Perfluorinated Sulfonic Acid

The Nafion membranes are widely used in electrochemical applications such as fuel cells, chlor-alkali cells, and actuators–sensors. In this work, the thermal-optical characterization of Nafion in acid form was performed by photoacoustic spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry. In the experimental procedure three distinct hydration levels were considered: (1) pristine membrane (λ ≅ H2O/–SO3H ≅ 5.6); (2) swelling process (λ ≅ 17.4); and (3) drying at controlled room temperature after swelling process (λ ≅ 6.5). The discovered behaviors showed significant irreversible structural changes induced by water retention in the membrane. These structural changes depend on the water population present in the clusters and also affect the directional thermal diffusivity of the membrane irreversibly.

ABSTRACTTwo optical methods are described for mapping the local variations of refractive index within monoliths of porous silica aerogel. One is an interferometrie measurement that produces “iso-index” fringes in a two dimensional image; an orthogonal view gives the third dimension information. The other method uses the deflection of a He-Ne laser beam to map the gradient index within a sample. The quantification of the measurements is described and the accuracy of the results is discussed.

Abstract Here, we report functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for the optical detection of arsenic at room temperature. GQDs with the fluorescence of three fundamental colors (red, green, and blue) were synthesized and functionally capped with L-cysteine (L-cys) to impart selectively towards As (III) by exploiting the affinity of L-cys towards arsenite. The optical characterization of GQDs was carried out using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectrometry and the structural characterizations were performed using transmission electron microscopy. The fluorescence results showed instantaneous quenching in intensity when the GQDs came in contact with As (III) for all test concentrations over a range from 0.025 ppb to 25 ppb, which covers the permissible limit of arsenic in drinking water. The experimental results suggested excellent sensitivity and selectivity towards As (III).

High Q

When combined with high index constrast slabs in which light can be efficiently guided, microfabricated two-dimensional photonic bandgap mirrors provide us with the geometries needed to confine light into extremely small volumes. We show that these high Q cavities now make it possible to define microcavity lasers which function at room temperature and have mode volumes as small as 2.5 (λ/2nslab)3 or 0.03 μm3 in InGaAsP emitting at 1.55μm.

Wurtzite ZnO nanomaterials including nanoparticles, nanocolumns and nanorods were successfully synthesized by a solution route. Concentrations of modifying reagent and differences of solvent employed in the synthetic process can effectively adjust the morphologies of the as-grown products. Photoluminescence measurements of the ZnO nanocolumns and nanorods have been carried out at room temperature. A sharp Ultraviolet emission at 386 nm and a weak visible emission centered at 515 nm were observed in the PL spectrum of the nanocolumns, while a UV emission of the nanorods was observed at 377 nm.

ZnO nanobamboos and nanowires with diameters of 10–30 nm and lengths of 2–4 μm have been prepared by laser ablation in vacuum with precisely controlled pressure, growth and post-annealing temperature. XRD results show the annealed sample is hexagonal ZnO . Low-magnified TEM observation reveals the annealed sample includes ZnO nanobamboos and nanowires. High resolution TEM image and electron diffraction pattern confirm that the structure of ZnO nanobamboo is regular stacking of Zn and O layers with high crystal quality. The growth direction is determined as along [001] direction (c axis). TEM observations confirm that the formation of bamboo-shape ZnO is due to the stacking fault and cleavage. The bundle of those stacking faults seems to be the origin of the black contrast at the nodes. The uniformity of chemical composition for the nanobamboos is identified by EDS profiles. A strong-narrow UV band centred at 390 nm and a weak-broad green band centred at 515 nm are observed at room temperature in the PL spectrum recorded from the annealed ZnO nanobamboos and nanowires.
