(Zn,H)-codoped copper oxide nanoparticles via pulsed laser ablation on Cu-Zn alloy in water
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanosized (5 to 10 nm) amorphous and crystalline nanocondensates, i.e., metallic α-phase of Zn-Cu alloy in face-centered cubic structure and (Zn,H)-codoped cuprite (Cu2O) with high-pressure-favored close-packed sublattice, were formed by pulsed laser ablation on bulk Cu65Zn35 in water and characterized by X-ray/electron diffractions and optical spectroscopy. The as-fabricated hybrid nanocondensates are darkish and showed photoluminescence in the whole visible region. Further dwelling of such nanocondensates in water caused progressive formation of a rice-like assembly of (Zn,H)-codoped tenorite (CuO) nanoparticles with (001), (100), and {111} preferred orientations, (111) tilt boundary, yellowish color, and minimum bandgap narrowing down to ca. 2.7 eV for potential photocatalytic applications.

Thermal stability of amorphous Zn-In-Sn-O films
Isochronal annealing of amorphous Zn and Sn codoped In2O3 (a-ZITO) films was performed at the Synchrotron so that to extract, in situ, important kinetic nucleation and growth parameters from a single constant-rate heating experiment. First, amorphous Zn and Sn codoped In2O3 films were deposited via pulsed laser deposition and subjected to postdeposition annealing treatments to study their stabi...
متن کاملMetallurgical consideration on the calibration curve for binary alloy samples in low-pressure argon laser-induced plasma spectrometry.
The composition dependence of the emission intensities was investigated in Cu-Ni as well as Ni-Zn binary alloy samples when a low-pressure argon laser-induced plasma was employed as the excitation source. The calibration curve in the Cu-Ni alloy system gave a linear relationship, implying that the selective evaporation of Cu or Ni atoms was caused less in those alloys having several chemical co...

Heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) absorbed by roots brought about oxidative stress conditions through ROS production (O2̄ ̇, H2O2) for pea plants cultivated hydroponically for 96 h on a Hoagland medium with the addition of 50 μM: CdCl2, Pb(NO3)2, CuSO4, and ZnSO4. We shows, using laser ablation ICP MS, that Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn elements are located along a cross-section through the roots of pea plants...
متن کاملThe effect of common groundwater anions on the aqueous corrosion of zero-valent iron nanoparticles and associated removal of aqueous copper and zinc
This work has investigated the influence of common groundwater anions (Cl , NO3 , SO4 and HCO3 ) on the corrosion behaviour and associated removal of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) ions onto nanoscale zerovalent iron particles (nZVI). After 16 week exposure to solutions containing each anion at 10 mM concentrations, nZVI was observed to corrode into different iron (hydr)oxide phases (determined usin...
