RESUMO
In this work, we explored the formation processes of suspended hybrid thin films of thiol-capped Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) inside metal oxide tubular structures. We found that a balance between in-film interactions of the AuNPs and boundary interactions with metal oxides is a key in making these special organic-inorganic thin films. The hybrid films process many processing advantages and flexibilities, such as controllable film thickness, interfacial shape and inter-AuNPs distance, tuning of particle sizes, thiol population, chain lengths, and other new properties by introducing functional groups to thiol chains. Among their many unique features, the assembly-disassembly property may be useful for future on-off or store-release applications.
RESUMO
The long after-glow phosphorescent materials were fabricated by using "wet" method. The component materials were dissolved in water solution so that their homogeneous mix was reached at molecular level. The approach that metal nitrates and organic reductants would react spontaneously and get into combustion at a moderately low ambient temperature through oxido-reduction reaction was introduced into our fabrication of long after-glow phosphorescent samples. The ambient temperature to generate the combustion could go down to 500 degrees C, and the reaction completed within 1-2 minutes, producing a fluffy resultant with small crystal structure and even composition, which is easy to grind, and with low bulk density for its powder. UV-Vis reflective spectrophotometer was used to determine and analyze the characteristics of the sample before and after its absorption of light. The result shows that the properties of the samples fabricated from both "wet" and "dry" techniques are similar except their bulk densities, and the UV-Vis reflective spectrum was able to clearly describe the spectral characteristics of long after-glow phosphorescent materials.
