Synthesis of color-tunable CdTe/CdS:Mn core-shell nanocrystal emitters
摘要： This study presents CdTe/CdS:Mn core–shell nanocrystals (NCs) prepared in aqueous media, using thioglycolic acid as capping agent. Firstly, CdTe NCs were synthesized, and then, Mn-doped CdS shell were deposited on the top of the CdTe core under Ar atmosphere. The NCs were structurally and optically characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), photoluminescence (PL), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results obtained from XRD, XPS, PL, and EDX showed that the Mn ions were successfully introduced into the nanocrystalline shells. Moreover, the effect of Mn concentrations on the optical properties of the synthesized core-shell NCs was investigated. The effective band gap of the sample is in an indirect relationship with the Mn : Cd molar ratio, confirmed by PL analysis, and PL emissions can be measured at various wavelengths. The PL spectra showed 990 and 170 percent enhancement in the emission intensity of CdTe/CdS:Mn core/shell NCs (Mn: Cd 2.5%) compared to CdTe NCs and CdTe/CdS core/shell NCs, respectively. Consequently, the introduction of Mn dopants into the core-shell structures not only diminishes the density of quenching centers, but also reduces the effective band gap energies.

Multifunctional BaTiO <sub/>3</sub> -(Bi <sub/>0.5</sub> Na <sub/>0.5</sub> )TiO <sub/>3</sub> -based MLCC with high energy storage properties and temperature stability
摘要： BaTiO3-(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BTBNT)-based multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) chips with the inner electrodes being Ag0.6/Pd0.4 are prepared by a roll-to-roll casting method. The BTBNT-based MLCC chips with ten-dielectric layers can be sintered very well at a low temperature of 1130°C via two step sintering (TSS). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) results show that MLCC chips are a core-shell structure with two phases coexistence. The core exhibits a tetragonal phase at room temperature and then gradually changes into a cubic phase when the temperature increases above Tc (175°C). While, the shell exhibits a pseudocubic phase at all tested temperature from 25°C to 500°C. BTBNT-based MLCC chips exhibit a broad temperature stability and meet the requirement of Electronic Industries Association (EIA) X9R specifications. In terms of energy storage performance, a large discharge energy density of 3.33 J/cm3 can be obtained at 175°C under the applied electric field of 480 kV/cm. Among all tested temperature ranging from -50°C to 200°C, the energy efficiency of all chips is higher than 80%, even under a high applied electric field. The experimental results indicate that this novel BTBNT-based X9R MLCCs can be one of the most promising candidates for energy storage applications, especially operated in high temperature.

Quantitative Measure of the Size Dispersity in Ultrasmall Fluorescent Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Core-Shell Silica Nanoparticles by Small-angle X-ray Scattering
摘要： Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was performed on dispersions of ultrasmall (d < 10 nm) fluorescent organic-inorganic hybrid core-shell silica nanoparticles synthesized in aqueous solutions (C′ dots) by using an oscillating flow cell to overcome beam induced particle degradation. Form factor analysis and fitting was used to determine the size and size dispersity of the internal silica core containing covalently encapsulated fluorophores. The structure of the organic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) shell was modelled as a monodisperse corona containing concentrated and semi-dilute regimes of decaying density and as a simple polydisperse shell to determine the bounds of dispersity in the overall hybrid particle. C′ dots containing single growth step silica cores have dispersities of 0.19-0.21; growth of additional silica shells onto the core produces a thin, dense silica layer, and increases the dispersity to 0.22-0.23. Comparison to FCS and DLS measures of size shows good agreement with SAXS measured and modelled sizes and size dispersities. Finally, comparison of a set of same sized and purified particles demonstrates that SAXS is sensitive to the skewness of the gel permeation chromatography elugrams of the original as-made materials. These and other insights provided by quantitative SAXS assessments may become useful for generation of robust nanoparticle design criteria necessary for their successful and safe use, for example in nanomedicine and oncology applications.

