Iron oxide and various metal oxide nanotubes engineered by one-pot double galvanic replacement based on reduction potential hierarchy of metal templates and ion precursors.

ABSTRACT: A one-pot double galvanic approach was explored for the rational synthesis of metal oxide nanotubes, predictable based on the reduction potential hierarchy of templates and ion precursors (e.g., Ag nanowire substrate is oxidized by MnO₄ ^- ions and it is consecutively reduced by Fe²⁺ ions to form an Fe₂O₃ nanotube). This method generated a variety of metal oxide nanotubes via a redox potential landscape.

Inverse iron oxide/metal catalysts from galvanic replacement.

Project description:Key chemical transformations require metal and redox sites in proximity at interfaces; however, in traditional oxide-supported materials, this requirement is met only at the perimeters of metal nanoparticles. We report that galvanic replacement can produce inverse FeOx/metal nanostructures in which the concentration of oxide species adjoining metal domains is maximal. The synthesis involves reductive deposition of rhodium or platinum and oxidation of Fe2+ from magnetite (Fe3O4). We discovered a parallel dissolution and adsorption of Fe2+ onto the metal, yielding inverse FeOx-coated metal nanoparticles. This nanostructure exhibits the intrinsic activity in selective CO2 reduction that simple metal nanoparticles have only at interfaces with the support. By enabling a simple way to control the surface functionality of metal particles, our approach is not only scalable but also enables a versatile palette for catalyst design.

Galvanic Exchange in Colloidal Metal/Metal-Oxide Core/Shell Nanocrystals.

Project description:While galvanic exchange is commonly applied to metallic nanoparticles, recently its applicability was expanded to metal-oxides. Here the galvanic exchange is studied in metal/metal-oxide core/shell nanocrystals. In particular Sn/SnO2 is treated by Ag(+), Pt(2+), Pt(4+), and Pd(2+). The conversion dynamics is monitored by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The Ag(+) treatment converts the Sn cores to the intermetallic Ag x Sn (x ? 4) phase, by changing the core's crystal structure. For the analogous treatment by Pt(2+), Pt(4+), and Pd(2+), such a galvanic exchange is not observed. This different behavior is caused by the semipermeability of the naturally formed SnO2 shell, which allows diffusion of Ag(+) but protects the nanocrystal cores from oxidation by Pt and Pd ions.

Reduced to Hierarchy: Carbon Filament-Supported Mixed Metal Oxide Nanoparticles.

Project description:We describe a one-pot synthesis method for carbon filament-supported mixed metal oxide nanoparticles. The thermal intracrystalline reaction of adamantanecarboxylate ions confined inside interlayer galleries of layered double hydroxide materials under a reducing atmosphere (H2) leads to carbon filaments forming in situ within the material. Raman spectroscopy and combined microscopy techniques show the formation of hybrid organic-inorganic carbon filaments with the mixed metal oxide particles interleaved.

Metal Oxide/TiO₂ Hybrid Nanotubes Fabricated through the Organogel Route.

Project description:Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanotube and its hybrid nanotubes (with various metal oxides such as Ta₂O₅, Nb₂O₅, ZrO2, and SiO₂) were fabricated by the sol-gel polymerization in the ethanol gels formed by simple l-lysine-based organogelator. The self-assembled nanofibers (gel fibers) formed by the gelator functioned as a template. The different calcination temperatures gave TiO₂ nanotubes with various crystalline structures; e.g., anatase TiO₂ nanotube was obtained by calcination at 600 °C, and rutile TiO₂ nanotube was fabricated at a calcination temperature of 750 °C. In the metal oxide/TiO₂ hybrid nanotubes, the metal oxide species were uniformly dispersed in the TiO₂ nanotube, and the percent content of metal oxide species was found to correspond closely to the feed ratio of the raw materials. This result indicated that the composition ratio of hybrid nanotubes was controllable by the feed ratio of the raw materials. It was found that the metal oxide species inhibited the crystalline phase transition of TiO₂ from anatase to rutile. Furthermore, the success of the hybridization of other metal oxides (except for TiO₂) indicated the usefulness of the organogel route as one of the fabrication methods of metal oxide nanotubes.

N-Dopant-Mediated Growth of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles on Carbon Nanotubes.

Project description:Metal oxide nanoparticles supported on heteroatom-doped graphitic surfaces have been pursued for several decades for a wide spectrum of applications. Despite extensive research on functional metal oxide nanoparticle/doped carbon nanomaterial hybrids, the role of the heteroatom dopant in the hybridization process of doped carbon nanomaterials has been overlooked. Here, the direct growth of MnOx and RuOx nanoparticles in nitrogen (N)-doped sites of carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) is presented. The quaternary nitrogen (NQ) sites of CNTs actively participate in the nucleation and growth of the metal nanoparticles. The evenly distributed NQ nucleation sites mediate the generation of uniformly dispersed <10 nm diameter MnOx and RuOx nanoparticles, directly decorated on NCNT surfaces. The electrochemical performance of the resultant hybridized materials was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. This novel hybridization method using the dopant-mediated nucleation and growth of metal oxides suggests ways that heteroatom dopants can be utilized to optimize the structure, interface and corresponding properties of graphitic carbon-based hybrid materials.

