Photoluminescence from GaAs nanostructures
摘要： The confinement properties of semiconductor nanostructures have promising potential in technological application. The main objective of this study is to describe the dependence of Photoluminescence (PL) intensity on different parameters like temperature, excitation wavelength, time and photon energy of GaAs quantum dots (QDs). The model equations are numerically analyzed and simulated with matlab and FORTRAN codes. The experimental fitted values and physical properties of materials are used as data source for our simulation. The result shows that at low temperature the peak is quite sharp, as temperature increases the PL intensity decreases and get quenched at particular thermal energy.

Nickel ion detection by imidazole modified carbon dots
摘要： Nickel ions (Ni2+) were detected by a new imidazole modified carbon dots (CDs) based on fluorescence quenching method. Structural characterization of CD-imidazole quantum dots were accomplished by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Spectroscopic properties were characterized by ultraviolet absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum. Ni2+ concentration showed good linear relationship with fluorescence quenching efficiency in the range of 6-100 mM (R = 0.99) and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.93 mM. Imidazole modified CDs have strong selectivity of Ni2+ compared with other metal ions in aqueous solution. These results demonstrated that the fluorescence sense platform based on imidazole modified CDs can be applied to Ni2+ detection in environment.

Physicochemical and Ion-Sensing Properties of Benzofurazan-Appended Calix[4]arene in Solution and on Gold Nanoparticles: Spectroscopy, Microscopy, and DFT Computations in Support of the Species of Recognition
摘要： A calix[4]arene conjugate (L) functionalized at the lower rim with a benzofurazan fluorophore (NBD) and at the upper rim with a thioether moiety has been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry techniques. Both the absorption and emission spectral data for L in different solvents exhibited progressive changes with an increase in polarity. Ion recognition studies were performed by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy using 10 different metal ions. Among these, Hg2+ exhibited greater changes in these spectra, whereas Cu2+ showed only significant changes and all other ions showed no change in the spectral features. Although the Hg2+ has dominant influence on the spectral features and provides a detection limit of 56.0 ± 0.6 ppb, the selectivity was hampered because of the presence of the derivatizations present on both the rims of L for ion interaction in solution. Therefore, L was immobilized onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPL) so that the upper rim derivatizations anchor onto the gold surface through Au?S interactions, and this leaves out only the lower rim NBD derivatization for interaction with ions selectively. The AuNPL’s were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The surface characteristics were analyzed by contact angle measurements. The AuNPL’s exhibit greater selectivity and enhanced sensitivity for Hg2+ ions with a lowest detection limit of 48.0 ± 0.8 ppb. The immobilization of L onto AuNPs was reflected in the corresponding fluorescence lifetime values, and the addition of Hg2+ to either L or AuNPL showed fluorescence quenching. The reversible recognition of Hg2+ by L was demonstrated by titrating L or AuNPL with Hg2+ followed by tetra-butyl ammonium iodide for several cycles. The structural features of Hg2+-bound species were demonstrated by density functional theory computations and were supported by the XPS data. The Hg2+ induces aggregated fibrillar morphology into supramolecular L, as demonstrated by microscopy when Hg2+ was added either to L or to AuNPL, supporting aggregation-caused quenching.

Enhanced Temperature Stability and Defect Mechanism of BNT-Based Lead-Free Piezoceramics Investigated by a Quenching Process
摘要： Because of the environmental concerns of eliminating lead from piezoelectric products, bismuth-based perovskite is becoming one of the most potential candidates. However, its relatively low thermal depolarization temperature (Td) is still an imperative obstacle hindering implementation of this material for practical application. Here, an enhanced temperature stability of 0.94(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.06BaTiO3 (BNTBT6) piezoceramics is reported, which can be obtained by the effective quenching process. Quenching process enhances the depolarization temperature to 136 °C, which is 40 °C higher than that of normal sintered samples. By using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance methods, it is revealed that oxygen vacancy may exist in the quenched samples and consequently pins the domain walls, resulting in significant enhancement of depolarization temperature. Temperature-dependent dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric behaviors are measured as criteria to evidence the enhanced temperature stability.

Oxygen vacancy‐rich anatase TiO2 hollow spheres via liquid nitrogen quenching process for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
摘要： Development of novel methods to obtain highly active catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is desired. This work reports a facile preannealing-quenching strategy to synthesize oxygen vacancy-rich anatase TiO2 hollow spheres. TiO2 hollow spheres are first synthesized via a versatile kinetics-controlled coating method and then subjected to high temperature preannealing followed by rapid quenching in liquid-nitrogen (-196 oC). The as-quenched samples appear light grey suggesting the presence of abundant surface oxygen vacancies, which are subsequently confirmed by the comprehensive analyses of XRD, XPS and EPR spectra. The oxygen vacancies induced by quenching process are proved to have promoted the light adsorption and inhibited the recombination of photo-induced charges for TiO2 hollow spheres, which obviously improve the photocatalytic performance of those samples. The results showed that the TiO2 hollow spheres quenched at 500 oC exhibited a robust stability and the most excellent photocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution (413.5 μmol·h-1) over other quenched samples and it displayed 1.51 times higher performance than that of samples normally cooled at 500 oC (273.7 μmol · h-1). Herein, this liquid-nitrogen quenching strategy presented here provides an effective route for the synthesis of high-performance TiO2 for water splitting and have a promising prospect in the other application.
