Self-rolled TiO_2 microscroll/graphene composite for electrochemical dopamine sensing

Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter,and nonenzyme electrochemical sensor of dopamine detection based on highly active material is urgently demanded.In this work,an electrochemical sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity based on self-rolled TiO_2microscroll/graphene composite was developed and validated for dopamine sensing.The device exhibited a superior performance for dopamine detection with a detection limit of 4.25×10~(-9)mol L~(-1),and in the dopamine concentration range of 0.06–90μmol L~(-1),the oxidation currents increased linearly with the concentration.The remarkable performance enhancement was mainly ascribed to the increased surface area due to the porous surface of the TiO_2nanomembrane and highly conductive graphene therein.In addition,we have demonstrated that the sensor could be effectively used on detecting dopamine concentrations in urine samples.Our work demonstrates that the current microscroll-based device is promising in the field of real-time health monitoring for future human community.     

Solid-state Synthesis of Carbon-nanostructures

1 Results In addition to single wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes[1], several structures,which are more or less related to fullerenes,including carbon nanohorns[2a], carbon nanospheres[2b] and onion like carbon structures[2c] have been reported.A new simple straight forward method to access some of these structures is the solid-state pyrolysis of different organometallic complexes in a sealed vessel,which led so far to carbon nanotubes[3a,b], carbon nanocables[3c] and onions[3d].     

Superhydrophobicity on Micro-and Nanostructured Polyolefin Surfaces:an Experimental and Theoretical Study

1 Results Simultaneous micro-and nanostructuring was prepared on polyolefin surfaces by injection molding.The molds were made of electropolished aluminum foil where the micropatterns were structured with a custom made robot.Nanopatterns were subsequently created on the molds by oxidizing the aluminum surface electrochemically in polyprotic acid.The preparation technique allowed simultaneous control of the dimensions of the micro-and nanostructures.Structuring has a remarkable effect on the contact angle...     

基于扫描电子显微镜的单根一维纳米材料原位场发射性能研究

基于扫描电子显微镜和纳米探针技术,展示了一维纳米材料原位场发射的测量方法和实例。实验以钨针尖为接收极,纳米材料为发射极,通过结合扫描电子显微镜的实时成像功能,纳米探针的精确操纵及电学测量技术以及激光辐照功能,系统研究了极间距离D、形貌变化、吸附气体和激光注入对单根多壁碳纳米管和氧化锌纳米线场发射性能的影响。结果表明,当D远小于纳米材料长度L的3倍时,D越小,开启场强和阈值场强越大,场发射性能越弱。此外,纳米线尖端曲率半径越大,场增强因子越小,场发射性能越弱。研究还发现O2的脱附和激光辐照有助于纳米材料场发射性能的提高。     

Nanostructural evolution of Zn by dry roller vibration milling at room temperature

It remains open to date to produce stable nanostructures of single element by dry mechanical method at room temperature on a large scale. Here we report nanostructural evolution of zinc by dry roller vibration milling at room temperature, which leads to structurally near perfect zinc flakes sized 3?5 nm in diameter. The synthesized nanostructures are single crystalline, transparent, uniform, randomly oriented, almost equiaxed, and mostly free from defects. The evolution seems to open a way to optimize zinc nanostructures by the mechanical method, offer valuable references to prepare nanostructures of other metals optimally, and shed light on how to lower the size limit by mechanical milling. Single elemental metal nanostructures with excellent properties give rise to new opportunities in scientific research and development of nanotechnology.

表面等离激元光学力研究进展

当一束光照射在物质上,光子与物质发生动量交换,部分动量转移到物质,等效于对物质产生作用力,称为光学力.这一作用力非常弱,一般在pN甚至更小的量级,但一定条件下,仍足以捕获和操纵纳米、微米尺度的物体.在金属纳米结构中,由于表面等离激元共振效应,诱导的局域电场可以产生增强的光学力,可以在亚波长尺度实现光操纵,并且由此衍生出一个极具吸引力的研究方向——表面等离激元光学力.本文介绍了利用金属纳米结构进行表面等离激元光学力操纵的最新研究进展.