Effects of Precursors and Carbon Nanotubes on Electrochemical Properties of Electrospun Nickel Oxide Nanofibers-Based Supercapacitors.

Project description:Supercapacitors have been considered as one of the main energy storage devices. Recently, electrospun nanofibers have served as promising supercapacitor electrodes because of their high surface area, high porosity, flexibility, and resistance to aggregation. Here, we investigate the effects of electrospinning parameters and nickel precursors on the nanostructure of electrospun nickel oxide (NiO), as well as on their electrochemical performance as supercapacitor electrodes. In contrast to the case of using nickel nitrate, increasing the nickel acetate molar concentration maintains the flexible fibrous sheet morphology of the as-spun sample during the polycondensation and calcination of NiO. As a result, our flexible electrode of NiO nanofibers derived from nickel acetate (NiO-A) exhibits much better electrochemical performance values than that of nickel nitrate-derived NiO. To further improve the electrochemical storage performance, we combined NiO-A nanofibers with single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a hybrid electrode. In both half-cell and full-cell configurations, the hybrid electrode displayed a higher and steadier areal capacitance than the NiO-A nanofibers because of the synergetic effect between the NiO-A nanofibers and CNTs. Altogether, this work demonstrates the potency of the hybrid electrodes combined with the electrospun NiO-A nanofibers and CNTs for supercapacitor applications.

Galvanic replacement reaction for in situ fabrication of litchi-shaped heterogeneous liquid metal-Au nano-composite for radio-photothermal cancer therapy

Project description:With tremendous research advances in biomedical application, liquid metals (LM) also offer fantastic chemistry for synthesis of novel nano-composites. Herein, as a pioneering trial, litchi-shaped heterogeneous eutectic gallium indium-Au nanoparticles (EGaIn-Au NPs), served as effective radiosensitizer and photothermal agent for radio-photothermal cancer therapy, have been successfully prepared using in situ interfacial galvanic replacement reaction. The enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency and boosted radio-sensitization effect could be achieved with the reduction of Au nanodots onto the eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) NPs surface. Most importantly, the growth of tumor could be effectively inhibited under the combined radio-photothermal therapy mediated by EGaIn-Au NPs. Inspired by this approach, in situ interfacial galvanic replacement reaction may open a novel strategy to fabricate LM-based nano-composite with advanced multi-functionalities. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • A facile method to synthesize heterogeneous liquid metal-Au nano-composite.• The galvanic replacement reaction mechanism is proposed for the first time.• The in situ growth of Au nanodots can improve radio-photothermal effect.• The enhanced radio-photothermal effect can effectively achieve cancer therapy.

DBU-Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis of Nearly Any Metal Salt of Fatty Acid (M-FA): A Library of Metal Precursors to Semiconductor Nanocrystal Synthesis.

Project description:The metal salts of fatty acid (M-FA) are the most widely used metal precursors to colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). They play a key role in controlling the composition, shape, and size of semiconductor NCs, and their purity is essential for attaining impeccable batch-to-batch reproducibility in the optical and electrical properties of the NCs. Herein, we report a novel, one-pot synthesis of a library of highly pure M-FAs at near-quantitative yields (up to 91%) using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene or the related nonionic/noncoordinating base as an inexpensive and ecofriendly catalyst in a green solvent medium. The method is highly general and scalable with vast academic and industrial potential. As a practical application, we also demonstrate the use of these high-quality M-FAs in the synthesis of the spectrum of colloidal semiconductor NCs (III-V, II-VI, IV-VI, I-VI, I-III-VI, and perovskite) having absorption/emission in visible to the near-infrared region.

Direct observation of the nanoscale Kirkendall effect during galvanic replacement reactions.

Project description:Galvanic replacement (GR) is a simple and widely used approach to synthesize hollow nanostructures for applications in catalysis, plasmonics, and biomedical research. The reaction is driven by the difference in electrochemical potential between two metals in a solution. However, transient stages of this reaction are not fully understood. Here, we show using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy that silver (Ag) nanocubes become hollow via the nucleation, growth, and coalescence of voids inside the nanocubes, as they undergo GR with gold (Au) ions at different temperatures. These direct in situ observations indicate that void formation due to the nanoscale Kirkendall effect occurs in conjunction with GR. Although this mechanism has been suggested before, it has not been verified experimentally until now. These experiments can inform future strategies for deriving such nanostructures by providing insights into the structural transformations as a function of Au ion concentration, oxidation state of Au, and temperature.
