Uniform and polycrystalline tellurium nanoplates with a thickness of 100–300 nm can be rapidly synthesized by a simple solvothermal method in mixtures of water and ethanediamine at 180 °C with the assistance of glucose. By adjusting the concentration of glucose, tellurium microrods and nanoplates can be prepared. Based on the electron microscope observations, a possible mechanism involved the self-assembly process and dissolution–recrystallization mechanism is proposed for explaining the formation of polycrystalline tellurium nanoplates and their transformation into single crystalline nanorods. Furthermore, the Raman scattering measurement for the different morphologies is conducted, and the polycrystalline nanoplates present the stronger Raman scattering spectrum.

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an intriguing physical phenomenon, which is of great significance for the high precision application. In this work, we have realized to broaden the NTE temperature zone in Mg 2 P 2 O 7 -based bulk material by doping Cu atom on the Mg site. A joint study of Raman scattering and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that there are double phases in the NTE temperature zone, and the NTE of Mg 1.9 Cu 0.1 P 2 O 7 bulk material comes from the phase transition of α - and β -phase. The present work provides a way to optimize negative thermal expansion property in phase transition typed materials.

Early diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) is always a great challenge in clinical practice, especially in distinguishing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) from early cancer, due to the high similarity in pathology from the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and radiological detection. The conventional diagnostic methods are often less efficient in specificity and accuracy, leading to quite a few unnecessary biopsies. This work establishes a noninvasive diagnostic method for PCa by investigating urine samples using Raman spectroscopy and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm. The results of urine Raman spectra show the intensities of characteristic peaks for lipids, nucleic acids, and some amino acids are distinguishable between PCa and BPH, suggesting an abnormal metabolism caused by PCa, which can be detected by Raman spectroscopy. These data are then used to train an intelligent diagnostic model with CNN algorithm. The cross-validation results show the mean diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for PCa are 74.95%, 77.32%, and 72.46%, respectively. This noninvasive diagnostic method is a promising method for the early diagnosis of PCa, and the idea of using urine Raman spectroscopy with deep learning techniques for diagnosing PCa provides a reference for the application of artificial intelligence in the field of clinical medicine research.

Carbon cycle in coastal water is a significant dynamic component of global carbon budget , however, the diverse sources, carbon sinks and their complex interactions remained poorly understood. In order to detect the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and their interactions, gas-liquid Raman spectroscopy was built and applied to simultaneously detect the constituents of air, dissolved CO 2 , HCO 3 - and chlorophyll in coastal water. The linear fitting curve between peak intensity and concentration was built for the quantitative analysis of HCO 3 - and CO 2 , meanwhile, the fluorescence peaks of chlorophyll at 679 nm were detected for the qualitative analysis. For the multi-components analysis, typical Raman spectra of the constituents of air, dissolved CO 2 , HCO 3 - in seawater, and the fluorescence spectra of chlorophyll in seawater were detected. Results showed that the time dependent change of CO 2 and O 2 in the air exhibited a contrary tendency, while that of dissolved CO 2 and O 2 was curved like a cosine. The changing tendency of relative concentrations of dissolved CO 2 was about 2 h earlier than CO 2 in air, due to the life activity of microorganisms driving the gas exchange at the air-sea interface. Furthermore, the study makes a study on the relationship between DIC and chlorophyll based on the detection of HCO 3 - and chlorophyll in coastal water, indicating that this gas-liquid Raman spectroscopy could successfully provide real-time analysis of multicomponent DIC in the air-sea exchanging process.

We provide a method for preparation of binder-free cathode for rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs). Ultrasonicated natural graphite (u-NG) flakes in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is drop-casted to a carbon fiber cloth (CFC) to obtain binder-free u-GF@CFC cathode for AIBs. We also provide an in-situ Raman spectral technology and the corresponding in-situ Raman cell to determine the mechanism of intercalation/deintercalation reactions of the chloroaluminate ions at cathode of AIBs. The in-situ Raman spectra are recorded using a Raman spectrometer combined with a potentiostat/galvanostat model electrochemical workstation. • A simple preparation method of a binder-free u-GF@CFC cathode is suggested. • The u-GF@CFC cathode is obtained by drop-casting ultrasonicated graphite flakes on the surface and internal gaps of the carbon fiber cloth. • The method includes the in-situ Raman spectral technology and the corresponding in-situ Raman cell.

Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is an important branch derived from conventional Raman spectroscopy. It has the characteristics to realize the concealed component identification covered by opaque and translucent media nondestructively and rapidly. This technology gradually plays an important role in basic and applied research of numerous areas. This paper focuses on the SORS potential application in food quality and safety inspection, and a SORS detection system has been setup. The ingredients of various concealed food additives have been identified by SORS and the optimum offset distance for detection has been obtained. Meanwhile, the identification effectiveness of the system for low-concentration additives in real foods has also been evaluated.

