Physical And Chemical

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have expansive application prospects in electronics and optoelectronics devices due to their unique physical and chemical properties. 2D layered materials are easy to prepare due to the layered crystal structure and the interlayer van der Waals combination. However, the 2D nonlayered materials are difficult to prepare due to the nonlayered crystal structure and the combination of interlayer isotropic chemical bonds, resulting in limited research on 2D nonlayered materials with broad characteristics. Here, a 2D nonlayered NiSe material has been synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method. The atomic force microscopy study shows that the grown NiSe with a thin thickness. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy results demonstrate the uniformity and high quality of NiSe flakes. The NiSe based photodetector realizes the laser response to 830 nm and 10.6 μm and the maximum responsivity is ~6.96 A/W at room temperature. This work lays the foundation for the preparation of 2D nonlayered materials and expands the application of 2D nonlayered materials in optoelectronics fields.

Palladium nanoparticles are of great interest in many industrial fields, ranging from catalysis and hydrogen technology to microelectronics, thanks to their unique physical and chemical properties. In this work, palladium clusters have been prepared by reduction of [PdCl4]2−ions with ethylene glycol, in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) as stabilizer. The stabilizer performs the important role of nucleating agent for the Pd atoms with a fast phase separation, since palladium atoms coordinated to the polymer side-groups are forced at short distances during nucleation. Quasispherical palladium clusters with a diameter of ca. 2.6 nm were obtained by reaction in air at 90°C for 2 hours. An extensive materials characterization by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and other characterizations (TGA, SEM, EDS-SEM, and UV-Vis) has been performed in order to evaluate the structure and oxidation state of nanopalladium.

Diffusion and reaction of elements at the interfaces of nanostructured systems play an important role in controlling their physical and chemical properties for subsequent applications. ( Fe / Si ) nanolayers were prepared by thermal evaporation under ultrahigh vacuum onto a Si (100) substrate. A morphological characterization of these films was performed by combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR). The compositional depth profile of the ( Fe / Si ) structures was obtained by angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) and hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES). Moreover, determination of the stable phases formed at the Si on Fe interfaces was performed using conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Si / Fe interface thickness and roughness were determined to be 1.4 nm and 0.6 nm, respectively. A large fraction of the interface is composed of c- Fe 1-x Si paramagnetic phase, though a minoritary ferromagnetic Fe rich silicide phase is also present.

Zn-Co-S ball-in-ball hollow sphere (BHS) was successfully prepared by solvothermal sulfurization method. An efficient strategy to synthesize Zn-Co-S BHS consisted of multilevel structures by controlling the ionic exchange reaction was applied to obtain great performance electrode material. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a conductive agent were uniformly introduced with Zn-Co-S BHS to form Zn-Co-S BHS/CNTs and expedited the considerable electrocatalytic behavior toward glucose electro-oxidation in alkaline medium. In this study, characterization with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for investigating the morphological and physical/chemical properties and further evaluating the feasibility of Zn-Co-S BHS/CNTs in non-enzymatic glucose sensing. Electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA)) were performed to investigate the glucose sensing performance of Zn-Co-S BHS/CNTs. The synergistic effect of Faradaic redox couple species of Zn-Co-S BHS and unique conductive network of CNTs exhibited excellent electrochemical catalytic ability towards the glucose electro-oxidation, which revealed linear range from 5 to 100 μM with high sensitivity of 2734.4 μA mM−1 cm−2, excellent detection limit of 2.98 μM, and great selectivity in the presence of dopamine, uric acid, ascorbic acid, and fructose. Thus, Zn-Co-S BHS/CNTs would be expected to be a promising material for non-enzymatic glucose sensing.

Sic Coatings

SiC coatings were successfully synthesized on NextelTM440 fibers by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using methyltrichlorosilane as the original SiC source at 1373 K. After deposited, the fibers were fully surrounded by uniform coatings with some bulges. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) results indicated that the coatings were composed of β-SiC and free carbon. Moreover, thickness control of the coatings could be carried out by adjusting the deposition time. The coating thickness rose exponentially, and the exterior of the coatings became looser as the deposition time increased. The thickness of about 1.5 µm was obtained after depositing for 4 h. The coating thickness was also theoretically calculated, and the result agreed well with the measured thickness. Finally, the related deposition mechanism is discussed and a deposition model is built.

