Low-dimensional chainlike assemblies of TiO2 nanorod-stabilized Au nanoparticles.

چکیده
A simple and versatile light-based strategy to grow low-dimensional gold superstructures is presented; prolonged UV-irradiation of TiO2 nanorod-stabilized Au nanoparticles in organic media promotes the progressive formation of distinctive chainlike metal assemblies, namely segments of a few gold particles, 2D or quasi-1D large structures composed of interlacing lines of hundreds of metal units over areas of about 500 nm2.

Efficient charge storage in photoexcited TiO2 nanorod-noble metal nanoparticle composite systems.
Following UV-illumination, TiO2 nanorod-stabilized noble metal (Ag, Au) nanoparticles dispersed in deaerated organic mixtures can sustain a higher degree of conduction band electron accumulation than that achievable with pristine titania.
متن کاملAchieving nano-gold stability through rational design.
When Au is subdivided to the nanoscale its reactivity changes from an inert nature to one of incredible reactivity which is not replicated by other catalysts. When dispersed onto metal oxides such as TiO2, nano-Au has shown high reactivities for a multitude of reduction and oxidation reactions of industrial importance with potential and current uses such as, CO oxidation, NO x reduction, purifi...
متن کاملEnhanced photoelectrochemical properties of TiO2 nanorod arrays decorated with CdS nanoparticles
TiO2 nanorod arrays (TiO2 NRAs) sensitized with CdS nanoparticles were fabricated via successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), and TiO2 NRAs were obtained by oxidizing Ti NRAs obtained through oblique angle deposition. The TiO2 NRAs decorated with CdS nanoparticles exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties under visible light, and the one decorated with...
متن کاملEffects of acid on the microstructures and properties of three-dimensional TiO2 hierarchical structures by solvothermal method
Three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 hierarchical structures with various microstructures have been successfully synthesized via a surfactant-free and single-step solvothermal route, in which hydrochloric acid (HCl), nitric acid (HNO3), and acetic acid (HAc) are employed as the acid medium, respectively. The effects of acid medium on the microstructures and properties of 3D TiO2 hierarchical structure h...
متن کاملAnnealing effect on Sb2S3-TiO2 nanostructures for solar cell applications
Nanostructures composited of vertical rutile TiO2 nanorod arrays and Sb2S3 nanoparticles were prepared on an F:SnO2 conductive glass by hydrothermal method and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method at low temperature. Sb2S3-sensitized TiO2 nanorod solar cells were assembled using the Sb2S3-TiO2 nanostructure as the photoanode and a polysulfide solution as an electrolyte. Anneali...
