MOFs自牺牲模板法制备ZnO及其对NO2的气敏性能

以硝酸锌和2,5-二羟基对苯二甲酸为原料,采用溶剂热法制备了Zn-MOF-74,并利用MOFs自牺牲模板法制备了ZnO纳米材料。利用热重-差示扫描量热法(TG-DSC)、X射线衍射(XRD)、红外光谱测试(FT-IR)、X射线光电子能谱测试(XPS)、氮气吸附-脱附、扫描电镜(SEM)和高倍透射电镜(HRTEM)等方法对合成的样品进行了结构表征。研究了煅烧温度对产物结构、形貌和组成的影响,以及材料的气敏传感性能。结果表明,450℃煅烧Zn-MOF-74制备的六方柱状介孔氧化锌(ZnO450)是由直径约为20 nm的粒子组成的纳米片堆叠形成的,表面残留部分有机官能团,且吸附氧含量明显高于350和550℃处理的样品。基于ZnO450的气敏传感器选择性响应NO_2气体,对100 mL·m~(-3)的NO_2气体响应值达到了77.40,是所测试的其他气体响应值的6～105倍,检出限为0.1 mL·m~(-3);并且在有SO_2等气体共存时,对NO_2的响应值基本不变,抗干扰能力强。该传感器对NO_2优异的响应能力是由于材料表面吸附氧含量高、比表面积及孔径较大,这些有利于NO_2的吸附、表面反应和扩散。     

Improvement of femtosecond SPPs imaging by two-color laser photoemission electron microscopy

Clear imaging of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is a prerequisite for SPPs-based applications. In this work, we demonstrate an improvement of near-field imaging of SPPs via directly comparing the visibility of the photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) image of SPPs under one- and two-color laser excitation (also known as one- or two-color laser PEEM). By measuring the photoelectron yield and the contrast of the interference fringes of SPPs, we demonstrate that in addition to enhancing the photoemission yield, two-color laser PEEM can significantly improve the contrast between bright and dark fringes (nearly 4 times higher than that of one-color laser case). By recording the nonlinear order of the photoelectrons ejected from the bright and dark fringes, respectively, the underlying mechanism for the improved visibility is revealed. In addition, the influences of the polarization direction of 400-nm laser on the PEEM images of the SPPs with different wave vector directions are shown. These results can provide technical support for the development of SPPs-based communication devices and catalysis.     

Two-color laser PEEM imaging of horizontal and vertical components of femtosecond surface plasmon polaritons

Explicit visualization of different components of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating at dielectric/metal interfaces is crucial in offering chances for the detailed design and control of the functionalities of plasmonic nanodevices in the future. Here, we reported independent imaging of the vertical and horizontal components of SPPs launched from a rectangular trench in the gold film by a 400-nm laser-assisted near-infrared (NIR) femtosecond laser time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (TR-PEEM). The experiments demonstrate that distinct imaging of different components of SPPs field can be easily achieved by introducing the 400-nm laser. It can circumvent the risk of sample damage and information loss of excited SPPs field that is generally confronted in the usual NIR laser TR-PEEM scheme. The underlying mechanism for realizing distinct imaging of different components of the SPPs field with two-color PEEM is revealed via measuring the double logarithmic dependence of photoemission yield with the 800-nm and 400-nm pulse powers of different polarizations. Moreover, it is found that the PEEM image quality of the vertical and horizontal components of the SPPs field is nearly independent of the 400-nm pulse polarization. These results pave a way for SPPs-based applications and offer a possible solution for drawing a space—time field of SPPs in three dimensions.
