Organosulfur-functionalized Au, Pd, and Au-Pd nanoparticles on 1D silicon nanowire substrates: preparation and XAFS studies

A hybrid preparative method was developed to prepare organosulfur-functionalized Au nanoparticles (NPs) on silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by reacting HAuCl(4) with SiNW in the presence of thiol. A number of organosulfur molecules-dodecanethiol, hexanethiol, 1,6-hexanedithiol, and tiopronin-were used to functionalize the Au surface. Size-selected NPs ranging from 1.6 to 7.5 nm were obtained by varying the S/Au ratio and the concentration of HAuCl(4). This method was further extended to the preparation Pd and Pd-Au bimetallic NPs on SiNWs. The morphology of the metal nanostructures was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The local structure and bonding of the SiNW-supported metal nanostructures were studied using X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) [including both X-ray near-edge structures (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structures (EXAFS)] at the Au L(3)-, Pd K-, S K-, and Si K-edges. It was also found that the annealing of the thiol-capped Au NPs up to 500 degrees C transforms the surface of the thiol-capped NPs to gold sulfide, as identified using Au L(3)- and S K-edge XANES. We also illustrate that this preparative approach can be used to form size-controllable Au NPs on carbon nanotubes.     

Modeling of a counterflow plasma reactor

Modeling of a counterflow plasma reactor is presented, using liquid injection for the synthesis of fine particles. An experimental reactor has been developed in this laboratory, and feasibility has been demonstrated for synthesizing advanced ceramic powders. The flow field calculations show two major recirculating regions which are of importance for increasing the particles' residence time inside of the reactor. In addition, the temperature within these recirculation zones remains relatively uniform. For simulation, water droplet trajectories have been calculated for droplets produced by an injection probe. It is shown that the droplets in a size range below 50 m in diameter will follow the streamlines and evaporate completely within a short traveling distance. This finding suggests that this reactor configuration provides a favorable environment for the synthesis of fine particles using liquid precursors.     

Pheromones of coleoptera. Communication 6. Synthesis of R,Z-14-methyl-8-hexadecenal (cis-trogodermal)

Conclusions The simple synthesis of optically active R,Z-14-methyl-8-hexadecenal (cis-trogodermal), the principal components of the aggregation pheromone ofTrogoderma granarium, was accomplished. The synthesis was based on the use of R-1-bromo-4-methylhexane and Z-4-chloro-2-buten-1-ol as the sources of the chiral and olefin fragments.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 906–910, April, 1987.     

Microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis of tin niobates nanosheets with high cycle stability as lithium-ion battery anodes

SnNb₂O₆ and Sn₂Nb₂O₇ nanosheets were synthetized via microwave assisted hydrothermal method, and innovatively employed as anode materials for lithium-ion battery. Compared with Sn₂Nb₂O₇ and the previously reported pure Sn-based anode materials, the SnNb₂O₆ electrode exhibited outstanding cycling performance.     

钽硫原子簇的形成及激光裂解的初步研究

报导用激光直接溅射的方法产生了大量的钽硫原子团簇离子Ta_nS_m~+(n≤9, m≤30),并用串级飞行时间质谱仪研究了所产生团簇离子的组成及紫外激光裂解规律。实验发现, 最稳定的团簇正离子往往具有Ta_nS_(2n+7)~+(n=1,2,…9)的组成, 相应的负离子具有, Ta_nS_(2n+3)~-(n=1,2,…9)的组成。各种团簇正离子的激光裂解的主要通道是连续的S_2消除过程, 且对于n=3,4,5的团簇, 主要光解产物还有Ta_3S_4~+或Ta_4S_6~+离子。据此推测出Ta_nS_m~+团簇离子的可能结构为在Ta原子周围有6个左右的S原子配位。Ta原子之间不存在直接的化学键,而较大团簇可能是以Ta_3S_4或Ta_4S_6为核心的结构。
