TiO2/SnO2 and SnO2/TiO2 heterostructures as photocatalysts for degradation of stearic acid and methylene blue under UV irradiation
摘要： The effect TiO2/SnO2 (TiO2 is on the top and SnO2 at the bottom) and SnO2/TiO2 (SnO2 is on the top and TiO2 at the bottom) heterostructures towards photocatalytic degradation of stearic acid and methylene blue is reported. The two heterostructures, wherein SnO2 (or TiO2) is the top or bottom layer, are prepared by the sol-gel technique. TiO2/SnO2 film exhibit better photocatalytic activity as compared to SnO2/TiO2, TiO2 and SnO2 films. Wettability studies reveal that TiO2/SnO2 films modified with stearic acid (8mM concentration of stearic acid in ethyl alcohol) tend towards superhydrophobic regime with contact angle as high as 137o. Further, TiO2/SnO2 films are efficient in degrading the stearic acid under UV irradiation. Interestingly, TiO2/SnO2 films that display flake like structures, with increased charge separation, are responsible for better degradation of pollutants under UV irradiation because of coupling heterostructures.

A Facile Approach for Fabricating Microstructured Surface Based on Etched Template by Inkjet Printing Technology
摘要： Microstructures are playing an important role in manufacturing functional devices, due to their unique properties, such as wettability or ?exibility. Recently, various microstructured surfaces have been fabricated to realize functional applications. To achieve the applications, photolithography or printing technology is utilized to produce the microstructures. However, these methods require preparing templates or masks, which are usually complex and expensive. Herein, a facile approach for fabricating microstructured surfaces was studied based on etched template by inkjet printing technology. Precured polydimethylsiloxane substrate was etched by inkjet printing water-soluble polyacrylic acid solution. Then, the polydimethylsiloxane substrate was cured and rinsed, which could be directly used as template for fabricating microstructured surfaces. Surfaces with raised dots, lines, and squares, were facilely obtained using the etched templates by inkjet printing technology. Furthermore, controllable anisotropic wettability was exhibited on the raised line microstructured surface. This work provides a ?exible and scalable way to fabricate various microstructured surfaces. It would bring about excellent performance, which could ?nd numerous applications in optoelectronic devices, biological chips, microreactors, wearable products, and related ?elds.

Effects of Proton Radiation-Induced Defects on Optoelectronic Properties of MoS2
摘要： We report on photoluminescence spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope imaging of suspended and substrate-supported flakes of the 2D semiconductor MoS2 before and after exposure to 100 keV proton radiation with fluences of 6x1013, 6x1014, and 6×1015 p/cm2 and subsequent annealing. An indirect-to-direct band gap transition is observed, which is preserved after annealing. This transition is accompanied by an unexpected increase in photoluminescence intensity after radiation exposure of multi-layer samples, which is attributed to higher radiative efficiency of the direct gap transition.

Biomimetic fog harvesting surface by photo-induced micro-patterning of zinc-oxide silver hierarchical nanostructures
摘要： As water scarcity has become a major global problem, fog-harvesting technologies are considered an effective sustainable solution for water resources. Here, we report a novel approach to the fog-harvesting technology using zinc oxide-silver hierarchical nanostructures to mimic the Stenocara beetle’s back. Vertically aligned zinc oxide nanowires are first fabricated by a cost-effective and scalable hydrothermal method to produce a super-hydrophilic surface. Silver nanoparticles are then selectively synthesized by an additional photo-induced synthetic process on the zinc oxide nanowire surfaces to form a hydrophobic surface using the hierarchical nanostructures. The fog-harvesting performance was investigated using an artificial fog flow and by measuring the amount of harvested water for efficient fog harvesting. On the superhydrophilic surface, although the water droplets immediately were captured, they formed a puddle at the bottom of the surface due to the high adhesion between water and the surface. In contrast, on the hydrophobic surface, the capturing rate was very low even though the water droplets easily rolled off the surface. Compared to the non-patterned surface, the captured water film on the patterned hydrophilic region grew rapidly into a spherical shape and separated from the surface due to the surrounding hydrophobic regions. As a result, the patterned surface with 0.5 mm pattern size afforded a higher fog collection rate of 1233 mg/h than those of the superhydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces of 1105 mg/h and 879 mg/h respectively.

Retraction： Wetting Behavior of Single Crystal TiO<sub>2</sub> by Liquid Iron
摘要： The wetting behavior of TiO2 by liquid iron was investigated by using the sessile drop method. A partial melting behavior was found to appear at the temperature below the melting point of the pure iron. Also a solid solution TiOx–FeO phase was observed between the pure iron and TiO2 substrate. The formation of this reaction layer is due to the reaction among the pure iron, TiO2 substrate and the oxygen gas. The main source of the oxygen gas for reaction is from the TiO2 substrate decomposition and a low partial pressure of oxygen near the sample.

Electromagnetic Wave Blocking Effect of Ophthalmological Hydrophilic Lenses Material Containing Indium Tin Oxide Nanoparticles
摘要： PEGMEMA was applied as an additive in the primary polymerization, which resulted in the higher water content and wettability of ophthalmological hydrophilic lenses. ITO (indium tin oxide) is highly electroconductive, and it is possible to use thin ITO to create a transparent protective film in various field. The use of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone as an additive in the secondary polymerization provided the hydrogel lenses with the feature of blocking ultraviolet rays. Also, ITO nanoparticles were added to the lenses materials during the tertiary polymerization to shield the wearers from the electromagnetic wave. When PEGMEMA, 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, and ITO nanoparticles is used as additives, it is possible to manufacture high-functional ophthalmological hydrophilic lenses with the features of high water content, high wettability, and ultraviolet ray and electromagnetic wave blocking effect.

