The modified SiO2 sphere, modified QDs, acrylamide (AM), and ethyl glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) were used as the supporter, the fluorescent material, the functional monomer, and the cross-linker, respectively.
Here we modified the sphere radii of alkali metal cations in the united atom topological model (UAKS), which was used in our CPCM calculations.
Lanthanum nitrate (La(NO3 3·6H2O) and zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2·8H2O) co-precipitated homogeneously on the surface of modified carbon spheres by adding ammonia dropwise.
It is found that slight deviations from orthogonality on the modified cubed-sphere (quasi-orthogonal) grids do not negatively impact the accuracy.
Deposited on a transparent conductive oxide substrate (TCO), a monolayer of carboxylate modified polystyrene spheres organized with a hexagonal closed-packed structure played the role of a template.
These modified carbon spheres were also characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and Transmission electron microscopy to ascertain particle size reduction or change in surface morphology of the carbon spheres.
Graphene-pasted TiO2 spheres have been prepared successfully by a two-step method including attaching relatively small graphene oxide sheets onto the surface of the modified TiO2 spheres and in-situ photocatalysis reduction of these graphene oxide sheets.
In this work, by adopting metal ions and PVP modified carbon spheres as templates, we demonstrate a seed-mediated growing strategy to control Co3O4 shapes to be 3D urchin-like hierarchical structures constructed from 40 nm-diameter nano-wires, or 3D coral-like ones assembled from thicker 100 nm-diameter nano-rods.
For the synthesis of modified carbon spheres, the two preparation routes (reflux and impregnation) and the two Pd sources were investigated and compared.
The geometry, which can be modified between sphere-like particles and needle-like structures as well as the spatial distribution of the precipitated metal nanostructures within the porous layer is tunable by the electrochemical process parameters resulting in specimens with tailored magnetic properties.
