基于第一性原理方法,研究了单层本征磷砷AsP和过渡金属钯（Pd）掺杂磷砷AsP的结构,并对比研究了本征和掺杂后的AsP吸附甲醛（HCHO）和一氧化碳（CO）气体分子的稳定性、能带结构、态密度以及电荷差分密度。研究结果表明：经Pd掺杂后AsP由半导体转变为导体;本征AsP吸附一氧化碳最稳定的位置为P-As键顶上,吸附甲醛最稳定的位置为P原子顶上;本征吸附时气体分子与基底之间的距离在3 Å左右,气体分子与基底之间未形成化学键。过渡金属Pd原子掺杂AsP后形成两种结构,分别为Pd原子替换超胞结构中的As原子或P原子。两种掺杂结构分别吸附一氧化碳或甲醛气体分子时,除了Pd原子替换AsP中的As原子形成的结构吸附甲醛的吸附能未明显增加外,其余掺杂结构吸附一氧化碳或甲醛的吸附能和电荷转移较本征吸附时均显著增强,吸附CO分子时,C原子与Pd原子之间形成了化学键。特别是,Pd原子替换AsP中的P原子形成的结构对一氧化碳和甲醛气体分子的吸附性能明显强于Pd原子替换AsP中的As原子所形成的结构。     

基于密度泛函理论研究掺杂Pd石墨烯吸附O2及CO

基于第一性原理的密度泛函理论研究了单个O₂和CO气体分子吸附于本征石墨烯和掺杂钯(Pd)的石墨烯的体系, 通过石墨烯掺Pd前后气体分子的吸附能、电荷转移及能带和态密度的计算, 发现掺Pd后气体分子吸附能和电荷转移显著增大, 这是由于Pd的掺杂, 在本征石墨烯能带中引入了杂质能级, 增强了石墨烯和吸附气体分子间的相互作用; 氧化性气体O₂和还原性气体CO吸附对石墨烯体系能带结构和态密度的影响明显不同, 本征石墨烯吸附O₂后, 费米能级附近态密度变大, 掺Pd后在一定程度变小; 吸附还原性的CO后, 石墨烯费米能级附近态密度几乎没有改变, 表明掺杂Pd不会影响石墨烯对CO的气体灵敏度, 但由于CO对石墨烯的吸附能增大, 可以提高石墨烯对还原性气体的气敏响应速度.

缺陷与掺杂共存的黑磷烯甲醛传感行为的电子理论

黑磷烯(black phosphorene, BP)因其"褶皱"的晶格结构而具有较高的比表面积,在气体吸附及气体传感器方面应用具有很大的优势.掺杂及缺陷对其传感性有较大的影响.本文以基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法为基础探究了本征、Al掺杂、含P原子空缺以及P空位与Al掺杂共存的黑磷烯体系吸附甲醛前后的传感行为.通过建立含缺陷和掺杂吸附体系的结构模型,计算得出了吸附能、能带结构及电荷转移等电子结构参数.结果表明,本征BP烯以及含P原子空缺的BP烯体系对甲醛分子吸附能力较弱, P原子空缺对电导率以及电荷转移没有影响,所以本征黑磷烯不适合用于传感器材料. Al掺杂和P空位与Al掺杂共存的BP烯体系,吸附甲醛分子的能力明显比前两种情况增强,电荷转移明显增加,改变了载流子浓度,提高了电导率.此外,在能带图中明显看到产生一个杂质能级,有效带隙明显变窄,表明Al掺杂提高了纯净和含P空位黑磷烯的传感性.因此, Al掺杂和P空位与Al掺杂共存的BP烯体系预计可成为一种新的传感器材料.     

A parametric study of the synthesis and purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes using the high-pressure carbon monoxide process

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized using the high-pressure carbon monoxide disproportionation process. The SWCNT diameter, diameter distribution and yield can be varied depending on the process parameters. Important parameters are the temperature, the pressure, the CO gas flow rate and the nozzle injection velocity and geometry for the injection of reactant gas into the reaction zone. Carbon nanotubes as small as 1.0 nm in diameter have been produced. The purity and yield of the deposited material were increased with increasing CO gas flow by means of rapid heating of the gas mixture and using an optimum injection profile. Highly pure SWCNTs were produced at 1250 K, pressures between 5 and 10 bar and gas in the turbulent flow regime in the cold line of 2000–2500 sccm CO. The raw materials were purified by oxidation in high vacuum at 523 K in wet Ar/20 vol. % O₂ to remove SWCNT carbon-like impurities and to oxidize the iron catalyst nanoparticles. The iron oxides were removed by chemical treatment in concentrated HCl/C₂H₅OH mixture solution. The SWCNTs were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy and optical absorption spectroscopy to determine the purity, the diameter and diameter distribution, the chemical composition and the catalyst morphology, as well as the optical properties of deposited SWCNTs in dependence on the synthesis parameters.

