Hollow one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures have drawn great attention in heterogeneous photocatalysis. Herein, we report that tapered polyacrylonitrile-derived carbon (C-PAN)/g-C3N4 composite nanotubes can be synthesized through a facile sulfur-mediated self-templating method via thermal condensation of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), melamine, and sulfur. The hollow C-PAN/g-C3N4 exhibit superior photocatalytic H2 evolution performance under visible light irradiation. 5 wt % show 16.7 times higher...
Abstract Synthetic skills are the prerequisite and foundation for modern chemical pharmaceutical industry. The same is true nanotechnology, whose development has been hindered by sluggish advance of its synthetic toolbox, i.e., emerging field nanosynthesis. Unlike organic chemistry, where variety functional groups provides numerous handles designing selectivity, colloidal particles have only facets ligands. Such similar in reactivity to each other, limited type, symmetrically positioned,...
Abstract Gold nanoparticles‐coated polystyrene (AuNPs‐coated PS) composite particles with raspberry‐like morphology are successfully prepared the aid of a unique thermodynamically driving effect. It is considerable interest that AuNPs generate and self‐assemble raw, ordinary PS microspheres preexist in oxidation–reduction systems. The synthesized AuNPs‐coated have been extensively characterized using scanning electron microscope, transmission UV–Vis‐NIR spectroscopy. results indicate...
Controlled docking, merging, and welding of hollow structures at the nanoscale are essential in constructing sophisticated systems ways similar to plumbing biosystems. To this end, regioselectivity is an important milestone demanding new tools. We bring steric effect, a powerful regioselective method organic reactions, nanoscale. By tuning exposed liquid area Janus nanobowls, sterics merging m-xylene template can be precisely modulated, giving high-purity dimers (93.6%) tetramers (80.6%) one...
Morphological coding of nanostructures represents a capability in rapid modulation structural features and most importantly, the transcription information into nanoscale. Exploiting regioselectivity template-less electrochemical synthesis ultrathin Au nanowires, we show that alternation applied potential would cause corresponding change width emerging nanowire segments. By understanding growth kinetics, strong correlation between morphologies deposition is established emulating Morse code.
Vertical nanowire arrays (NWAs) have attracted great attention for their outstanding electronic and materials transport properties. Despite the recent progresses, peel‐off of metal NWAs remains a major challenge application. Herein, problem is studied improved synthesis to solve discussed. Severe electrode degradation caused by bubble formation, but even simple cyclic voltammetry scans without redox chemistry could induce degradation. The robustness Au found depend mainly on surface...
Owing to the properties of low density, large surface areas, excellent loading capacity, high permeability, and interstitial hollow spaces, nanostructures have been widely applied in many important research fields, such as catalysis, drug-controlled release, confined synthesis, optics electronics, energy storage. This work provided a simple platform for Cu2O nanostructure synthesis based on surfactant controlling methodology, which is under supposed mechanism ion-pairing behavior at initial...
Vertically aligned noble metal nanowire arrays were grown on conductive electrodes based a solution growth method. They show significant improvement of electrocatalytic activity in ethanol oxidation, from re-deposited sample the same detached nanowires. The unusual morphology provides open diffusion channels and direct charge transport pathways, addition to high electrochemically active surface ultrathin Our best exhibited much enhanced activity, achieving 38.0 fold increase specific over...
