Au-analyte adducts resulting from single massive gold cluster impacts

Utilizing Au₄₀₀⁴⁺ primary ions produces large molecular ion yields, some in excess of unity, with minimal surface damage. A surprising observation is the occurrence of Au-analyte adducts as part of the ejecta desorbed by a single Au-cluster impact. We present data that demonstrate that Au and Au-adducts as secondary ions (e.g., AuCN⁻, AuGly⁻ and AuCsI⁻) are the result of the interaction between a single primary ion, Au₄₀₀⁴⁺ and the target atoms.     

Fabrication of patterned gold electrodes with spin-coated-and-fired Au(1 1 1) film by the soft lithography

We prepared high quality Au(1 1 1) film on Si wafer through the spin coating and thermal decomposition of a gold ink, spin-coated-and-fired (SCAF) Au film. The X-ray measurements, XRD and pole-figure analysis, showed that the SCAF Au film has a (1 1 1) out-of-plane orientation with a random in-plane orientation. In order to confirm the chemical activity of the SCAF Au film, we demonstrate the formation of patterned structures with the film by using soft lithography technique. The chemical activities of this physically stable SCAF Au film to the alkanethiols were at least equivalent those of physically deposited the Au films. The possibility of the mass production of micro patterned structure with the SCAF Au film was also demonstrated over the wide region on Si wafer by the microcontact lithography. These suggest that the Au film will help the easy fabrication of various nanosized devices on Si wafer and other substrates.     

Development of a RILIS ionisation scheme for gold at ISOLDE, CERN

At the ISOLDE on-line isotope separation facility, the resonance ionisation laser ion source (RILIS) can be used to ionise reaction products as they effuse from the target. The RILIS process of laser step-wise resonance ionisation of atoms in a hot metal cavity provides a highly element selective stage in the preparation of the radioactive ion beam. As a result, the ISOLDE mass separators can provide beams of a chosen isotope with greatly reduced isobaric contamination. With the addition of a new three-step ionisation scheme for gold, the RILIS is now capable of ionising 26 of the elements. The optimal scheme was determined during an extensive study of the atomic energy levels and auto-ionising states of gold, carried out by means of in-source resonance ionisation spectroscopy. Details of the ionisation scheme and a summary of the spectroscopy study are presented.     

ORGANIC CHELATING REAGENT ON REDOX ADSORPTION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FIBER TOWARDS Au^3+

Organic chelating reagent influences upon the redox adsorption of activated carbon fibertowards Au3- were systematically investigated. The experimental results indicated that the presenceof organic chelating reagent on activated carbon fiber strongly affects adsorption capacity ofactivated carbon fiber towards Au3+. The reduction-adsorption amount of Au3+ increased three timesby the presence of 8-quinolinol. Furthermore, The reduction-adsorption amount of Au3+ depended onthe pH value of adsorption and temperature.

Syntheses of TiO2(B) nanowires and TiO2 anatase nanowires by hydrothermal and post-heat treatments

TiO₂(B) nanowires and TiO₂ anatase nanowires were synthesized by the hydrothermal processing in 10 M NaOH aq. at 150 °C followed by the post-heat treatment at 300-800 °C. As-synthesized Na-free titanate nanowires (prepared by the hydrothermal treatment and repeated ion exchanging by HCl (aq.) were transformed into TiO₂(B) structure with maintaining 1-D morphology at 300-500 °C, and further transformed into anatase structure at 600-800 °C with keeping 1-D shape. At 900 °C, they transformed into rod-shaped rutile grains. Microstructure of these 1-D TiO₂ nanomaterials is reported.

丙烯气相直接环氧化Au/TiO2催化剂的研究

在H2和O2共存条件下，金催化剂催化丙烯气相直接环氧化反应是近年来发展起来的一种新型环氧丙烷(PO)合成技术．本文采用沉积沉淀法制备了一系列Au／TiO2催化剂，考察了反应溶液的pH值、Au负载量、沉淀剂以及焙烧温度等因素对催化剂丙烯环氧化催化性能的影响．结果表明制备条件对催化性能有明显影响：反应溶液的pH值为7．5及Au负载量为2．4％时所得催化剂活性最好；当以Na2CO3、NaOH等含Na^ 物质作为沉淀剂时，催化性能明显优于Li^ 、K^ 等其它碱金属离子；400℃焙烧制得的催化剂活性较好，在50℃低温反应条件下，环氧丙烷得率可达1．3％．HRTEM结果表明，催化剂中Au组分高度分散于载体表面，且随着焙烧温度的增加Au粒因发生聚集而变大，从而影响了催化剂的活性．表面XPS分析证实，活性较好的Au／TiO2催化剂中活性组分Au除部分呈氧化态外，主要是以金属态的形式存在．
