Template-free Polyoxometalate-assisted Synthesis of Au/ZnO Hollow Sphere Hererostructures for Photocatalytic Water Purification

The controlled synthesis of ZnO hollow spheres is successfully achieved through a facile solvothermal method using a Keggin-type silicotungstic acid(H_4 Si(W_3 O_(10))_4:HSW) as structure directing agent. The formation process of these hollow spheres is proposed based on a variety of controlled experiments. In addition, Au nanoparticles are loaded onto the surface of ZnO hollow spheres. It is found that the Au-loaded ZnO(Au/ZnO) composites exhibit greatly enhanced activity on oxidizing Rhodamine B(Rh B) under simulated UV or visible light irradiation, compared to the pristine ZnO hollow spheres. The improved performance of Au/ZnO heterostructures is mainly attributed to the enhanced optical absorption and the accelerated separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Moreover, the photocatalytic reaction mechanisms are proposed based on the results of electron spin resonance(ESR) analysis, photoelectrochemical measurements, and photocatalytic evaluation. The results and findings are expected to provide significance to the synthesis of noble metal-semiconductor hybrids towards water purification.     

Finite size effect on the Raman frequency of phonons in nano-semiconductors

A comprehensive study on Raman spectroscopy with different excitation wavelengths, sample sizes, and sample shapes for optic phonons (OPs) and acoustic phonons (APs) in polar and non-polar nano-semiconductors has been performed. The study affirms that the finite size effect does not appear in the OPs of polar nano-semiconductors, while it exists in all other types of phonons. The absence of the FSE is confirmed to originate from the long-range Fr¨ohlich interaction and the breaking of translation symmetry. The result indicates that the Raman spectra of OPs cannot be used as a method to characterize the scale and crystalline property of polar nano-semiconductors.

还原氧化石墨烯@泡沫镍载CoO纳米花电极制备及催化CO2性能

本文以氧化石墨烯包覆泡沫镍电极(GO@NF)作为基底,采用水热法在GO@NF基底上原位生长CoO纳米花,同时GO在水热过程中被同步热还原为还原氧化石墨烯(RGO),从而一步制得还原氧化石墨烯包覆泡沫镍负载CoO纳米花电极(CoO/RGO@NF)。使用XRD和SEM对CoO/RGO@NF电极进行表征,发现CoO纳米花均匀生长在泡沫镍三维网络结构上,CoO纳米花为大量针状纳米棒围绕一个中心而成的花状结构,纳米棒的长度约为10 ~ 15 μm,直径约为100 ~ 200 nm。使用循环伏安和线性扫描法测试了CoO/RGO@NF电极电催化CO₂的还原性能,在-0.76 V（vs. SHE）电位下,CoO/RGO@NF电极电催化CO₂还原的电流效率达到70.9%,产甲酸法拉第效率达到65.2%,甲酸产率为59.8 μmol·h^-1·cm^-2,且电极可持续稳定电催化还原CO₂ 4 h,表明CoO/RGO@NF电极对CO₂电还原有着优良的催化活性、选择性和稳定性。     

Improved performance of Au nanocrystal nonvolatile memory by N_2-plasma treatment on HfO_2 blocking layer

The N_2-plasma treatment on a HfO_2 blocking layer of Au nanocrystal nonvolatile memory without any post annealing is investigated. The electrical characteristics of the MOS capacitor with structure of Al–Ta N/HfO_2/Si O2/p-Si are also characterized. After N_2-plasma treatment, the nitrogen atoms are incorporated into HfO_2 film and may passivate the oxygen vacancy states. The surface roughness of HfO_2 film can also be reduced. Those improvements of HfO_2 film lead to a smaller hysteresis and lower leakage current density of the MOS capacitor. The N_2-plasma is introduced into Au nanocrystal(NC) nonvolatile memory to treat the HfO_2 blocking layer. For the N_2-plasma treated device, it shows a better retention characteristic and is twice as large in the memory window than that for the no N_2-plasma treated device. It can be concluded that the N_2-plasma treatment method can be applied to future nonvolatile memory applications.
