Linker-free 3D assembly of nanocrystals with tunable unit size for reversible lithium ion storage

A simple and scalable procedure combining hydrothermal synthesis with post-synthesis calcination was developed to produce a linker-free, thermally stable, mesoscale 3D ordered assembly of spinel-type ZnCo(2)O(4) nanocrystals. The mesoscale assembly with distinctively sharp edges was formed by close-packing the ZnCo(2)O(4) nanocrystal building blocks with a unit size changeable by the synthesis temperature. A self-templating mechanism based on the topotactic transformation of an oxalato-bridged precursor coordination compound was proposed for the assembly. The packaging of crystalline ZnCo(2)O(4) nanoparticles, an active lithium ion storage compound, into a dense organized structure is an effective way to increase the volumetric capacity of ZnCo(2)O(4) nanoparticles for reversible lithium ion storage. The highly ordered 3D assembly of ZnCo(2)O(4) demonstrated excellent reversible lithium ion storage properties and a specific capacity (～800 mAh g(-1)) much higher than that of carbon (typically ～ 350 mAh g(-1)).

Uniform ordered mesoporous ZnCo2O4 nanospheres for super-sensitive enzyme-free H2O2 biosensing and glucose biofuel cell applications

Uniform,ordered mesoporous ZnCo2O4 (meso-ZnCo2O4) nanospheres were successfully synthesized using a sacrificing template method.The meso-ZnCo2O4 nanospheres were used for the first time for H2O2 biosensing and in glucose biofuel cells (GBFCs) as an enzyme mimic.The meso-ZnCo2O4 nanospheres not only exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the H2O2 sensor,achieving a high sensitivity (658.92 μA·mM-1·cm-2) and low detection limit (0.3 nM at signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) =3),but also performed as an excellent cathode material in GBFCs,resulting in an open circuit voltage of 0.83 V,maximum power density of 0.32 mW·cm-2,and limiting current density of 1.32 mA·cm-2.The preeminent catalytic abilities to H2O2 and glucose may be associated with the large specific surface area of the mesoporous structure in addition to the intrinsic catalytic activity of ZnCo2O4.These significant findings provide a successful basis for developing methods for the supersensitive detection of H2O2 and enriching catalytic materials for biofuel cells.

SnP2+-TiO2的可见光催化活性及其在介孔蒙脱石上的负载

分别以氯化锡和氯化亚锡为Sn源,使用溶胶-凝胶法制备出不同掺杂量的Sn-TiO2,比较了Sn2+与Sn4+对掺杂后TiO2可见光催化活性的影响.实验结果显示,Sn2+与Sn4+均能显著抑制TiO2晶粒生长,并促进其晶型转变.但Sn2+-TiO2的可见光催化活性却明显优于Sn4+-TiO2,这主要是Sn2+外层半充满的电子轨道结构引起的.将可见光催化活性很高的Sn2+-TiO2负载于大比表面积、高稳定性的介孔蒙脱石上,由于载体与Sn-TiO2之间发生了相互作用,负载后样品的UV-Vis光谱吸收边相对于Sn-TiO2发生了显著红移,且可见光催化活性也有大幅提高.     

Sintering Behavior and Microwave Dielectric Properties of MgTiO3 Ceramics Doped with B2O3 by Sol-Gel Method

The B2O3-doped MgTiO3 powders and ceramics have been prepared by sol-gel method using Mg(NO3)2·6H2O, Ti(C4H9O)4 and H3BO3 as the starting materials. The sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of ceramics prepared from powders with different particle sizes were investigated. The gels were calcined at 650, 700, 750, 800, 850 and 900 C and the derived particle sizes of powders were 20-30 nm, 30-40 nm, 40-60 nm, 60-90 nm, 90-120 nm and 120-150 nm, respectively. The nanoparticles with the size of 30-60 nm benefited the sintering process with high surface energy whereas nanoparticles with the size of 20-30 nm damaged the microwave dielectric properties due to the pores in the ceramics. The addition of B2O3 used as a liquid sintering aid reduced the sintering temperature of MgTiO3 ceramic, which was supposed to enter the MgTiO3 lattice and resulted in the formation of (MgTi)2(BO3)O phase. The B2O3-doped MgTiO3 ceramic sintered at 1100 C and prepared from the nanoparticles of 40-60 nm had compact structure and exhibited good microwave dielectric properties: εr=17.63, Q × f=33,768 GHz and τ f= 48×10 6 C 1.     

Luminescence properties of Ca4Y6(SiO4)6O:RE (RE = Eu, Tb, Dy, Sm and Tm) under vacuum ultraviolet excitation

The vacuum ultraviolet excited luminescent properties of Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Dy³⁺, Sm³⁺ and Tm³⁺ in the matrices of Ca₄Y₆(SiO₄)₆O were investigated. The bands at about 173 nm in the vacuum ultraviolet excited spectra were attributed to host lattice absorption of the matrix Ca₄Y₆(SiO₄)₆O. For Eu³⁺-doped samples, the O²⁻ → Eu³⁺ CTB was identified at 258 nm. Typical 4f-5d absorption bands in the region of 195-300 nm were observed in Tb³⁺-doped samples. For Dy³⁺-doped and Sm³⁺-doped samples, the broad excitation bands consisted of host absorptions, CTB and f-d transition. For Tm³⁺-doped samples, the O²⁻ → Tm³⁺ CTB was located at 191 nm. About the color purity and emission intensity, Ca₄Y₆(SiO₄)₆O:Tb³⁺ is an attractive candidate of green light PDP phosphor, and Ca₄Y₆(SiO₄)₆O:Dy³⁺ has potential application in the field of mercury-free lamps.

Facile one-pot synthesis of NiCo<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> hollow spheres with controllable number of shells for high-performance supercapacitors

In this work,single-and double-shelled NiCo2O4 hollow spheres have been synthesized in situ by a one-pot solvothermal method assisted by xylose,followed by heat treatment.Employed as supercapacitor electrode materials,the double-shelled NiCo2O4 hollow spheres exhibit a remarkable specific capacitance (1,204.4 F·g-1 at a current density of 2.0 A·g-1) and excellent cycling stability (103.6％ retention after 10,000 cycles at a current density of 10 A·g-1).Such outstanding electrochemical performance can be attributed to their unique internal morphology,which provides a higher surface area with a larger number of active sites available to interact with the electrolyte.The versatility of this method was demonstrated by applying it to other binary metal oxide materials,such as ZnCo2O4,ZnMn2O4,and CoMn2O4.The present study thus illustrates a simple and general strategy for the preparation of binary transition metal oxide hollow spheres with a controllable number of shells.This approach shows great promise for the development of next-generation high-performance electrochemical materials.
