Homogeneous Dbd In N2: 1) Lif, Talif And Electrical Measurements, N. Gherardi, Et. Es-Sebbar, C. Sarra-Bourret, N. Naudé, F. Massines
Dr. Et-touhami Es-sebbar
In this paper we compare two different discharges that can be obtained in a DBD configuration, that is to say the filamentary discharge (usual regime in atmospheric DBD) with the Atmospheric Pressure Townsend Discharge (APTD), which is a homogeneous regime obtained in nitrogen atmosphere. The aim is to help in the understanding of the processes which control the transition from one regime to the other. To do so, the discharge is characterized through electrical measurements, coupled with optical diagnostics among which Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) for radical density measurements. The influence of the addition of small quantities of additives on …

Grain Growth And Texture Development In Lithium Fluoride Thin Films, Hakkwan Kim, Alexander H. King
Grain Growth And Texture Development In Lithium Fluoride Thin Films, Hakkwan Kim, Alexander H. King
Alexander H. King
We have studied grain-growth and texture development in polycrystalline lithium fluoride thin films using dark-field transmission electron microscopy. We demonstrate that we can isolate the size distribution of 〈111〉 surface normal grains from the overall size distribution, based on simple and plausible assumptions about the texture. The {111} texture formation and surface morphology were also observed by x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The grain-size distributions become clearly bimodal as the annealing time increases, and we deduce that the short-time size distributions are also a sum of two overlapping peaks. The smaller grain-size peak in the distribution corresponds to …

Near-Monodisperse Ni−Cu Bimetallic Nanocrystals Of Variable Composition: Controlled Synthesis And Catalytic Activity For H2 Generation, Yawen Zhang, Wenyu Huang, Susan E. Habas, John N. Kuhn, Michael E. Grass, Yusuke Yamada, Peidong Yang, Gabor A. Somorjai
Near-Monodisperse Ni−Cu Bimetallic Nanocrystals Of Variable Composition: Controlled Synthesis And Catalytic Activity For H2 Generation, Yawen Zhang, Wenyu Huang, Susan E. Habas, John N. Kuhn, Michael E. Grass, Yusuke Yamada, Peidong Yang, Gabor A. Somorjai
Wenyu Huang
Near-monodisperse Ni1−xCux (x = 0.2−0.8) bimetallic nanocrystals were synthesized by a one-pot thermolysis approach in oleylamine/1-octadecene, using metal acetylacetonates as precursors. The nanocrystals form large-area 2D superlattices, and display a catalytic synergistic effect in the hydrolysis of NaBH4 to generate H2 at x = 0.5 in a strongly basic medium. The Ni0.5Cu0.5 nanocrystals show the lowest activation energy, and also exhibit the highest H2 generation rate at 298 K.
Structure Sensitivity Of Carbon−Nitrogen Ring Opening: Impact Of Platinum Particle Size From Below 1 To 5 Nm Upon Pyrrole Hydrogenation Product Selectivity Over Monodisperse Platinum Nanoparticles Loaded Onto Mesoporous Silica, John N.

