Visible-light controlled catalytic Cu2O-Au micromotors.

چکیده
Visible light driven Cu2O-Au micromotors exhibit rapid on/off switching and speed control. Electrochemical measurements confirm that the light-induced movement of the Cu2O-Au micromotors involves a self-electrophoresis mechanism modulated by the photoconductivity of Cu2O. This study extends the utilization of the electromagnetic spectrum for micro/nanomotors into the visible range.

متن کاملVisible-light driven Si-Au micromotors in water and organic solvents.
We report the fabrication of tadpole-shaped Si-Au micromotors using glancing angle deposition. These micromotors are activated by visible light and can move in either deionized water or organic solvents without the addition of chemical fuels. By controlling the light intensity, the velocity of the micromotors can be modulated and the motion can be switched on and off reversibly. Gas chromatogra...
متن کاملSize Control and Growth Process Study of Au@Cu2O Particles
Au@Cu2O cuboctahedron with gold triangular nanoplate core and Cu2O shell was synthesized by a chemical method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) tests demonstrated that the as-synthesis samples were consisted of gold triangular nanoplate core and Cu2O shell, and both of them were in good crystallization. The effective size control of the particles could be reali...
متن کاملAssembly synthesis of Cu2O-on-Cu nanowires with visible-light-enhanced photocatalytic activity.
New Cu2O-on-Cu nanowires (NWs) are constructed to develop the visible-light-driven activity of photocatalysts via the facile self-assembly of Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) on a Cu NW surface assisted by a structure director, followed in situ reduction. In the resultant Cu2O-on-Cu NWs, the Cu2O NPs, with a diameter of 10 nm, show good distribution on the 50 nm-sized Cu single-crystal NWs. Owing to th...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic reforming of glucose under visible light over morphology controlled Cu2O: efficient charge separation by crystal facet engineering.
Multifaceted Cu2O with controlled crystal facet exposure was synthesized via a facile one-step method. It was found that photogenerated electrons prefer to accumulate on high index planes, while holes tend to migrate to {100} facets of a Cu2O polyhedron, leading to efficient charge separation and enhanced photocatalytic reforming of glucose.
