We describe here a surface-bound, oxide-based procedure for the photooxidation of a family of aromatic hydrocarbons by a phosphate-bearing flavin mononucleotide (FMN) photocatalyst on high surface area metal-oxide films.

ABSTRACTVery high surface area nanostructured metal electrodes are of interest as efficient current collectors. For thin film devices, the nanostructured metal can be grown in place using electrodeposition or electroless deposition. For larger devices metal electrodes structured at more than one length scale are desirable. Self-assembling surfactant templates are a versatile method of generating a range of nanostructures. As we report here, electrodeposition of nickel, cobalt and copper from liquid crystalline solutions of Triton X-100 produces a number of nanostructures, with significant surface area increases. Electrodeposition into templates with microstructure has proven more demanding. Oil-in-water Microemulsions of Tween surfactants and soy oil, produce micrometer scale structures, however measured nickel surface area does not scale with sample thickness. The method is also not robust, and was found to give microstructures only for nickel and cobalt. Experiments show that under our conditions a combination of nickel metal, nickel acetate and nickel/detergent microstructures are formed.

In literature, many papers describe the applications of semiconductor as sensitive material in sensor field. The gas sensor using tin oxide requires a strictly controlled high operating temperature in order to detect both reducing and oxidizing gases. The semiconductor nanoparticles, with their high specific surface area, increase the gas sensing performance. The originality of this work is to valorize the nanoparticle of metal oxide like SnO2, TiO2 obtained by microwave thermohydrolysis synthesis, using a gas sensing microwave transduction. The present synthesis is to prepare metal oxide nanocrystalline powder with a high surface area by microwave-induced thermohydrolysis. We propose to study the influence of the metal oxide nanoparticle, as a sensitive layer, in gas sensing measurement. The pollutant is added into an argon flow (dynamic regim). This work highlights a specific sensor response to each ammonia concentration at room temperature. It shows a quasi-linear relationship between the set of points of the real part of the response and the ammonia concentration. The authors are currently working on these issues as well as the interaction mechanism between adsorbed gas molecules and metal oxide films.

A non-system specific method for the synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles with high homogeneity, spherical morphology and high surface areas is proposed based on an aqueous precipitation.