Contactless Optical Characterization of Carrier Dynamics in Free-Standing InAs-InAlAs Core-Shell Nanowires on Silicon
摘要： Contactless time-resolved pump-probe and external quantum efficiency measurements were performed on epitaxially grown free-standing wurtzite indium arsenide/indium aluminum arsenide (InAs-InAlAs) core-shell nanowires on Si (111) substrate from 77K to 293K. The first independent investigation of Shockley-Read-Hall, radiative and Auger recombination in InAs-based NWs is presented. Although the Shockley-Read Hall recombination coefficient was found to be at least two orders of magnitude larger than the average experimental values of other reported InAs materials, the Auger recombination coefficient was reported to be ten-fold smaller. The very low Auger and high radiative rates result in an estimated peak internal quantum efficiency of the core-shell nanowires as high as 22% at 77K, making these nanowires of potential interest for high efficiency mid-infrared emitters. A greater than two-fold enhancement in minority carrier lifetime was observed from capping nanowires with a thin InAlAs shell due to passivation of surface defects.

Reversed Crystal Growth
摘要： In the last decade, a reversed growth route has been found in many crystal growth processes. In these systems, a single crystal does not develop from a single nucleus. The precursor molecules/ions or nanocrystallites aggregate into some large amorphous or polycrystalline particles. Multiple-nucleation on the surface of the amorphous particles or surface re-crystallization of the polycrystalline particles then takes place, forming a single crystal shell with a regular morphology. Finally, the crystallization extends from the surface to the core to form single crystals. This non-classical crystal growth route often results in some special morphologies, such as core-shell structures, hollow single crystals, sandwich structures, etc. This article gives a brief review of the research into reversed crystal growth and demonstrates that investigation of detailed mechanisms of crystal growth enables us to better understand the formation of many novel morphologies of the crystals. Some unsolved problems are also discussed.

Near-Infrared Lasing at 1 μm from a Dilute-Nitride-Based Multishell Nanowire
摘要： A coherent photon source emitting at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths is at the heart of a wide variety of applications ranging from telecommunications, optical gas sensing to biological imaging, and metrology. NIR-emitting semiconductor nanowires (NWs), acting both as a miniaturized optical resonator and as a photonic gain medium, are among the best-suited nanomaterials to achieve such goals. In this study, we demonstrate the NIR lasing at 1 μm from GaAs/GaNAs/GaAs core/shell/cap dilute nitride nanowires with only 2.5 % of nitrogen. The achieved lasing is characterized by an 'S'-shape pump-power dependence and narrowing of the emission line-width. Through examining the lasing performance from a set of different single NWs, a threshold gain, g_th, of 4100 – 4800 cm^{-1}, was derived, with a spontaneous emission coupling factor, β, up to 0.8, which demonstrate the great potential of such nanophotonic material. The lasing mode was found to arise from the fundamental HE11a mode of the Fabry-Perot cavity from a single NW, exhibiting optical polarization along the NW axis. Based on temperature dependence of the lasing emission, a high characteristic temperature, T_0, of 160(±10) K is estimated. Our results, therefore, demonstrate a promising alternative route to achieve room-temperature NIR NW lasers thanks to the excellent alloy tunability and superior optical performance of such dilute nitride materials.

Constructing 3D sub-micrometer CoO octahedrons packed with layered MoS2 shell for boosting photocatalytic overall water splitting activity
摘要： A 3D architectures of CoO@MoS2 composite photocatalyst was prepared by coating MoS2 onto the (1 1 1) facts of sub-micrometer CoO octahedrons via a facile solvothermal method. The CoO@MoS2 composites show a significantly improved photocatalytic activity for overall water splitting. At an optimal ratio of 3 wt% MoS2, CoO@MoS2-3% composite can split pure water with the stoichiometric ratio production of H2 and O2 under visible light irradiation, meanwhile, presents the highest H2 production evolution (1.07 μmol/h), which is almost four times than that of pure CoO (0.26 μmol/h). Moreover, the CoO@MoS2 composite still remains good stability after three successive cyclings (over 72 h). The enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability can be attributed that the layered MoS2 shell not only promoted the photo-induced charge transfer at the interface of CoO due to the sufficient contact area between CoO and MoS2, but also protected the exposed the (1 1 1) facts of CoO from devastation. Our work offers more insights into the development of a simple synthesis of well-shaped 3D-based composite photocatalysts towards the energy- and environmental-related applications.

