This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its emergence in the 1980s, nanoscience and nanotechnology research areas are rapidly expanding. It contributes to a broad range of fields from chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science to various engineering. Nowadays, nanomaterials have already come into almost every field of our lives, such as electronics, energy converting and storage, and biomedicines. Especially, after graphene was discovered in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) materials attracted an increased interest. There is a boost in the research on controlling nanostructures and manipulating their properties. The bottom-up approach using individual atoms and molecules as building blocks to construct nanoscale materials and structures offers an opportunity to create new 2D structures or phases that don't exist in the bulk. A generic synthetic method with structure control and property engineering is highly desired for exploring 2D materials' unique properties. The air-water interface is an ideal 2D environment for the controllable synthesis of 2D materials. By employing a monolayer of self-assembled ionized amphiphilic molecules as a soft template at the air-water interface, 2D nanocrystals form in the electrical double-layer confined region and grow epitaxially directed by soft template packings. Therefore, this synthesis technique was named the ionic layer epitaxy (ILE). This dissertation focuses on the study of this 2D materials synthesis system at the air-water interface, including the growth kinetics and mechanism investigations, facet and thickness control, element and defect manipulation, and the advanced application of these 2D materials in electrochemical, physical and biological fields.

Download or read book Nanostructures Synthesis Functional Properties and Application written by Thomas Tsakalakos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advanced Study Institute on Synthesis, Functional Properties and Applications of Nanostructures, held at the Knossos Royal Village, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, July 26, 2002 - August 4, 2002, successfully reviewed the state-of-the-art of nanostructures and nanotechnology. It was concluded that Nanotechnology is widely agreed to be the research focus that will lead to the next generation of breakthroughs in science and engineering. There are three cornerstones to the expectation that Nanotechnology will yield revolutionary advances in understanding and application: • Breakthroughs in properties that arise from materials fabricated from the nanoscale. • Synergistic behavior that arise from the combination of disparate types of materials (soft vs. hard, organic vs. inorganic, chemical vs. biological vs. solid state) at the nanoscale. • Exploitation of natural (e.g. chemical and biological) assembly mechanisms that can accomplish structural control at the nanoscale. It is expected that this will lead to paradigms for assembling bio-inspired functional systems that accomplish desirable properties that are either unavailable or prohibitively expensive using top-down approaches.
Download or read book Introduction to Nanoscience written by Stuart Lindsay and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanoscience is not physics, chemistry, engineering or biology. It is all of them, and it is time for a text that integrates the disciplines. This is such a text, aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the sciences. The consequences of smallness and quantum behaviour are well known and described Richard Feynman's visionary essay 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom' (which is reproduced in this book). Another, critical, but thus far neglected, aspect of nanoscience is the complexity of nanostructures. Hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of atoms make up systems that are complex enough to show what is fashionably called 'emergent behaviour'. Quite new phenomena arise from rare configurations of the system. Examples are the Kramer's theory of reactions (Chapter 3), the Marcus theory of electron transfer (Chapter 8), and enzyme catalysis, molecular motors, and fluctuations in gene expression and splicing, all covered in the final Chapter on Nanobiology. The book is divided into three parts. Part I (The Basics) is a self-contained introduction to quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and chemical kinetics, calling on no more than basic college calculus. A conceptual approach and an array of examples and conceptual problems will allow even those without the mathematical tools to grasp much of what is important. Part II (The Tools) covers microscopy, single molecule manipulation and measurement, nanofabrication and self-assembly. Part III (Applications) covers electrons in nanostructures, molecular electronics, nano-materials and nanobiology. Each chapter starts with a survey of the required basics, but ends by making contact with current research literature.
Download or read book Nanomaterials in Catalysis written by Philippe Serp and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanocatalysis has emerged as a field at the interface between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and offers unique solutions to the demanding requirements for catalyst improvement. Heterogeneous catalysis represents one of the oldest commercial applications of nanoscience and nanoparticles of metals, semiconductors, oxides, and other compounds have been widely used for important chemical reactions. The main focus of this fi eld is the development of well-defined catalysts, which may include both metal nanoparticles and a nanomaterial as the support. These nanocatalysts should display the benefits of both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts, such as high efficiency and selectivity, stability and easy recovery/recycling. The concept of nanocatalysis is outlined in this book and, in particular, it provides a comprehensive overview of the science of colloidal nanoparticles. A broad range of topics, from the fundamentals to applications in catalysis, are covered, without excluding micelles, nanoparticles in ionic liquids, dendrimers, nanotubes, and nanooxides, as well as modeling, and the characterization of nanocatalysts, making it an indispensable reference for both researchers at universities and professionals in industry.
