Download or read book Engineering 3D Nanostructures for a Multitude of Applications written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectures of 3D hierarchical nanostructure arrays consisting of 1D nanostructures offers a large surface area and an unobstructed electron transport pathway which are of great technological importance for energy applications. I have developed nanomanufacturing methods to consistently and reproducibly obtain 3D hierarchical architectures through the controllable synthesis of 1D zinc oxide (ZnO) and carbon nanofibers. I have demonstrated that by adjusting the catalyst properties, engineered 3D morphologies of ZnO and carbon nanofibers can be achieved on metal current collectors. Three approaches were generated to produce such hierarchical structures, using as-synthesized 1D nanostructures as scaffolds, and I have used a multi-pronged approach to functionalize these 3D surfaces. By oxidation of a few layers of outer carbon, quinone functional groups can be formed by air annealing. As a result, more than 100% enhancement in energy storage capability has been observed. I have also developed polymer electrografting techniques, both on ZnO and on carbon surfaces. Using grafted polymers as templates, a N and O co-doped carbon layer is conformably deposited on carbon nanostructures. This new carbon heterostructure leads to a greatly enhanced oxygen reduction capability. With grafted polymer as template, I have successfully generated densely populated nanoparticles on ZnO nanowire surfaces. Rationally, these nanoparticles can be then used to grow 3D branched structures. Due to the greatly enhanced surface area, I have shown that the photoactivity of ZnO is increased both as an oxidant for dyes and for photoelectrochemical systems. This set of robust nanomanufacturing protocols are transformative and can served as platforms for a myriad of application such as future environmentally conscious energy technologies.

Download or read book Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites written by Visakh P. M. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanomaterials are defined as materials in which at least one length dimension is below 100 nanometers. In this size regime, these materials exhibit particular - and tunable - optical, electrical or mechanical properties that are not present at the macro-scale. This opens up the possibility for a plethora of applications at the interface of materials, chemistry, physics and biology, many of which have already entered the commercial realm. When nanomaterials are blended with other materials not necessarily in the nanometer regime, the resulting nanocomposites can exhibit dramatically different properties than the bulk material alone, leading to an enhanced performance in terms of, for example, increased thermal and mechanical stability. This book presents the synthesis, characterization and applications of nanomaterials and nanocomposites, covering zero-dimensional, elemental nanoparticles, one-dimensional materials such as nanorods and nanowhiskers, two-dimensional materials such as graphene and boron nitride as well as three-dimensional materials such as fullerenes, polyhedral oligomers and zeolites, complemented by bio-based nanomaterials, e.g., cellulose, chitin, starch and proteins. Introductory chapters on the state-of-the-art of nanomaterial research and the chemistry and physics in nanoscience and nanotechnology round off the book.

Download or read book Constructing three dimensional architectures to design advanced anodes materials for sodium ion batteries from nanoscale to microscale written by Yu-Feng Sun and published by OAE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as a possible substitute for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in low-cost and large-scale electrochemical energy storage systems owing to the lack of lithium resources. The properties of SIBs are correlated to the electrode materials, while the performance of electrode materials is significantly affected by the morphologies. In recent years, several kinds of anode materials involving carbon-based anodes, titanium-based anodes, conversion anodes, alloy-based anodes, and organic anodes have been systematically researched to develop high-performance SIBs. Nanostructures have huge specific surface areas and short ion diffusion pathways. However, the excessive solid electrolyte interface film and worse thermodynamic stability hinder the application of nanomaterials in SIBs. Thus, the strategies for constructing three-dimensional (3D) architectures have been developed to compensate for the flaws of nanomaterials. This review summarizes recent achievements in 3D architectures, including hollow structures, core-shell structures, yolk-shell structures, porous structures, and self-assembled nano/micro-structures, and discusses the relationship between the 3D architectures and sodium storage properties. Notably, the intention of constructing 3D architectures is to improve materials performance by integrating the benefits of various structures and components. The development of 3D architecture construction strategies will be essential to future SIB applications.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a cyclic, multi-step thin film chemical vapor deposition process based on sequential self-limiting surface reactions. It has been widely applied for synthesizing various three dimensional (3D) nanoscale morphologies. Recently, based on ALD process, a surface-reaction-limited pulsed chemical vapor deposition (SPCVD) technique was developed for 3D hierarchical branched nanowire (NW) architecture with super high surface area density and good electronic transport properties. This new ALD-based nanomanufacturing technique demonstrated great potential to conduct large-area and low-cost fabrication of high-density 3D nanomaterials for energy harvesting and storage applications, such as photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, solar cells, batteries and supercapacitors. In this dissertation, a series of experimental work is presented regarding fundamental understandings and rational controls of the SPCVD process in branched nanorod (NR) synthesis, as well as the application potentials of 3D branched nanowire architectures. First, the composition control ability of SPCVD was studied on nitrogen-doped TiO2 NRs to overcome the intrinsically visible light absorption constrains of metal oxide semiconductors. Second, to further improve the porosity and surface area while maintain good redox reaction kinetics, several 3D cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) templated fibrous TiO2 nanoarchitectures were synthesized. By integrating the strong capillary property of CNF film, the capillary PEC and capillary photocatalytic systems were developed by performing water redox reactions outside of the body of electrolyte with enhanced reaction kinetics and higher efficiency. At last, SPCVD was applied to the growth of high-density vanadium oxide (VOx) NR branches on Si NW backbones. Such a 3D hierarchical VOx/Si NW structure exhibited enhanced performance as a supercapacitor. These achievements open a new avenue of ALD for large-area, low-cost, and green fabrication of materials, which would be used in solar energy conversion and electrical energy storage.
