3D hierarchical flower-like TiO2 nanostructure: morphology control and its photocatalytic property

Abstract: 3D hierarchical flower-like TiO2 nanostructures were synthesized via a facile solvothermal method combining a calcination process. A series of electron microscopy characterization results suggest that the growth of 3D hierarchical flower-like TiO2 nanostructures is governed by a nucleation and nuclei growth–dissolution–recrystallization growth mechanism from time-dependent morphology evolution. The influence of the experimental parameters such as reaction species, temperature, and time on the morphology growth was systematically studied. Importantly, the prepared 3D hierarchical flower-like TiO2 nanostructures showed enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with Degussa P25 for the degradation of phenol under UV light irradiation, which is attributed to its special hierarchical porous structure, good permeability, high light-harvesting capacity and more surface active sites. Electron spin resonance (ESR) detection of active oxygen species (hydroxyl radicals) and the total organic carbon (TOC) changes are also investigated to evaluate the degradation efficacy.

Self-assembly of ultrathin porous NiO nanosheets/graphene hierarchical structure for high-capacity and high-rate lithium storage

Abstract: A unique ultrathin porous NiO nanosheets/graphene hierarchical structure is successfully fabricated via a facile, effective, and general strategy. The advantageous combination of conducting and flexible graphene and porous and ultrathin NiO nanosheets endows the obtained hybrid with a remarkable lithium-storage performance, including high reversible capacity, good rate capability and cycle performance.

A review on the processing accuracy of two-photon polymerization

Abstract: Two-photon polymerization (TPP) is a powerful and potential technology to fabricate true three-dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures of various materials with subdiffraction-limit resolution. And it has been applied to microoptics, electronics, communications, biomedicine, microfluidic devices, MEMS and metamaterials. These applications, such as microoptics and photon crystals, put forward rigorous requirements on the processing accuracy of TPP, including the dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy and surface roughness and the processing accuracy influences their performance, even invalidate them. In order to fabricate precise 3D micro/nanostructures, the factors influencing the processing accuracy need to be considered comprehensively and systematically. In this paper, we review the basis of TPP micro/nanofabrication, including mechanism of TPP, experimental set-up for TPP and scaling laws of resolution of TPP. Then, we discuss the factors influencing the processing accuracy. Finally, we summarize the methods reported lately to improve the processing accuracy from improving the resolution and changing spatial arrangement of voxels.

Pressure-stabilized superconductive yttrium hydrides.

Abstract: The search for high-temperature superconductors has been focused on compounds containing a large fraction of hydrogen, such as SiH4(H2)2, CaH6 and KH6. Through a systematic investigation of yttrium hydrides at different hydrogen contents using an structure prediction method based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm, we have predicted two new yttrium hydrides (YH4 andYH6), which are stable above 110 GPa. Three types of hydrogen species with increased H contents were found, monatomic H in YH3, monatomic H+molecular “H2” in YH4 and hexagonal “H6” unit in YH6. Interestingly, H atoms in YH6 form sodalite-like cage sublattice with centered Y atom. Electron-phonon calculations revealed the superconductive potential of YH4 and YH6 with estimated transition temperatures (Tc) of 84–95 K and 251–264 K at 120 GPa, respectively. These values are higher than the predicted maximal Tc of 40 K in YH3.
