Magnetic field control of current through model graphene nanosheets

We study magnetic field control of current through model graphene nanosheet junctions within the framework of the tight-binding approximation. Geometrical asymmetry in the coupling of graphene nanosheets to the contact leads emerges as one of the most important determining factors for the magnetic field control of current. The asymmetric connection split the otherwise degenerate energy levels of the structures leading to energy-resolved transmission peaks which the applied field modulates for a transmission maximum by narrowing the energy gap between the split energy levels. Also, the contact coupling strength plays a decisive role in controlling current in small structures, while its role is significantly less in large structures that have more closely-spaced energy levels. Model calculations on a graphene nanosheet junction with inter-site Coulomb interaction is found to sustain sensitivity to the applied magnetic field. Although several factors bear direct effect on the electron transport through molecular junctions, suitably constructed graphene nanosheet junctions would greatly enhance the prospects of current control under applied magnetic fields.     

Direct Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticle‐Over‐Nanosheet for Sensitive SERS Detection

A simple ethanol sol‐based method for the synthesis of gold nanosheets (AuNSs) and gold nanoparticle‐over‐nanosheet (AuNP/NS) is developed. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with average sizes of ≈8 nm are grown in situ on the surface of the AuNS, which forms a NP/NS structure that obtains strong, significantly improved, surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy activity with the magnitude ≈2 and ≈6 orders higher than the simplex AuNP and AuNS, respectively. This performance is mainly attributed to uniform AuNPs that are closely packed over AuNS and coupled with NP–NS and NP–NP interactions. The NP–NS–GP (the gap between NP–NS) is narrower than NP–NP–GP in which much stronger and steadier plasmon resonance is obtained that can significantly enhance the Raman signal. The results show that single‐crystalline AuNS is an ideal substrate, which can be further coated with other metallic NPs to form a new flexible, high‐activity and AuNS‐based nanocomposite for a wide variety of applications.

Au/TiO_2/MoS_2等离子体复合光催化剂的制备及其增强光催化产氢活性

采用尿素沉积法制备了Au/Ti O_2/Mo S_2等离子体复合光催化剂。通过光催化产氢实验,在10%(φ,体积分数)甘油水溶液为牺牲剂条件下,研究了不同Mo S_2含量、Au固载2%(w,质量分数)时,Au/Ti O_2/Mo S_2(ATM)复合样品的光催化产氢活性。结果表明,当Mo S_2含量为0.1%(w)时,复合样品ATM0.1显示出最高的光催化产氢活性,其产氢速率达到708.85μmol·h~(-1),是Ti O_2/Mo S_2(TM)两相复合样品中光催化活性最高样品TM6.0产氢速率的11倍。三相复合样品显示增强光催化产氢活性主要是由于吸附在Ti O_2/Mo S_2层状复合材料上的Au纳米颗粒具有表面等离子共振效应,能强烈吸收波长范围550–560 nm的可见光,诱导产生光生电子,金纳米颗粒上的电子受到激发后转移到Ti O_2导带上,Ti O_2导带上的电子传递给片状Mo S_2,最终在Mo S_2上催化氢气产生。     

多孔纳米片状石墨相氮化碳的制备及其可见光催化

以三聚氰胺和硫脲为前驱体,通过简易的氧气刻蚀制备了多孔纳米片状氮化碳。相比于三聚氰胺制备的薄片状氮化碳(MCNS),以硫脲制备的多孔纳米片状的g-C_3N_4(TCNS)片层更薄,其单片厚度约为30 nm,且TCNS的层状结构明显,能带隙约为3.03 eV,高于石墨相氮化碳(2.77 eV),更宽的禁带赋予载流子更强的氧化还原能力。较大的比表面积(114 m~2·g~(-1))可以提供更多的活性位点,同时纳米片状结构可以促进电子与空穴的有效分离和转移,且能有效地降低光生载流子的复合率,因而TCNS具有更高的光催化活性。

Ultrathin Palladium Nanomesh for Electrocatalysis

An ordered mesh of palladium with a thickness of about 3 nm was synthesized by a solution‐based oxidative etching. The ultrathin palladium nanomeshes have an interconnected two‐dimensional network of densely arrayed, ultrathin quasi‐nanoribbons that form ordered open holes. The unique mesoporous structure and high specific surface area make these ultrathin Pd nanomeshes display superior catalytic performance for ethanol electrooxidation (mass activity of 5.40 Am g^?1 and specific activity of 7.09 mA cm^?2 at 0.8 V vs. RHE). Furthermore, the regular mesh structure can be applied to support other noble metals, such as platinum, which exhibits extremely high hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and durability.
