Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Quasi-Pyramidal CuInS <sub/>2</sub> -ZnS Nanocrystals for Enhanced Near-Infrared Targeted Fluorescent Imaging of Subcutaneous Melanoma
摘要： Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent CuInS2–ZnS nanocrystals (CIZS NCs) are synthesized via an ultra-fast, non-injection microwave (MW)-assisted nanoalloying process at 230 oC within 5 min using 1-dodecanethiol (DDT) as both the sulfur source and solvent under solvothermal (ST) condition. The structural and surface analyses reveal that DDT-functionalized CIZS NCs exhibit quasi-pyramids of tetragonal-phase with well-defined facets. The DDT-functionalized CIZS NCs present a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 76% and a long-lived fluorescence lifetime of ≈0.6 μs in organic-phase. Subsequently, DDT-functionalized CIZS NCs are phase-transferred via ligand-exchange using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) into water-soluble MUA–CIZS NCs that exhibit a substantial PLQY of 55%. In addition, the NIR-fluorescent MUA-functionalized CIZS NCs in conjugation with folic acid (FA), as a tumor-targeting ligand, demonstrates enhanced tumor-targeted imaging ability. The FA–MUA–CIZS NC conjugates exhibit a cell viability of ≈75% even at the highest concentration of 1 mg mL–1 and a labeling efficiency of 95.4%. The in vivo imaging results corroborate that FA–MUA–CIZS NCs conjugates are actively targeted to folate receptor-positive B16F10 tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice in 2 h. The histopathological and hematological studies confirm no significant changes in tissue architecture and blood biochemical parameters. The confocal microscopy studies reveal deep penetration and uniform distribution of FA–MUA–CIZS NCs conjugates in subcutaneous melanoma.

Photoluminescence enhancement <i>via</i> microwave irradiation of carbon quantum dots derived from solvothermal synthesis of <scp>l</scp> -arginine
摘要： Photoluminescence enhancement of carbon quantum dots was achieved via solvothermal synthesis followed by microwave irradiation. Nitrogen and phosphorous doped carbon quantum dots were prepared by solvothermal heating of L-arginine with phosphoric acid for 12 hours followed by microwave irradiation for 3 minutes. The photoluminescence enhancement was nearly two fold after microwave irradiation. The morphology, structure, and surface properties were the same for the solvothermal (CQDs-S) as well as after microwave (CQDs-M) irradiation. Thus, the enhancement is attributed to the decrease of surface defects within CQDs, which led to a decrease in the non-radiative transitions. The CQDs were quenched selectively by Fe3+ ions. The quenching led to the fabrication of the fluorescence probe for ferric ion determination. The CQDs-M had a low detection limit of 4.0 nM, while CQDs-S had a limit of 50 nM. This study gives a tool for enhancing photoluminescence quantum yields, which is highly desired for biosensing and bioimaging applications.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Photocatalytic Properties of a Zinc(II) Coordination Polymer Based on 3-Hydroxy-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid
摘要： The zinc(II) compound, [Zn3(HL)6]n (1) (H2L = 3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) was synthesized by a solvothermal reaction of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and 3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid as raw materials. The structure of complex 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, as well as powder X-ray diffraction. X-ray structure analysis demonstrates that the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n. There are three zinc ions in the asymmetric unit, which are either five-coordinate or six-coordinate. The asymmetric units are further bridged by the carboxylate of the organic ligands, featuring a 2D framework. The solid state diffuse-reflectance UV/Vis spectra reveals that complex 1 has semiconducting nature with the energy bandgap (Eg) estimated to be 3.11 eV. The photocatalytic properties of complex 1 in degradation of organic dyes were further investigated. Results showed that the complex could degrade 54 % of the dye methylene blue solution within 120 min under UV irradiation light and reused for five times without the decline of the photocatalytic activity.

Hierarchical TiO <sub/>2</sub> microspheres composed with nanoparticle-decorated nanorods for the enhanced photovoltaic performance in dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Hierarchical TiO2 microspheres composed of nanoparticle-decorated nanorods (NP-MS) were successfully prepared with a two-step solvothermal method. There were three benefits associated with the use of NP-MS as a photoanode material. The decoration of nanoparticles improved the specific surface area and directly enhanced the dye loading ability. Rutile nanorods serving as electron transport paths resulted in fast electron transport and inhibited the charge recombination process. The three-dimensional hierarchical NP-MS structure supplied a strong light scattering capability and good connectivity. Thus, the hierarchical NP-MS combined the beneficial properties of improved scattering capability, dye loading ability, electron transport and inhibited charge recombination. Attributed to these advantages, a photoelectric conversion efficiency of up to 7.32% was obtained with the NP-MS film-based photoanode, resulting in a 43.5% enhancement compared to the efficiency of the P25 film-based photoanode (5.10%) at a similar thickness. Compared to traditional photoanodes with scattering layers or scattering centers, the fabrication process for single layered photoanodes with enhanced scattering capability was very simple. We believe the strategy would be beneficial for the easy fabrication of efficient dye-sensitized solar cells.

In situ synthesis of ternary nickel iron selenides with high performance applied in dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Comparing with the binary chalcogenides, the ternary chalcogenides may achieve higher electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity due to the synergistic effect of the different metal cations. Herein, ternary nickel iron selenide (Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2) was fabricated through a facile one-pot solvothermal method with the assistance of glucose for the first time. The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were assembled with the as-prepared Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 as counter electrode (CE). Electrochemical measurements indicated that the Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 possessed small electron transfer resistance at the interface between electrode and electrolyte, great electrocatalytic activity and reaction kinetics toward the reduction of triiodide. Compared with conventional Pt CE (7.24%), the DSSCs based on Ni0.5Fe0.5Se2 CE achieved a greater power conversion efficiency of 7.89%. Furthermore, this study provides a new idea and strategy with convenient method to synthesize Pt-free alternative materials.

