碳纳米管表面修饰程度对其载Pd纳米粒子的电催化氧化水合肼性能的影响

比较了未氧化处理与经浓硝酸或混酸(浓硫酸与浓硝酸体积比为1∶1)处理后的不同多壁碳纳米管(MWNTs)为载体的Pd催化剂(Pd/MWNTs)对水合肼氧化的电催化性能. 光谱表征和电化学测试结果表明, MWNTs表面不修饰或修饰程度过大都不利于金属Pd纳米粒子的沉积. 浓硝酸处理使MWNTs表面修饰的含氧基团适中, 能够促进负载的Pd纳米粒子均一分布, 因此提高Pd/MWNTs催化剂对水合肼的电催化性能. 相反, 混酸处理使MWNTs表面产生的含氧基团过多, 导致金属Pd纳米粒子部分聚集, 从而降低Pd/MWNTs催化剂对水合肼的电催化性能.

Chemical engineering of the single-walled carbon nanotube-nylon 6 interface

We report an approach to the chemical engineering of the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-polymer interfacial interaction in a nylon 6 graft copolymer composite which is based on the degree of SWNT functionality. Continuous fibers are drawn from composites fabricated from the in situ polymerization of caprolactam with SWNTs possessing a range of carboxylic acid (SWNT-COOH) and amide (SWNT-CONH(2)) functionalities. Mechanical performance evaluation of the composite fibers shows that a high concentration of the carboxylic acid functional groups leads to a stronger SWNT-nylon interfacial interaction, as reflected in greater values of the Young's modulus and mechanical strength. Replacement of the COOH group by CONH(2) in the SWNT starting material changes the grafting polymerization chemistry, thereby leading to the covalent attachment of longer graft copolymer chains to the SWNTs, and alters the composite morphology while increasing the composite flexibility and toughness.     

Chemical functionalization of magnetic carbon-encapsulated nanoparticles based on acid oxidation

Carbon-encapsulated nickel nanoparticles were used as the representative magnetic carbon-encapsulated nanoparticles for chemical functionalization. After oxidation with the mixed acid of H2SO4/HNO3 under a moderate ultrasonic bath, carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) were effectively generated on the fullerene-like carbon shells, which in turn were utilized to covalently link octadecylamine through an amide reaction. The whole chemical process is well characterized by many methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and so on, and the self-consistent experimental results were obtained. The results suggested that the magnetic nanoparticles could be well protected, while their magnetic properties could be utilized to guide the transfer of the grafted functional species on the particle surface. This provides many possibilities for potential applications in chemical and biochemical fields.     

Patterning of single-wall carbon nanotubes via a combined technique (chemical anchoring and photolithography) on patterned substrates

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been chemically attached with high density onto a patterned substrate. To form the SWNT pattern, the substrate was treated with acid-labile group protected amine, and an amine prepattern was formed using a photolithographic process with a novel polymeric photoacid generator (PAG). The polymeric PAG contains a triphenylsulfonium salt on its backbone and was synthesized to obtain a PAG with enhanced efficiency and ease of spin-coating onto the amine-modified glass substrate. The SWNT monolayer pattern was then formed through the amidation reaction between the carboxylic acid groups of carboxylated SWNTs (ca-SWNTs) and the prepatterned amino groups. A high-density multilayer was fabricated via further repeated reaction between the carboxylic acid groups of the ca-SWNTs and the amino groups of the linker with the aid of a condensation agent. The formation of covalent amide bonding was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis-near-IR results show that the patterned SWNT films have uniform coverage with high surface density. Unlike previously reported patterned SWNT arrays, this ca-SWNT patterned layer has high surface density and excellent surface adhesion due to its direct chemical bonding to the substrate.     

A New Application of Carbon Nanotubes Constructing Biosensor

Carbon nanotubes used for constructing biosensor was described for the first time. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with carboxylic acid groups were used to immobilize glucose oxidase forming a glucose biosensor.

General Method to Increase Carboxylic Acid Content on Nanodiamonds

Carboxylic acid is a commonly utilized functional group for covalent surface conjugation of carbon nanoparticles that is typically generated by acid oxidation. However, acid oxidation generates additional oxygen containing groups, including epoxides, ketones, aldehydes, lactones, and alcohols. We present a method to specifically enrich the carboxylic acid content on fluorescent nanodiamond (FND) surfaces. Lithium aluminum hydride is used to reduce oxygen containing surface groups to alcohols. The alcohols are then converted to carboxylic acids through a rhodium (II) acetate catalyzed carbene insertion reaction with tert–butyl diazoacetate and subsequent ester cleavage with trifluoroacetic acid. This carboxylic acid enrichment process significantly enhanced nanodiamond homogeneity and improved the efficiency of functionalizing the FND surface. Biotin functionalized fluorescent nanodiamonds were demonstrated to be robust and stable single-molecule fluorescence and optical trapping probes.     

聚乙酰亚胺涂敷单晶硅表面上全氟亏酸单层膜

Ultra-thin film of perfluorodecanoic acid expected to be excellent lubricant for micro-machines was prepared successfully on single crystal silicon substrate.The film was characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact-angle meter.The chemical reaction involved in the preparation of the ultra-thin film was discussed as well.After being immersed in a dilute aqueous solution of polyethyleneimine (PEI) for 15 minutes and rinsed with distilled water,the silicon substrate was coated with a thin film of PEI,which was then put into a dilute solution (1× 10－ 3 mol· L－ 1) of perfluorodecanoic acid in hexadecane.Subsequently the steady perfluorodecanoic acid ultra-thin film was developed on PEI coating in the presence of a covalent amide bond between carboxylic group and the primary or secondary amine groups of PEI.This process was accompanied by the contact angle changes of water droplet on the Si surface (see Table 1).Moreover,the reaction between perfluorodecanoic acid and PEI was significantly influenced by N,N′ -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD).The contact angle on the ultra-thin film of perfluorodecanoic acid is only 66.3° in the absence of DCCD in the reacting solution; it rises to 89.4° in the presence of DCCD.This indicates that the reaction between perfluorodecanoic acid and PEI was accelerated by DCCD,and the quality of perfluorodecanoic acid ultra-thin film thus improved.XPS analysis of the ultra-thin film indicates that the derivatization of PEI with perfluorodecanoic acid was accompanied by several changes.First,a large and highly symmetrical F 1s peak appeared at 688.3 eV (C－ F*).Secondly,a new peak of N 1s appeared at 400.7 eV (chemical shift 1.4 eV),which was attributed to the N atom attached to the carbonyl group (O=C－ N*).Thirdly,three new peaks of C 1s appeared at 286.1 eV (chemical shift 1.5 eV),288.1 eV (chemical shift 3.5 eV),and 291.0 eV (chemical shift 5.4 eV),respectively.These C 1s peaks were attributed to the C atom attached to the O=C－ N group (O=C－ N－ C*),the carboxyl C atom (O=C*－ N),and the C atom in － CF3 group (C*－ F),respectively.Therefore it can be concluded that perfluorodecanoic acid has been chemically adsorbed onto the surface of PEI and perfluorodecanoic acid ultra-thin film prepared successfully.
