CeO 2 nanostructures with various morphologies were prepared through controlling preparation conditions via a hydrothermal method without any surfactants and templates. Cerium acetate, cerium chloride and cerium nitrate were used as cerium precursors to investigate the influence of anions on the growth process of CeO 2 nanostructures. The morphology evolution of CeO 2 and Ce(OH) 3 nanostructures indicates that the anions play an important role for the growth kinetics of resulting samples. Cl − and Ac − ions promoted the formation of one dementional (1D) CeO 2 nanostructures such as nanowires, nanorods and nano hexagonal prisms, while the oxidizing anion NO 3 - facilitated the synthesis of CeO 2 nanocubes. The hydrothermal reaction temperature is another key to govern the morphologies of CeO 2 nanostructures. The formation process of the nanostructures was explored and the possible growth mechanism was discussed. The variety of CeO 2 nanostructures represented inequable catalytic performance for CO oxidation . Because of different surface areas and structures, CeO 2 nanowires revealed the best catalysis performance while that of the nanocubes is the worst.

Loofah-like nanostructures have been applied in many fields because of their high specific surface area, high porosity, and low density. Developing additive manufacturing methods for loofah-like nanostructures remains a challenge. This paper proposed a novel E-Jet nanoprinting method with real-time laser zone irradiation, for one-step fabricating of loofah-like ZnO nanostructures. The combination of laser irradiation and electrohydrodynamic effect had been proved in detail by adding laser irradiation to the traditional E-Jet printing process. Printable ZnO inks were prepared. The numerical model of the jetting under the combination of flow field and electric field; and the model of the interaction between laser and printing structure were established respectively. The laser beam irradiated the printing structure in real-time to rapidly absorb energy, resulting in thermal expansion and thermal decomposition. The shock wave generated by laser irradiation induced the physical fragmentation and redistribution of particles in the printed structure. Printing at different laser powers was investigated; and the loofah-like ZnO nanostructures, down to the scale of ∼90 nm, have been directly printed without post-processing. The characteristic morphology and hydrophilic characteristics of the printed structure were studied. This study provided a new way for green and efficient additive fabrication of loofah-like nanostructures, which was of significance for the development of nanofabrication and nanodevices.

Porous ZnCo 2 O 4 nanostructures with hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) as adscititious alkali are fabricated via a facile hydrothermal route and heat treatment process . The morphology of the materials can be easily tuned from nanowires to nanobelts by simple varying the hydrothermal temperature. Due to the superiority of the porous nanostructure and the convenient ion transport, the obtained ZnCo 2 O 4 nanostructures are further applied as electrode materials for supercapacitors and exhibit noticeable pseudocapacitive performance with high specific capacitance of 776.2 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and good cycle stability (84.3% capacity retention at 3 A g −1 ). Moreover, a high-voltage asymmetric supercapacitor using the ZnCo 2 O 4 as the anode assembled with the freeze-dried reduced graphene oxide (F-RGO) cathode displays superior electrochemical performance with an ultrahigh energy density (84.48 Wh kg −1 at 0.4 kW kg −1 ), which reveals a great promise for practical application in electrochemical devices.

A phase transfer method was developed to prepare boehmite (γ-AlOOH) nanostructures with various morphologies including nanofragments, nanorods , nanoflakes and multiply stacked nanostructures . The effect of the reaction temperature on the morphology of the as-prepared γ-AlOOH was investigated systematically. After calcination , the corresponding aluminum oxide (γ-Al 2 O 3 ) nanostructures were obtained from the as-prepared γ-AlOOH products and preserving the same morphology. The obtained samples were characterized by several techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N 2 adsorption–desorption technique. The possible formation mechanism of the boehmites has also been proposed. Adsorption experiments indicated that γ-Al 2 O 3 nanorods exhibited better adsorption capacity for Congo red (CR) in contrast to other as-prepared γ-Al 2 O 3 nanostructures and commercial alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), and the adsorption obeyed well to Langmuir isotherm model. Besides, the adsorption kinetics followed pseudo-second-order rate equation .

A facile method for synthesizing hollow Au/Pt nanostructures is reported; this strategy involves using small sized Au nanoparticles (NPs) as seeds and KI as growth modifier. Under polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and potassium iodide (KI), small sized Au NPs evolved to plate-like nanostructures due to Ostwald ripening. The nanoplates served as templates for selectively growing Pt on {110} facets. Under high temperature, I− was oxidized to I2 by O2. The formed I2 and KI etched Au on {111}, generating hollow nanostructures. Through adjusting the reaction conditions, dendrite sphere-like nanostructures could also be prepared. The prepared bimetallic Au/Pt nanostructures exhibited high catalytic performance compared with sphere-like Pt.

Self-assembled DNA nanostructures, as a new type of nanocarriers, have shown great potential in molecular imaging probes. DNA bipyramid nanostructures (DBNs), as a classic kind of DNA nanostructure, can be precisely constructed through the unparalleled base-pairing precision of oligonucleotide strands. DBNs were prepared by self-assembly of six oligonucleotides with equal molar amounts in a single annealing step, and purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). DBNs were stable in 10% FBS as well as 80% mouse serum for at least 8 h. To prepare 99mTc-labeled DBNs, N-hydroxysuccinimidyl S-acetylmercaptoacetyl triglycinate (Sacetyl-MAG3-NHS ester) tagged single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was first radiolabeled with Tc-99m, and DBNs with an overhang were assembled and then hybridized with 99mTc-ssDNA to prepare 99mTc-labeled DNA bipyramid nanostructures (99mTc-MAG3-DBNs). DBNs were radiolabeled, with the radiochemical purity being over 90%. The plasma half-life of 99mTc-MAG3-DBNs in normal KM mice was about 6 min. The biodistribution and SPECT/CT imaging were conducted with 99mTc-MAG3-DBNs in KM mice, and both showed that 99mTc-MAG3-DBNs mainly concentrated in the intestine, liver, and kidneys, and there was also prominent uptake in the gallbladder and bladder. We successfully obtained a new class of SPECT molecular probes based on this DNA polyhedron structure.

