CaO nanocrystals grown over SiO2 microtubes for efficient CO2 capture: organogel sets the platform.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials that can capture and store CO2 are important. Though CaO is a cheap sorbent, it is inefficient for practical purposes due to sintering and poor diffusion of CO2 through the surface-CaCO3 layer. We have developed a high performance, sintering-resistant CaO-based sorbent by uniformly nanofabricating the CaO nanocrystals on SiO2 microtubes made by organogel templated polymerization.

Temperature-induced reversible self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide and the structural transition from organogel to crystalline nanowires
Controlling the self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide (FF) into various nanoarchitectures has received great amounts of attention in recent years. Here, we report the temperature-induced reversible self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide to microtubes, nanowires, or organogel in different solvents. We also find that the organogel in isopropanol transforms into crystalline flakes or nanowire...

A novel method of synthesizing and controlling the size of germanium nanocrystals was developed. A tri-layer structure comprising of a thin (~5nm) SiO2 layer grown using rapid thermal oxidation (RTO), followed by a layer of Ge+SiO2 of varying thickness (6 20 nm) deposited using the radio frequency (r.f.) co-sputtering technique and a SiO2 cap layer (50nm) deposited using r.f. sputtering, was in...

متن کاملAnnealing temperature and environment effects on ZnO nanocrystals embedded in SiO2: a photoluminescence and TEM study
We report on efficient ZnO nanocrystal (ZnO-NC) emission in the near-UV region. We show that luminescence from ZnO nanocrystals embedded in a SiO2 matrix can vary significantly as a function of the annealing temperature from 450°C to 700°C. We manage to correlate the emission of the ZnO nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 thin films with transmission electron microscopy images in order to optimize th...
