We report the possible mechanism of forming of CdSe nanocrystals in the high boiling point solvents with long alkane chains and a novel Non-TOP-Based route to zinc-blende CdSe nanocrystals. A new mechanism shows that there exits a redox reaction in the long alkane chain solvents: Se is reduced to H2Se gas; at the same time, the long alkane chains are oxidated to alkene chains; then, the Cd complex reacts with H2Se to form CdSe nanocrystals. Possible chemical reaction equations involved in the process of forming the CdSe nanocrystals have been discussed. The alkene chain and H2Se were detected respectively by a series of experiments to support the new mechanism. Under the guidance of this mechanism, we have developed a much cheaper and greener Non-TOP-Based route for the synthesis of a size series of high-quality zinc-blende (cubic) CdSe nanocrystals. Low-cost, green, and environmentally friendlier reagents are used, without use of expensive solvents such as trioctylphosphine (TOP) or tributylphosphine (TBP). The new route enables us to achieve high-quality CdSe nanocrystals with sharp ultraviolet and visible (UV-vis) absorption peaks, controllable size (2.0-5.0 nm), bright photoluminescence (PL), narrow PL full width of half-maximum (fwhm) (29-48 nm), and high PL quantum yield (up to 60%) without any size sorting. 相似文献

Organic-capped ZnO nanocrystals: synthesis and n-type character. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Wurtzite ZnO nanocrystals capped with trioctylphosphine oxide or alkylamines are synthesized and characterized. These ZnO nanocrystals can be made n-type either by electron transfer doping from reducing species in solution or by above band gap photoexcitation with a UV lamp. The n-type nanocrystals exhibit a strong intraband infrared absorption, an extensive bleach of the interband band-edge absorption, and a complete quenching of the photoluminescence. 相似文献

Aqueous dispersions of highly stable, redispersible silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using gamma radiolysis with gum acacia as a protecting agent. The formation of nanosized silver was confirmed by its characteristic surface plasmon absorption peak at around 405 nm in UV–vis spectra. The size of the silver nanoparticles can be tuned by controlling the radiation dose, ratio of gum acacia to silver ions and also the ionic strength of the medium. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement of the as-synthesized nanoparticles indicated the size less than 3 nm at higher dose of radiation and this also corroborated the size measurement from the width of the corresponding X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak. The face centered cubic (fcc) crystallinity of the nanoparticles was evident from XRD and high resolution transmission electron microscopic (HRTEM) measurements. Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopic data indicate a bonding of Ag NPs with COO? group of acacia through bridging bidentate linkage. 相似文献

A novel route to the rational fabrication of narrow one-dimensional ZnO nanocrystals with perpendicular side facets is demonstrated in alcoholic solutions. The synthesis involves no-template or no-substrate solution method, which still allows the oriented growth of ZnO nanostructures at large-scale, low-cost, and moderate temperatures. The management consists of monitoring of the nucleation, growth, and aging processes by means of chemical and solvent control of the interfacial free energy. It enables the control of the size of nano-, meso-, and microcrystallites with various aspects from cubes to rods, wires, and belts. 相似文献

Colloidal synthesis of organic-capped ZnO nanocrystals via a sequential reduction-oxidation reaction
A nonhydrolytic route to quantum-sized (d < 9 nm) ZnO nanocrystals in homogeneous organic solutions is presented. Nearly spherical ZnO nanocrystals were grown in a surfactant mixture of hexadecylamine and oleic acid (OLEA) by means of a two-step chemical process, based on the hot reduction (at 180-250 degrees C) of a zinc halide by superhydride (LiBEt3H) followed by oxidation of the resulting product. The experimental results suggested that the controlled growth of ZnO in the nanosized regime depended both on the OLEA-assisted generation of intermediate metallic nanoparticles and on the adjustment of their oxidation conditions by using a mild oxidant, trimethylamine-N-oxide, rather than molecular oxygen. The present synthetic approach demonstrates to be particularly suitable to prepare organic-soluble ultra-small ZnO nanocrystals of low size dispersion and of stable size, which are appealing for optoelectronic, catalytic, and sensing purposes. 相似文献

