In this review, the importance of electrical arc discharge technique in liquids in synthesis of various nanostructures from
carbon based materials to metal and metal oxide nanostructures with their general and specific properties, especially the
photocatalytic performance of metal oxide nanostructures is studied. The effect of arc current on size distribution, morphology
and physicochemical properties of metal and semiconductor nanostructures was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission
electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–Vis spectroscopy.
WO3 Cubic nanostructures with 30 nm mean particle size were formed during the discharge process in water. Discharge between zinc
electrodes in water leads to formation of rod like and semi spherical ZnO nanostructures with 15–20 nm diameter range. ZrO2 nanoparticles were formed using zirconium electrodes in water. Photodegradation of Rhodamine B (Rh. B) shows that the as
prepared nanostructures in this method have potential ability for environmental purifications. Also, using silver electrodes
in water leads to formation of silver nanoparticles with 8–15 nm average particle size. Moreover, a novel method for synthesis
of gold nanoparticles without using gold electrodes is presented. Finally, the future outlook of this technique in synthesis
of various nanocrystalline materials is presented. 相似文献

A model of concentration transition “ions and complexes in a water structure → ionic and ionicaqueous clusters → polymer structures
of salt and crystal hydrate melts” is suggested. The appearance of cluster nanostructures outside the first zone of a waterlike
structure is regarded as a general characteristic of solutions. The characteristics of solutions, phase equilibria, and salts
of complex composition are interpreted based on this model. Investigation of the complex dielectric constant of electrolytic
solutions in the SHF and EHF bands (7–119 GHz) at high concentrations showed that there are two dispersion regions in which
the relaxation times differ by a factor of 5–10. Relaxation processes are separated, the numbers of molecules in hydration
shells are calculated, and relaxation times are determined for bulky tetrahedral water with hydration shells of ions, for
clusters, and for ionicaqueous polymer chains. It is shown that the two structure subsystems of water molecules in concentrated
solutions may be described using the limited rotator/generalized diffusion molecular model.

This paper presents the characterization of TiO2 nanostructures obtained by low-voltage anodization using alternate current electrochemical microscopy (AC-SECM) and photoelectrochemical
(PEC) measurements. TiO2 nanostructures were obtained from the exposure of titanium foils to several aqueous acidic solutions of hydrofluoric acid + phosphoric
acid at potentials of 1 to 3 V. Scanning electron microscopy, X ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy studies evidence
the formation of a thin porous amorphous layer (<600 nm) with pore size in the range of 200–1,000 nm. By AC-SECM studies at
different bias, we were able to confirm the unambiguous semiconducting properties of as-obtained porous titania films, as
well as differences in surface roughness and conductivity in specimens obtained at both potentials. The difference in conductivity
persists in air annealed samples, as demonstrated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and PEC measurements. Specimens
obtained at 3 V show lower photocurrent and dark current than those obtained at 1 V, regardless of their larger conductivity,
and we proposed it is due to differences on the oxide layer formed at the pore bottom. 相似文献

A simple hydrothermal process was used to synthesize the assembled leaf-like copper oxide (CuO) from copper hydroxide and
urea in aqueous solution. The field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed that the individual CuO leaf-like nanostructure
has a dimension of about 0.5–1.5 μm in length, 50–70 nm in thickness, and 80–110 nm in width, respectively. These CuO nanostructures
were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, which showed that the CuO nanostructures prepared
from the hydrothermal process have high crystalline properties with a monoclinic structure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
studies confirmed that the as-prepared sample is composed of CuO, which is consistent with X-ray diffraction patterns. The
CuO nanostructures were used as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, demonstrating electrochemical properties of
a high initial discharge capacity of approximately 1,028 mAh/g along with good cycle stability. 相似文献

Due to their direct influence on the stability of bacterial biofilms, a better insight into the nanoscopic spatial arrangement
of the different extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), e.g., polysaccharides and proteins, is important for the improvement
of biocides and for process optimization in wastewater treatment and biofiltration. Here, the first application of a combination
of confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to the investigation of river-water biofilms
and related biopolymers is presented. AFM images collected at selected areas of CLS micrographs dramatically demonstrate the
heterogeneity of biofilms at the nanometer scale and the need for a chemical imaging method with nanoscale resolution. The
nanostructures (e.g., pili, flagella, hydrocolloids, and EPS) found in the extracellular matrix are classified according to
shape and size, which is typically 50–150 nm in width and 1–10 nm in thickness, and sets the demands regarding spatial resolution
of a potential chemical imaging method. Additionally, thin layers of the polysaccharide alginate were investigated. We demonstrate
that calcium alginate is a good model for the EPS architecture at the nanometer scale, because of its similar network-like
structure.

