Synthesis of cycloiptycenes from carbon nanobelts.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of each of the cycloiptycene derivatives was achieved in one step from the (6,6)carbon nanobelt. It was revealed that the carbon nanobelt reacted as a diene in the Diels-Alder reaction with arynes and alkynes. The structures of all products were identified by X-ray crystallography to confirm that the Diels-Alder reactions took place at the six central benzene rings of the carbon nanobelt. DFT calculations indicated that the release of strain energy is the driving force to promote the Diels-Alder reaction. By using this method, we have successfully synthesized cyclotetracosiptycene, the largest iptycene ever synthesized.

Highly efficient charge transport across carbon nanobelts.

Project description:Carbon nanobelts (CNBs) are a new form of nanocarbon that has promising applications in optoelectronics due to their unique belt-shaped π-conjugated systems. Recent synthetic breakthrough has led to the access to various CNBs, but their optoelectronic properties have not been explored yet. In this work, we study the electronic transport performance of a series of CNBs by incorporating them into molecular devices using the scanning tunneling microscope break junction technique. We show that, by tuning the bridging groups between the adjacent benzenes in the CNBs, we can achieve remarkably high conductance close to 0.1 G0, nearly one order of magnitude higher than their nanoring counterpart cycloparaphenylene. Density functional theory-based calculations further elucidate the crucial role of the structural distortion played in facilitating the unique radial π-electron delocalization and charge transport across the belt-shaped carbon skeletons. These results develop a basic understanding of electronic transport properties of CNBs and lay the foundation for further exploration of CNB-based optoelectronic applications.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Gold Nanobelts.

Project description:Gold nanobelts were synthesized by the reduction of tetrachloroauric acid with ascorbic acid in the presence of the surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecylsulfate. The resulting structures have rectangular cross sectional dimensions that are tens of nanometers and lengths that are tens to hundreds of micrometers. We find that the nanobelt yield and resulting structures are very sensitive to temperature which is likely due to the transition of the surfactant solution from wormlike micelles to spherical micelles. The nanobelt crystal structure contains a mixture of face centered cubic and hexagonally close packed lattice phases that can be isolated and examined individually due to the unique nanobelt size and shape.

Carbon nanotubes and nanobelts as potential materials for biosensor.

Project description:We investigate the electronic response of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and a carbon nanobelt (CNB) to N-linked and O-linked SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins, using ab initio quantum mechanical approach. The CNTs are selected from three zigzag, armchair, and chiral groups. We examine the effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) chirality on the interaction between CNTs and glycoproteins. Results indicate that the chiral semiconductor CNTs clearly response to the presence of the glycoproteins by changing the electronic band gaps and electron density of states (DOS). Since the changes in the CNTs band gaps in the presence of N-linked are about two times larger than the changes in the presence of the O-linked glycoprotein, chiral CNT may distinguish different types of the glycoproteins. The same results are obtained from CNBs. Thereby, we predict CNBs and chiral CNTs have suitable potential in sequential analysis of N- and O-linked glycosylation of the spike protein.

Facile Synthesis of Nitrogen and Oxygen Co-Doped Clews of Carbon Nanobelts for Supercapacitors with Excellent Rate Performance.

Project description:Facile synthesis of carbon materials with high heteroatom content, large specific surface area (SSA) and hierarchical porous structure is critical for energy storage applications. In this study, nitrogen and oxygen co-doped clews of carbon nanobelts (NCNBs) with hierarchical porous structures are successfully prepared by a carbonization and subsequent activation by using ladder polymer of hydroquinone and formaldehyde (LPHF) as the precursor and ammonia as the activating agent. The hierarchical porous structures and ultra-high SSA (up to 2994 m² g−1) can effectively facilitate the exchange and transportation of electrons and ions. Moreover, suitable heteroatom content is believed to modify the wettability of the carbon material. The as-prepared activated NCNBs-60 (the NCNBs activated by ammonia at 950 °C for 60 min) possess a high capacitance of 282 F g−1 at the current density of 0.25 A g−1, NCNBs-45 (the NCNBs are activated by ammonia at 950 °C for 45 min) and show an excellent capacity retention of 50.2% when the current density increase from 0.25 to 150 A g−1. Moreover, the NCNBs-45 electrode exhibits superior electrochemical stability with 96.2% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles at 5.0 A g−1. The newly prepared NCNBs thus show great potential in the field of energy storage.

Chain Formation during Hydrogen Loss and Reconstruction in Carbon Nanobelts.

Project description:Using laser-induced vaporisation to evaporate and ionise a source of curved polyaromatic hydrocarbons (carbon nanobelts), we show collision impacts between species cause mass loss and the resultant ions are catalogued via mass-spectrometry. These data are interpreted via a series of "in-silico"-simulated systematic hydrogen-loss studies using density functional theory modelling, sequentially removing hydrogen atoms using thermodynamic stability as a selection for subsequent dehydrogenation. Initial hydrogen loss results in the formation of carbyne chains and pentagon-chains while the nanobelt rings are maintained, giving rise to new circular strained dehydrobenzoannulene species. The chains subsequently break, releasing CH and C2. Alternative routes towards the formation of closed-cages (fullerenes) are identified but shown to be less stable than chain formation, and are not observed experimentally. The results provide important information on collision degradation routes of curved molecular carbon species, and notably serve as a useful guide to high-energy impact conditions observed in some astrochemical environments.

