-materials was evaluated by the degradation of two different pollutants: methyl orange and glyphosate. The effects of various parameters, such as the amount of the photo-catalyst, the illumination time, and pH value on the photo-catalytic oxidation activity, were studied.