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a key nondestructive detecting technology with a broad application demands. However, relative low stability and homogeneity of the SERS substrate hinder its practical applications. Here, a simple and flexible approach is proposed to achieve the arrayed SERS substrates with the periodicity and local randomness by directly growing silver nanoflowers on the patterned wafer fabricated by the optical interference method. By utilizing the hotspot effect of nanogaps within/between the Ag nanoflowers, the SERS substrates demonstrate the low detecting limit of 5 × 10 −10 M and 5 × 10 −9 M in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) pattern structures for Rhodamine 6G (R6G) probe molecule, respectively. The periodicity assures the fabricated substrate a promising reproducibility and stability. After the 1D array structure is left for 21 days, the intensity of Raman signal of R6G maintains at 80%. Moreover, the proposed method has the advantages of simple preparation, low cost, flexible tunability, and easy-fabrication large scale substrate. The results indicate that the long-range ordered silver nanoflower array structures are promising candidates for the high performance SERS substrate in chemical analysis, medicine and environment monitoring.

(Ba,Sr) 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ , Mn 2+ phosphors with 430/505/660 nm tri-bands or 430/660 nm dual-bands emission were demonstrated in this work by controlling the appearence or not of green emitting intermediate phases, (Ba,Sr) 2 SiO 4 :Eu 2+ . Through varying the stoichiometric amount of SiO 2 in precursor, the coexistence of green emitting intermediate phase tended to be sensitive and diversified. Laser Microzone Raman spectrum was employed to look insight into the lattice stretch and the preferential occupation sites of Ba 2+ ions in Sr 3 MgSi 2 O 8 lattices. The local structure and the crystal field of Eu 2+ luminescent centers were found to be disturbed by distorted arrangement of cross-linked [MgO 6 ] octahedra and [SiO 4 ] tetrahedra. This mechanism approach provided some new insights to further understanding the adjustment strategy of green emitting intermediate phases in (Ba,Sr) 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ , Mn 2+ phosphor potentially applied as red/blue dual-bands emitting or red/green/blue tri-bands emitting materials.

This work developed a new method for measuring the volume expansion of a CO 2 + n -dodecane mixture, using a fused silica capillary cell (FSCC), combined with a heating-cooling stage and a confocal Raman spectrometer. The cell was constructed on the micron scale to reduce the temperature gradient and reagent consumption. The results confirmed the feasibility of this method that using Raman spectra to verify phase equilibrium, a digital camera to record images of the CO 2 + n -dodecane mixture and a micrometer to measure the volume, a section of water (water seal) between n -dodecane and gas phase to prevent n -dodecane from evaporating. It was shown that the volume expansion factor of the mixture increased with pressure going from 1.0 to 10.0 MPa, but decreased as the temperature was raised from 30 to 80 °C. In addition, a positive quadratic relationship ( R 2 > 0.99) was obtained between Raman peak intensity ratio and volume expansion factor, such that more volume expansion factors could be obtained according to the equations with measured Raman peak intensity ratio data. This experiment widens the ranges of temperature and pressure in the measurements of the volume expansion, and provides more volume expansion data for CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery.

A novel Sm3+-doped Sr2CaWO6 (SCWO) red phosphor, synthesized though a solid-state reaction, was reported. Its crystal structure was analyzed and refined via the Rietveld full-pattern fitting method based on XRD patterns. The CASTEP module of Materials Studio was used to investigate the band structure and density of states of the SCWO. The optical band gap was calculated through the UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum and compared with the value predicted by the DFT method. Raman spectra were recorded to confirm the substitution of cations by Sm3+ ions. The broad W–O charge transfer band and narrow excitation band at 406 nm from Sm3+ ions have comparable intensities in SCWO:Sm3+. After the introduction of charge compensators Li+, Na+ or K+, the intensity of the near-UV excitation band at 406 nm was almost twice as much as before. The profiles of the emission spectra under excitation into the charge transfer absorption and f–f transition of Sm3+ are different, and low-symmetry Sm3+ centres are preferentially excited via f–f absorption transitions. The intensity ratios of electronic, magnetic dipole-allowed transitions under different radiations show that the charge compensators can influence the chemical environment around Sm3+.

ZnMg and NbCl 5 were intercalated in graphite and the presence of such molecules between the graphene sheets results in n- and p-type doping, respectively. The doping effect is confirmed by Hall and Raman measurements and the intercalation process is monitored by scanning tunneling microscopy . After intercalation the carrier concentration increase almost an order of magnitude and reaches values as high as 10 19 and 10 18 cm −3 for p- and n-type doping, respectively. For higher intercalation times, the intercalated graphite turns back to be as ordered as pristine one as evidenced by the reduction in the D peak in Raman measurements. Intercalation compounds show remarkable stability allowing us to permanently tune the physical properties of few-layer graphite. Our study has provided a new route to produce stable and functional graphite intercalation compounds and the results can be applied to other graphitic structures such as few-layer graphene on SiC.

This paper introduced a general method of etching suspended graphene by nonmetallic SiO x nanoparticles (SiO x NPs) in graphene synthesis. Effects of etching time, concentration of silica gel and type of graphene on the etching mode of graphene have been systematically considered with using as-grown graphene film on a silica gel coating copper as model system. Nonmetallic SiO x NPs acted as etchant plays important role in the in situ etching process during the fabrication of graphene. The etched multilayer graphene pattern can be modulated from large area films to a rectangle pattern by varying the Si concentration and etching time, while single layer graphene pattern alters little. The morphology and critical structure of SiO x etched graphene were characterized by Raman spectra, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectrum. The process and mechanism described here open the way for tailoring graphene via nanoparticles instead of metal, which show significant influence of the electrical properties of graphene.