Potentially, carbon nanostructures are very important as ideal components to create many novel nano-devices. Such devices
including nano-oscillators, ultra-fast optical filters and nano-bearings, are based on the unique mechanical and electronic
properties of carbon nano-structures. Common carbon nanostructures used are usually C60-fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon nano-bundles and carbon nanotori. In the synthesis and production of carbon nanostructures,
carbon nanocones tend to occur less frequently, and it is known that five different size cones may occur, depending on the
number of pentagons in the atomic network. However, the simple geometric structure of carbon nanocones certainly facilitates
calculations for their potential energy. Here, the Lennard–Jones potential energy function and the usual continuum approximation
are employed to determine the energy for two such nested carbon nanocones which are located co-axially. We show graphically
the energy profiles for any two carbon nanocones arising from the five possible structures. For both two distinct cones and
two identical cones, we find that the equilibrium location moves further away from the vertex as the number of pentagons is
increased. However, we observe that the equilibrium position occurs such that one cone is always inside the other, and therefore,
we might expect that nested double-cones are formed according to these results.

Nanostructures based on iron oxide clusters 1–300 nm in size were synthesized and studied. Thermodynamic models of nanocluster
nucleation resulting in the formation of both primary nanoclusters and nanocluster aggregates with the sizes up to 70–80 nm
were considered. Models of heat capacity of the nanoclusters were examined, and the twofold increase in the heat capacity
of the iron oxide clusters 2–3 nm in size compared to that of the bulk iron oxide samples was found. The size of the primary
nanoclusters and the intercluster interaction make it possible to vary the magnetic properties of the nanostructures in a
wide range from paramagnetic to magnetically ordered α-Fe2O3-γ-Fe2O3 nanostructures with the first-order magnetic phase transitions, magnetic twinning, and a strong magnetic field (10 Oe) effect
on the magnetization increase at low temperatures.

The structure of molecular dynamic models of amorphous argon is investigated by the Voronoi-Delaunay method. It is shown that
the majority of Delaunay simplices (determined by quadruplets of the nearest atoms) are “perfect,” i.e., close in their shape
either to the ideal tetrahedron or to the ideal quartoctahedron. These two types of structural elements are positioned in
a correlated manner relative to each other, forming regions of a “perfect” structure which, however, is not crystalline. The
regions themselves are separated by sections of an “imperfect” structure in which the shape of simplicial atomic configurations
differs from the mentioned ideal forms.

A convenient procedure for the determination of organomercuric compounds in soils from orchards and wheat fields is described based on the aqueous derivatization of the polar organomercuric halides in 0.1 M HAc-NaAc (pH 4) buffer into their hydrides by addition of 1 mL of 6% KBH4 with subsequent headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) of the volatile derivatives. The volatile derivatives are separated by gas chromatography (GC) with a Supelco SPB-1 capillary column and on-line detected by electric heated quartz furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The relative standard deviations for ten replicate measurements are 2.1%, 2.8% and 3.5% for methyl-, ethyl- and phenylmercury with absolute detection limits of 16 ng, 12 ng and 7 ng, respectively. This method is applied to the analysis of organomercuric compounds in soil samples and 0.04–0.64 μg/g of organomercuric species are detected in soils from different sites. The recoveries after standard addition are between 93–106%. 相似文献

Zinc–cobalt (Zn–Co) and zinc–nickel (Zn–Ni) alloy electrodeposits each prepared from acid and alkaline formulations were compared
for their properties. Compared to alkaline baths, acid baths offer higher metal percent of the alloying element and higher
current efficiency. In alkaline baths, the variation of metal percent in deposit with current density is less significant,
but that of current efficiency with current density is more. Electrolyte pH does not change significantly in alkaline solutions
compared to acid solutions. X-ray diffraction evaluation of Zn–Co deposits from both electrolytes indicated their presence
in the η-phase, while Zn–Ni shows pure γ-phase for deposits obtained from alkaline solutions and the existence of γ-phase
with traces of η-phase of zinc for deposits obtained from the acid electrolytes. Scanning electron microscope examination
shows finer grain structure for deposits obtained from alkaline solutions, and atomic force microscope studies confirm their
nanostructure with reduced surface roughness. Deposits obtained from the alkaline baths exhibited higher corrosion resistance
probably due to their nanostructure. 相似文献

Strontium modified aluminium–silicon cast alloys are well known for their outstanding mechanical properties as they combine
excellent strength with good ductility that is due to a modification of brittle Si in the eutectic with traces of Sr (0.3–0.5 wt%).
Although the level of Sr addition is very low, formation of ternary AlSiSr phases with deleterious effects on the ductility
can take place. Consequently, there is a certain need of alternative modifying elements. Following the theory of Lu and Hellawell
which predicts an optimal atomic size for good modification, Eu, which has an atomic radius close to that optimal size, was
additionally used as a modifying element. This study presents SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometer) investigations of the
3D-distributions of the main alloying and trace elements in Al–Si feedstock alloys for thixocasting modified with Sr and Eu,
respectively.

