Preparation of Na+-selective electrodes by ion-implantation of lithium and silicon into single-crystal alumina wafer and its application to the production of ISFET

Summary Sodium ion-selective electrodes (Na⁺-ISE) were prepared by implanting Si⁺ and Li⁺ into alumina wafers and their characteristics were investigated. The alumina wafer had a thickness of 100 m and a diameter of 1.40 cm. The ionselective membrane was produced by ion-implanting of Li⁺ and Si⁺ on both sides of a single-crystal alumina wafer. The total doses of Li⁺ and Si⁺ were controlled to be the same, viz. 10¹³–10¹⁵ ions/cm². The ion-implanted alumina wafer with 10¹⁴ or 4×10¹⁴ ions/cm² of Li⁺ and Si⁺ showed better characteristics than the others.The response curves of the 10¹⁴ ions/cm² implanted alumina wafer had a slope of 42 mV/pNa in a concentration range from 1–10^–4mol/l. The full response achieved after about 1 min was reproducible. The proposed idea of producing Na⁺-ISE by ion-implantation technique was applied to functuate the gate surface of the field effect transitor to sodium ion. The sodium ion-sensitive FET (Na⁺-ISFET) prepared by implanting Li⁺ and Al⁺ at a dose of 5×10¹⁴ ions/cm² showed a slope of 30 mV/pNa in a concentration range from 1–10^–4mol/l.

Zusammenfassung Na⁺-selektive Elektroden wurden durch Einbau von Si⁺ und Li⁺ in Aluminiumoxidblättchen hergestellt und ihre Charakteristiken untersucht. Die Blättchen hatten eine Dicke von 100 m und einen Durchmesser von 1,40 cm. Ebenso wurde die Membran für einen ISFET hergestellt. Die Gesamtmenge von Li⁺ und Si⁺ wurde auf 10¹³–10¹⁵ Ionen/cm² eingestellt, wobei sich bei 10¹⁴ oder 4×10¹⁴ Ionen/cm² die beste Charakteristik ergab.Die Responsekurven der mit 10¹⁴ Ionen/cm² versehenen Aluminiumoxidplättchen hatten eine Neigung von 42 mV/pNa in einem Konzentrationsbereich von 1–10^–4mol/l. Der nach 1 min erhaltene volle Response war reproduzierbar. Die vorgeschlagene Technik wurde zur Einstellung der Gate-Oberfläche des Feldeffekt-Transistors auf Natriumion benutzt.

Progress in optimization of transition metal cation chromatography and its application to analysis of silicon wafer contamination

Methods are reported which yield sensitive semi-quantitative analysis of transition metal contaminants on silicon wafers. An effective extracting solution is proposed together with compatible concentrators and two eluent (column and post-column) chemistry combinations to measure ppt (10(12)) concentrations and surface densities extending into the 10(10) atoms per cm2 range. Possible applications include numerous steps in wafer and integrated circuit manufacture as well as other solid-surface analysis.     

Promotion of the oxidation of carbon monoxide at stepped platinum single-crystal electrodes in alkaline media by lithium and beryllium cations

The role of alkali cations (Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Cs(+), and Be(2+)) on the blank voltammetric response and the oxidative stripping of carbon monoxide from stepped Pt single-crystal electrodes in alkaline media has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. A strong influence of the nature of the cation on both the blank voltammetric profile and the CO oxidation is observed and related to the influence of the cation on the specific adsorption of OH on the platinum surface. Especially Li(+) and Be(2+) cations markedly affect the adsorption of OH and thereby have a significant promoting effect on CO(ads) oxidation. The voltammetric experiments suggest that, on Pt(111), the influence of Li(+) (and Be(2+)) is primarily through a weakening of the repulsive interactions between the OH in the OH adlayer, whereas in the presence of steps also, the onset of OH adsorption is at a lower potential, both on steps and on terraces.

Preparation and lithium storage performance of silicon and carbon microrods by chemical vapor co-deposition

Silicon/carbon microrods are co-deposited on copper substrate and graphite spheres surface using dimethyl dichlorosilance as carbon and silicon precursor. The obtained composites are characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that silicon/carbon microrods deposited on the copper substrate, whose diameter is about 500 nm, are accumulated into sisallike morphology, those deposited on the graphite spheres surface form hedgehog-like feature, whose diameter is about 200 nm and whose top is like cauliflower. When current density of 50 mA/g is applied, charge capacity of silicon/carbon microrods is 1492 mA h/g (deposited on copper substrate) and 693 mA h/g (deposited on the graphite spheres surface). Moreover, silicon/carbon microrods deposited on the graphite spehres and copper substrate respectively deliver the capacity of 592, 985 mA h/g, and display no capacity decay at all after the 20 cycles, when cycled under current density of 500 mA/g.     

Preparation of alumina by sol-gel process,its structures and properties

Alumina monolithic gel has been prepared by ammonia method from anhydrous aluminium chloride and n-butanol using formamide as the solvent. The gel has been made by hydrochloric acid catalysis and using large quantity of water for hydrolysis (molar ratio of water to aluminium-n-butoxide, R>99). Transparent alumina xerogel of size 37.5×20×5 mm approximately has been prepared. The alumina gel has been dried and sintered at 400°C, 1000°C and 1200°C respectively and the powders formed thereby have been examined by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM and particle size analysis. These studies have confirmed the formation of -alumina at 1200°C having particle size as low as 0.2 m or less along with agglomerates. The density of the powder has increased gradually, where as its particle size has decreased, with the increase of the sintering temperature.     

Large-scale synthesis of single-crystal hexagonal tungsten trioxide nanowires and electrochemical lithium intercalation into the nanocrystals

Single-crystal nanowires of hexagonal tungsten trioxide in a large scale have been successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal method without any templates and catalysts. Uniform h-WO₃ nanowires with diameter of 25-50 nm and length of up to several micrometers are obtained. It is found that the morphology and crystal form of the final products are strongly dependent on the amount of the sulfate and pH value of the reaction system. The electrochemical performances of the as-prepared h-WO₃ nanowires as anodic materials of Li-ion batteries have also been investigated. It deliveres a discharge capacity of 218 mAh g⁻¹ for the first cycle. In addition, the cycle ability of the nanocrystals is superior to that of bulk materials, which implies the morphology and particle size have the influence on the electrochemical performances.     

Preparation of mesocellular carbon foam and its application for lithium/oxygen battery

A mesocellular carbon foam (MCF-C) was prepared by nanocasting technology using mesocellular foam (MCF) silica hard template. The obtained carbon sample exhibits bimodal mesopores with narrow pore size distribution, centered at 4.3 and 30.4 nm. The MCF-C was evaluated as positive electrode in lithium/oxygen battery. It showed a higher discharge capacity, about 40% increased capacity compared to several commercial carbon black. The enhanced performance is probably ascribed to their large pore volumes and ultra-large mesoporous structures, which allow more lithium oxide deposit during discharge process.

In this work, total atomic scattering factors for the ground states of the lithium isoelectronic sequence are calculated by using the full core plus correlation wave function. For the ground state of the lithium atom, our results are compared with the previous theoretical values in the literature; the influence of electron correlation on total atomic scattering factors is analyzed systematically and our results agree with previous configuration interaction calculations very well. For the ground states of the lithium isoelectronic sequence from Na8+ to Ca17+, the general functional behavior of total atomic scattering factors is analyzed together for each state of the isoelectronic sequence.