Rational design of Pt-based nanostructures with a controllable morphology and composition is vital for electrocatalysis. Herein, we demonstrate a dual-template strategy to fabricate well-defined cage-bell nanostructures including a Pt core and a mesoporous PtM (M = Co, Ni) bimetallic shell (Pt@mPtM (M = Co, Ni) CBs). Owing to their unique nanostructure and bimetallic properties, Pt@mPtM (M = Co, Ni) CBs show higher catalytic activity, better durability and stronger CO tolerance for the methanol oxidation reaction than commercial Pt/C. This work provides a general method for convenient preparation of cage-bell nanostructures with a mesoporous bimetallic shell, which have high promising potential for application in electrocatalytic fields.

We report the facile synthesis of gold–silver (Au–Ag) nanostructures in a niche hybrid form of ultrathin wire–dots, where the ultrathin nanowires are embedded with quasi-spherical dots along the longitudinal direction. The key to the success of this work relies on the use of seeded growth and the introduction of excessive Ag ions in the growth stage to facilitate the formation of such a unique architecture. Several reaction parameters, including the amount of silver and reductant, seed quantity and size/morphology, are systematically investigated to reveal their role in determining the morphology of the final products. We also recorded their UV-vis extinction spectra and compared them with pure ultrathin wires to investigate the effect of dot regions on the optical properties.

Three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical BiOCl nanostructures constructed by interconnected two-dimensional (2D) nanoplates have been successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal process with the assistance of mannitol. The products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen adsorption. In the synthesis, mannitol acted both as a capping agent and a cohesive agent to mediate the formation of a hierarchical structure. A possible growth process involving crystal anisotropic growth habit and assembly process was proposed. The adsorption performance of BiOCl products for mixed organic dye removal was evaluated by using cationic rhodamine B (RhB) and anionic methyl orange (MO) as target substances. The as-prepared hierarchical BiOCl product exhibited excellent adsorption capacity and favorable recycling ability for mixed organic dye removal. This work demonstrated a novel strategy for the design and application of a well-defined complex hierarchical nanostructure.

A freestanding and flexible buckypaper modfied with CoP/Co (CoP/Co-BP) is described. It has a sponge-like nanostructure and is shown to enable improved nonenzymatic sensing of glucose. The CoP/Co-BP was prepared by first depositing a uniform layer of ZIF- 67 crystals on BP, followed by two steps of pyrolysis treatment and phosphidation under an argon atmosphere. The morphology and structure of the material were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and amperometric response. The amperometric sensor, best operated at 0.45 V (vs. SCE) at pH 13 has a linear range that extends from 0.5 μM to 1.8 mM of glucose, a 0.2 μM detection limit (at S/ N = 3), and a sensitivity of 6427 μA mM −1 cm −2 in alkaline solution. This is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between the highly active CoP nanostructure and BP which results in excellent conductivity. The uniformly distributed CoP nanoparticles in the network of BP prevent the formation of close-packed structure and facilitate electron transfer. The sensor has good selectivity and excellent long-term stability. It was applied to the determination of glucose in spiked human serum, and satisfactory results were obtained.

The effective disposal and/or utilization of polyethylene terephthalate ((C 10 H 8 O 4 ) n , PET) waste plastics are currently global problems that need to be addressed urgently. The current research examines the molten salt-based thermal treatment of PET waste, as a new approach to tackle this challenge. The effect of various molten salts, comprising KCl, MgCl 2 , ZnCl 2 , NaCl , KF and NaF on the structural and morphological evolution of PET upon heating in air to 1300 °C is investigated. PET is transformed into carbon materials with different characteristics, including graphene-like nanosheets and porous nanostructures , with different electrical conductivity values, depending on the type of salt employed. The melting and evaporation points, as well as the cation size of the salt, are found to have a significant influence on the morphology and the crystallization level of the carbon products, based on which the characteristics of PET-derived carbons are regulated. Accordingly, the crystallinity and graphitization degree of the carbon materials obtained in NaF, KF and NaCl are found to be considerably greater than those obtained in ZnCl 2 , MgCl 2 and KCl. The possible mechanism involved in the conversion of PET into carbon nanostructures in the molten salt environment is discussed. The results obtained provide insights into molten salt conversion of PET into carbon materials with different properties for various applications.

Due to their high porosity, large specific surface area, and structural similarity with the extracellular matrix (ECM), electrospun nanofiber membranes are often endowed with the antibacterial properties for biomedical applications. The purpose of this study was to synthesize nano-structured Sc2O3-MgO by doping Sc3+, calcining at 600 °C, and then loading it onto the PCL/PVP substrates with electrospinning technology with the aim of developing new efficient antibacterial nanofiber membranes for tissue engineering. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) were used to study the morphology of all formulations and analyze the types and contents of the elements, and an X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) were used for further analysis. The experimental results showed that the PCL/PVP (SMCV-2.0) nanofibers loaded with 2.0 wt% Sc2O3-MgO were smooth and homogeneous with an average diameter of 252.6 nm; the antibacterial test indicated that a low load concentration of 2.0 wt% Sc2O3-MgO in PCL/PVP (SMCV-2.0) showed a 100% antibacterial rate againstEscherichia coli(E. coli).Keywords:nano-textured;Sc2O3-MgO;antibacterial;electrospinning