Elimination of metal catalyst and carbon-like impurities from single-wall carbon nanotube raw material

The purification of as-produced single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) material is one important step in order to make the material optimally suited for a number of potential applications. We present a purification procedure based upon oxidation of the raw material in oxygen atmosphere at elevated temperatures and a subsequent treatment in HCl. It is shown that this procedure results in the removal of the majority of the impurities comprising carbonaceous species and metal catalyst particles. The purification and the evolution of SWCNT material using this procedure are monitored using optical absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy including electron energy-loss spectroscopy as well as electron diffraction. Furthermore, the method has a sufficiently high yield of about 50% to be applicable for a large-scale purification. PACS 81.05.-t; 81.20.-n; 81.07.-b     

A periodic DFT study on adsorption of small molecules(CH_4,CO,H_2O,H_2S,NH_3)on the WO_3(001) surface-supported Au

Gas molecules(such as CH4,CO,H2O,H2S,NH_3)adsorption on the pure and Au-doped WO3(001)surface have been studied by Density functional theory calculations with generalized gradient approximation.Based on the the calculation of adsorption energy,we found the most stable adsorption site for gas molecules by comparing the adsorption energies of different gas molecules on the WO3(001)surface.We have also compared the adsorption energy of five different gas molecules on the WO3(001)surface,our calculation results show that when the five kinds of gases are adsorbed on the pure WO3(001)surface,the order of the surface adsorption energy is CO>H2S>CH4>H2O>NH3.And the results show that NH3 is the most easily adsorbed gas among the other four gases adsorbed on the surface of pure WO3(001)surface.We also calculated the five different gases on the Au-doped WO3(001)surface.The order of adsorption energy was found to be different from the previous calculation:CO>CH4>H2S>H2O>NH3.These results provide a new route for the potential applications of Au-doped WO3 in gas molecules adsorption.     

Field emission patterns with atomic resolution of single-walled carbon nanotubes by field emission microscopy

Electron emission properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) assembled on a tungsten tip were investigated using field emission microscopy (FEM). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrograph confirmed the existence of an SWCNT bundle on the W tip. Under appropriate experimental conditions,a series of FEM patterns with atomic resolution were obtained. These patterns arose possibly from the field emission of the open end of an individual (16,0) SWCNT protruding from the SWCNT bundle. The magnification factor and the resolution under our experimental conditions were calculated theoretically. If the value of the compression factor β was set at β= 1.76, the calculated value of the magnification factor was in agreement with the measured value. The resolving powerof FEM was determined by the resolution equation given by Gomer. The resolutionof 0.277 nm could be achieved under the typical electric field of 5.0×107 V/cm, which was close to the interatomic separation 0.246 nm between carbon atoms along the zigzag edge at the open end for the (16, 0) SWCNT. Consequently, our experimental results were further supported by our theoretical calculation.     

Nickel cluster functionalised carbon nanotube for CO molecule detection: a theoretical study

Using spin-polarised density functional theory calculation single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) whose sidewall is functionalised with nickel cluster is studied for its possible application in CO molecule sensing. We have chosen (6,0) SWCNT functionalised with Ni₁₃ cluster as the model for nanotube-cluster system. Changes in the properties of nanotube-cluster system brought by the CO molecule are reported. The CO molecule binding is energetically more favourable to the nanotube-cluster system than the pristine nanotube. The electronic properties are investigated in terms of density of states and bandstructure calculations. Pristine carbon nanotubes are intrinsically non-magnetic but nanotubes functionalised with nickel cluster are observed to have a huge magnetic moment which reduced on adsorbing CO molecule. The change in magnetisation upon CO adsorption may be detected using a suitable magnetometer. This result suggests the possibility of using carbon nanotube-cluster system to detect CO molecules. Bader charge analysis shows that CO molecule withdraws electronic charge from the cluster atoms. Nature of chemical bonding is studied with crystal orbital Hamilton population (–COHP) analysis.     

电子束诱导单壁碳纳米管不稳定的新观察

Increasing the luminous efficiency of an MEH-PPV based PLED using salmon DNA and single walled carbon nanotube

The combined effect of a salmon deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based electron blocking layer and a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composite-based electron transport layer on the performance of a poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) polymer light emitting diode (PLED) has been examined. The SWCNT network in the composite layer improves electron injection from cathode and the DNA blocks these high mobility electrons at the electron blocking layer-polymer interface, leading to high luminance from the device. The luminous efficiency of the PLED is increased ∼20 times compared to that of a PLED using only MEH-PPV.
