Microtextures Induced by Nanosecond Laser on Ni–Co Alloy Coatings

Ni–Co alloys have a wide range of applications in various fields owning to their excellent physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. In this paper, we prepare Ni–Co alloy coatings on 316L stain steel surfaces by electroplating. We present a novel approach utilizing a nanosecond laser to induce microtextures on Ni–Co alloy coatings. We study experimentally the effects of laser power and scanning rate on the surface morphologies of Ni–Co alloy coatings. The results indicate that the shape and size of induced microtextures can be controlled by the laser power and scanning rate. The size of grains increases with increase in the work current of the laser (WCL) at a certain scanning rate. With the WCL constant, the size of grains decreases with increase in scanning rate while their average height increases. It is a simple and easily-controlled method for the fabrication of microstructures on Ni–Co alloy coatings, which has promising applications in investigations of the properties of microtextured surfaces, such as friction, adhesion, and wetting.     

Nanospherical Surface‐Supported Seeded Growth of Au Nanowires: Investigation on a New Growth Mechanism and High‐Performance Hydrogen Peroxide Sensors

In this paper, a novel strategy with a new growth mechanism for fast and large‐scale growth of Au long nanowires on high‐curvature SiO₂ nanospherical surfaces has been developed. The synthesis includes three steps, i.e., amino modification of SiO₂ nanospheres, Au seed loading on aminated SiO₂ nanospheres and subsequently, Au seed‐mediated nanowire growth on SiO₂ nanospheres. The prepared Au nanowires (Au NWs) (exhibit long length, high aspect ratio, and good flexibility, and can naturally form the dense nanowire film, which is promising as a stable conductive electrode. In addition, the effect of synthetic conditions such as reactant feeding order, Au seeds and SiO₂@Au seeds on the morphology of Au nanostructures (nanowires, nanoteeth, and nanoflowers) has been investigated. It is found that Au seeds and high‐curvature SiO₂ nanospherical surfaces are necessary conditions for the successful preparation of Au NWs and nanowire films. The different growth mechanisms for Au NWs and nanoteeth have been proposed and discussed. Moreover, the novel nonenzymatic H₂O₂ sensor based on Au NWs exhibits much enhanced performance such as higher sensitivity, stability, and selectivity, wider linear range and lower detection limit, compared with that of Au nanoparticles‐based H₂O₂ sensor.     

Facile and surfactant-free synthesis of SnO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-graphene hybrids as high performance anode for lithium-ion batteries

A facile microwave-assisted ethylene glycol method is developed to synthesize the SnO₂ nanoparticles dispersed on or encapsulated in reduced graphene oxide (SnO₂-rGO) hybrids. The morphology, structure, and composition of SnO₂-rGO are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, thermo-gravimetric analyzer, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical performance of SnO₂-rGO as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries was tested by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge cycling, and rate capability test. It is found that the SnO₂ nanoparticles with a uniform distribution have p-type doping effect with rGO nanosheets. The as-prepared SnO₂-rGO hybrids exhibit remarkable lithium storage capacity and cycling stability, and the possible mechanism involved is also discussed. Their capacity is 1222 mAhg^?1 in the first cycle and maintains at 700 mAhg^?1 after 100 cycles. This good performance can be mainly attributed to the unique nanostructure, good structure stability, more space for volume expansion of SnO₂, and mass transfer of Li⁺ during cycling.     

Site-Specific Detection of Free Radicals in Membranes Using an Amphiphilic Spin Trap

The detection of free radicals and related species has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their critical roles in physiological and pathological processes. Among the various methods for the detection of free radicals, electron spin resonance coupled with spin-trapping technique has been an effective approach for the characterization and quantification of free radicals due to its high specificity. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel amphiphilic spin trap, 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-2-heptadecanyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-1-oxide (DEPHdPO), from 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide with a long hydrocarbon chain at the C-5 position of the pyrroline ring, providing the amphiphilic character. The free-radical-trapping ability of DEPHdPO was evaluated by capturing hydroxyl radicals (^·OH), superoxide anions (\( {\text{O}}_{2}^{ \cdot - } \)), and carbon-centered free radicals in a model membrane prepared from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The results indicate that the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain of DEPHdPO can be inserted into the inner core of SDS micelles, and the hydrophilic nitronyl functional moiety is located on the surface layer. Thus, various free radicals, including ^·OH radicals, \( {\text{O}}_{2}^{ \cdot - } \) anions, and carbon-centered radicals could be site-specifically detected near the membrane surface. Moreover, DEPHdPO could be successfully located on the surface of thylakoid membranes, and the nearby photo-initiated \( {\text{O}}_{2}^{ \cdot - } \) anions could be trapped site-specifically.
