Monodisperse colloidal particles have promising applications in electrophoretic displays with vivid colors, reversibility and low switching times. In this study, a facile, effective and large-scale strategy for preparing size-controlled Fe3O4@SiO2 particles is reported. Multiple Fe3O4 particles were synthesized by a modified solvothermal method using sodium citrate as a surface modifier with a binary solvent, and were then coated with a SiO2 layer to obtain a highly negatively charged surface via a modified Stöber method. Owing to the easily controlled sizes and sufficient surface charges, Fe3O4@SiO2 particles can be assembled into colloidal amorphous arrays with the balance of electrostatic repulsion and electrophoretic forces. The reflections cover wavelengths ranging from 802 to 453 nm, and were optimized by investigating the dependence of the particles on variables such as particle size, particle volume fraction, and electric field intensity. The large-scale preparation of electrically responsive Fe3O4@SiO2 particles facilitates an electrophoretic display with broad-range colors, showing the practical potential in industrial application.

Ag nanoparticle (NP) paste is considered to be a next-generation thermal interface material. However, its sintered microstructure is at risk of volume shrinkage and mechanical property degradation under harsh environments. In this work, silicon carbide (SiC) NPs were mixed with Ag NP paste to improve the stability and reliability of sintered Ag joints. Robust joints were prepared by a rapid thermal compression method at 275 °C for 20 s. Although the addition of SiC NPs degraded the initial shear strengths of these joints, the SiC-containing joints exhibited excellent mechanical properties and microstructural stability during thermal shock tests from − 50 to 150 °C for up to 1000 cycles. When the added amount of SiC NPs was 2%, the joints achieved the highest shear strength of 87.1 MPa (after 1000 cycles). In addition, the shear strengths of the joints were investigated at 250 °C. The addition of SiC NPs is believed to enhance the reliability of joints at high temperature.

Chemical hydrogen storage, endowed with superiorities of safety and efficiency, has been regarded as one of the most promising approaches. The design and synthesis of metallic catalytic system is an key step for development of chemical hydrogen storate materials. In this paper, we report that RhNi nanocatalyst, formed by spontaneously alloying of well-dispersed Rh and Ni NPs , exhibits much higher performance in the catalytic dehydrogenation of hydrous hydrazine.

A novel light “on–off” photoelectrochemical sensing for the sensitive determination of hydroquinone was developed based on the porphyrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles on graphene (porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly modified onto graphene sheets using NaBH 4 as reductant and the porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites were then synthesized by self-assembly decoration of sulfhydryl porphyrin on AuNPs modified graphene sheets by S–Au bond. The porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy , X-ray photoelectron , and ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopies . The nanocomposites showed good dispersion in water and on indium tin oxide (ITO) surface. The resulting porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene modified ITO electrode showed good photoelectrochemical behavior toward the oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) at 0 V under white light illumination. The proposed photoelectrochemical method could detect hydroquinone with a wide linear response ranging from 20 to 240 nM ( R =0.9914). The detection limit was 4.6 nM for HQ ( S / N =3). Thus, the nanocomposites would be expected to be a novel photoactive material for photoelectrochemical biosensing.

The diblock copolymer poly[2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate-r-styrene]-block-poly[(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate)] [P(TFEMA-r-Sty)-b-PCEMA] was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization. The copolymer underwent self-assembly in TFEMA/CH2Cl2 to form spherical micelles. Photo-cross-linking of the PCEMA domains of these micelles yielded cross-linked nanoparticles. The cross-linked nanoparticles were subsequently cast from CH2Cl2/methanol solvent mixtures at methanol volume fractions of more than 30% to yield rough surfaces bearing small nanobumps on micron-sized aggregations that were connected together to form cross-linked nanoparticles. These surfaces were superhydrophobic with a water contact angle of 161 ± 1° and a sliding angle of 6 ± 1°. Spraying these nanoparticles onto substrates exhibiting microscale roughness, such as filter paper, by a traditional coating technique also created superhydrophobic surfaces. A thin layer of nanoscale spherical protrusions was observed on the microscale fibers of filter paper by scanning electron microscopy. The coated filter paper samples exhibited a water contact angle and a sliding angle of 153 ± 1° and 9 ± 1°, respectively.

Natural soil montmorillonite and kaolinite nanoparticles (NPs) were tested as efficient sorbents for organic contaminant (OC) removal through mimicking their natural environmental dispersive states. Sorption of both mineral NPs decreased with increasing pH with ionizable pentachlorophenol (PCP), but increased with pH with non-ionizable phenanthrene (PHE), within the pH range of 4–10. In contrast, sorption decreased consistently for both PCP and PHE, as a function of increasing ion concentration (0.001–0.1 mol L −1 ). Sorption differences were likely caused by the electrolytic conditions dependent upon surface chemistry of OCs and mineral NPs. The results confirmed that the highly dispersive soil mineral NPs would prevail over both engineered NPs and their regular μm-sized colloids for OC removal, due to their ecological advantages and higher sorption properties. This finding provided a realistic assessment of the environmental function of soil natural minerals in water once they are released from soil into OC polluted aqueous systems.