Simple addition of zirconyl propionate to phosphoric acid in alcoholic media surprisingly led to the formation, in few minutes, of transparent gels containing solvent intercalated zirconium phosphate (ZrP) nanoparticles with hexagonal shape and a planar size of about 40 nm. With the help of elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and (31)P magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR, the nanoparticle composition was formulated as Zr(R)(w)(HPO(4))(x)(H(2)PO(4))(y), in which R can be an hydroxyl or a propionate group. The stoichiometric coefficients for propanol intercalated ZrP are x = 1.43, y = 0.83, and w = 0.32. Solvent elimination at 60 °C gave rise to an increase in the x value and a decrease in the y and w values. X-ray powder diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations showed a concomitant increase in the particle size: planar size and thickness ranged from 90 to 200 nm and from 20 to 85 nm, respectively, depending on the nature of the solvent. A possible mechanism explaining the change in the x, y, and w values, the growth of nanoparticles, and the role of the solvent is proposed. Finally, the possibility of using these gels to disperse the ZrP nanoparticles within the polymer matrix of Nafion117 is shown. 相似文献

Long-chain polymer-assisted growth of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures has been investigated in previous research. This kind mild method has lots of merits such as not requiring complex procedures, without template supporting etc. Can the short-chain polymer also be used to grow long nanowires? In the present work, a short-chain polymer (PEG400) was found to promote the formation of 1D ZnO nanostructures, which cannot be obtained by long-chain polymers (such as PEG10000). Moreover, nanowires and nanorods can be selectively synthesized by using short-chain polymers. The influence factors for the formation of 1D ZnO nanostructures were also investigated in detail. The XRD, Raman spectrum, XPS, SEM, TEM, ED, HRTEM, EDXA, and PL spectra have been provided for the characterization of the as-obtained nanowires and nanorods. 相似文献

Hydrothermal route to InAs semiconductor nanocrystals 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Spherical InAs nanocrystals of 30-50 nm were hydrothermally synthesized at 120 degrees C, which showed a 100 meV-blueshift of band gap absorption and phonon confinement of optical vibration mode. The study of hydrothermal formation mechanism indicated that crystalline InAs could be obtained in an extended pH range (approximately -0.15 to 14). 相似文献

Ag/ZnO heterostructure nanocrystals: synthesis, characterization, and photocatalysis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A high yield of the dimer-type heterostructure of Ag/ZnO nanocrystals with different Ag contents is successfully prepared through a simple solvothermal method in the absence of surfactants. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. The results show that all samples are composed of metallic Ag and ZnO; Ag nanoparticles locate on the surface of ZnO nanorods; the binding energy of Ag 3d(5/2) for the Ag/ZnO sample with a Ag content of 5.0 atom % shifts remarkably to the lower binding energy compared with the corresponding value of pure metallic Ag because of the interaction between Ag and ZnO nanocrystals; the concentration of oxygen vacancy for the as-synthesized samples varies with the increasing Ag content, and the Ag/ZnO sample with a Ag content of 5.0 atom % has the largest density of oxygen vacancy. In addition, the relationship between their structure and photocatalytic property is investigated in detail. It is found that the photocatalytic property is closely related to its structure, such as heterostructure, oxygen defect, and crystallinity. The presence of metallic Ag nanoparticles and oxygen vacancy on the surface of ZnO nanorods promotes the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and thus enhances the photocatalytic activity. 相似文献

Using extensive state-of-the-art experiments over a wide range of synthesis parameters, such as the temperature and concentrations of different reactants, we establish qualitatively different growth kinetics for ZnO nanocrystals compared to all growth kinetics of semiconductor nanocrystals, including ZnO, discussed so far in the literature. The growth rate is shown to be strongly dependent on the concentration of (OH)- in an intriguing nonmonotonic manner as well as on temperature and is almost invariably much slower than well-known and generally accepted growth mechanisms based on a diffusion-controlled Ostwald ripening process or that expected in the surface reaction controlled regime. We show that these qualitatively different results arise from the unexpected role played by a part of the reactants by inhibiting rather than facilitating the reaction; we explain this extraordinary result in terms of an effective passivating layer around the growing nanocrystals formed by a virtual capping shell of Na+ ions. 相似文献

Self-organization of ZnO nanoparticles into various superstructures (sheet, platelet, ring) has been achieved with the assistance of micelles formed by surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) under one-pot condition. The CTAB-modified zinc hydroxy double salt (Zn-HDS) mesocrystals act as intermediates to form ZnO hexagonal superstructures at temperatures as low as 50 degrees C. The decomposition temperature of Zn-HDS mesocrystals is much lower than that of the corresponding bulk crystals because the organic additive CTAB effectively decreases the degree of crystallinity. Taking advantage of temperature-induced phase transformation of micelles, two-stage self-organization can form ZnO platelets and ring mesocrystals, that is, ZnO ellipsoidal superstructures formed through vertical attachment on (0001) facets of basic units can further assemble to form ZnO platelets and rings through vertical attachment on (0001) facets of ZnO ellipsoidal superstructures. The structural transformation of micelles as shape templates can offer a new route for self-assembly of nonspherical colloids into three-dimensional photonic crystals. ZnO sheet, ring, and platelet mesocrystals with a high population of polar Zn-(0001) plane are expected to have high photocatalytic activity. 相似文献

