In situ growth of single-crystal TiO2 nanorod arrays on Ti substrate: Controllable synthesis and photoelectrochemical water splitting

Despite one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor nanostructure arrays attracting increasing attention due to their many advantages,highly ordered TiO2 nanorod arrays (TiO2 NR) are rarely grown in situ on Ti substrates.Herein,a feasible method to fabricate TiO2 NRs on Ti substrates by using a through-mask anodization process is reported.Self-ordered anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) overlaid on Ti substrate was used as a nanotemplate to induce the growth of TiO2 NRs.The NR length and diameter could be controlled by adjusting anodization parameters such as electrochemical anodization voltage,anodization time and temperature,and electrolyte composition.Furthermore,according to the proposed NR formation mechanism,the anodized Ti ions migrate and deposit in the AAO nanochannels to form Ti(OH)4 or amorphous TiO2 NRs under electric field,owing to the confinement effect of the template.Photoelectrochemical tests indicated that,after hydrogenation,the TiO2 NRs presented higher photocurrent density under simulated sunlight and visible light illuminations,suggesting their potential use in photoelectrochemical water splitting,photocatalysis,solar cells,and sensors.

以溶胶凝胶法制备的NaYF4前躯体干胶为模板，将干胶置于水热环境中进行反应制备NaYF4。通过X-射线衍射仪（XRD）检测可知样品中含有NaYFa，通过高分辨透射电子显微镜（HRTEM）对样品进行形貌表征发现，水热后的碳骨架上含有生成的纳米颗粒，并且在电镜下出现了晶格条纹，进一步证实生成了纳米颗粒为NaYF4。由于水热反应过程中柠檬酸三铵的脱水作用，纳米颗粒表面出现了许多孔洞。     

Electrodeposited Ni,Fe,Co and Cu single and multilayer nanowire arrays on anodic aluminum oxide template

The Ni, Fe, Co and Cu single and multilayer nanowire arrays to make perpendicular magnetic recording media were fabricated with nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates from Watt solution and additives by the DC electrodeposition. The results show that the diameters of Ni, Fe, Co and Cu single and multilayer nanowires in AAO templates are 40–80 nm and the lengths are about 30 μm with the aspect ratio of 350–750. The magnetic properties of the prepared nanowires are different under different electrodepositing conditions. The remanences (B_r) of Ni/Cu/Fe multilayer nanowires are lower than those of others multilayer nanowires, and coercivity (H_c) of Ni/Cu/Fe multilayer nanowires are lower than those of others multilayer nanowires. These are compatible with the required conditions of high density magnetic media devices that should have the low coercivity to easily success magnetization and high remanence to keep magnetization after removal of magnetic field.

将AAO模板分别在体积比为1:9(约15%(质量分数))的H_3PO_4溶液和10%(质量分数)的NaOH溶液中进行蚀刻处理,结果显示,AAO模板经过一个扩孔过程,最终孔间壁较薄部分被彻底蚀刻掉,孔间壁较厚部分留下形成氧化铝纳米线状结构.在2种蚀刻溶液中.NaOH溶液对模板的蚀刻比H_3PO_4溶液的快.这些结果对于AAO扩孔、氧化铝纳米结构的合成以及模板的去除具有一定的指导意义.

Formation of square matrix pores on Al film utilizing focused ion beam milled indent

We successfully fabricated a square pattern of anodic alumina oxide (AAO) template in thin Al film grown on Si substrate utilizing focused ion beam (FIB) milled indent. The pore size and its period of the square matrix were about 50 nm and 100 nm, respectively. We found that the minimum indented depth is required to satisfy the critical electric field which is a vertical component toward downward. In addition, we found that the anodizing voltage plays an important role in determining the pore shape and uniformity. The higher anodizing voltage not only reduces the minimum indent depth that is required to create a matrix array but also improves the uniformity of pore shapes in the matrix array.