Structure Sensitivity Of Carbon−Nitrogen Ring Opening: Impact Of Platinum Particle Size From Below 1 To 5 Nm Upon Pyrrole Hydrogenation Product Selectivity Over Monodisperse Platinum Nanoparticles Loaded Onto Mesoporous Silica, John N. Kuhn, Wenyu Huang, Chia-Kuang Tsung, Yawen Zhang, Gabor A. Somorjai
Wenyu Huang
Well-defined platinum nanoparticles between 0.8 and 5.0 nm were prepared using dendrimer and polymer capping agents and supported onto mesoporous SBA-15 silica. Using these model catalysts, pyrrole hydrogenation was demonstrated to be structure sensitive because ring opening occurred more easily over larger particles compared to smaller ones. The phenomenon is caused by surface roughness or electronic effects that change with particle size.
Dendrimer Templated Synthesis Of One Nanometer Rh And Pt Particles Supported On Mesoporous Silica: Catalytic Activity For Ethylene And Pyrrole Hydrogenation, Wenyu Huang, John N. Kuhn, Chia-Kuang Tsung, Yawen Zhang, Susan E. Habas, Peidong Yang, Gabor A. Somorrjai
Dendrimer Templated Synthesis Of One Nanometer Rh And Pt Particles Supported On Mesoporous Silica: Catalytic Activity For Ethylene And Pyrrole Hydrogenation, Wenyu Huang, John N. Kuhn, Chia-Kuang Tsung, Yawen Zhang, Susan E. Habas, Peidong Yang, Gabor A. Somorrjai
Wenyu Huang
Monodisperse rhodium (Rh) and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles as small as ∼1 nm were synthesized within a fourth generation polyaminoamide (PAMAM) dendrimer, a hyperbranched polymer, in aqueous solution and immobilized by depositing onto a high-surface-area SBA-15 mesoporous support. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that the as-synthesized Rh and Pt nanoparticles were mostly oxidized. Catalytic activity of the SBA-15 supported Rh and Pt nanoparticles was studied with ethylene hydrogenation at 273 and 293 K in 10 torr of ethylene and 100 torr of H2 after reduction (76 torr of H2 mixed with 690 torr of He) at different temperatures. Catalysts were active without …
Highly Selective Synthesis Of Catalytically Active Monodisperse Rhodium Nanocubes, Yawen Zhang, Michael E. Grass, John N. Kuhn, Feng Tao, Susan E. Habas, Wenyu Huang, Peidong Yang, Gabor A. Somorjai
Highly Selective Synthesis Of Catalytically Active Monodisperse Rhodium Nanocubes, Yawen Zhang, Michael E. Grass, John N. Kuhn, Feng Tao, Susan E. Habas, Wenyu Huang, Peidong Yang, Gabor A. Somorjai
Wenyu Huang
Monodisperse sub-10 nm Rh nanocubes were synthesized with high selectivity (>85%) by a seedless polyol method. The {100} faces of the Rh NCs were effectively stabilized by chemically adsorbed Br− ions from trimethyl(tetradecyl)ammonium bromide (TTAB). This simple one-step polyol route can be readily applied to the preparation of Pt and Pd nanocubes. Moreover, the organic molecules of PVP and TTAB that encapsulated the Rh nanocubes did not prevent catalytic activity for pyrrole hydrogenation and CO oxidation.
Influence Of Reaction With Xef2 On Surface Adhesion Of Al And Al2o3 Surfaces, Tianfu Zhang, Jeong Park, Wenyu Huang, Gabor A. Somoraji
Influence Of Reaction With Xef2 On Surface Adhesion Of Al And Al2o3 Surfaces, Tianfu Zhang, Jeong Park, Wenyu Huang, Gabor A. Somoraji
Wenyu Huang
The change in surfaceadhesion after fluorination of Al and Al2O3surfaces using XeF2 was investigated with atomic force microscopy. The chemical interaction between XeF2 and Al and Al2O3surfaces was studied by in situx-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Fresh Al and Al2O3surfaces were obtained by etching top silicon layers of Si∕Al and Si∕Al2O3 with XeF2. The surfaceadhesion and chemical composition were measured after the exposure to air or annealing (at 200°C under vacuum). The correlation between the adhesion force increase and presence of AlF3 on the surface was revealed.

Time-Resolved Investigation Of The Acoustic Vibration Of A Single Gold Nanoprism Pair, J. Burgin, P. Langot, N. Del Fatti, F. Vallee, Wenyu Huang, M.A. El-Sayed
Wenyu Huang
The acoustic vibration of single gold nanoprism pairs on a glass substrate has been investigated in the time-domain combining a spatial modulation spectroscopy microscope with a high-sensitivity femtosecond pump−probe setup. Three modes were observed and ascribed to two in-plane and one out-of-plane vibration of the nanoprisms forming the pair, in agreement with a theoretical analysis. The periods of the two former modes with similar nature show weak (about 10%) and well correlated pair to pair fluctuations that can be unambiguously ascribed to variation of the prism geometry. In contrast, strong fluctuations, by almost a factor of 6, of the mode …

Sub-Two Nanometer Single Crystal Au Nanowires, Ziyang Huo, Chia-Kuang Tsung, Wenyu Huang, Xiaofeng Zhang, Peidong Yang
Wenyu Huang
Ultrathin single crystal Au nanowires with diameter of ∼1.6 nm and length of few micrometers were synthesized with high yield by simply mixing HAuCl4 and oleylamine at room temperature. High resolution transmission electron microscopy studies revealed that all of these nanowires are single crystalline and grew along the [111] direction. The valency evolution of the gold species during the synthesis was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which showed a clear Au3+ → Au+ → Au stepwise reduction at different reaction stages. Small angle X-ray scattering and small-angle X-ray diffraction suggest mesostructure formation upon HAuCl4 and oleylamine mixing. The slow in …
