Moreover, the effect of mixed solvent on the preparation, morphology and monodispersity was investigated. The experimental results showed that solubility parameter of butyl methacrylate and solvent affected mainly the molding of monodisperse core-shell microspheres. When the microspheres were fabricated in a sequential synthesis process, addition of hydrophilic and organic solvent including butyl methacrylate led to spherical degree of the particles becoming worse, and the mean diameter of the microspheres decreased and the monodispersity became better with increasing the crosslinker methylenebisacrylamide dosage.展开更多

Effects of content of HVV, its addition profile and composition of reaction media on particles size and incorporation of HVV moieties were mainly investigated. The attachment of silver and gold nanoparticles on particle surface under UV irradiation ascertained the surface-bonded HVV segments. SEM, TEM observations and XPS, zata potential measurements indicated that increase of initial HVV contents and addition of HVV (when polymerization had been performed for 3 h) led to grown particles and enhanced immobilization of HVV moieties. Using a mixture of ethylene glycol and water as reaction media, small particles (520-142 nm) with highly attached HVV moieties were prepared. Furthermore, antibacterial efficacy of the resultant particles against S. aureus was assayed, and particles with more HVV moieties anchored on surface demonstrated greater efficiency of antibacterial activity.展开更多

The as-prepared products were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the as-prepared products are titania glycolate submicrospheres with diameters of 230-330 nm. The average particle diameter is estimated to be about 280 nm. Ultrasonic treatment has an important influence on the morphology of the produced titania glycolates. After calcination at 450°C for 2 h, these titania glycolates were completely converted into anatase TiO2. The morphology of TiO2 particles was well reserved during the calcination process except for a reduction of 18% in the average particle size.展开更多

The highly monodisperse and size-controllable erbium aluminum garnet (EAG) precursors for transparent ceramics were successfully synthesized through a new microwave process. The precursors constituted of ultrafine particles joining together by a hydroxyls formed compact network structure in the absence of SO42 , however, the morphologies of the precursors exhibited spheres with trace amount of SO42-. With manipulated programming of microwave irradiation parameters, narrow distributed particles of 40-50 nm were finally obtained by a separation of nu- cleation and nanocrystal growth. The mechanism behind the influence of microwave irradiation parameters on the growth of EAG precursors was preliminarily analysed. Easily dispersible and pure phase EAG were obtained at 950℃. The as-prepared EAG powders were used to fabricate transparent ceramics and transparent polycrystalline EAG ceramics were obtained under hydrogen furnace at 1750℃ for 8 h.展开更多

Single molecule solar cells were fabricated, and FSB-hP exhibited the best device performance. When the film of FSB-hP was thermally annealed, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.56% was realized. With solvent vapor annealing, the PCE could be further improved to 1.72% with a short-circuit current (J_SC) of 5.76 mA/cm2, an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.87 V and a fill factor (FF) of 0.34.展开更多

The obtained copper oxalate microsized particles were disc-like in the presence of citrate ligand,which was the shape inducer for the precipitated copper oxalate. Thermodynamic equilibrium diagrams of the Cu(Ⅱ)-oxalate-H_2O,Cu(Ⅱ)-oxalate-citrate-H_2O, and Cu(Ⅱ)-oxalate-EDTA-H_2O solution systems were drawn to estimate the possible copper species under the experimental conditions and to explain the formation mechanisms of copper oxalate particles in the segmented fluidic reactor. Both theoretical and experimental results indicated that the presence of chelating reagents such as citrate and EDTA had distinct effect on the evolution of particle shape. Air and kerosene were tested as media for the fluidic flow segmentation, and the latter was verified to better promote the growth of copper oxalate particles. The present study provides an easy method to prepare monodispersed copper oxalate microsized particles in a continuous scaling-up way, which can be utilized to prepare the precursor material for conductive inks.展开更多

