Reduced Graphene Oxide–TiO2 Nanotube Composite: Comprehensive Study for Gas Sensing Applications
摘要: Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) have unique properties that can revolutionize performances of functional devices. Graphene-based materials can be coupled with metal oxide nanomaterials for gas sensing applications. In this work, we report the synthesis and the gas sensing properties of a composite material based on RGO loaded TiO2 nanotubes. To properly tune the reduction of GO to RGO we adopted a gas-phase process that can be applied in situ on each gas sensor device, allowing to track the process effects through the sensor conductance. We systematically investigated the gas-response dependence from RGO loading and its reduction, showing the occurrence of an optimal RGO concentration arising from the interplay of these two parameters. Hence, these two factors should be considered in parallel to functionalize the metal oxide materials with GO for the fabrication of chemical sensor devices.

From the Bottom-Up: Toward Area-Selective Atomic Layer Deposition with High Selectivity
摘要: Bottom-up nanofabrication by area-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) is currently gaining momentum in semiconductor processing, because of the increasing need for eliminating the edge placement errors of top-down processing. Moreover, area-selective ALD offers new opportunities in many other areas such as the synthesis of catalysts with atomic-level control. This Perspective provides an overview of the current developments in the field of area-selective ALD, discusses the challenge of achieving a high selectivity, and provides a vision for how area-selective ALD processes can be improved. A general cause for the loss of selectivity during deposition is that the character of surfaces on which no deposition should take place changes when it is exposed to the ALD chemistry. A solution is to implement correction steps during ALD involving for example surface functionalization or selective etching. This leads to the development of advanced ALD cycles by combining conventional two-step ALD cycles with correction steps in multistep cycle and/or supercycle recipes.

Fe3O4/SiO2 Core Shell Nanostructures: Preparation and Characterization
摘要: Silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles with controlled silica shell thickness were prepared by a modified St?ber method. Modification of the St?ber method consisted of changing the synthesis conditions to control the thickness of the SiO2 shell. The core-shell nanoparticles were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and vibrational sample magnetometry. It was found that the shell formed after 8 hours of stirring. An increase of the tetraethoxysilane-magnetite mass ratio from 12.5 to 25.1 led to an increase of the shell thickness, whereas further increase in the tetraethoxysilane-magnetite mass ratio (from 25.1 to 37.6) led to decrease shell thickness. The core size has only insignificant influence on the shell thickness. Magnetic properties of composite particles correlate well with properties of pure magnetite nanoparticles considering dilution of magnetic particles by silica. Obtained results can be used for fabrication of silica shell with controlled thickness on the surface of different sized magnetite nanoparticles.

Efficient synthesis of high solid content emulsions of AIE polymeric nanoparticles with tunable brightness and surface functionalization through miniemulsion polymerization
摘要: Efficient production and flexible surface functionalization are important developing directions for the synthesis of polymeric nanomaterials. In this work, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) were efficiently synthesized by encapsulating a model AIE luminogen, tetraphenylethylene (TPE), within a polymeric matrix via miniemulsion polymerization. The AIE PNPs with similar emission and particle properties were synthesized in a wide solid content range of 8–40 wt%. The particle size and photoluminescence intensity of AIE PNPs could be flexibly tuned by synthetic parameters including the surfactant content and TPE content. Furthermore, the surface carboxyl- and amino-functionalization of AIE PNPs were conveniently achieved through copolymerization of styrene and functional monomers methacrylic acid and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride, respectively, in miniemulsions. The surface functionalization extent could be facilely tuned by the content of functional monomers. This miniemulsion polymerization based technique could be a feasible and efficient method to prepare AIE PNPs with versatile surface functionalization, tunable brightness, and controllable particle properties for the applications in biodetection, bioimaging, etc.
