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.

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

Under various reaction conditions, four distinct morphologies including the sol, microemulsion, microgels and microspheres were formed during the distillation of the solvent from the reaction system. A 2D morphological map was established as a function of crosslinker concentration and the polar monomer AA concentration, in comonomer feed in the transition between the morphology domains. The effect of the covalent crosslinker DVB on the morphology of the polymer network was investigated in detail at AA fraction of 40 vol%. The ratios of acid to ethylene oxide units presenting in the comonomers dramatically affected the polymer-polymer interaction and hence the morphology of the resultant polymer network. The covalent crosslinking by DVB and the hydrogen bonding crosslinking between two acid units as well as between the acid and ethylene oxide unit played key roles in the formation of monodisperse polymer microspheres.展开更多

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

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.

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.

文摘Simultaneous achievement in high solid content and high microsphere yield is deemed a challenge in the fabrication of monodisperse microspheres by precipitation polymerization.We herein demonstrate that micro-sized monodisperse poly(methacrylic monomer-divinylbenzene)microspheres containing epoxy,lauyl,carboxyl and hydroxyl functions can be fabricated by solvothermal precipitation copolymerization at 20%(mass)monomer loading with over 94%microsphere yield.The morphology and porosity of the obtained particles can be readily tuned by cosolvent-acetonitrile binary solvents.Addition of a small amount of cosolvent that has similar solubility parameter to that of the functional monomer can significantly improve the monodispersity of the obtained microspheres.When tetrahydrofuran was used as the co-solvent,the surface area of the highly porous microspheres achieved higher than 400 m^(2)·g^(-1).Solvothermal precipitation co-polymerization can be expected in scale-up fabrication of various monodisperse functional microspheres free of any surfactant and additive.
文摘The active sites of monodisperse transition metal Ni-clusters were anchored on carbon nitride(CN)by an in situ photoreduction deposition method to promote the efficient separation of photogenerated charges and achieve high-efficiency photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution.The Ni-cluster/CN exhibited a photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 16.5 mmol·h^(-1)·g^(-1) and a total turnover frequency(TOF(H_(2)))value of 461.14 h^(-1).X-ray absorption spectroscopy based on synchrotron radiation indicated that CN had two reaction centers to form stable interface interactions with monodispersed Ni-clusters,in which carbon can act as an electron acceptor,while nitrogen can act as an electron donor.Meanwhile,the hybrid electronic structure of the Ni-cluster/CN system was constructed,which was favorable for photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production.An in-depth understanding of the interfacial interaction between CN and Ni-clusters will have important reference significance on the mechanistic study of development based on the cocatalyst.

文摘Monodisperse poly（poly（ethyleneglycol） methyl ether acrylate-co-acrylic acid） （poly（PEGMA-co-AA）） microspheres were prepared by distillation-precipitation polymerization with divinylbenzene （DVB） as crosslinker with 2,2＇- azobisisobutyronitrile （AIBN） as initiator in neat acetonitrile without stirring. Under various reaction conditions, four distinct morphologies including the sol, microemulsion, microgels and microspheres were formed during the distillation of the solvent from the reaction system. A 2D morphological map was established as a function of crosslinker concentration and the polar monomer AA concentration, in comonomer feed in the transition between the morphology domains. The effect of the covalent crosslinker DVB on the morphology of the polymer network was investigated in detail at AA fraction of 40 vol%. The ratios of acid to ethylene oxide units presenting in the comonomers dramatically affected the polymer-polymer interaction and hence the morphology of the resultant polymer network. The covalent crosslinking by DVB and the hydrogen bonding crosslinking between two acid units as well as between the acid and ethylene oxide unit played key roles in the formation of monodisperse polymer microspheres.

文摘Monodisperse microspheres （mean diameter 200-300 nm） with polystyrene cores and poly（acrylamide-co-butyl methacrylate） shells were prepared by using a free radical polymerization method. 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.

文摘Monodisperse ZrO2 nanoparticles capped by trioctylphosphine oxide （TOPO） were prepared in non-aqueous solvent using in-situ synthesis method. Transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer（XPS）, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, and thermogravimetric analysis（TGA） were adopted to characterize and investigate the size, structure, composition, and the binding manners between organic capping agent TOPO and inorganic ZrO2 nanocores of the as-prepared nanoparticles. In addition, the nanoparticles were also studied to determine their solubility and relative stability. The experimental results show that the prepared nanoparticles contain about 25% organic capping shell TOPO, 75% inorganic ZrO2 nanocores, and can be easily dissolved and be stably disersed in non-polar organic solvents.
