Large-scale atomistic and quantum-mechanical simulations of a Nafion membrane: Morphology, proton solvation and charge transport
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2013, 4, 567–587, doi:10.3762/bjnano.4.65
Influence of the solvent on the stability of bis(terpyridine) structures on graphite
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2013, 4, 269–277, doi:10.3762/bjnano.4.29
- adsorption of BTP on graphite in the presence of a liquid phase in order to assess the explicit influence of the solvent on the molecular adsorption at the solid/liquid interface. Note that the modeling of a liquid requires the determination of free energies instead of just total energies, which means that
Functionalization of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2013, 4, 129–152, doi:10.3762/bjnano.4.14
- traditional organic electrolytes, they used ionic liquids because of their nonflammability, nonvolatility, nontoxicity, large electrochemical window, and wide liquid-phase range. Practically, VA-CNTs were etched by H2O plasma in order to open the extremities of the nanotubes prior to an electrochemical
Synthesis and electrical characterization of intrinsic and in situ doped Si nanowires using a novel precursor
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2012, 3, 564–569, doi:10.3762/bjnano.3.65
- straight, crystalline, nanometre-sized wires. During VLS growth a Si precursor is introduced, which is cracked and dissolved into the catalytic liquid phase. Generally Au is used as the catalyst on Si substrates, forming a liquid alloy with a eutectic temperature of 364 °C, which, upon supersaturation
Mapping mechanical properties of organic thin films by force-modulation microscopy in aqueous media
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2012, 3, 464–474, doi:10.3762/bjnano.3.53
- microscopy (AFAM) [31], and contact resonance AFM (CR-AFM) [32][33][34][35], contact resonance frequencies are deliberately chosen to enhance the imaging sensitivity. However, acoustic AFM imaging in solution is challenging since the liquid phase complicates the cantilever dynamics through fluid damping. To
Self-assembled monolayers and titanium dioxide: From surface patterning to potential applications
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2011, 2, 845–861, doi:10.3762/bjnano.2.94
- often observed both in the liquid phase and in the gas phase, suggesting, albeit not proving [11][12] the need for adsorption as a prerequisite for photocatalysis. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) being chemisorbed in an ordered manner on surfaces such as metals (Au, Ag), oxides (SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2) and
- methods for growing titanium dioxide particles and films on SAMs: Liquid-phase deposition (LPD), atomic-layer deposition, and sol–gel. Within the context of growing TiO2 on SAMs, the LPD method is probably the most popular. It employs a solution containing TiF62− anions together with boric acid. The
- -productive bias had been measured with a liquid-phase contaminant, one could have claimed that the observed decrease in the rate was due to a significant decrease in the adsorption rate of the target molecule. Here, the fact that the OCTS molecules were chemically and irreversibly attached to the TiO2
Novel acridone-modified MCM-41 type silica: Synthesis, characterization and fluorescence tuning
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2011, 2, 284–292, doi:10.3762/bjnano.2.33
- at resonance frequencies of 400 MHz, 101 MHz and 80 MHz for 1H, 13C or 29Si nuclei, respectively. Liquid phase 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Spectrospin DPX-400 and Avance 600 devices at resonance frequencies of 400 MHz or 151 MHz for 1H or 13C nuclei, respectively. These spectra are
Schottky junction/ohmic contact behavior of a nanoporous TiO2 thin film photoanode in contact with redox electrolyte solutions
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2011, 2, 127–134, doi:10.3762/bjnano.2.15
- electron can migrate towards inside of the semiconductor bulk, thus the hole and the electron are now separated. After such migration of holes and electrons, when an electron donor (such as ethanol) is present in the contacted liquid phase, the holes can oxidize the donor in the liquid, and the electrons
- various electron donors and acceptors and other redox compounds in the liquid phase. Such Schottky junction/ohmic contact characteristics of nanoporous semiconductor thin films could be applied to a variety of photonic and electronic devices in the future. Experimental Materials and electrodes preparation
- ambient air (Figure 1). For Figure 8, the larger size G2 TiO2 was used, and Pt black was deposited electrochemically from K2[PtCl6] on a Pt plate (1 cm × 1 cm) in order to use it as an O2-reduction cathode in the liquid phase. Cell, irradiation, and measurements A cell (1 cm × 1 cm × 3 cm) was designed
Review and outlook: from single nanoparticles to self-assembled monolayers and granular GMR sensors
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2010, 1, 75–93, doi:10.3762/bjnano.1.10
- process is driven by a superposition of interparticle interactions and external forces [47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. Interparticle forces act on the nanocrystals in the liquid phase of a particle solution as well as during the assembly process on a substrate. Different forces may have major impact on the
- to the highly idealized particle distribution on top of the sensor: According to the preliminary section, (ferro-)magnetic particles form self-assembled structures and agglomerations in the liquid phase (Figure 10(a)). Therefore, the degree of clustered nanocrystals is much higher in the experimental
