We report the colloidal synthesis of monodisperse phase pure chalcostibite CuSbS 2 nanocrystals in high boiling point solvent. The use of dodecanethiol as ligands had an advantage over oleylamine on avoiding the hydrolysis of Sb precursor. The effect of reaction temperature and Cu/Sb feed molar ratio on the synthesis of copper antimony sulfide nanocrystals in dodecanethiol system was investigated. As a result of the reactivity difference between Cu and Sb precursors, the formation of CuSbS 2 nanocrystals involves the preferential nucleation of Cu-rich nanocrystals and their subsequent reaction with remaining Sb precursors. The band gap of the resulting CuSbS 2 nanocrystals was measured to be ~1.59 eV.

The water-soluble protein was extracted from Moringa oleifera seed press cake and tested its performance as a natural coagulant for removing humic acid (HA) from water solution when comparing to polyaluminum chloride (PAC), a commercial coagulant. Influencing factors including pH, coagulant dosage, temperature and suspended solid were investigated in this study. The results indicated that the coagulating efficiencies of HA using the Moringa oleifera seed protein (MOSP) were better than those by PAC under all the experimental conditions at the same dosage. MOSP could increase the zeta potential more efficiently than PAC. The Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that no new compounds were generated during the coagulation process. Hence, adsorption and charge neutralization could be the main mechanism contributing to the HA removal using MOSP as coagulant. MOSP is an ideal natural coagulant for HA removal.

The spherical silica particles in narrow size distribution with different diameters of 90 nm, 200 nm, 320 nm and 400 nm were prepared by the modified Stöber method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The phase composition of particles was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that each of the silica particle samples was in amorphous state. The shear thickening fluids (STFs) comprising 53 vol.% of silica particles and 47 vol.% of polyethylene glycol with molecular weight of 200 g mol −1 (PEG200) were prepared and evaluated. The influence of size and size distribution on the critical shear rate and the intensity of shear thickening were analyzed. The STFs prepared by silica nanoparticles with a diameter of 90 nm showed the giant rheological effect with the critical shear rate of 2.51 s −1 , the largest viscosity of 45,500 Pa∙s and the yield stress of 181 kPa. The experiments and the analysis results demonstrated that the suspensions prepared by nanoparticles have high intensity of shear thickening.

Colloidal all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals have gained significant attention as a promising material for both fundamental and applied research due to their excellent emission properties. However, reported photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QYs) of blue-emitting perovskite nanocrystals are rather low, mostly due to the fact that the high energy excitons for such wide bandgap materials are easily captured by interband traps, and then decay nonradiatively. In this work, it is demonstrated how to tackle this issue, performing self-assembly of 2D perovskite nanoplatelets into larger size (≈50 nm × 50 nm × 20 nm) cuboid crystals. In these structures, 2D nanoplatelets being isolated from each other within the cuboidal scaffold by organic ligands constitute multiple quantum wells, where exciton localization on potential disorder sites helps them to bypass nonradiative channels present in other platelets. As a result, the cuboid crystals show an extremely high PL QY of 91% of the emission band centered at 480 nm. Moreover, using the same synthetic method, mixed-anion CsPb(Br/Cl) 3 cuboid crystals with blue emission peaks ranging from 452 to 470 nm, and still high PL QYs in the range of 72–83% are produced.

Silver nanostructures with narrow plasmon linewidths and good chemical stability are strongly desired for plasmonic applications. Herein, a facile method is discussed for the preparation of Ag nanostructures with narrow plasmon linewidths and improved chemical stability through Ag overgrowth on monodispersed Au nanobipyramids. Structural evolution from bipyramid through rice to rod is observed, indicating that Ag atoms are preferentially deposited on the side surfaces of Au nanobipyramids. The resultant (Au nanobipyramid)@Ag nanostructures possess high size and shape uniformities, and much narrower plasmon linewidths than other Ag nanostructures. The spectral evolution of the supported Ag nanostructures is ascertained by both ensemble and single-particle characterizations, together with electrodynamic simulations. Systematic measurements of the refractive index sensing characteristics indicate that Ag nanostructures in this study possess high index sensitivities and figure of merit (sensitivity divided by linewidth) values. Moreover, Ag nanostructures in this study exhibit greatly improved chemical stability. The superior sensing capability of Ag nanostructures in this study is further demonstrated by the detection of sulfide ions at a relatively low detection limit. Taken together, results of this study show that the Au-nanobipyramid-supported Ag nanostructures will be an outstanding candidate for the design of ultrasensitive plasmonic sensing devices as well as for the development of other plasmon-enabled technological applications.

The formation of cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are very effortless due to its extremely fast reaction kinetics. Herein, we present simple hot-inject approach and anion exchange reaction to fabricate all inorganic colloidal CsPbX 3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). The colloidal CsPbX 3 NCs with controlling-size exhibit the characteristics of the high luminescent intensity, superior quantum yields (QY, above 69%) and the narrow-band emission tuning, the bandgap energies and emission spectra are readily tunable over the entire visible spectral region of 425–710 nm. Moreover, the third-order nonlinear optical properties of all inorganic colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbCl 3 , CsPbBr 3 , CsPbI 3 ) were measured using the Z-scan technique, indicating excellent third-order optical nonlinearities. Nonlinear optical susceptibilities reaching to 3.78 × 10 −11 esu for CsPbBr 3 NCs, figure of merit is achieving above 5 for CsPbI 3 NCs. These interesting results demonstrate that the as-prepared all inorganic colloidal CsPbX 3 perovskite nanocrystals are expected to hold great promise for application on nonlinear optoelectronic devices .

