Advances in Carbon Nanomaterials: Science and Applications,by Nikos Tagmatarchis

It has recently been realized that there is more than one kind of superconductor, and we now recognize superconducting metals and alloys as being either ‘type-1’ or ‘type-2’. The ‘new’ type-2 superconductors can exist in a state which allows them to carry isrestanceless currents even in very strong magnetic fields, and they are used to construct very powerful electromagnets. This article describes the properties of type-2 superconductors, why very strong magnetic fields are required to drive them normal and why under certain circumstances they can carry large lossless currents.

A Novel Ratiometric Fluorescent Mercury Probe Based on Deprotonation-ICT Mechanism

A new NBD-rhodamine dye (1) was developed as a colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for Hg²⁺ with good selectivity in aqueous ethanol solutions under neutral to basic conditions. Sensor 1 showed absorption at 468 nm and a weak emission at 529 nm (? _F ?=?0.063) in ethanol/aqueous tris buffer (9:1, v/v) of pH 9.17 solution. Bathochromic shifts in both absorption (492 nm) and fluorescence spectra (569 nm, ? _F ?=?0.129), respectively upon addition of 2 equiv. of Hg²⁺ were observed. The ring-opening reaction of the spirolactam form to the corresponding xanthene form was not found. The interaction of Hg²⁺ with chemosensor 1 resulted in the deprotonation of the secondary amine conjugated to the NBD component so that the electron-donating ability of the N atom was enhanced. Deprotonation-ICT mechanism of secondary amines was suggested for the ratiometric fluorescent chemosensing for Hg²⁺.     

Fluorescent Probe Studies of Polarity and Solvation within Room Temperature Ionic Liquids: A Review

Ionic liquids display an array of useful and sometimes unconventional, solvent features and have attracted considerable interest in the field of green chemistry for the potential they hold to significantly reduce environmental emissions. Some of these points have a bearing on the chemical reactivity of these systems and have also generated interest in the physical and theoretical aspects of solvation in ionic liquids. This review presents an introduction to the field of ionic liquids, followed by discussion of investigations into the solvation properties of neat ionic liquids or mixed systems including ionic liquids as a major or minor component. The ionic liquid based multicomponent systems discussed are composed of other solvents, other ionic liquids, carbon dioxide, surfactants or surfactant solutions. Although we clearly focus on fluorescence spectroscopy as a tool to illuminate ionic liquid systems, the issues discussed herein are of general relevance to discussions of polarity and solvent effects in ionic liquids. Transient solvation measurements carried out by means of time-resolved fluorescence measurements are particularly powerful for their ability to parameterize the kinetics of the solvation process in ionic liquids and are discussed as well.

新颖的酸催化迈克尔型巯基荧光探针的机理

迈克尔加成反应通常为碱催化的反应,但是在本工作体系当中,2-(2-乙烯基,7-羟基喹啉)丙二酸(QMA)能够被酸催化检测巯基. 从实验和理论计算证明了QMA探测巯基是,且溶液pH值越低,活 性越强. 在碱性溶液中,它的负离子形式QMA[-2H⁺]2^-不能够与电离前或电离后的巯基反应. 与QMA相比,它的酯QME显示出相反的pH效应,这与一般的基于迈克尔加成的巯基荧光探针类似. DFT计算得到的活化焓支持上述两种探针的pH效应. 在酸性溶液中,质子化的QMA与中性和碱性溶液中的负离子形式相比更容易与亲核试剂发生加成,因此能够与低活性的未电离硫醇反应. 相反地,QME与未电离硫醇反应的能垒很高,与电离后的硫醇反应活化能很低. 理论计算研究显示QMA与未电离硫醇的反应为1,4-加成而QME与电离后的硫醇的反应为1,2-加成.

