| 1 | Gap engineering of sandwich plasmonic gap nanostructures for boosting plasmon-enhanced electrocatalysis显示文摘Plasmonic catalysis is emerging as a dynamic field in heterogeneous catalysis and holds great promise for the efficient utilization of solar energy.Central to the development of plasmonic catalysis is the design of efficient plasmonic nanocatalysts.In this report,plasmonic gap nanostructures(PGNs)on the basis of Au@poly(o-phenylenediamine)(POPD)@Pd sandwich nanostructures are synthesized as plasmonic nanocatalysts by an in-situ reduction synthetic strategy,which allows for the precise engineering of the POPD gap size between plasmonic Au and catalytic Pd components.The introduction of conducting POPD nanogap in PGNs not only effectively enhances their light harvesting capability,but also provides an effective charge transfer channel for harnessing the photogenerated hot charge carriers.In this respect,distinct gap-dependent performances in plasmon-enhanced electrocatalysis of ethanol oxidation reactions(EOR)are demonstrated with the PGN nanocatalysts and over 2.5 folds of enhancement can be achieved.A volcano plot is derived to describe the relationship between the catalytic activities and gap size of the PGN nanocatalysts,which is well explained by the interplay of their light harvesting and charge transport capabilities.These results highlight the importance of gap engineering in PGNs for plasmonic catalysis and offer the promise of developing efficient plasmonic nanocatalysts for other heterogeneous catalytic reactions. | Lu Cheng Fengxia Wu Yu Tian Xiali Lv Fenghua Li Guobao Xu Hsien-Yi Hsu Yongjun Zhang Wenxin Niu | 2023 | Nano Research2023，16，7： | 1 |
| 2 | Rigid Dysprosium(Ⅲ)Single-Molecule Magnets Exhibit Preserved Superparamagnetism in Solution显示文摘Molecules with long preserved magnetic moments are perceived as the smallest units for storing bytes,which could bring a new revolution for information technology.However,the rational design of such molecules remains challenging.Here two rigid adamantanol ligand based dysprosium(III)complexes([Dy(1-AdO)_(2)(py)_(5)]BPh_(4)-1 and[Dy(2-AdO)_(2)(py)_(5)]BPh_(4)-2)with pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry and local D5h symmetry were successfully prepared,which display excellent single-molecule magnet(SMM)behavior(U_(eff)≈1835 K,T_(B)_(ZFC)≈24 K,T_(B)^(100s)≈17 K and T_(B)^(H)=23 K for 1;U_(eff)≈1756 K,T_(B)^(ZFC)≈20 K,T_(B)^(100s)≈16 K and T_(B)^(H)=23 K for 2)due to the much weakened vibration in low energy regimes.Remarkably,the large energy barriers and high blocking temperatures for these two complexes in solid states are well preserved in solution.This is never observed in previous studies of SMMs,indicating that the adamantanol is rigid and can be introduced to make the composed molecules stable enough to maintain the solid state magnetic property in solution. | Xiali Ding Qiancheng Luo Yuanqi Zhai Xufeng Zhang Yi Lv Xinliang Zhang Chao Ke Chao Wu Yanzhen Zheng | 2022 | Chinese Journal of Chemistry2022，40，5： | 1 |