Two approaches, non-injection one-pot and hot-injection methods, are designed to investigate the growth mechanism in detail. It is found that the size and shape of nanoparticles are determined by adjusting the precursor concentration and duration time, which can be well explained by the mechanism based on the LaMer model in our synthetic system. The monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles have a mean diameter from 5nm to 16nm, and shape evolution from spherical to triangular and cubic. The magnetic properties are size-dependent, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles in small size about 5 nm exhibit superparamagnetie properties at room temperature and maximum saturation magnetization approaches to 78 emu/g, whereas Fe3O4 nanoparticles develop ferromagnetic properties when the diameter increases to about 16nm.展开更多

The mechanism behind the influence of microwave irradiation parameters on the growth of EAG precursors was preliminarily analysed. Easily dispersible and pure phase EAG were obtained at 950℃. The as-prepared EAG powders were used to fabricate transparent ceramics and transparent polycrystalline EAG ceramics were obtained under hydrogen furnace at 1750℃ for 8 h.

文摘Five novel donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated cooligomers (F4B-hP, F5B-hP, F5B2[1,2]-hP, F5B2[I,3]-hP and F7B2[1,2]-hP) were synthesized. The absorption spectra of the cooligomers cover a wide range from 300 nm to 630 nm. The cooligomers could form films featured by alternating D-A lamellar nanostructures with the periods relative to the molecular lengths after thermal annealing or solvent vapor annealing. Single molecule solar cells were fabricated, and FSB-hP exhibited the best device performance. When the film of FSB-hP was thermally annealed, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.56% was realized. With solvent vapor annealing, the PCE could be further improved to 1.72% with a short-circuit current (J_SC) of 5.76 mA/cm2, an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.87 V and a fill factor (FF) of 0.34.

文摘We described a simple one-step process for the synthesis of oleic acid-capped magnetite nanoparticles using the dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) to oxidize the precursor Fe^(2+) at 140℃.By adjusting the alkalinity of the reaction system,magnetite nanoparticles with two sizes of 4 and 7 nm could be easily achieved.And the magnetite nanoparticles coated by oleate were well-monodispersed in organic solvent.
文摘Monodispersed microsized copper oxalate particles were prepared in a segmented continuous flow tube reactor, and the effect of the main parameters such as organic additive agent, initial copper ions concentration, residence time, and segmented media on the final products were investigated experimentally. The obtained copper oxalate microsized particles were disc-like in the presence of citrate ligand,which was the shape inducer for the precipitated copper oxalate. Thermodynamic equilibrium diagrams of the Cu(Ⅱ)-oxalate-H_2O,Cu(Ⅱ)-oxalate-citrate-H_2O, and Cu(Ⅱ)-oxalate-EDTA-H_2O solution systems were drawn to estimate the possible copper species under the experimental conditions and to explain the formation mechanisms of copper oxalate particles in the segmented fluidic reactor. Both theoretical and experimental results indicated that the presence of chelating reagents such as citrate and EDTA had distinct effect on the evolution of particle shape. Air and kerosene were tested as media for the fluidic flow segmentation, and the latter was verified to better promote the growth of copper oxalate particles. The present study provides an easy method to prepare monodispersed copper oxalate microsized particles in a continuous scaling-up way, which can be utilized to prepare the precursor material for conductive inks.

文摘Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with different sizes and shapes are synthesized by the thermal decomposition method. Two approaches, non-injection one-pot and hot-injection methods, are designed to investigate the growth mechanism in detail. It is found that the size and shape of nanoparticles are determined by adjusting the precursor concentration and duration time, which can be well explained by the mechanism based on the LaMer model in our synthetic system. The monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles have a mean diameter from 5nm to 16nm, and shape evolution from spherical to triangular and cubic. The magnetic properties are size-dependent, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles in small size about 5 nm exhibit superparamagnetie properties at room temperature and maximum saturation magnetization approaches to 78 emu/g, whereas Fe3O4 nanoparticles develop ferromagnetic properties when the diameter increases to about 16nm.