Growth of Spherical Gold Satellites on the Surface of Au@Ag@SiO <sub/>2</sub> Core–Shell Nanostructures Used for an Ultrasensitive SERS Immunoassay of Alpha-Fetoprotein
摘要： The identification and detection of cancer biomarkers in early stages is an important issue for the therapy of cancer. However, most methods are time-consuming, limited sensing sensitivity and specificity. In this work, we prepared a novel plasmonic multilayered core–shell-satellite nanostructure (Au@Ag@SiO2-AuNP) consisting of an gold nanosphere with silver coating core (Au@Ag), an ultrathin continuous silica (SiO2) shell and high coverage of gold nanospheres (AuNPs) satellites. Au@Ag core is prominent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform and the thin SiO2 layer exhibits a long-range plasmon coupling between Au@Ag core to AuNPs satellites further leading to enhanced Raman scattering. Meanwhile, the outer AuNPs satellites have a high biocompatibility and long-term stability. Combining the above advantages, the well-designed metallic nanoassemblies would be a promising candidate for SERS-based applications in biochemistry. For specific detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), we utilized the SERS-active core-shell-satellite nanostructures modified with AFP antibody as immune probes and nitrocellulose membrane (NC) stabilized captured anti-AFP antibodies as solid substrate. To improve the detection performance, we further systematically optimized the parameters, including silver coating thickness of Au@Ag core, the density and size of satellite AuNPs. Under the optimized conditions, AFP could be detected by the SERS-based sandwich immunoassay with an ultralow detection limit of 0.3 fg/mL, and the method exhibited a wide linear response from 1 fg/mL to 1 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) was considerably lower than conventional methods in literature. This work relies on the unique Au@Ag@SiO2-AuNP nanostructures as immune probe develops a new outlook for the application of multilayered nanoassemblies and demonstrates the great potential in early tumor markers detection.

Energy Transfer between Tm-Doped Upconverting Nanoparticles and a Small Organic Dye with Large Stokes Shift
摘要： Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP) are being extensively studied for bioapplications due to their unique photoluminescence properties and low toxicity. Interest in RET applications involving UCNP is also increasing, but due to factors such as large sizes, ion emission distributions within the particles, and complicated energy transfer processes within the UCNP, there are still many questions to be answered. In this study, four types of core and core-shell NaYF4-based UCNP co-doped with Yb3+ and Tm3+ as sensitizer and activator, respectively, were investigated as donors for the Methyl 5-(8-decanoylbenzo[1,2-d:4,5-d']bis([1,3]dioxole)-4-yl)-5-oxopentanoate (DBD-6) dye. The possibility of resonance energy transfer (RET) between UCNP and the DBD-6 attached to their surface was demonstrated based on the comparison of luminescence intensities, band ratios, and decay kinetics. The architecture of UCNP influenced both the luminescence properties and the energy transfer to the dye: UCNP with an inert shell were the brightest, but their RET efficiency was the lowest (17%). Nanoparticles with Tm3+ only in the shell have revealed the highest RET efficiencies (up to 51%) despite the compromised luminescence due to surface quenching.

Metal-Organic Frameworks Derived from Zero-Valent Metal Substrates: Mechanisms of Formation and Modulation of Properties
摘要： The replicative construction of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) templated with solvent-insoluble solid substrates is of marked importance, as it allows for the assembly of 2D and 3D macro- and mesoscopic architectures with properties that are challenging to attain by the conventional solution-based synthesis approach. This work reports an in situ and direct construction of MOFs from zero-valent metal substrates via a green hydrothermal oxidation–MOF construction chemistry without the use of any additional metal source, chemical reagents, or acidification of solvent, and elucidates the zero-valent metal derived formation mechanisms of MOFs and their structure modulation to 1D nanofibers (NFs), 2D film, and 3D core–shell microstructures. Through modulation of the competing surface oxidation-dissolution and MOF crystallization kinetics, Al@MIL-53 core–shell microstructures and MIL-53 (Al) NFs are obtained that exhibit unique morphologies and marked properties superior to the conventional MIL-53 (Al) powders. The generality of zero-valent metal-templated synthesis of MOFs is demonstrated with formation of MIL-53 (Al), HKUST-1, and ZIF-7 polycrystalline films on Al, Cu, and Zn metal meshes, elucidating the significance of the approach utilizing solid metal substrate that can be easily processed into various shapes, architectures, and compositions.