Effect of substrate bias and substrate/plasma generator distance on properties of a-C:H:SiOx films synthesized by PACVD
摘要： In this paper the a-C:H:SiOx films were synthesized on silicon (100) and glass substrates by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition combined with pulsed bipolar substrate bias from mixtures of argon and polyphenylmethylsiloxane vapor. The process of a-C:H:SiOx films formation was investigated by controlling processing conditions such as amplitude of negative pulse of substrate bias and the distance between the substrate and plasma generator. Physico-mechanical characteristics of a-C:H:SiOx films were studied by the nanoindentation technique, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The contact angle and surface free energy were determined by the sessile drop method using couple liquids (water and glycerin). It was found that the films’ properties are interrelated with the density of the ion current on the substrate, which was measured using a guarded planar probe. The obtained results show that film prepared at the smaller substrate/plasma generator distance and optimal substrate biasing has a higher content of sp3 bonded carbon and, accordingly, has higher hardness, Young's modulus and resistance to plastic deformation. At the same time the a-C:H:SiOx films show large hydrophobicity with a contact angle for water of about 91° and small total surface free energy of about 17.9 mN/m.

Hybrid of quantum dots for interfacial tension reduction and reservoir alteration wettability for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
摘要： Nanoparticle stabilized emulsions in enhanced oil recovery are more attractive and practical than conventional emulsions which stabilized by colloidal particles and different surfactants due to their advantages and special characteristics such as high stability in harsh condition, move long distance in reservoirs without high retention due to small size of nanoparticles. Only one third of original oil in place (OIP) is usually produced and two third of oil in place will be trapped to reservoir rockthus suitable chemical enhanced oil recovery (C-EOR) methods should be used. In this research, we have suggested a novel, economical and commercial method for synthesis N-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs)/MoS2 quantum dots (MQDs) nanohybrids for preparing different percentage of Nanoemulsions which can reduce alterfacial tension significantly so it can used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) application. MoO3 material was used as a base of MQDs. MQDs was synthesized via exfoliation of MoS2 nanoparticles by Butyl lithium under N2 atmosphere condition. N-GQDs were synthesized by citric acid and urea materials via hydrothermal method. GQDs/MQDs were prepared via a simple sol-gel method for 5 h string. Synthetic materials were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV–visible absorption, Scanning Microscopic Electron (SEM), EDX profile and mapping, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), High Resolution Transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Then, emulsions were prepared with two different cationic and anionic surfactants and the stability and morphology of emulsion droplets were investigated in condition close to reservoir environment. Our results show that 10% GQDs/MQDs in cationic surfactant and 50% GQDs/MQDs in anionic surfactant have good stability and very small and fine emulsion droplets in simulated reservoir conditions in laboratory. The Interfacial Tension (IFT) measurement shows N70% improvement which indicates the high ability of these nanohybrids in reducing the surface tension than previous nanohybrids. Contact angle values show that these nanohybrids can alter the wettability of reservoir rock from oil-wet to water-wet so the trapped oil in the porous region of rock can be easily extracted in the presence of a layer of these nanohybrids. Furthermore, according to the results of altering the density and viscosity of nanohybrids, these are not as limiting parameters and only about 1% increasing observed for density and viscosity, respectively. Coreflooding test revealed the high oil recovery efficiency (22%) at very low nanofluid concentration (0.01 wt%).

Wettability Control of Copper Surface Using Picosecond Laser for Enhancing Condensation Heat Transfer
摘要： One of the most important and widely visualized process taking place in nature is condensation. Superhydrophobic surfaces, which facilitates dropwise condensation has been the principal area of research in the last decade or so. Fabrication of superhydrophobic surface can be achieved by either surface modification using mechanical process, surface treatment like coating or by the combination of both. But, the major drawback of coating is its durability and vulnerability. So, in this work we have fabricated a robust surface by means of picosecond laser machining. Apart from being a simple process, this method has an advantage of cutting down the surface fabrication time by several hours as compared to other methods like one-step immersion, electro-deposition, top-down fabrication method, etc. In our work three different work specimens irradiated with different laser power were studied for its surface morphologies by scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and its wettability was measured using contact angle meter. It is found that the wettability of surface changes with different laser power and hence it is possible to control the wettability by adjusting the laser parameters. Condensation experiment was carried out on these different surfaces and its performance was compared with plain surface.

Ultrafast Laser Processing of Nanostructured Patterns for the Control of Cell Adhesion and Migration on Titanium Alloy
摘要： Femtosecond laser texturing is a promising surface functionalization technology to improve the integration and durability of dental and orthopedic implants. Four different surface topographies were obtained on titanium-6aluminum-4vanadium plates by varying laser processing parameters and strategies: surfaces presenting nanostructures such as laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) and ‘spikes’, associated or not with more complex multiscale geometries combining micro-pits, nanostructures and stretches of polished areas. After sterilization by heat treatment, LIPSS and spikes were characterized to be highly hydrophobic, whereas the original polished surfaces remained hydrophilic. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) grown on simple nanostructured surfaces were found to spread less with an increased motility (velocity, acceleration, tortuosity), while on the complex surfaces, hMSCs decreased their migration when approaching the micro-pits and preferentially positioned their nucleus inside them. Moreover, focal adhesions of hMSCs were notably located on polished zones rather than on neighboring nanostructured areas where the protein adsorption was lower. All these observations indicated that hMSCs were spatially controlled and mechanically strained by the laser-induced topographies. The nanoscale structures influence surface wettability and protein adsorption and thus influence focal adhesions formation and finally induce shape-based mechanical constraints on cells, known to promote osteogenic differentiation.