Co 4 Sb 11.5 Te 0.5 hybrid composites with dual-nano inclusions (1 vol %) of SiC whiskers (SiC w ) and SiC particles (SiC p ) are prepared by spark plasma sintering . It is found that the hybrid composites exhibit further improved flexural strength and fracture toughness compared with those reinforced by SiC w or SiC p alone, indicating a striking synergistic enhancement effect. And the dimensionless figure of merit values of the hybrid composites remain nearly unchanged compared with the sample reinforced by individual inclusion. Our study provides an effective route to further improve the mechanical prosperities of thermoelectric materials .

The Hydrogen (H 2 ) sensor based on palladium nanogaps (Pd NGs) offers the advantages of low detection limits and fast response times. It holds significant potential for early warning of H 2 leakages. However, the preparation methods of Pd NGs for such sensors are really complex. In this study, the spray-deposition method was introduced to streamline the preparation method of Pd NGs and optimize the quantity of Pd NGs by adjusting the coverage of Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs). The effect of different coverage of Pd NPs on the gas sensing performance of the sensor was investigated. The results revealed that sensors with lower coverage exhibited higher H 2 sensitivity. The sensor exhibited a response time of 10 s at room temperature and shorten to 2 s at 100 °C in 2500 ppm H 2 . Furthermore, the sensor achieved a detection limit as low as 50 ppm. These findings offer a method for effectively optimizing the sensing performance of Pd NGs based H 2 sensors.

Formic acid (FA) has tremendous potential as a safe and convenient source of hydrogen for renewable energy storage, but controlled and efficient dehydrogenation of FA by a robust solid catalyst constitutes a major challenge. In this report, a metal nanoparticle functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived N-decorated nanoporous carbon (NPC) support was fabricated and used as an efficient FA decomposition catalyst for the first time. The resultant AgPd@NPC catalyst exhibited 100% H2 selectivity and high catalytic activity (TOF = 936 h−1) toward the dehydrogenation of formic acid at 353 K. The synergetic interaction between the metal nanoparticles and NPC greatly enhances the catalytic performance of the as-prepared catalyst.

Isocyanate modified asphalt samples were got by adding quantitative isocyanate into the base asphalt. Isocyanate and nano particles composite modified asphalt samples were produced by adding quantitative isocyanate and three different kinds of inorganic nanoparticles (Silicon dioxide, Titanium dioxide, Zinc oxide) into the base asphalt respectively. Isocyanate modified asphalt, isocyanate and nanoparticles composite modified asphalt were characterized by taking physical tests, SEM, fluorescence microscopy, TG and FTIR tests, which demonstrated that the high and low temperature performance of isocyanate and nano particles composite modified asphalt had been improved effectively. From the microscopic view, the modification of the base asphalt was very significant. Results also indicated that the temperature sensitivity of composite modified asphalt had been decreased. Meanwhile, the thermal stability had been improved when compared with the base asphalt and isocyanate modified asphalt.

Starting from two wide band gap semiconductors AgTaO 3 and SrTiO 3 , we managed to reduce the band gap by forming their solid solutions, i.e. (AgTaO 3 ) 1-x (SrTiO 3 ) x (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0). These solid solutions all adopt cubic perovskite structure similar to SrTiO 3 and high temperature phase of AgTaO 3 , suggesting that SrTiO 3 is helpful to stabilize AgTaO 3 in its high temperature cubic phase. Substantial improvements over photocatalytic hydrogen production were realized in these solid solutions which clearly outperform their parent compounds AgTaO 3 and SrTiO 3 . In-situ exolution of silver nanoparticles at the surface of solid solutions (x = 0.2) substantially strengthen the visible light absorption due to localized surface plasmons of these silver nanoparticles . This contributes to further improvements on both photocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen production under visible light illumination (λ ≥ 400 nm). Apparent quantum efficiency as high as ˜ 2.02% and ˜ 0.11% was achieved at solid solutions (x = 0.2) decorated with silver nanoparticles for full range (λ ≥ 250 nm) and visible light (λ ≥ 400 nm) illumination respectively. Photoelectrochemical analysis suggests that solid solutions own a better charge separation conditions than their parent compounds. Furthermore, the band edge positions of solid solutions (x = 0.2) lie approximately in the middle between AgTaO 3 and SrTiO 3 , being ideal for solar water splitting reactions.