MoS2 nanoparticles with fullerene-like (IF-MoS2) structure were successfully obtained at heating temperature higher than 840 °C by chemical vapor deposition method in a three-tube furnace using MoO3 and S (sulfur) powders as raw materials. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersion X-ray spectrometerrespectively. IF-MoS2 nanoparticles can be obtained only in the narrow temperature range of 840 °C-870 °C, and the diameter of IF-MoS2 nanoparticles increases with temperature. A gradual formation mechanism of IF-MoS2 nanoparticles was discussed in detail.

We have studied the chemical composition of alumina ( Al 2 O 3) films grown on Si(100) at different substrate temperatures by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using aluminium acetylactonate { Al(acac) 3} as the precursor. We have found that the resulting films of Al 2 O 3 contain substantial amounts of carbon. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to study the chemical state of carbon present in such films. The XPS spectrum reveals that the carbon present in Al 2 O 3 film is graphitic in nature. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) was employed to study the distribution of carbon in the Al 2 O 3 films. The AES depth profile reveals that carbon is present throughout the film. The AES study on Al 2 O 3 films corroborates the XPS findings. An investigation of the Al 2 O 3/ Si (100) interface was carried out using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). The TEM study reveals textured growth of alumina film on Si(100), with very fine grains of alumina embedded in an amorphous carbon-containing matrix.

In this paper, we have synt hesized exotic carbon fibers with branched spurs by a chemical vapor deposition method using nickel catalyst precursor at 600 °C. No catalyst particles were found at the base of the carbon spurs, suggesting that the ni ckel catalyst particles, which were decomposed from the nickel catalyst precursor, facilitated the growth of the carbon fibers but not the spurs. The formation of the spurs resulted from the fluctuation of the carbon source gas acetylene flow. The samples were characterized by field emission sc anning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction.

The physical and chemical properties of basic beryllium acetate, OBe 4 (CH 3 .CO 2 ) 6 , are those of a non-ionised substance having the unitary structure of a typical organic compound, each chemical molecule of which may be regarded as forming one co-ordination complex. The fact that the arrangement of the eleven associating units of which this molecule is composed possesses the geometrical attributes of a tetrahedron has led to a stereochemical conception of the constitution of the compound, which is confirmed by the results of X-ray analysis.

Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition

Carbon nitride films were grown on Si substrates by a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method, using mixture of N2, CH4 and H2 as precursor. Scanning electron microscopy shows that the films consisted of a large number of hexagonal crystallites. The dimension of the largest crystallite is about 3 µm. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggests that nitrogen and carbon in the films are bonded through hybridized sp2 and sp3 configurations. The X-ray diffraction pattern indicates that the major part of the films is composed of α-, β-, pseudocubic C3N4 and graphitic C3N4. The Raman peaks match well with the calculated Raman frequencies of α- and β-C3N4, revealing the formation of the α- and β-C3N4 phase.

Environmentally Friendly Approach

We report a simple and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of Au-SiO2 composite nanospheres. Our method presents a route for the decoration of preformed amine functionalized SiO2 nanospheres by in situ formation of Au nanoparticles at three different concentrations of Au precursor (HAuCl4). Herein, the silane coupling agent (KH-550) is used as an intermediary to connect the Au nanoparticles to the surfaces of the SiO2 nanospheres, which helps avoid the aggregation of Au nanoparticles. The crystal structure, chemical elements, morphology and catalytic properties of the Au-SiO2 composite nanospheres were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-vis-spectrophotometer (UV-vis) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The analytical results demonstrate that the Au nanoparticles (4–9 nm) were homogeneously distributed on the surface of the SiO2 nanospheres, which had a good FCC crystal structure. Moreover, the Au-SiO2 composite nanospheres exhibited good catalytic properties, measured by their ability to reduce organic dyes. The Au-SiO2 composite nanospheres are promising candidates for applications in catalysis and wastewater treatment.
