In this paper, a novel and facile method to achieve fluorescent nanosized-diamond based nanowire (NW) is reported. One-dimensional (1D) organic NW has received tremendous attention due to its superior chemical functionality and size-, shape-, and material-dependent properties. In addition, nanosized-diamond is comprehensively studied and investigated due to superior tunable fluorescent properties, cost-effectiveness, facile manufacturing and high biocompatibility. Through thermal treatment, sulfur-modified nanosized-diamond was fabricated by mixing oxidized nanosized-diamond and dibenzyl disulfide at 900∘C. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and zeta potential were employed to characterize sulfur-modified nanosized-diamond. After that, porous anodic aluminum oxide template-assisted cathodic electrophoretic deposition method was used to achieve sulfur-modified nanosized-diamond NW. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were applied to present the one-dimensional structure of the NWs. The optical properties of sulfur nanosized-diamond NW were characterized via ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Finally, the as-synthesized sulfur-modified nanosized-diamond NW-based optical sensor was fabricated to detect vitamin B[Formula: see text] with high sensitivity and selectivity.

Restored high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images have been recorded from 1D semiconductor crystals formed within narrow diameter (ca. 1.4 nm) single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Two unique projections were obtained from separate crystal fragments encapsulated within separate nanotubes that has facilitated the reconstruction of the three dimensional arrangement of atoms within the two encapsulated fragments.

TiO2 is regarded as a prospective electrode material owing to its excellent electrochemical properties such as the excellent cycling stability and the high safety. However, its low capacity and low electronic conductivity greatly restrict the further improvement in electrochemical performance. A new strategy was put forward to solve the above defects involved in TiO2 in which the low capacity was enhanced by nanomerization and porosity of TiO2, and the low electronic conductivity was improved by introducing Ag with a high conductivity. One-dimensional mesoporous Ag nanoparticles-embedded TiO2 nanofibers (Ag@TiO2 nanofibers) were successfully synthesized via a one-step electrospinning process combined with subsequent annealing treatment in this study. The microstructure and morphology of mesoporous TiO2@Ag nanofibers were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption. TiO2 nanofibers mainly consisted of a large amount of anatase TiO2, accompanied with traces of rutile TiO2. Ag nanoparticles were uniformly distributed throughout TiO2 nanofibers and promoted the transformation of TiO2 from the anatase to the rutile. The corresponding electrochemical performances are measured by galvanostatic charge-discharge, cycle stability, rate performance, cycle voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements in this research, with pristine TiO2 nanofibers as the reference. The results indicated that the introduction of Ag nanoparticles into TiO2 nanofibers significantly improved the diffusion coefficient of Li ions (5.42 × 10−9 cm2⋅s−1 for pristine TiO2, 1.96 × 10−8 cm2⋅s−1 for Ag@TiO2), and the electronic conductivity of TiO2 (1.69 × 10−5 S⋅cm−1 for pristine TiO2, and 1.99 × 10−5 S⋅cm−1 for Ag@TiO2), based on which the comprehensive electrochemical performance were greatly enhanced. The coulombic efficiency of the Ag@TiO2 nanofibers electrode at the first three cycles was about 56%, 93%, and 96%, which was higher than that without Ag (48%, 66%, and 79%). The Ag@TiO2 nanofibers electrode exhibited a higher specific discharge capacity of about 128.23 mAh⋅g−1 when compared with that without Ag (72.76 mAh·g−1) after 100 cycles at 100 mA·g−1. With the current density sharply increased from 40 mA·g−1 to 1000 mA·g−1, the higher average discharge capacity of 56.35 mAh·g−1 was remained in the electrode with Ag, when compared with the electrode without Ag (average discharge capacity of about 12.14 mAh·g−1). When the current density was returned to 40 mA·g−1, 80.36% of the initial value was returned (about 162.25 mAh·g−1) in the electrode with Ag, which was evidently superior to that without Ag (about 86.50 mAh·g−1, only 55.42% of the initial value). One-dimensional mesoporous Ag@TiO2 nanofibers can be regarded as a potential and promising candidate as anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

Tetragonal Rutile Structure

We have synthesized the belt-like structures of tin oxide (SnO2) by carrying out the thermal evaporation of solid Sn powders. We have analyzed the samples with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The obtained nanobelts were single crystalline with a tetragonal rutile structure. PL spectrum exhibited the visible light emission. We have discussed the possible growth mechanisms.

Microscopy Images

X-ray diffraction patterns, scanning electron microscopy images, and transmission electron microscopy images showed that one-dimensional GaN nanorods with [0001]-oriented single-crystalline wurtzite structures were grown on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by hydride vapor-phase epitaxy without a catalyst. The tip morphology of the GaN nanorods became flat with increasing temperature difference between the gas mixing and the substrate zones. The gas mixing temperature significantly affected the formation of the nanorods, and the substrate temperature influenced the morphology and the strain of the GaN nanorods near the GaN/Al2O3 heterointerface. The strain and the stress existing in the GaN layer near the heterointerface were decreased with increasing growth rate. The formation mechanisms of the GaN nanorods grown on the Al2O3 (0001) substrates are described on the basis of the experimental results.

One-dimensional Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanostructures (nanofibers) with an average diameter of 154 nm were fabricated by electrospinning. These nanofibers were characterized by X–ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Magnetic hysteresis loops were measured for randomly oriented and aligned Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanofibers, in comparison with the corresponding powder sample synthesized using the conventional sol-gel process. The differences in magnetic properties are observed between the Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanofibers and powders, and these differences mainly arise from the grain size and morphological variations between these two materials. In determining the magnetization ease axis for the aligned Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanofibers the shape anisotropy is slightly dominant competing with the magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