Cobalt doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared through simple wet chemical method. X-ray diffraction studies confirm the prepared particles are in wurtzite structure. Scanning Electron Microscopy studies show the shape and morphology of the particles. To identify the presence of cobalt in ZnO, Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis was done. Optical absorption measurements show the presence of exciton peak at 375 nm. Photoluminescence studies were done with the excitation wavelength of 330 nm, which shows the emission because of exciton recombination and oxygen vacancy. 相似文献

ZnO nanocrystals, nanorods, and tablets were prepared at 110, 140, and 180 degrees C in a water-ethanol system. Nanorods (~2 x 40 nm) arranged in serpentine morphologies formed by the oriented coalescence of anhedral ZnO nanocrystals (~3.5 nm diameter), while tabular ZnO grew by [1210] textural attachment of the nanorods. The development of these crystal habits is believed to proceed via a dissolution and growth mechanism mediated by a transient amorphous phase. Materials synthesized at intermediate temperatures (125 and 160 degrees C) possessed microstructures containing mixed crystal forms in the expected orientation relationship. Photoluminescent spectra of the nanocrystals and nanorods showed blue shifts of 0.16 and 0.13 eV with respect to the bulk ZnO band gap (3.26 eV) due to quantum confinement, with the narrow emission peaks typical of particles possessing uniform size and shape. The larger tablets displayed a less energetic emission (3.10 eV) ascribed to exciton-exciton collisions. 相似文献

ZnO nanowires with unusual growth directions, such as the approximate 102 and the 100 directions, were prepared by using the LiCl molten salt synthetic method. Intrinsic crystallographic structures and the growth directions of the as-prepared ZnO nanowires were investigated by using selected area electron diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In the present case, Li+ and Cl- ions of molten salts may bind with O2- and Zn2+ ions, respectively, of the {101} and {001} polar surfaces of the ZnO crystals, resulting in the decrease of their surface energies and tuning the growth directions by blocking the growth on the polar surfaces. A combination of the growth along the <102>, <100>, and <210> directions may lead to the formation of complex tree like ZnO dendrites. Strong green light emission was observed from room-temperature PL spectra of the as-prepared ZnO nanowires. This molten-salt synthetic process could be extended to synthesize other kinds of unusual 1D nanomaterials with specific crystal structures and properties. 相似文献

One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures with different morphologies have been successfully synthesized through a simple round-to-round metal vapor deposition route at 550 degrees C with a zinc powder covered indium film as the source material. The structures and morphologies of the products were characterized in detail by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Studies found that the morphology of the products can be easily tuned from one experimental round to another. Possible growth mechanisms for the formation of one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures with different morphologies are discussed. Photoluminescence studies show that there are sharp UV emission and broad defect-related green emissions for the products obtained in all experimental rounds. Relative intensity of the UV emission to defect-related emissions gradually increased from one experimental round to another. 相似文献

Porous fiber membranes consisting of 1D assemblies of ZnO nanocrystal-supported poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers are described. These hybrid nanofiber membranes were assembled by first electrospinning a ZnO precursor-containing PVA aqueous solution. Subsequently, the electrospun composite nanofibers were submerged in a basic ethanol solution. As a result, ZnO precursors in solid PVA matrixes were hydrolyzed to generate ZnO crystals residing on the fiber surfaces. Photoluminescence spectroscopy analysis demonstrated the as-hydrolyzed fiber membranes possess white luminescence. Furthermore, the ZnO-encapsulated PVA nanofibers were prepared by directly electrospinning a ZnO nanocrystal-containing PVA solution as the contrast of the as-hydrolyzed hybrid nanofibers. The surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) confirmed that the as-hydrolyzed hybrid fiber membranes had a strong SPS response, but the directly spun fiber membranes did not have any SPS response. This can be attributed to the favorable structure of the hydrolyzed hybrid nanofibers, that is, the surface residence of ZnO permits ZnO crystals to make direct contact with ITO electrodes to transfer the photogenerated electron originating from ZnO to ITO electrodes. By contrast, the transfer of the photogenerated electron is limited by PVA matrixes in the directly spun fiber system. 相似文献
