Synthesis of Transparent Mesoporous and Mesostructured Thin Silica Films

A novel method for obtaining crack-free transparent periodic mesoporous thin films is described. Such films are prepared by a simple sol-gel process using surfactants as templates, with a pre-treatment of the glass substrate. The silicate precursor (tetraethoxysilane) is pre-hydrolyzed under acidic conditions before dissolving directly cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The solution is then spin-coated on pre-treated glass substrate. After the film has been deposited, it is calcined in air. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) has been used to characterize the film before and after thermal treatment. The film consists of a nanocomposite material with a periodic structure. Before calcination the XRD pattern has a sharp peak at d = 3.8 nms which is broadened and shifted by about 3.0 nm after calcination. Infrared transmission spectra have been performed on the films. Analysis of the free OH group stretching vibration indicates the removal of the surfactant after calcination in addition to an enhancement of the specific surface area.     

Ordered Mesostructured Silica Films: Effect of Pore Surface on its Sensing Properties

An electrochemical resistive-type sensor device, with a mesoporous silica thin film as sensitive membrane, has been developed and characterised. The silica film has been obtained via evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) using a tri-block copolymer (Pluronic F-127) as templating agent. It has been deposited by dip-coating on a silicon substrate with metallic interdigitated electrodes. Fast, reversible and reproducible electrical responses to relative humidity changes have been observed for the sensor device. The conduction mechanism has been related to chemical properties, structural order and surface morphology of the porosity in the silica film, confirming the dependence on the film preparation method and overall the importance of calcination temperature.     

Films Consisting of Innumerable Tapered Nanopillars of Mesoporous Silica for Universal Antireflection Coatings

Films with a fine structure consisting of innumerable nanopillars of mesoporous silica (MPS) are formed by a reactive ion etching process with a fluorine‐containing gas. Each nanopillar has a tapered shape with a uniform height, which effectively suppresses reflection by the formation of an ideal graded refractive index structure. The nanopillars are spontaneously formed under low‐pressure conditions, wherein locally deposited Al?F compounds, originating from an alumina plate in the etching chamber, work as a fine etching mask. The high etching rate of the MPS film allows a very high aspect ratio of the nanopillars. The refractive index of the MPS nanopillars can be universally tuned by a controlled incorporation of TiO₂ into the mesopores, which results in effective reduction of reflectance on a given substrate. The outstanding antireflection performance is experimentally demonstrated for glass substrates with a wide refractive index range.     

枝晶状Pt 薄膜的制备及其特殊红外效应

采用方波电位, 在10×10^-3 mol·L^-1 K₂PtCl₆+3×10^-4 mol·L^-1 PbAc₂+0.5 mol·L^-1 HClO₄溶液中, 于本体Pt 电极上电沉积制备出枝晶状Pt 薄膜. 随着沉积时间的增加, 枝晶长度逐渐由400 nm增加到900 nm, 且枝晶上的小晶粒(~10 nm大小)变得密集. 根据循环伏安(CV)曲线中氢吸脱附电量可得出Pt 薄膜具有中等粗糙度(C_r=9-36), 且电极表面的粗糙度随着沉积时间增加而增大. 观察到Pt 薄膜上吸附态CO的原位红外光谱具有明显的增强吸收效应, 当沉积时间为6 min 时所制得的枝晶Pt 电极的红外增强效应最大. CO呈现多种谱峰形状, 随着沉积时间的增加, 谱峰形状依次为左高右低的双极峰(类Fano 红外效应), 单极向下(表面增强红外吸收), 左高右低的双极峰, 单极向上(异常红外效应), 左低右高的双极峰和单极向下. 这表明纳米材料薄膜所呈现出的特殊红外性能, 与纳米材料的尺度和聚集状态等密切相关. 所制备的枝晶状Pt 薄膜有望为深入认识纳米材料的特殊红外性能提供一个良好的模型材料.     

Magnetically Induced Orientation of Mesochannels in Mesoporous Silica Films at 30 Tesla

We demonstrate the magnetically induced orientation of mesochannels in mesoporous silica films prepared with low‐molecular‐weight surfactants under an extremely high magnetic field of 30 T. This process is principally applicable to any type of surfactant that has magnetic anisotropy because such a high magnetic field provides sufficient magnetic energy for smooth magnetic orientation. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyoxyethylene‐10‐cetyl ether (Brij 56) were used as cationic and nonionic surfactants, respectively. According to XRD and cross‐sectional TEM, mesochannels aligned perpendicular to the substrates were observed in films prepared with low‐molecular‐weight surfactants, although the effect was incomplete. The evolution of these types of films should lead to future applications such as highly sensitive chemical sensors and selective separation.

Structural and IR Spectroscopic Analysis of Sol-Gel Processed CuFeMnO4 Spinel and CuFeMnO4/Silica Films for Solar Absorbers

Black colored CuFeMnO₄ spinel powders and films were prepared using sol-gel process from Mn-acetate and Fe- and Cu-chloride precursors. Films were deposited by dip-coating technique and heat-treated at 500°C. For CuFeMnO₄/silica films 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (3-APTES) or tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) were used in molar proportion (Mn : Cu : Fe) : silica = 1 : 1. Films and powders were prepared by heating at 500°C. IR spectroscopic measurements were employed to follow the hydrolysis-condensation reactions in (Mn : Cu : Fe)/3-APTES sols hydrolysed with water, and (Mn : Cu : Fe)/TEOS sols hydrolysed with (NH₃)_aq (Stöber processing). The resulting coatings were examined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with electron dif-fraction analyses, Rutherford back scattering (RBS) and proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) techniques. Results revealed that (Mn : Cu : Fe)/3-APTES films had a composite structure consisting of the upper Cu_1.4Mn_1.6O₄ spinel and the lower amorphous SiO₂ layer. RBS measurements confirmed the composite structure, showing also that the composition of the film was Mn : Cu : Fe = 1 : 0.96 : 0.29, i.e. close to the precursors ratio Mn : Cu : Fe = 3 : 3 : 1. (Mn : Cu : Fe)/TEOS films prepared from sols which were catalysed with (NH₃)_aq consisted of amorphous monodispersed spherical SiO₂ particles with a size of about 400–420 nm. Solar absorbance (a _s) and thermal emittance (e _T) values of CuFeMnO₄ (500°C) and (Mn : Cu : Fe)/TEOS films (500°C) showed that CuFeMnO₄ films could be used as potential selective coatings for solar absorbers in solar collector systems.

Platinum Films with Controlled 3‐Dimensional Nanoscopic Morphologies and Their Effects on Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering

The synthesis of Pt thin films with a controlled nanoscopic architecture that can support surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is reported. The syntheses are achieved by replicating the pores of a type of mesoporous silica thin film whose pore structure could be described as a regular array of vertical channels of ～9 nm in diameter and their interconnections, forming a 3‐dimensional pore network. Electrochemical deposition into the pores followed by the removal of the templates produced Pt films composed of arrays of vertically standing Pt nanorods with narrow gaps between them. The 3‐dimensional nanostructure increases the surface area and enables the Pt film to absorb visible light. SERS studies of rhodamine 6G and benzenethiol on such Pt films as substrates reveals that the control of the nanostructure is critical for the SERS effect.