Silver-based nanostructures with tailored localized surface plasmon resonance are of interest for a number of practical applications.
They can conventionally be divided into three main groups: (1) anisotropic silver particles, (2) particles of alloys of silver
with other metals, and (3) composite particles with dielectric or magnetic cores and silver shells. Fine “tuning” of plasmon
resonance of these particles is ensured by changes in their shapes, composition, and/or structure. Procedures for the colloidal
synthesis of nanostructures of all these groups and some fields of their application are described, with the main attention
focused on core/shell composite particles. 相似文献

Glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified with carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been created for detection of phenolic compounds—one
of the important group of antioxidants in life sciences. The surface of electrode has been characterized by atomic force microscopy.
The presence of CNT leads to an at least 20-fold increase in the surface roughness of the electrode. The CNT layer displays
closely intertwined vermicular structures with high degree of homogeneity at CNT suspension concentration of 0.2–0.5 mg L−1. Synthetic water-soluble antioxidants (hydroquinone, catechol, pyrogallol, and their derivatives) are electrochemically active
on bare GCE and CNT-modified GCE in phosphate buffer solution pH 7.4. Effect of substitutes in molecular structure of phenolic
antioxidants has been evaluated. In several cases, oxidation at CNT-modified GCE occurs at potentials that are less positive
by 100–200 mV in comparison to bare GCE. The electrodes were studied with respect to their capability of phenols voltammetric
sensing. CNT-modified GCE display an enlarged linear range in the calibration graphs and lower detection limits. Voltammetric
method for determination of hydroquinone, catechol, pyrogallol, and their derivatives has been developed. 相似文献

Hydrophilic graphite oxide (GO) of lamellar structure was prepared by oxidation of graphite; the thickness of the individual
lamellae was 6.1 Å. GO was hydrophobized by n-alkylammonium cations, and the GO-organocomplex nanocomposites were swollen in organic solvents of various polarities (ethanol,
toluene, cyclohexane, n-heptane) and their binary mixtures. The binary liquid composition determined the size (15–45 Å) of the lamellar GO nanostructures.
Interlamellar swelling was quantitatively characterized by XRD experiments, determination of liquid sorption excess isotherms
and flow microcalorimetry.

Molecularly thin nanoparticles from cellulose: isolation of sub-microfibrillar structures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have succeeded in isolating nanostructures from never-dried cellulose wood pulp, in sheet-form that have sub-microfibril
dimensions (single to double digit Å thickness with 100’s of nm in length). A recently developed oxidation procedure by Saito
and co-workers (Biomacromolecules 2006, 7:1687–1691) combined with extensive ultrasonication was used to liberate nanoscale
cellulose fibrils. We show structures, as determined with atomic force microscopy, that compose the well-known cellulose microfibril,
which are tenfold thinner than previous reports on nanoscale celluloses. This work provides indirect evidence in support of,
and is consistent with, the hypothesis that the intersheet van der Waals bonding of the cellulose fibril is significantly
weaker than the intrasheet hydrogen bonding of the cellulose microfibril. The structures are facile to isolate, contain enormous
specific surface area with rich chemical functionality providing potential for numerous novel applications. 相似文献

A theory of lineshape in photoelectron spectra is developed based on the Green’s function calculation of the atomic vacancy
structure. It is shown that the broadening of photoelectron lines is always somewhat asymmetrical, and the broadening of satellite
lines arising in atomic photoionization is generally strongly asymmetrical and inverse. The approach is generalized to low-energy
Auger spectra; it is shown that Auger decay lines of excited atomic states may narrow with respect to the width of the initial
level. The results are compared with experimental photoelectron spectra.

Calculations of large scale electronic structure within periodic boundary conditions, mostly based on solid state physics,
allow the modeling of atomic forces and molecular dynamics for atomic assemblies of 100–1000 atoms, thus providing complementary
information in material and macromolecular sciences. Nevertheless, these methods lack connections with the chemistry of simple
molecules as isolated entities. In order to contribute to establish a conceptual connection between solid state physics and
chemistry, the calculation of the extent of electron sharing between atoms, also known as delocalization index, is performed
on simple molecules and on complexes with transition metal atoms, using density functional calculations where the Kohn–Sham
molecular orbitals are represented in terms of plane waves and in periodic boundary conditions. These applications show that
the useful measure of electron sharing between atomic pairs can be recovered from density functional calculations using the
same set-up applied to large atomic assemblies in condensed phases, with no projections of molecular orbitals onto atomic
orbitals. 相似文献