Ternary alloyed Cu2–xSySe1–y nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized by using a simple and phosphine-free colloidal approach, in which sulfur powder and 1-dodecanethiol (DDT) were used as sulfur sources. In both cases, the crystal phase transformed from cubic berzelianite to monoclinic djurleite structure together with the morphology evolution from quasi-triangular to spherical or discal with an increase of sulfur content. Accordingly, the near-infrared (NIR) localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption of the as-obtained sulfur-rich NCs exhibited obvious red-shift of wavelength and widening of absorption width. When the sulfur powder was chosen as sulfur sources, the LSPR wavelength of the as-obtained alloyed Cu2–xSySe1–y NCs could be tuned from 975 to 1230 nm with a decrease of selenium content in the NCs. In contrast, the region of the red-shift could be up to 1250 nm for the alloyed NCs synthesized by incorporation of different DDT dosage into the reaction system. The different sulfur sources and the electron donating effects of the DDT as a ligand played an important role in the LSPR absorption tuning. This deduction could be testified by the post-treating the quasi-triangular Cu2–xSe NCs with DDT under different temperatures and over different reaction time, which exhibited a red-shift of LSPR wavelength up to 450 nm due to coordination of DDT to Cu atoms on the NC surface while incorporating some sulfur anions into the lattice. This study offers a convenient tool for tuning the LSPR absorption of copper chalcogenide NCs and makes them for application in biological and optoelectronic fields.

Polyacrylate nanoparticles are widely applied and typically prepared by many polymerization methods. However, poor long-term storage stability of nanoparticles limited their use, so some methods are carried out to overcome it. In this paper, we investigated a series of fluorinated polyacrylate nanoparticles to improve the long-term storage stability of polyacrylate nanoparticles. We found that increasing fluorine content resists the aggregation of nanoparticles during long-term storage. Furthermore, a higher content of fluorine can improve the hydrophobicity of latex polyacrylate film and increase the refractive index of latex polyacrylate film. The properties of the polyacrylate nanoparticles and latex film can thus be controlled by changing fluorine contents, which in turn provides key insights into the design of functional polymer material.

Micelle-to-vesicle aggregate transition is investigated in this work through the addition of β-cyclodextrin 1 (β-CD) in mixed catanionic surfactant aqueous solutions. The catanionic system is composed of 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C 16 mimCl) and sodium oleate (NaOle) which are cationic surfactant and anionic surfactant, respectively. The mixed surfactant solutions can self −assemble into micelles, which are studied by dynamic light scattering measurements and the calculation of molecular interaction parameter. The inclusion complexation of β-CD to C 16 mimCl-NaOle surfactants is studied by surface tension measurements and the calculation of association constants. The dynamic light scattering (DLS), rheological measurements, freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy(FF-TEM)were conducted to indicate that micelles can transform into vesicles with the addition of β-CD. Finally, the transformation mechanism is proposed. The main reason for micelle-to-vesicle aggregate transition is the inclusion complexation of β-CD to surfactants and it will alter the composition of mixed C 16 mimCl-NaOle surfactant systems which should be responsible for the phase behavior.

A series of polymeric surfactants , poly acrylic acid rosin polyethylene glycol esters (P-AAR-PEG), have been synthesized from natural diterpenic rosin. Their structures were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) and their molecular weights were characterized by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). Their critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface tension (γ CMC ), foaming property (FP), and hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) value were evaluated. Their thermal properties were measured by Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) and fluid behaviors were studied by Rotational Rheometer. The influence of concentration on the properties of oil-in-water emulsions was examined and contrasted the stability of emulsion by the mean droplet size between day1 and day7. The weight-average molecular weight of P-AAR-PEG ranged from 1770 to 5071. CMC values of P-AAR-PEG were ranged from 0.33 to 0.87 g/L and the corresponding γ CMC values were ranged from 37.8 to 39.1 mN/m respectively. Their CMC and γ CMC values decreased and then increased with the increment of molecular weight of hydrophile group. Rheological measurements indicated that the P-AAR-PEG solutions changed from pseudoplastic property to Newtonian with increasing shear rate. P-AAR-PEG1000 had good emulsion ability to turpentine in water. When the concentration of P-AAR-PEG1000 was 8 wt%, the emulsion remained stable for more than 7 days.

The interactions of ions and molecules with material surface are highly dependent on the surface properties of the material. Therefore, the distribution of ions or molecules near the material surface may be affected by the surface properties. This phenomenon can be significant enough for controlling the structure of a material synthesized in the sub-micrometer scale confinement space of a template. This work confirms that inverse opals are perfect templates for offering confinement space, while their different surface properties can strongly affect ion and block copolymer distribution in the confinement space. This surface effect principle can be used for the controlled synthesis of colloids with complex composition. As an example, four kinds of mesoporous magnetic bioactive glass colloids with ordered mesopores, core–shell structure, open surface pores, or disordered mesopores are prepared by using polystyrene and carbon inverse opal templates. This work reveals that inverse opal templates possess great advantage in controlled synthesizing colloidal structures due to their surface effect on ions and molecules and confinement space.

Novel three-dimensional Ag nanoflowers (3DAN) were successfully synthesized through a facile Cu2+ mediated solution method using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), which serves as both a reducing agent and a solvent at room temperature. It was found that the introduction of a trace amount of Cu2+ could greatly slow the rate of the Ag+ reaction and thus this process effectively reduced the growth speed of Ag nanoparticles allowing 3DAN to be formed. The mechanism underlying the self-assembly process and shape evolution of 3DAN were systematically investigated by varying reaction time. X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the obtained products. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to assess the chemical state and surface composition of the 3DAN. UV-vis absorption spectra of the products collected from the reaction solution at various stages were taken to study their optical properties. In the measurement of surface-enhanced Raman scattering using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the probe, the 3DAN exhibited a significant enhancement factor, indicating their potential applications in biosensing and nanodevices.
