采用均相沉淀法制备了均匀球形的Gd2O3:Eu3+@Y2O3核壳结构纳米发光材料.XRD结果表明经过800℃焙烧后样品为立方晶系的Gd2O3,并且晶体发育良好,包覆Y2O3之后Gd2O3的衍射峰位置无明显变化,但随着包覆厚度的增加,出现了立方晶系Y2O3的衍射峰.FTIR谱图观测到了Gd-O,Y-O伸缩振动吸收峰,随着包覆厚度的减少吸收峰增强,认为当包覆层的厚度适当时,颗粒表面的悬空键(断键)变少,Gd(Eu,Y)-O键增多所致.SEM表明包覆前后样品为均匀分散的球形结构.XPS分析进一步证明了表面包覆上了Y2O3.荧光光谱表明:纳米Gd2O3:Eu3+表面包覆不同厚度的基质Y2O3后,均观测到Eu3+离子的特征红光发射,当包覆厚度R=4:1时的发光强度比未包覆的Gd2O3:Eu3+增强,认为核-壳型样品降低了纳米Gd2O3:Eu3+的表面效应给发光强度带来的负面影响.

Carbohydrate arrays for the evaluation of protein binding and enzymatic modification

This paper reports a chemical strategy for preparing carbohydrate arrays and utilizes these arrays for the characterization of carbohydrate-protein interactions. Carbohydrate chips were prepared by the Diels-Alder-mediated immobilization of carbohydrate-cyclopentadiene conjugates to self-assembled monolayers that present benzoquinone and penta(ethylene glycol) groups. Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy showed that lectins bound specifically to immobilized carbohydrates and that the glycol groups prevented nonspecific protein adsorption. Carbohydrate arrays presenting ten monosaccharides were then evaluated by profiling the binding specificities of several lectins. These arrays were also used to determine the inhibitory concentrations of soluble carbohydrates for lectins and to characterize the substrate specificity of beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase. Finally, a strategy for preparing arrays with carbohydrates generated on solid phase is shown. This surface engineering strategy will permit the preparation and evaluation of carbohydrate arrays that present diverse and complex structures.     

Controllable synthesis and optical properties of novel ZnO cone arrays via vapor transport at low temperature

Novel ZnO cone arrays with controllable morphologies have been synthesized on silicon (100) substrates by thermal evaporation of metal Zn powder at a low temperature of 570 degrees C without a metal catalyst. Clear structure evolutions were observed using scanning electron microscopy: well-aligned ZnO nanocones, double-cones with growing head cones attached by stem cones, and cones with straight hexagonal pillar were obtained as the distance between the source and the substrates was increased. X-ray diffraction shows that all cone arrays grow along the c-axis. Raman and photoluminescence spectra reveal that the optical properties of the buffer layer between the ZnO cone arrays and the silicon substrates are better than those of the ZnO cone arrays due to high concentration of Zn in the heads of the ZnO cone arrays and higher growth temperature of the buffer layer. The growth of ZnO arrays reveals that the cone arrays are synthesized through a self-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process.     

Probing Innovative Microfabricated Substrates for their Reproducible SERS Activity

New types of microfabricated surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active substrates produced by electron beam lithography and ion beam etching are introduced. In order to achieve large enhancement factors by using the lightning rod effect, we prepare arrays consisting of sharp‐edged nanostructures instead of the commonly used dots. Two experimental methods are used for fabrication: a one‐stage process, leading to gold nanostar arrays and a two‐stage process, leading to gold nanodiamond arrays. Our preparation process guarantees high reproducibility. The substrates contain a number of arrays for practical applications, each 200×200 μm² in size. To test the SERS activity of these nanostar and nanodiamond arrays, a monolayer of the dye crystal violet is used. Enhancement factors are estimated to be at least 130 for the nanodiamond and 310 for the nanostar arrays.     

Azo polymer microspherical cap array: soft-lithographic fabrication and photoinduced shape deformation behavior

In this work, azo polymer microspherical cap arrays possessing unique photoprocessible properties have been fabricated through a soft-lithographic contact printing approach. In the process, hexagonal polystyrene (PS) colloidal arrays, obtained by the vertical deposition method, were used as masters. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamps with aligned hemisphere air voids on the surfaces were obtained by casting the precursor against the colloidal arrays. By using the stamps and a solution of an epoxy-based azo polymer (BP-AZ-CA) as "ink", the microspherical cap arrays were fabricated by pressing the "inked" surfaces against substrates. Uniform 2D arrays of the submicrometer spherical caps could be obtained on the substrates after peeling off the stamps and drying. The characteristic sizes of the arrays depended on some adjustable features, such as the diameters of PS spheres and concentrations of the "inks" used in the process. After exposure to a linearly polarized Ar+ laser single beam, the spherical caps could be stretched along the polarization direction, and the arrays were consequently transformed into ellipsoidal cap arrays. Upon irradiation of interfering p-polarized Ar+ laser beams, only the spherical caps in the bright fringes were deformed by the light irradiation, which resulted in more complicated surface relief patterns. The observation gives another well-defined example of the photoinduced mass migration in the submicrometer scale. The approach can potentially be applied to fabrication of microlens arrays with different converging rate in two directions.     

Design of highly ordered Ag-SrTiO3 nanotube arrays for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange

Ag-SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays were successfully prepared for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under ultraviolet irradiation. In order to form highly ordered SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays, the preparation of TiO₂ nanotube arrays by anodic oxidation of titanium foil in different electrolytes was investigated. The selected organic solvents in electrolytes include glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide and glycol. The results indicate that the morphology of TiO₂ nanotube arrays prepared in glycol containing ammonium fluoride electrolyte is more regular. Then SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using TiO₂ nanotube arrays as the precursor. In order to further improve the photocatalytic activity of SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays, Ag nanoparticles were loaded on SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays by two sets of experiments. The loaded Ag results in an enhancement of photocatalytic activity of SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays. Moreover, the effect of pH on the photocatalytic degradation of MO was also studied.     

Pd nanowire arrays as electrocatalysts for ethanol electrooxidation

Highly ordered Pd nanowire arrays were prepared by template-electrodeposition method using anodic aluminum oxide template. The Pd nanowire arrays, in this paper, have high electrochemical active surface and show excellent catalytic properties for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media. The activity of Pd nanowire arrays for ethanol oxidation is not only higher that of Pd film, but also higher than that of commercial E-TEK PtRu(2:1 by weight)/C. The micrometer sized pores and channels in nanowire arrays act as structure units. They make liquid fuel diffuse into and products diffuse out of the catalysts layer much easier, therefore, the utilization efficiency of catalysts gets higher. Pd nanowire arrays are stable catalysts for ethanol oxidation. The nanowire arrays may be a great potential in direct ethanol fuel cells and ethanol sensors.
