吸附于纳米磷化镓粉体表面碱性品红的拉曼光谱(英文)

本文中,对吸附于纳米磷化镓(GaP)粉体表面的碱性品红拉曼光谱进行了研究。通过将吸附碱性品红与纯碱性品红晶体样品的拉曼光谱进行对比、分析可知,碱性品红在纳米GaP粉体表面发生了化学吸附。在吸附碱性品红样品的拉曼光谱中,位于1200~1320cm-1范围内的光谱特征表明可能有新的化学键(P-O-C+或Ga-O-C+)形成。碱性品红分子的中央碳正离子(C+)与GaP表面具有孤对电子的氧原子形成配位键。红外光谱结果表明,氧原子与纳米GaP粉体表面的磷原子或镓原子键合,以P-O,Ga-O或P-O-Ga形式存在于GaP表面。碱性品红分子的呼吸振动,N-苯环伸缩振动,以及苯环C-C伸缩振动散射强度与纯碱性品红晶体样品相比皆有所增强。N-苯环伸缩振动散射强度增加意味着N原子是除C+离子以外的另一个可以与GaP表面发生化学作用的活性中心,这种化学作用是由N原子与GaP表面存在共轭效应造成的。     

Homogeneous ZnO Nanoparticles by Flame Spray Pyrolysis

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were made by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) of zinc acrylate–methanol–acetic acid solution. The effect of solution feed rate on particle specific surface area (SSA) and crystalline size was examined. The average primary particle diameter can be controlled from 10 to 20nm by the solution feed rate. All powders were crystalline zincite. The primary particle diameter observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was in agreement with the equivalent average primary particle diameter calculated from the SSA as well as with the crystalline size calculated from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for all powders, indicating that the primary particles were rather uniform in diameter and single crystals. Increasing the solution feed rate increases the flame height, and therefore coalescence and/or surface growth was enhanced, resulting in larger primary particles. Compared with ZnO nanoparticles made by other processes, the FSP-made powder exhibits some of the smallest and most homogeneous primary particles. Furthermore, the FSP-made powder has comparable BET equivalent primary particle diameter with but higher crystallinity than sol–gel derived ZnO powders.     

Crystal Phases of TiO2 Ultrafine Particles Prepared by Laser Ablation of Solid Rods

Titanium dioxide ultrafine particles (UFPs) are produced by pulsed laser ablation of titanium or titanium dioxide (anatase and rutile) rods in an atmosphere of He or O₂/He mixture. The collected UFPs on cellulose membrane filters at the exit of the ablation chamber are analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TiO₂ particles produced are composed of very small particles (diameter: 10–50nm) that are completely anatase, irrespective of the rod material, and relatively large particles (diameter: 100nm–1m) that are a mixture of anatase and rutile. The large particles consist of the direct strip-off fragments coming from the rod surface. The particles obtained from the laser ablation on TiO₂ rods in an atmosphere of He contains gray particles that are supposed to be amorphous TiO₂ (x < 2). In the presence of O₂ in the ablation chamber, these oxygen defects in amorphous TiO₂ are stabilized and anatase UFPs are formed. These results suggest that the crystal phase of the products can be controlled by adjusting the rod material and the gases used in the ablation process.     

The Effect of Boundary Conditions on Gas-phase Synthesised Silver Nanoparticles

We have prepared spherical non-agglomerated silver nanoparticles by an evaporation–condensation–dilution/cooling technique. Silver was evaporated from a crucible in a tubular flow reactor. A porous tube diluter was used to quench the carrier gas at the outlet of the reactor to enhance the formation of small particles and to suppress agglomeration and other particle growth mechanisms. The number size distribution of the prepared particles was measured with a differential mobility analyser–condensation nucleus counter combination and the size and the shape of the particles were analysed with transmission electron microscope. The system was modelled using a sectional aerosol dynamics computer code to estimate the importance of different aerosol processes. In all conditions the particles obtained were non-agglomerated and spherical. The mean particle diameter varied from 4 to 10-nm depending on boundary conditions. From the modelling studies it can be concluded that the nucleation rate is the most important parameter controlling the final particle size.

