Size-tunable Synthesis of Silver Nanobelts Using a Polyaniline Derived Polymer as a Template.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanobelts (AgNBs) have attracted a great interest due to their excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, leading a facile synthesis of these AgNBs in great demand. In here, we are reporting a simple, aqueous phase, size tunable synthesis of smooth surfaced 1D-silver nanobelts using a Polyaniline (PANi) derived polymer at room temperature. The specifically designed PANi polymer, comprising a pendant carboxyl group in the chain, acted as both a reducing agent and template. The resulting Ag nanobelts have more than 10??m of length, mean width values ranging from 41.1 (11.5) nm to 118.5 (8.8) nm and a mean thickness value of 36.7 (12.5) nm. The UV-Visible spectrum of the AgNBs has shown two Surface Plasmon Resonance peaks at 352?nm and 383?nm.

Tunable growth of silver nanobelts on monolithic activated carbon with size-dependent plasmonic response.

Project description:Silver is one of the most important materials in plasmonics. Tuning the size of various silver nanostructures has been actively pursued in the last decade. However, silver nanobelt, a typical one-dimensional silver nanostructure, has not been systematically studied as to tuning its size for controllable plasmonic response. Here we show that silver nanobelts, with mean width ranging from 45 to 105?nm and thickness at ca. 13?nm, can grow abundantly on monolithic activated carbon (MAC) through a galvanic-cell reaction mechanism. The widths of silver nanobelts are positively correlated to the growth temperatures. The width/thickness ratio of the silver nanobelts can be adjusted so that their transversal plasmonic absorption peaks can nearly span the whole visible light band, which endows them with different colours. This work demonstrates the great versatility of a simple, green and conceptually novel approach in controlled synthesis of noble metal nanostructures.

Green synthesis of conductive polyaniline by Trametes versicolor laccase using a DNA template.

Project description:The green synthesis of highly conductive polyaniline by using two biological macromolecules, i.e laccase as biocatalyst, and DNA as template/dopant, was achieved in this work. Trametes versicolor laccase B (TvB) was found effective in oxidizing both aniline and its less toxic/mutagenic dimer N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DANI) to conductive polyaniline. Reaction conditions for synthesis of conductive polyanilines were set-up, and structural and electrochemical properties of the two polymers were extensively investigated. When the less toxic aniline dimer was used as substrate, the polymerization reaction was faster and gave less-branched polymer. DNA was proven to work as hard template for both enzymatically synthesized polymers, conferring them a semi-ordered morphology. Moreover, DNA also acts as dopant leading to polymers with extraordinary conductive properties (?6 S/cm). It can be envisaged that polymer properties are magnified by the concomitant action of DNA as template and dopant. Herein, the developed combination of laccase and DNA represents a breakthrough in the green synthesis of conductive materials.

Synthesis of Polyaniline/Scarlet 3R as a Conductive Polymer.

Project description:Polyaniline (PANI) was prepared in the presence of the acidic dye scarlet 3R. Color tuning was performed on PANI through doping-dedoping processes and by changing the solvent used during the optical absorption spectroscopic measurements. The chemical structure of the resulting polymer-dye composite was analyzed using infrared absorption spectroscopy, and it showed the occurrence of secondary doping in m-cresol. The shape of the UV-Vis optical absorption spectra for the composite solution is dependent on the types of organic solvents used during the analysis, which was influenced by the conformation of PANI and the ionic interactions between PANI and scarlet 3R.

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.

Silver-Polymer Composite Stars: Synthesis and Applications.

Project description:Colloidal "silver stars" were synthesized upon poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid nanosphere templates via a facile two-step silver reduction method. Myriad dendrimer-like Ag star morphologies were synthesized by varying the amount of poly(vinyl alcohol) and trisodium citrate used during silver reduction. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed that star-shaped silver-polymer composites possessing nanoscopic, fractal morphologies with diameters ranging from 500 nm to 7 ?m were produced. These composites have broad applications from antibacterial agents to catalysis; two such applications were tested here. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) studies showed multiple hot spots of SERS activity within a single star. Electrochemical catalysis experiments demonstrated the feasibility of using the silver stars instead of platinum for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline fuel cells.

Bioinspired, Size-Tunable Self-Assembly of Polymer-Lipid Bilayer Nanodiscs.

