Title: Step-by-step growth of complex oxide microstructures

Abstract

The synthesis of complex and hybrid oxide microstructures is of fundamental interest and practical applications. However, the design and synthesis of such structures is a challenging task. A solution-phase process to synthesize complex silica and silica-titania hybrid microstructures was developed by exploiting the emulsion-droplet-based step-by-step growth featuring shape control. Lastly, the strategy is robust and can be extended to the preparation of complex hybrid structures consisting of two or more materials, with each having its own shape.

Growth behavior of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} particles formed by solid-state reactions in air and water vapor

Journal Article Kozawa, Takahiro ; Yanagisawa, Kazumichi ; Murakami, Takeshi ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Morphology control of particles formed during conventional solid-state reactions without any additives is a challenging task. Here, we propose a new strategy to control the morphology of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} particles based on water vapor-induced growth of particles during solid-state reactions. We have investigated the synthesis and microstructural evolution of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} particles in air and water vapor atmospheres as model reactions; LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} is used as a low-cost cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. By using spherical MnCO{sub 3} precursor impregnated with LiOH, LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} spheres with a hollow structure were obtained in air, while angulated particlesmore »« less

Finite-sized one-dimensional silica microstructures (rods): Synthesis, assembly, and applications

Journal Article Sharma, Jaswinder - ChemNanoMat

Abstract Colloidal silica structures are very important for applications such as superhydrophobic, oleophobic, icephobic, and anti‐biofouling coatings, polymer–ceramic or metal–matrix composites, photon management, catalyst support, and drug delivery. In addition to various types of silica structures, a unique structure—silica rods—has been synthesized by employing the emulsion droplets made by adding water and citrate to polyvinylpyrrolidone pentanol solution. While significant progress has been made in modifying rod shape and chemistry, in rod assembly, and in rod applications, however, no review article has discussed the progress in this field. This Focus Review intends to highlight the developments in the synthesis, assembly, andmore »« less

Accelerating Biomimetic Solar - Energy Harvesting: Mapping the Interaction Landscape of Plasmonic-Excitonic Hybrid Nanosystems (Final Report)

Technical Report Eisele, Dorthe M.

In general, excitonic and plasmonic nanoscale materials in close proximity show high potential for significant breakthroughs in energy related materials research. The interactions between these two kinds of materials result in coupled optical transitions (plexcitons), distinct from those of both the individual exciton and plasmon as well as from those of the sum of their constituents (synergistic effects). By linking together materials-research and physical-research approaches, this project contributes to a concerted approach on nanomaterials energy research. The project’s overall goal is to accelerate the development of well-defined plexcitonic model systems consisting of carefully engineered plasmonic and excitonic nanomaterial— essential formore »« less

From First Principles Design to Realization of Bimetallic Catalysts for Ultrahigh Selectivity - Final Project Report

Technical Report Crooks, Richard M

(A) Synthesis, Characterization, and Fundamental Properties of Bimetallic DENs. AuAg alloy and core/shell bimetallic DENs were synthesized and characterized. Selective extraction was used as a structural characterization tool for these bimetallic nanoparticles. This is significant because there are few easily accessible methods for structure elucidation of bimetallic nanoparticles in this size regime. As a first step towards the synthesis of catalytically active, bimetallic heterogeneous materials we reported the incorporation of Au and Pd monometallic DENs and AuPd bimetallic DENs into amorphous titania networks. The compositional fidelity of the original DENs, and to some extent their size, is retained following dendrimermore »« less