SiO2包覆铕(Ⅲ)配合物的荧光纳米粒子合成与性质

以前驱物pAB-DTPAA-APTEOS、正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)和三氯化铕(EuCl3)等为原料,采用油包水(W/O)的反相微乳液法,在正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)和3-氨丙基三乙氧基硅烷(APTEOS)的共同水解下,制备出新型的SiO2包覆铕配合物荧光纳米粒子Eu-pAB-DTPAA-AP-SiO2。运用TEM、IR、UV-Vis、荧光光谱等技术对荧光纳米粒子进行了表征。TEM结果表明:包覆体呈球形,分散均匀,平均粒径为40nm。纳米粒子与配体、前驱物的紫外吸收谱相比较,峰位发生了一定的红移,表明通过反相微乳液法得到的固体粉末与EuCl3反应后,已经生成配合物Eu-pAB-DTPAA-AP-SiO2。红外光谱研究表明,在801cm-1出现νSi—C的伸缩振动峰,471cm-1处出现νEu—O的伸缩振动峰。由此证实Eu-pAB-DTPAA-AP-SiO2配合物的存在。荧光光谱分析表明,纳米粒子Eu-pAB-DTPAA-AP-SiO2表现出较好的荧光性能,位于592,615,689nm的发射峰分别归属于Eu3 离子的5D0→7F1、5D0→7F2和5D0→7F4跃迁,其中最强峰615nm属于Eu3 的特征跃迁发射。作为一种新型的荧光试剂,该纳米粒子具有粒径小,亲水性强,荧光强度大,且表面的氨基能方便地与生物分子偶联,故可作为优良的时间分辨荧光标记物用于各种高灵敏生物检测技术中。     

溶液酸碱性对金纳米粒子在端基功能化单分子膜表面组装影响的SERS光谱研究

在4,4’-二硫联吡啶在Au表面形成自组装单分子层膜的基础上,采用表面增强拉曼散射光谱(SERS)研究了在不同pH值条件下金纳米粒子在4,4’-二硫联吡啶自组装单分子膜/Au体系表面的组装。研究结果表明,由于处于单分子膜表面的吡啶环中氮原子的质子化程度随溶液环境中pH值的变化而变化,使得金纳米粒子与单分子膜表面间的结合作用程度不同,由此会引起金纳米粒子在单分子膜表面的覆盖度存在差异,并最终导致所观测到的4-巯基吡啶自组装单分子膜的SERS光谱强度存在明显的差异。而且,令人感兴趣的是,所观测到的SERS谱峰强度随金纳米粒子组装时pH值的变化呈现出明显的规律性。结合分子结构特征的分析,初步阐明了SERS谱峰强度随pH值这一组装条件的改变而发生规律性变化的内在原因。     

Grafting of PMMA brushes on titania nanoparticulate surface via surface-initiated conventional radical and “controlled” radical polymerization (ATRP)

Stable dispersion of titania nanoparticles in organic solvents are obtained by grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) layer on to the surface. Titania nanoparticles are synthesized through the hydrolysis of titanium (IV) isopropoxide. The average size of the titania particles is found to be 15 ± 2 nm. The polymer layer was introduced onto the surface by immobilizing the initiating moiety. Azo initiator moiety required for surface-initiated conventional free radical polymerization and a tertiary bromide initiator moiety required for ATRP are attached covalently to the titania nanoparticulate surface through the surface hydroxyl groups. The “encapsulation” of PMMA layer results in the steric stabilization of the titania nanoparticles. Another important finding is that it is possible to grow polymer layer in a controlled fashion.     

An insight into the effect of composition for enhance catalytic performance of biogenic Au/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles

A comprehensive knowledge of composition‐activity property relationship of nanoparticulate materials is highly desirable for applications in various catalysis reactions. We have addressed a facile green aqueous approach for preparation of Au, Ag monometallic, Au/Ag alloy as well as core‐shell bimetallic nanoparticles. The phytochemicals present in lemon grass leaves extract were employed both as natural reducing and capping agents at room temperature. X‐ray diffraction pattern, UV‐Vis spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X‐ray studies confirmed the formation of bimetallic system. The ensuing Au core/Ag shell and Au/Ag alloy bimetallic nanoparticles were crystalline and spherical in nature with identical average diameter of ~ 18 nm as measured via transmission electron microscopy. The bimetallic systems incredibly display higher catalytic potential than their monometallic counterparts which were vividly reckoned on structural effect, lattice compression, and synergistic electronic effect.