Noise-Induced Phase Transition: Zero-Dimensional Brownian Particles Varying between Ergodicity and Nonergodicity

We study in phase space a zero-dimensional system of Brownian particles which move in a periodic potential and subject to an internal time derivative Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise. To resolve the Fokker-Planck equation in such a case, we propose an approximate analytical method. The theoretical predictions exhibit a second order noise-induced nonequilibrium phase transition, which is confirmed by numerical simulation results. The phase transition brings the system from an ergodicity to a nonergodicity phase as the potential barrier height decreases.

Transfer-Free Graphene Growth on Dielectric Substrates: A Review of the Growth Mechanism

Ever since the more-than-decade-old discovery of application of mechanical exfoliation to obtain graphene, this 2-dimensional material was known for its soaring promise in various applications, owing to its excellent properties. Graphene, most popularly grown on metallic substrates by chemical vapour deposition, needs to be transferred onto dielectric substrates for multiple optical and electronic applications. During such complex and expensive transfer steps, defects are introduced into graphene, which deteriorates the quality and thus, properties of graphene. An alternative approach to surmount these problems is the elimination of the transfer process and to directly grow graphene on dielectric substrates, for future electronic and optical applications. This review presents a comprehensive and an up-to-date account of the development of synthesis methods, challenges and future directions for transfer-free graphene growth on dielectric substrates. Special emphasis is given on the fundamentals of growth mechanisms of various transfer-free graphene synthesis processes on dielectric materials.     

Spectral Optical Properties of Polymer Composite Nanomaterials Based on Carbon Nanotubes in a High-Density Polyethylene Matrix

Spectral, kinetic, and nonlinear optical regularities that demonstrate the exchange of electronic excitations between the components of hybrid associates of Ag₂S colloid quantum dots (1.7–1.8 nm) in gelatin with molecules of thiazine dyes (Ds) are found. When the IR luminescence of Ag₂S quantum dots (QDs) is excited by radiation from the thionine absorption region, its enhancement due to nonradiative resonant energy transfer is observed. The association with methylene-blue molecules blocked the IR luminescence of Ag₂S QDs upon its excitation by radiation from the absorption region of the dye due to the transfer of charge carriers. It is demonstrated that the hybrid association of thionine molecules and Ag₂S QDs adversely affects the nonlinear optical properties of the latter, which manifests itself in inverse saturated absorption by the action of 10-ns second-harmonic pulses (532 nm) of a Nd³⁺:YAG laser. For the associates of Ag₂S QDs with methylene-blue molecules, the radiation focusing caused by the transfer of charge carriers from the dye and the change in the population of small traps in nanocrystals is found. It is concluded that the direction of the transfer of electronic excitations and the photophysical processes in these objects are determined by the mutual arrangement of the HOMO–LUMO levels of the dye with respect to the levels of dimensional quantization of the Ag₂S QDs.

Synthesizing Red Fluorescent Carbon Dots from Rigid Polycyclic Conjugated Molecules: Dual-Mode Sensing and Bioimaging in Biochemical Applications

Red fluorescent carbon dots (R-CDs) are special desirable for biochemical analysis due to good biological compatibility and deep penetration; however, they remain as bottlenecks due to difficulties in expanding the sp² domain, especially those are fused from rigid polycyclic conjugated molecules (RPCMs) with heteroatom substituents due to huge steric hindrance and heteroatom blockage toward graphic lattice. Here, an RPCM with heteroatom substituents, 1,5-diamino-4,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DDAQ), based self-doped R-CDs with PL emission at 635 nm is reported. Further investigations reveal that the expanding, hybrid sp² domain with indanthrone tannin structure from DDAQ is mainly responsible for the obtained red fluorescence of R-CDs. Taking advantage of optical properties, R-CDs are considered to construct a colorimetric/fluorescent dual mode sensing array for quantifying trace levels of Fe³⁺ and glyphosate based on the static quenching, and a biomarker for cell imaging. The CD-based sensors exhibit outstanding recovery, high selectivity, and sensitivity, also facilitated dual-mode detection with the naked-eye. The R-CDs have low cytotoxicity, good cell membrane penetration for rapid cell entry, and high resolution, demonstrating their potential for biolabeling and bioanalytic applications.