Full color carbon dots through surface engineering for constructing white light-emitting diodes
摘要： White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) devices are replacing the filament lamp and they can provide a light close to the natural sunlight, which have thus drawn considerable attention in these recent years. It remains a scientific challenge to develop WLEDs using environmentally friendly, easy-to-process and cost-effective phosphors. Here we synthesized blue-, green- and red-carbon dots (denoted as B-, G- and R-CDs) by a facile solvothermal method with high dispersity both in aqueous and organic solvent. The quantum yield (QY) of the R-CDs achieved up to 24.7%. These CDs can be easily dissolved in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) colloid, leading to the production of ultraviolet (UV)-excited LED devices to avoid the retinal damage caused by blue ray excitation. The fluorescence emission of the WLED has a wide band, covering the whole visible light region. Importantly, the influence of doping that gives rise to the change of emissive colors has been elucidated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) combined with a computation method in order to provide a systematic controllable tuning on the functionalization of CDs. As such, WLEDs were demonstrated with color coordinates of (0.33, 0.33), a color temperature of 5612 K in the CIE chromaticity diagram with good anti-photobleaching and a color rendering index (CRI) of 89.

Green and red emitting YBO3:Ln3+ (Ln=Eu, Tb) phosphors for detection of latent fingerprint
摘要： In this paper, we report the synthesis of green and red emitting YBO3:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) phosphors through a solvothermal method. The crystal structure of YBO3:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) phosphors is well crystallized. The photoluminescence spectra of YBO3:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) phosphors exhibit the strong green and red emission. The photoluminescence intensity is increased with increasing Ln3+ ion concentration from 0.01 to 0.07 mol. The latent fingerprints developed on various substrates using YBO3:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) phosphors exhibited the highly clear ridge patterns of fingerprints regardless of background interference. Also, the detailed minutiae of fingerprint with different levels can be clearly observed. Therefore, YBO3:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) phosphors can be applied to luminescent materials for detection of latent fingerprint.

摘要： A thio Schiff base ligand, 1-benzylidenethiourea (L), was used as sulfur source and capping agent together for preparation of CdS nanostructures via solvothermal method in glycerol solvent. The Schiff base was characterized by elemental analysis as well as FT-IR and 1H, 13CNMR spectroscopies. Structure characterization of obtained CdS nanoparticles were studied by XRD, EDX, FT-IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies. SEM and TEM images were showed that the synthesized CdS have ?ower-like structures contain of several nanorods. The optical properties of the product was characterized by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy measurements. The PL spectrum of CdS nanoparticles shows a blue visible spectrum. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum shows the blue shift in the band gap due to the quantum con?nement effect. The effect of some parameter such as solvent type, temperature and duration of reaction on size and morphology of CdS nanostructure was investigated as well.

Facile synthesis of thin black TiO2 ? x nanosheets with enhanced lithium-storage capacity and visible light photocatalytic hydrogen production
摘要： In combination of a facile and scalable solvothermal method and solid-phase reduction reactions, a novel two-dimensional black TiO2 ? x nanosheet (TiO2 ? x NS) with high specific surface area of 108 m2 g?1 and nearly total solar spectral absorption capability have been successfully prepared. With careful characterizations, the novel TiO2 ? x NS showed enhanced electrochemical performance and visible-light photocatalytic activity than those of their white TiO2 nanosheet (TiO2 NS) precursors. The black TiO2 ? x NS electrode delivered a reversible specific capacity of 160 mA h g?1 even after cycling at 0.5 C (1 C = 190 mA h g?1) for 300 times, which was significantly higher than the corresponding white TiO2 NS electrode (104 mA h g?1). Meanwhile, the TiO2 ? x NS also exhibited enhanced ability of visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen production than that of the white TiO2 NS. It is expected that making white TiO2 NS into black ones is an effective way to design the photocatalysts with visible light response and the anodes with long lifetime and high rate performance in lithium ion batteries. The novel black TiO2 ? x NS could find potential applications in the field of environmental management and energy storage and conversion.

Effects of raw materials on NaNbO <sub/>3</sub> nanocube synthesis via the solvothermal method
摘要： A nanocube is a single nanoscale crystal with a cubic shape. Raw materials are an important factor in determining the synthesis of nanocubes. In this study, we investigated various niobium compounds that serve as raw materials, each inducing different effects during nanocube synthesis. NaNbO3 nanocubes were synthesized using a two-step process. The first step in this process, synthesis of the raw materials, was followed by solvothermal synthesis of NaNbO3 nanocubes. The raw material for the first step was obtained by applying heat treatment to a precursor following Nb hydrolysis. The heat treatment was performed at temperatures of 300°C to 1000°C. Nb2O5 was obtained after heat treatment of its precursor, during which its crystalline system morphed into hexagonal, orthorhombic, and monoclinic systems with respective increases in temperature. For the second step, we obtained various NaNbO3 morphologies via the solvothermal method using water, methanol, or ethanol as a reaction medium. NaNbO3 nanocubes were formed by applying the solvothermal method to the synthesized precursor during heat treatment at 800°C. Solvothermal synthesis was performed with methanol as the reaction medium at 200°C, which resulted in the formation of NaNbO3 nanocubes.
