基于SnO2/TiO2/Au NPs纳米复合材料发展光电化学方法特异性检测唾液酸

制备了氧化铟锡（ITO）/二氧化锡（SnO₂）/二氧化钛（TiO₂）/金纳米粒子（Au NPs）纳米复合电极（ITO/SnO₂/TiO₂/Au NPs）,并利用它发展了可以选择性检测唾液酸（SA）的光电化学（PEC）法.采用旋涂法制备了ITO/SnO₂电极,并通过静电纺丝和磁控溅射技术在ITO/SnO₂表面原位合成了TiO₂纳米纤维和Au NPs.与单纯SnO₂比,ITO/SnO₂/TiO₂/Au NPs纳米复合电极的光电性能显著提高.这可能与Au NPs的局域表面等离子体共振效应（LSPR）和TiO₂/SnO₂异质结之间的协同作用密切相关.之后,通过金硫键（Au-S）将四巯基苯硼酸（4-MPBA）修饰在ITO/SnO₂/TiO₂/Au NPs电极表面,利用4-MPBA和SA之间的非特异性酯化反应,发展了可以特异性检测SA的PEC传感平台.

通过简单的石墨相氮化碳(g-C₃N₄)纳米片自组装沉积法,制备了g-C₃N₄包裹的SnO₂-TiO₂纳米复合材料.扫描电子显微镜观察显示,g-C₃N₄均匀地包裹在SnO₂-TiO₂纳米颗粒上.SnO₂-TiO₂-C₃N₄纳米复合材料被用作锂离子电池的负极材料,在0.2C的倍率下循环20次后,比容量达到380.2 mA·h·g^-1,明显高于未经g-C₃N₄包裹的纯的SnO₂(51.6 mA·h·g^-1)和SnO₂-TiO₂纳米复合材料.在0.1~0.5C的倍率充放电测试中,SnO₂-TiO₂-C₃N₄纳米复合材料的比容量仅从490 mA·h·g^-1衰减到330 mA·h·g^-1,高倍率下抗衰减性能优于同类材料.材料优异的电化学性能归功于g-C₃N₄的包裹处理,这不仅增强了固体电解质界面(SEI)的稳定性,也抑制了锂离子嵌入-脱出时SnO₂和TiO₂纳米颗粒的体积变化.

Eu3+ions embedded in silica thin films codoped with SnO2 nanocrystals were fabricated by sol–gel and spin-coating methods.SnO2 nanocrystals with controllable sizes were synthesized through precisely controlling the Sn concentrations.The influences of doping and annealing conditions on the photoluminescence intensity from SnO2 nanocrystals are systematically investigated.The effective energy transfer from the defect states of SnO2nanocrystals to nearby Eu3+ions has revealed by the selective photoluminescence excitation spectra.The efficiency of the Forster resonance energy transfer is evaluated by the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements,which is about 29.1%based on the lifetime tests of the SnO2emission.     

One-pot synthesis of Sb-Fe-carbon-fiber composites with in situ catalytic growth of carbon fibers

A Sb-Fe-carbon-fiber (CF) composite was prepared by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with in situ growth of CFs using Sb₂O₃/Fe₂O₃ as the precursor and acetylene (C₂H₂) as the carbon source. The Sb-Fe-CF composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and its electrochemical performance was investigated by galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The Sb-Fe-CF composite shows a better cycling stability than the Sb-amorphous-carbon composite prepared by the same CVD method but using Sb₂O₃ as the precursor. Improvements in cycling stability of the Sb-Fe-CF composite can be attributed to the formation of three-dimensional network structure by CFs, which can connect Sb particles firmly. In addition, the CF layer can buffer the volume change effectively.

SnO₂/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been studied as gas sensing materials.

The sensing improvement is explained in terms of the appropriate basal resistance and enhanced signal transfer brought by MWNTs.

Mechanism of forming an ink-bottle-like pore structure based on SBA-15 by a novel MOCVD technique

Metallorganic chemical vapor deposition is used as a novel simple pore tailoring method to fine-tune the pore opening size of SBA-15 materials without significant loss in pore volume and surface area. By using acetylene as carbon source and copper (II) acetylacetonate as precursor, the poremouth of SBA-15 is effectively reduced from 5.78 nm to 3.67 nm while maintaining the pore body at 5.78 nm. The effect of four pore modification factors-the ratio of acetylene/nitrogen, the feeding time of carbon precursor, the ratio of SBA-C/Cu(acac)₂ and the cycles of MOCVD on the final pore structure of the SBA-15/carbon/copper composite is studied. The morphology and microstructure of the resulting product SBA-C-Cu are characterized by XRD patterns, TEM images and EDS analysis. The XRD and TEM reveal that the SBA-C-Cu composite is highly hexagonally ordered and has similar particle morphology as the original SBA-15.     

The characteristic of electrochemical oxidation of aniline on SnO2/Ti electrode

The characteristic of electrochemical oxidation of aniline on SnO₂/Ti electrode is studied. The results indicate that SnO₂/Ti electrode dopedF plays a wonderful role in the oxidation of aniline comparing with Pt electrode. The kinetics factors that influence the oxidation rate of aniline on the SnO₂/Ti electrode are determined by the dissolving of the film on the electrode. The dissolving of the film consisted of intermediate products on the electrode is the slow step. The effects of aniline concentration, pH in aniline solution and the current density (i) on the rate of aniline oxidation, the complexity of intermediate products and the basic category of the intermediate products consisted of the film are introduced.

This review focuses on recent developments in the nanostructured SnO2 photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells （DSSCs） applications. Carefully designed and fabricated nanostructured SnO2 films are advantageous for effective improvement in performance of DSSCs. Nano- crystals can offer a large surface area for dye adsorption; nanowires are able to provide a direct transfer pathway for the rapid collection of photogenerated electrons; the mes- oporous, monodisperse beads with a submicrometer-sized diameter ensure a large specific surface area for dye adsorption and simultaneously promote light scattering; the surface modification of SnO2 by other oxides may improve the photovoltage and photocurrent, hence resulting in the higher power conversion efficiency of SnO2-based DSSCs.

Fabrication of high quality strained SiGe on Si substrate by RPCVD

In this study,the growth kinetics of SiGe in a reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition system using dichlorosilane(SiH2Cl2) and germane(GeH4) as the Si and Ge precursors were investigated.The SiGe growth rate and Ge content were found to depend on the deposition temperature,GeH4 flow and reactor chamber pressure.The SiGe growth rate escalates with increasing deposition temperature,while the Ge content is reduced.The SiGe growth rate accelerates with increasing GeH4 flow,while the Ge content increases more slowly.According to the experimental data,a new relationship between Ge content(x) and F(GeH4)/F(SiH2Cl2) mass flow ratio is deduced:x2.5/(1x) = nF(GeH4)/F(SiH2Cl2).The SiGe growth rate and Ge content improve with increasing reactor chamber pressure.By selecting proper precursor flows and reactor pressure,SiGe films with the same Ge content can be fabricated at various temperatures.However,the quality of the SiGe crystals is clearly dependent on the deposition temperature.At lower deposition temperature,higher crystalline quality is achieved.Because the growth rate dramatically drops with lower temperatures,the optimum growth temperature must be a compromise between the crystalline quality and the growth rate.X-ray diffraction,Raman scattering spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy results indicate that 650°C is the optimum temperature for fabrication of Si0.75Ge0.25 film.
