Electrochemical deposition of Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotube patterns for glucose detection
(2010)
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) microarrays are successfully patterned on SiO2 substrates based on an evaporation-induced self-assembly mechanism. On these SWCNT micropatterns, the highly electroactive polycrystalline ...
Fabrication of polymer nanocavities with tailored openings
(2009)
A templated fabrication of open nanocavities is reported, where rational control of partial polymer attachment on sacrificial metal cores introduces openings in the polymer shells. This approach provides a facile means to ...
Metal-layer-assisted coalescence of Au nanoparticles and its effect on diameter control in vapor-liquid-solid growth of oxide nanowires
(2011)
By using the Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth of ZnO and In2O3 nanowires as examples,we demonstrate the critical role of the coalescence of Au catalyst nanoparticles in determining the final diameter distribution of ...
Photochemically controlled synthesis of anisotropic Au nanostructures : platelet-like Au nanorods and six-star Au nanoparticles
(2010)
We report the shape-controlled synthesis of anisotropic Au nanostructures through TiO2-assisted photochemical reduction of HAuCl4. By using this method, we have successfully synthesized the platelet-like Au nanorods and ...
Graphene-based materials : synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications
(2011)
Graphene, a two-dimensional, single-layer sheet of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms, has attracted tremendous attention and research interest, owing to its exceptional physical properties, such as high electronic conductivity, ...
Generation of dual patterns of metal oxide nanomaterials based on seed-mediated selective growth
(2010)
A facile route for the generation of the dual patterns of metal oxide nanomaterials, for example, ZnO and CuO, has been developed by printing the oxide seeds through a combination of microcontact printing (μCP) and ...
Reduced graphene oxide-templated photochemical synthesis and in situ assembly of Au nanodots to orderly patterned Au nanodot chains
(2010)
A novel photochemical method for the synthesis of fluorescent Au nanodots (size ≈1.2nm) is proposed (see image). The results clearly demonstrate that reduced graphene oxide sheets modified with functional organic molecules ...
Surface-induced synthesis and self-assembly of metal suprastructures
(2010)
A systematic study on the synthesis of a series of self-assembled suprastructures, such as cubes, stars, belts, and microspheres, of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) in borosilicate glassware heavily cleaned with aqua regia is ...
Organic photovoltaic devices using highly flexible reduced graphene oxide films as transparent electrodes
(2010)
The chemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was transferred onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and then used as transparent and conductive electrodes for flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. The ...
Electrochemical deposition of ZnO nanorods on transparent reduced graphene oxide electrodes for hybrid solar cells
(2010)
Monocrystalline ZnO nanorods (NRs) with high donor concentration are electrochemically deposited on highly conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films on quartz. The film thickness, optical transmittance, sheet resistance, ...
