Improved Hydrophobicity of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Coating with ZnO Nanostructures
摘要： In this present work, an environmentally safe hydrophobic cotton surface comprising of PDMS and different morphology of Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures via simple dip coating method was developed. ZnO nanosphere and ZnO nanoflakes were synthesized via sol gel method while ZnO nanorods were synthesized via solution precipitation method. The precursors used to prepared ZnO nanospheres, nanoflakes and nanorods are zinc acetate dehydrate, zinc chloride and zinc nitrate tetrahydrate respectively. ZnO nanostructures were analysed using FESEM and XRD. The hydrophobic cotton surface was characterized via FT-IR and WCA analysis. A WCA of 144.15° was achieved when coating the cotton with ZnO nanoflakes (ZnO-NF:PDMS).

Fabrication of star-shaped InP/GaInAs core-multishell nanowires by self-catalytic VLS mode
摘要： We successfully fabricated core-multishell nanowires using low-pressure metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) in self-catalytic vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mode. The central core consists of an InP nanowire, and the shells are composed of alternating InP and GaInAs layers. The dependence of the shape and optical characteristics of the nanowires on the number of InP/GaInAs periods were investigated. By increasing the shell-periods, we observed a star-shaped cross section. The optical characteristics of the nanowires were investigated by room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The number of PL peaks was found to increase with increasing number of periods, and the peaks became redshifted.

Facile synthesis of Ag/ZnO metal–semiconductor hierarchical photocatalyst nanostructures <i>via</i> the galvanic-potential-enhanced hydrothermal method
摘要： Hierarchical metal–semiconductor nanostructures (NSs) composed of a backbone made of Ag nanowire and ZnO nanorod (NR) branches were successfully prepared using the galvanic-potential-enhanced hydrothermal method. A galvanic cell structure was formed between an Al bottle anode that was used as a hydrothermal reactor and an Ag NW cathode dispersed in a hydrothermal solution. As a result, the contact-potential-driven hydrothermal growth of the ZnO NRs on the sidewalls of the Ag NWs could be achieved. The morphological and microstructure characterization confirmed the formation of well-arranged hierarchical NSs composed of Ag NW trunk and ZnO NR branch structures. The photocatalytic properties of the hierarchical Ag/ZnO NSs were investigated by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye as a model pollutant. It was found that the hierarchical Ag/ZnO NSs demonstrated a more than two-fold faster degradation rate than the pristine ZnO NSs. The high-performance photocatalytic activity of the Ag/ZnO hierarchical NSs was attributed to the synergetic effect of the metallic Ag NWs and the ZnO NRs that enhanced the charge separation and diffusion by suppressing charge recombination, as well as enhanced reaction sites and light absorption.

Ferromagnetic Behavior and Electronic Characterization of ZnO Nanoparticles
摘要： In this work, Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles encapsulated with amorphous SiO2 were prepared by the wet chemical method. The obtained precursor was annealed and the nanoparticle sizes were controlled by adjusting the annealing temperature. These nanomaterials showed ferromagnetic behavior, even though the ZnO bulk crystal was diamagnetic. The results of electrical conductivity and XANES suggested that ferromagnetism of the Al-doped nanoparticles was results of carrier transport and oxygen vacancies. The Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles are extremely interesting from the perspective of solid state physics. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2018.406]

Polydopamine and Barbituric Acid Co-Modified Carbon Nitride Nanospheres for Highly Active and Selective Photocatalytic CO <sub/>2</sub> Reduction
摘要： Carbon nitride nanospheres modified with polydopamine and barbituric acid (BA-CNS-PDA) were successfully prepared by following a template-copolymerization and post-modification strategy. The photocatalytic CO2 reduction was carried out using BA-CNS-PDA as photocatalyst, Co(bpy)3 as the cocatalyst and TEOA as the sacrificial electron donor. The productivity and selectivity for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO on BA20-CNS-PDA15 under visible-light for 4 h were measured to be 158 μmol and 86.0 %, respectively, and are nearly 5 and 1.5 times, respectively, that of unmodified CNS. Optical characterization indicates that the outstanding photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance is a result of improved charge separation and transfer due to copolymerization with barbituric acid and enhanced visible light absorption due to polydopamine. The adsorption isotherm of CO2 demonstrates that polydopamine increase CO2 adsorption capacity and promote CO2 activation due to the presence of the amino groups.