Project description:Polymer-based nanodiscs are valuable tools in biomedical research that can offer a detergent-free solubilization of membrane proteins maintaining their native lipid environment. Herein, we introduce a novel ca. 1.6?kDa SMA-based polymer with styrene:maleic acid moieties that can form nanodiscs containing a planar lipid bilayer which are useful to reconstitute membrane proteins for structural and functional studies. The physicochemical properties and the mechanism of formation of polymer-based nanodiscs are characterized by light scattering, NMR, FT-IR, and TEM. A remarkable feature is that nanodiscs of different sizes, from nanometer to sub-micrometer diameter, can be produced by varying the lipid-to-polymer ratio. The small-size nanodiscs (up to ca. 30?nm diameter) can be used for solution NMR spectroscopy studies whereas the magnetic-alignment of macro-nanodiscs (diameter of > ca. 40?nm) can be exploited for solid-state NMR studies on membrane proteins.

Cholate-based synthesis of size-tunable cage compounds.

Project description:We describe cholate-based cage amphiphiles with a unique architecture that combines elements of structural rigidity and flexibility. The cage compounds are built by extending and bridging three polar chains underneath the concave steroid rings of cholate and capping with another rigid, symmetrically trifunctionalized cyanuric acid moiety. The connecting chains are varied to include, for instance, oligo(ethylene glycol) or chains containing 1,2,3-triazole units to present flexibility in the chemical and structural space and potentially deliver functional molecules for molecular recognition applications.

Synthesis and Characterization of Tunable Rainbow Colored Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles Using Single-Nanoparticle Plasmonic Microscopy and Spectroscopy.

Project description:Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) possess size- and shape- dependent optical properties, suggesting the possibility of tuning desired optical properties of ensemble NPs at single NP resolution and underscoring the importance of probing the sizes and shapes of single NPs in situ and in real-time. In this study, we synthesized twelve colloids of Ag NPs. Each colloid contains various sizes and shapes of single NPs, showing rainbow colors with peak-wavelength of absorption spectra from 393 to 738 nm. We correlated the sizes and shapes of single NPs determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) with scattering localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectra of single NPs characterized by dark-field optical microcopy and spectroscopy (DFOMS). Single spherical (2-39 nm in diameter), rod (2-47 nm in length with aspect ratios of 1.3-1.6), and triangular (4-84 nm in length with thickness of 2-27 nm) NPs show LSPR spectra (?(max)) at 476±5 or 533±12, 611±23, and 711±40 nm, respectively. Notably, we observed new cookie-shaped NPs, which exhibit LSPR spectra (?(max)) at 725±10 nm with a shoulder peak at 604±5 nm. Linear correlations of sizes of any given shape of single NPs with their LSPR spectra (?(max)) enable the creation of nano optical rulers (calibration curves) for identification of the sizes and shapes of single NPs in solution in real time using DFOMS, offering the feasibility of using single NPs as multicolored optical probes for study of dynamics events of interest in solutions and living organisms at nm scale in real time.

Role of <i>p</i>-Benzoquinone in the Synthesis of a Conducting Polymer, Polyaniline.

Project description:Polyaniline (PANI) and 2,5-dianilino-p-benzoquinone both are formed by oxidation of aniline in an acidic aqueous environment. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of addition of p-benzoquinone on the structure of PANI prepared by the oxidation of aniline hydrochloride with ammonium peroxydisulfate and to elucidate the formation of low-molecular-weight byproducts. An increasing yield and size-exclusion chromatography, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses of the products show that p-benzoquinone does not act as a terminating agent in the synthesis of PANI and the content of 2,5-dianilino-p-benzoquinone increases with the increasing molar concentration of p-benzoquinone in the reaction mixture, [BzQ]. Regarding the structure of PANI, Raman and UV-visible spectra show that the doping level and the charge delocalization both decrease with the increase of [BzQ], and the FTIR spectra of the PANI bases indicate an increased concentration of benzenoid units at higher [BzQ]. We explain these observations by an increasing concentration of structural defects in PANI chains and propose a 2,5-dianilino-p-benzoquinone-like structure of these defects present as pendant groups. The bands typical of 2,5-dianilino-p-benzoquinone-like moiety are observed even in the vibrational spectra of the sample prepared without addition of p-benzoquinone. This confirms in situ oxidation of aniline to p-benzoquinone within the course of the oxidation of aniline hydrochloride to PANI.
