Single-Crystalline Mesoporous Molybdenum Nitride Nanowires with Improved Electrochemical Properties

چکیده
We report single-crystalline mesoporous molybdenum nitride nanowires (meso-Mo3N2-NWs) prepared by topotactic reaction using single-crystalline molybdenum oxide nanowires. The single-crystalline nature of meso-Mo3N2-NWs was clearly observed by field-emission transmission electron microscopy. The meso-Mo3N2-NWs exhibited mesoporous structure with 45 m/g in specific surface area and 4.6 nm in average pore size confirmed by a nitrogen sorption measurement. Due to high specific surface area and mesoporous structure, mesoMo3N2-NWs showed much higher specific capacitance and excellent charging–discharging performance as compared with Mo3N2 prepared using conventional nitridation process.

Single crystalline mesoporous silicon nanowires.
Herein we demonstrate a novel electroless etching synthesis of monolithic, single-crystalline, mesoporous silicon nanowire arrays with a high surface area and luminescent properties consistent with conventional porous silicon materials. These porous nanowires also retain the crystallographic orientation of the wafer from which they are etched. Electron microscopy and diffraction confirm their s...
متن کاملOrdered mesoporous silica films with pores oriented perpendicular to a titanium nitride substrate.
The production of thin mesoporous silica films with small (∼2-3 nm) pores oriented perpendicular to a titanium nitride growth surface is demonstrated using two methods. These are the growth from a Stöber silica solution with surfactant ordering at the surface of the electrode, and electrochemically assisted growth from an acidic sol achieved by polarisation of the electrode surface. The thickne...

Single-crystalline, one-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures are considered to be one of the critical building blocks for nanoscale optoelectronics. Elucidation of the vapour-liquid-solid growth mechanism has already enabled precise control over nanowire position and size, yet to date, no reports have demonstrated the ability to choose from different crystallographic growth directions of a ...

Solid-state lighting (SSL) technologies, based on semiconductor light emitting devices, have the potential to reduce worldwide electricity consumption by more than 10%, which could significantly reduce U.S. dependence on imported energy and improve energy security. The III-nitride (AlGaInN) materials system forms the foundation for white SSL and could cover a wide spectral range from the deep U...
متن کاملElectrochemical Synthesis of Mesoporous CoPt Nanowires for Methanol Oxidation
A new electrochemical method to synthesize mesoporous nanowires of alloys has been developed. Electrochemical deposition in ionic liquid-in-water (IL/W) microemulsion has been successful to grow mesoporous CoPt nanowires in the interior of polycarbonate membranes. The viscosity of the medium was high, but it did not avoid the entrance of the microemulsion in the interior of the membrane's chann...