[SpringerBriefs in Materials] Anisotropic Metal Chalcogenide Nanomaterials (Synthesis, Assembly, and Applications) || Applications
摘要： Interest in anisotropic 1D and 2D nanostructures has been steadily increasing due to their large surface area, quantum con?nement effect, and superior optoelectrical or thermoelectrical properties. Anisotropic geometry and size reduction comparable to the Debye length can alter the optical, electric, and magnetic properties of the bulk counterparts. Focusing on MCs prepared in solution the major interests for practical applications are thermoelectric power phases, generation or electronic device cooling, high performance electrodes for batteries, nanocrystal-based photovoltaic devices, and photodetectors. Recently, new potential uses of the solution-based MC nanocrystals are being investigated, which include localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). MC thin ?lms prepared by the vacuum process have shown the possibilities as new class of materials such as topological insulator, semiconductor with a high electron mobility, and superconductor. Although the organic surfactants indispensable in solution chemistry diminish such superior physical properties, solution-based approach has large room to achieve such physical properties. This chapter will introduce recent advances in the practical applications of the anisotropic MC nanocrystals, and introduce brie?y the potential applications.

Fabrication and tribological characterization of deformation-resistant nano-textured surfaces produced by two-photon lithography and atomic layer deposition
摘要： In this study, we demonstrated a novel strategy for fabricating deformation-resistant nano-textured surfaces. Ordered arrays of IP-DIP photoresist nanodots of various diameters were first fabricated using two-photon lithography. IP-DIP/Al2O3 core-shell nanostructures (CSNs) were then formed by conformally coating the nanodots with Al2O3 of different thicknesses via atomic layer deposition (ALD). The CSNs showed 85% lower coefficients of friction than the bare IP-DIP nanodots and exhibited minimal nanostructure deformation at contact pressures greater than 20 GPa. The IP-DIP/Al2O3 CSNs also have lower adhesion forces than the bare IP-DIP nanodots. The excellent deformation resistance and superior tribological properties of these CSNs demonstrate that the combination of two-photon lithography and ALD is a very promising solution to tribological issues in miniaturized systems.

Luminescent silica based nanostructures from <i>in vivo</i> Iridium-doped diatoms microalgae.
摘要： A novel biotechnological approach to the preparation of Ir-doped luminescent silica based nanostructures is proposed availing of diatoms microalgae which generate highly nanostructured biosilica shells (frustules) by in vivo biomineralization of orthosilicic acid. After the in vivo incorporation of a phosphorescent organometallic complex (Ir-1) in Thalassiosira weissflogii diatom frustules (DFs), bulk functionalized phosphorescent silica based nanostructures are obtained by isolation and proper ultrafine processing of Ir-1 doped DFs. High-resolution characterization reveals the presence of phosphorescent hybrid organic/inorganic clusters (HCs) composed of biogenic silica NPs intimately trapped within the diatom organic residual matter. The bio-factory strategy investigated herein can be a sustainable, cost-effective and scalable route to transition metal doped silica nanomaterials, and can pave the way to a great variety of heavy-metal and rare-earth metal doped silica nanostructures, whose applications range from photonics to imaging, sensing and biomedicine.

Carbonized Bamboos as Excellent 3D Solar Vapor‐Generation Devices
摘要： Given the global challenges of water scarcity, solar-driven vapor generation has become a renewed topic as an energy-efficient way for clean water production. Here, it is revealed that bamboo, as a natural hierarchical cellular material, can be an excellent 3D solar vapor-generation device by a simple carbonization progress. A floating carbonized bamboo sample evaporates water with an extremely high vapor-generation rate of 3.13 kg m?2 h?1 under 1 sun illumination. The high evaporation rate is achieved by the unique natural structure of bamboos. The inner wall of bamboo recovers the diffuse light energy and the thermal radiation heat loss from the 3D bamboo bottom, and the outer wall captures energy from the warmer environment. The high evaporation rate is also attributed to reduced vaporization enthalpy of water confined in the bamboo mesh. Such bamboo-based high-performance, low-cost, self-cleaning, solid durable, and scalable 3D vapor-generation device has attractive applications in desalination as well as industrial and domestic wastewater abatement.

Surface-Plasmon Assisted Transmission Through an Ultrasmall Nanohole of ~ 10 nm with a Bull’s Eye Groove
摘要： We simulate the light transmission through an extremely small nanoscale aperture having a 10 nm diameter punctured in a metal ?lm positioned at the center of a plasmonic bull’s eye grating. A considerable directive emission of transmitted light with a divergence angle of 5.7 degrees was observed at 10 μm from the nanohole opening at the frequency of surface plasmon polariton excitation, an con?rmed by measuring the distance dependent transmission amplitude. Observations of the electric ?eld in cross-sectional, near-?eld, and far-?eld views near-?eld enhancement associated with the surface plasmon excitation, and the interference of the electric ?eld light through the nanohole in the near-?eld region is responsible for such a considerable directive emission.
