金纳米粒子单层膜表面SPR催化反应的原位SERS研究

表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）基底的活性和均匀性是其SERS应用研究的关键,通过气-液两相界面自发组装的方式及控制组装的时间可制备致密性不同的金纳米粒子单层膜（Au MLF）.由于疏松和致密基底表面的LSPR产生的方式和强度不同导致SERS增强效应和均匀性两者无法同时兼顾,通常得到局域表面等离激元共振（SERS）增强性能及表面等离激元共振（SPR）催化性能优异但均匀性欠佳的疏松基底,或SERS增强性能与SPR催化性能中等但均匀性优越的致密基底.研究表明SERS增强效应的提高与粒子密度增加和“热点”活性增加有关,而SPR催化转化率仅与“热点”活性有关.本文以致密的Au MLF为基底,以对巯基苯胺（PATP）和对巯基苯甲酸（MBA）为探针分子系统研究了激光功率对SPR催化反应效率的影响,研究发现激光功率提高可显著提升PATP偶联反应及MBA脱羧反应的转化率.同时发现后者脱羧反应的速率与激光功率平方的倒数成线性关系,为相关表面过程的动力学参数测定提供了新的途径.

Electrochemical fabrication of two-dimensional palladium nanostructures as substrates for surface enhanced Raman scattering

Two-dimensional palladium (Pd) nanostructures have been fabricated by electrochemical deposition of Pd onto an indium tin oxide glass substrate modified with a thin flat film of polypyrrole or a nanofibril film of polyaniline. The experimental results demonstrated that the morphology of Pd nanoparticles strongly depended on the properties of conducting polymers and the conditions of electrochemical deposition. Two-dimensional nanostructures composed of flower-like (consisting of staggered nanosheets) or pinecone-like Pd nanoparticles were successfully synthesized. They can be used as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering after partly decomposing the polymer components by heating in air, and the enhancement factor of the substrate composed of flower-like Pd nanoparticles was measured to be as high as 105 for 4-mercaptopyridine.     

Polymer-Based Superhydrophobic Coating Fabricated from Polyelectrolyte Multilayers of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and Poly(acrylic acid)

Superhydrophobic films mainly based on poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) polyelectrolyte multilayer have been deposited onto cleaned glass substrate by a layer-by-layer dip coating method. 3 bilayers of the PAH and PAA was directly coated onto the substrate as an underlying layer for subsequent coating. Desired surface roughness on the polyelectrolyte bilayers was created by etching the bilayers in hydrochloric acid solution so as to create the open pore having suitable size at the surface. Then, nanoparticles such as SiO₂ and TiO₂ of various sizes were deposited onto the etched polyelectrolyte bilayers. Finally, the surfaces were further modified with semifluorinated silane followed by cross-linking at 180 °C for 2 h to obtain desirable surface morphological features. The effect of etching time and addition of nanoparticles on surface morphology was investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM). Wetting ability of the prepared film was determined by measuring water droplet contact angle using a goniometer. Adhesion between the superhydrophobic films and the substrate was evaluated by using a standard tape test method (D3359). The adhesion was improved by reducing the organic content in the films.     

Synthesis and assembly of ultrathin film of Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles at gas/liquid interface, its high electrocatalytical oxidation toward bio-thiols and selective determination of cysteine

A facile strategy was reported to synthesize and assemble a stable ultrathin film of Ni(OH)₂ nanoparticles at gas/liquid interface where the aqueous phase contained Ni²⁺ and the organic phase was composed of triethylamine toluene solution. The ultrathin film of Ni(OH)₂ nanoparticles that precipitated at the interface was transferred onto the electrode surface for the electrocatalysis of bio-thiols and selective electroanalysis of cysteine. The preparation of Ni(OH)₂ ultrathin film and its transfer to an electrode substrate is very simple. The obtained Ni(OH)₂ ultrathin film modified electrodes are stable, showing high electrochemical oxidation toward bio-thiols and good selectivity toward cysteine in phosphate buffered solution of pH 7.5.     

Characterization of gas-expanded liquid-deposited gold nanoparticle films on substrates of varying surface energy

Dodecanethiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were deposited via a gas-expanded liquid (GXL) technique utilizing CO(2)-expanded hexane onto substrates of different surface energy. The different surface energies were achieved by coating silicon (100) substrates with various organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Following the deposition of AuNP films, the films were characterized to determine the effect of substrate surface energy on nanoparticle film deposition and growth. Interestingly, the critical surface tension of a given substrate does not directly describe nanoparticle film morphology. However, the results in this study indicate a shift between layer-by-layer and island film growth based on the critical surface tension of the capping ligand. Additionally, the fraction of surface area covered by the AuNP film decreases as the oleophobic nature of the surfaces increases. On the basis of this information, the potential exists to engineer nanoparticle films with desired morphologies and characteristics.