Electronic Properties of Carbon Nanobelts Predicted by Thermally-Assisted-Occupation DFT.

Project description:Accurate prediction of properties of large-scale multi-reference (MR) electronic systems remains difficult for traditional computational methods (e.g., the Hartree-Fock theory and Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT)). Recently, thermally-assisted-occupation (TAO)-DFT has been demonstrated to offer reliable description of electronic properties of various large-scale MR electronic systems. Consequently, in this work, TAO-DFT is used to unlock the electronic properties associated with C-Belt[n] (i.e., the carbon nanobelts containing n fused 12-membered carbon rings). Our calculations show that for all the system sizes reported (n = 4-24), C-Belt[n] have singlet ground states. In general, the larger the size of C-Belt[n], the more pronounced the MR character of ground-state C-Belt[n], as evident from the symmetrized von Neumann entropy and the occupation numbers of active TAO-orbitals. Furthermore, the active TAO-orbitals are delocalized along the circumference of C-Belt[n], as evident from the visualization of active TAO-orbitals.

MoS<sub>2</sub> nanobelts-carbon hybrid material for supercapacitor applications.

Project description:The MoS2 nanobelts/Carbon hybrid nanostructure was synthesized by the simple hydrothermal method. The MoS2 nanobelts were distributed in the interlayers of Lemon grass-derived carbon (LG-C), provides the active sites and avoid restacking of the sheets. The structural and morphological characterization of MoS2/LG-C and LG-C were performed by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical measurements were studied with cyclic voltammetry, the galvanostatic charge-discharge method, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The specific capacitance of MoS2/LG-C and LG-C exhibits 77.5 F g-1 and 30.1 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. The MoS2/LG-C-based supercapacitor provided the maximum power density and energy density of 273.2 W kg-1 and 2.1 Wh kg-1, respectively. Furthermore, the cyclic stability of MoS2/LG-C was tested using charging-discharging up to 3,000 cycles, confirming only a 71.6% capacitance retention at a current density of 3 A g-1. The result showed that MoS2/LG-C is a superior low-cost electrode material that delivered a high electrochemical performance for the next generation of electrochemical energy storage.

Physical Mechanism of Spectra in Carbon Nanobelts under Quantum Size Effect.

Project description:Since the successful synthesis of [6,6]carbon nanobelt (CNB), [8,8]CNB and [12,12]CNB have been synthesized successively. CNBs with different sizes ([2N,2N]CNB; N = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) have quantum size effects and exhibit completely different optical properties. In this work, the linear and nonlinear optical properties and spectral changes of [2N,2N]CNB are studied based on density functional theory (DFT). The molecular volume, pore volume, and stability of [2N,2N]CNB are investigated. The electron transition mechanism of the one-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) spectra of [2N,2N]CNB is explained, and the extrapolation formula between the wavelength of the absorption peak and the absorption coefficient (ε) and size is given. The infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of [2N,2N]CNB are calculated, and the vibrational modes of characteristic peaks are provided. Finally, the nonlinear optical properties of [2N,2N]CNB are studied, which reflect the anisotropy of molecular polarization. The extrapolation formulas for the polarizability (α) and second hyperpolarizability (γ) of [2N,2N]CNB under different external fields are given. The extrapolation formulas given in this work will help to predict the linear and nonlinear optical properties of arbitrary [2N,2N]CNB beyond computational power, laying the foundation for the practical application of [2N,2N]CNB's theoretical basis.

Efficient Visible-Light Photocatalysis of TiO2-δ Nanobelts Utilizing Self-Induced Defects and Carbon Doping.

Project description:Efficient visible-light photocatalysis was realized by exploring self-induced defect states, including the abundant surface states of TiO2-δ nanobelts synthesized through metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The TiO2-δ nanobelts exhibited two strong defect-induced absorption peaks at 2.91 and 1.92 eV, overlapping with the conduction band states so that photoexcited carriers can contribute effectively for the photocatalysis reaction. To further enhance visible-light photocatalytic activity, carbon atoms, the by-product of the MOCVD reaction, were self-doped at the judiciously determined growth conditions. The resulting visible-light photocatalysis suggests that the large surface area and consequent high concentration of the surface states of the TiO2-δ nanobelts can be effectively utilized in a wide range of photocatalysis applications.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Silver Vanadium Oxide (Ag0.35V2O5) Nanobelts for Sensing Amines.

Project description:A simple hydrothermal method for the synthesis of Ag0.35V2O5 nanobelts with the assistance of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is reported in this study. The experimental variables that may affect the nanoparticle structures were investigated. And several advanced techniques, such as TEM, HRTEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), were used to characterize the morphology and composition of the as-prepared nanobelts. The mechanism of the formation and growth of Ag0.35V2O5 nanobelts was also investigated and discussed. The results show that SDS, as a weak reducing agent, plays a crucial role in the formation of Ag0.35V2O5. According to N2 sorption isothermals, the as-prepared Ag0.35V2O5 nanobelts are found to exhibit relative high surface area. The gas sensing performance of the Ag0.35V2O5 nanobelts towards organic amine was tested. It is found that the nanobelts show superior sensitivity of amine(s) to V2O5 particles, lower detection limit (5 ppm), and higher selectivity of amine versus ammonia at an optimized working temperature of ~260 °C. Moreover, the density functional theory (DFT) simulation was conducted to better understand the sensing mechanism. These findings may be useful in designing promising materials to detect amine gases for medical or food industrial applications.
